Shared whiteboard markers as synedoche for what happens when people don't take care of a shared common resource.
(No, I don't know why people don't throw out the markers that don't write, but they don't.)
I don't think it's inevitable, but I also have no idea what is going on in people's heads when they put the non-writing markers back on the whiteboard tray.
@yvonnezlam … because if they they put the non-writing implement in the bin, they’d have to find it’s replacement?
@dahukanna I am Team "I'd rather be able to tell at a glance that there are no whiteboard markers than find out the hard way that while there appear to be whiteboard markers, none of them write."
@c0dec0dec0de @yvonnezlam me three and comes right back, full circle to the never ending story of “housework”.
