Was trying to use one of the loos in the office. However, a big sign outside proclaimed 'A female hygiene operator is restoring this toilet facility to its former glory. Please use other facilities. Wont take more than 10 mins'. Glad it did not come with a QR code and Google map to find the nearest loo.

Whatever happened to good old 'Cleaning in Progress' and who is a 'Female Hygiene Operator' Anyone seen any other over the top signs recently?
 
I hope you did the right thing and entered the room, declaring that you'd happily give her a "30 second grace period" as you closed the trap door behind you.

That would've ensured a rapid clean up!
 
At least you had a warning sign of sorts.. Couple weeks ago I was merrily using the urinals in the gents as we all do and in walks the female cleaner whilst i'm mid flow and no apology she just said "i'm in the middle of cleaning in here" told her well no sign up, no wet floor signs so she can either carry on around me or wait her turn! We still have no signs being used!

As for her job title its the world gone PC Mad, its like an ad in local jobs paper the other day looking for Refuse Collection Operatives whats wrong with the good old fashioned term "Bin Man" or one at our place recently advertising for Head Office Operational Greeting Advisor & Telephonist! or as I call the lady that got the job "a receptionist"

Probably at least a dozen on a panel named "Operational research & development panel for employment related terminology for human resources" Or simply put "The Personnel Dept"

We've gone all american in this modern era in the UK trying to find titles for things that already had simple effective terminology to describe it. My mum used to be a "dinner lady" at the primary school round the corner now they advertise them as "Recreational Supervisors " I have no idea what a recreational supervisor is but I sure has hell know what a dinner lady is!
 
I was showering at the grove after using their gym, and a young lady came in to collect the used towels. Sadly there were no other services on offer.
