Ambiguity is inevitable. So when people run into it in everyday life, they often rely on their own assumptions, prior experience, or personal biases to fill in the gaps.
Found an anonymous "Thank You" note on the fridge? It's probably your partner expressing gratitude for the lunch you prepped them and not the ghost living under the bed. Noticed an abandoned umbrella in the park? Probably some absent-minded romantic left it there, and not Mary Poppins.
But too few cues can lead to confusion, a notion that the Facebook group 'Please, may I have a Crumb of Context?' successfully illustrates again and again, as its members share random pictures that raise more questions than they provide answers.

I’m guessing Wales is being plagued by feral teenagers egging houses.
I Really don't want Any context for this and I wish eye bleach for the staff who had to deal with 😞 But it riles me that the selfish actions of one affect all the rest of us. Certain medical conditions require quick access to loos and can prevent people like myself from being able to go to that location if no other loos are available 😔
In the US it is against the ADA to not have access to a restroom in a public business.

That happened to our bathroom at my last restaurant job. Someone ripped the paper towel dispenser off the wall, pooped in and around the sink, dumped the garbage can everywhere, and smeared hand soap all over the mirrors. I was like…..why tho? Some people really do get joy from making other people’s lives worse, I’m so glad I’m not one of those people.

I used to work for a fast food restaurant attached to a gas station that also had some amenities for long haul truckers (i.e. A couple showers, room to sit and eat or relax in with a TV) and there were a few incidents of people passing out in the bathrooms after overdosing on street drugs and definitely had teens using it to smoke marijuana. For a time only the truck drivers or restaurant employees were allowed use of the facilities.
why does a shop have bathrooms? who needs a bath while they're shopping? do they mean toilets?
Actually retailers of a certain size are mandated to the United States to have so many bathrooms. I mean, what do they want people to do, go into one of those coat carousels, and lay s**t on the carpet? I mean, when you gotta go, you gotta go!
Retail worker here. Someone smoked drugs in the bathroom and smeared feces all over the place. The bathroom was out of commission for a week.
We have kinda done the same thing at work, at least for the next week or so. We are all tired of clogged toilets.
Well, even without knowing what happened, I feel bad for whoever was working last night/this morning and had to clean the bathrooms.
Some people with mental illness have to paint the bathroom with their s**t.
It only takes 1 person to ruin it for everybody so be that guy! 😆 🤣 I'm just kidding.
I've worked for a public library before and restrooms were temporarily closed long enough for the facilities folks to patch up some vagrant-made glory holes in the men's room stalls. Ominous what could've prompted a *permanent* closure. 😮
"The bathrooms never call, never write, and they just sit back there in the dark, leaking slightly! We're DONE!"
I see these and I often think couldn't somebody with better handwriting and spatial awareness have written this?
Sounds like something someone with a truck full of overnight baguettes would say.
would be interesting if there was also a trampoline on the ceiling
Per Ozzy Osbourne, I thought it was "You gotta hear this f****** guy!" He was referring to a 9 y.o. Japanese kid play the guitar on Crazy Train.

When I was around 11 years old, me and my babysitter were hanging out in the playroom. She went to the bathroom, and I got bored so I went downstairs to check out the fridge. I heard her come out of the bathroom, and she started screaming my name. After the 3rd time, she stopped. I thought she figured out that I was downstairs. After a few minutes, I saw her coming down the stairs. As she looked at me, she froze and just stared at me. I asked her what's wrong, and she said she just saw me in the playroom before she went downstairs. She was really freaked out about it, and I don't know--I used to not believe in these things so I just laughed at her. The second time it happened, I was probably 16. I was hanging out at my brother's room cause it's the room with the fastest internet. And then I heard my 6-year old brother (I have 2 brothers) calling me and looking around for me, I didn't a
Had a really bad day today. This gave me a big belly laugh that I truly needed.
I'm sorry to hear that. But I'm glad you found some laughter. Sometimes, a big chuckle can lift you out of the deepest hole.
