I often talk about how frustrating it must be for those at the sharp end of our industry, who've worked hard to clean an area, find that often before they've even finished cleaning, a member of the public will have carelessly - or perhaps deliberately - wrecked it, say by spilling food or drink, littering, not bothering to flush the toilet and/or leaving the toilet cubicle strewn with toilet tissue and the toilet itself smeared with excrement and urine on the seat.

It really saddens me that people can't have more respect for their fellow human beings - not just the cleaners themselves, but also those who have to suffer the mess and potential germs before everything can be put right again.

I couldn't help chuckling though at this example of someone in our industry having their hard work destroyed - not wantonly in this case just for the hell of it, but because what had been done didn't suit one or more of the building's users. I wonder how often members of the British Pest Control Association and their ilk, are called back to a job because the anti-bird spikes they've fitted haven't lasted as long as expected...

I know crows are clever creatures and good at problem solving, but I had no idea that they could work out something like this:
