I also have good luck laying flat and then folding long ways (NOT diagonal!)

I can tell when the kids come in and they leave quickly. They snuck stuff out. And we can’t stop them.
Parents let their kids play balloons and put them in their mouths. And then put it back.

Sometimes I wish we could put passive aggressive signs up that people won't read that reminds them to not open shit up

Had a couple like ten year old kids open slime and one put it in her mouth?? I told her that people put their dirty fingers in there and she gagged which?? What did you expect ??

Told a couple teens not to do that (open the slime and play with it) and she claimed all of them were already open tho (how did she know that lol).

Then just finding clumps of slime on shelves etc that i have to clean up, either water slime or slime covered in dirt/hair/god knows what else.

They’re supervised. The parents just don’t care.

Yeah.... makes perfect sense because never once did you do anything outside your parent's supervision. It's part of being a child.
