If I left trash outside the door, a note would be a good idea. If housekeeping left trash outside my door and a fellow member choose to leave a note (even a nice note) on my door, or hang the trash on the door handle, I would be irate. Not knowing what member did it, I might see fit to leave "nice" notes on everyones door letting them know I don't leave my trash outside and they should mind their own business. (irony there, btw).
Seems thou doth protest to much....
If one is not an offender, then taking such great offense to the point of being irate over potentially one misplaced note that politely helps solve a problem may indicate a level of guilt or something else...... are you sure you haven't left trash outside your door for others to contend with???????
Tell you what, if you'll leave the dates of your trips and the location and room number, and I happen to be there at the same time I'll avoid leaving a note on your door, or if I'm not there I'll use this forum to and ask all the other posters here that might be going at the same time you are to do the same and not put a note on your door if there happens to be trash outside your door (we could even have someone from this forum check your special door so there are no notes) so that you don't have to get irate and leave notes on everyone else's door......
Or.... how about this, maybe this is better, if I happen to be there the same time as you and I find nice notes on everyone's door including my own that explains how you don't leave trash outside your door, and telling everyone to mind thier own business, I'll know that somone put a note about trash on crisi's door and that it was done in error. Then, I'll go pick up the trash in front of your door and remove the trash left their for you, at least once. However, if everyone starts leaving thier trash at your door because of your "mind your own business note," and there's a huge mound of trashbags each day of your visit, I can't guarantee that I'll be continually removing them on your behalf. Maybe the first couple, but when all those notes generate backlash in your direction, I'll want to get out of the middle of it, my goal is polite reminders for people, not trash wars. Notes can be paid attention to or they can be ignored. Heck, perhaps the person is physically, mentally, socially or characterly challenged that somehow limits thier ability to remove trash bag obstacles from the halls.
By the way, I don't really subscribe to the tying the trashbag to the door part. The most would be a polite note.
I wonder how long it will take you to write all those "mind your own business notes" and tape them up on all the doors..... hmmmmm....
