Pegawai lapangan terbang itu berkata, bagi mendisiplinkan pengguna tandas dan mengelak air kencing tidak terkena lantai tandas, mereka melekatkan gambar lalat pada mangkuk khas untuk membuang air kecil. “Pengguna biasanya akan memberi lebih perhatian dan cuba mensasarkan lalat itu. Ia dapat mengelak 80 peratus daripada air kecil terkena lantai selain dapat menjimatkan kos mencuci tandas,†kata pegawai itu. – Agensi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H Azmal 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) Sorry Pieter! Here's on-the-fly translation from me, so pardon the inaccuracies. AMSTERDAM: Schiphol Airport authority is reported to be using flies as the best and cheapest way to ensure the cleanliness of its toilets. An airport official said, to discipline toilet users and avoid urine from hitting and smearing the floor, the airport authority has stuck pictures of flies in the urinal bowls in the toilets. "Users would give more attention and try to target that fly. It would prevent 80 percent of the urine from hitting the toilet floor and giving us great savings on cost of toilet maintenance," he added.

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 20, 2005 Can confirm this About 4-5 times a day, during work-hours, I usually wetten the fly: it really works as you really tend to "wipe it off" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roszaimy 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2005 Yes, I've read about the creative measures taken for the toilets at AMS before. For KLIA, I'd put up a sign near the bowl: "Please stand closer. Long Johnny is not as long as you think" Please pay me royalties Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
