It still amazes me the level of intelligence displayed by some people. I’ve seen some weird attempts at problem solving recently, but the example I spotted in the toilet at work is just priceless.

The soap dispenser in the toilets is one of those ones that holds 2 packets of hand soap and has a slide to chose which pack is being used. Recently I’ve noticed that instead of refilling the unit with the correct soap refills they have put 1 big bag of soap. Sometimes this is fine, however at the moment the soap simply isnt dispensing properly. You have to pump the handle about 20-30 times before it starts to dribble out. If you want a decent amount of soap, just keep pumping. Problem is, once it is dribbling out it keeps dribbling out for ages. This creates a puddle of soap on top of the counter, and it appears that this is staining the counter.

Personally, if I was faced with this problem, I would look at the dispensor and attempt to re-insert the soap bag. Whoever dealt with this problem is obviously not a problem solver. Their answer, a small plastic container to collect the soap as it dribbles out.
