Saving some lame-ass from themselves - Bilge

Background story aside, at work we had a wild skunk trapped in a bathroom. To protect everyone, in case we stepped away for a second, the door was taped across with yellow "caution" tapes, blocked with a chair, and a day-glo orange piece of poster paper (36" x 24") read, "SKUNK INSIDE! DO NOT ENTER" that was blocking the door opening & wall, so you would have to move the sign to enter. There were other bathrooms close by, as well. There is also no reason that this would be a joke in that workplace. Sure enough, while I dart three feet away around a corner to answer the phone, hoping it's our skunk wrangler, some co-worker with a stink-wish is moving the chair, and unfastening the tape! He didn't even read the huge sign, and said he wanted to wash his hands and thought that the toilet was out of order. This guy is always not reading signs, and nodding as if he's listening when you tell him something, then barely missing dangerous situations, and being given safety lectures by upper management. I'm sure sooner or later we'll be escorting him to the ER. We even try to keep him away from the White-Out! I wonder if cavemen looked out for the others that disregarded dangerous animals, or just let them meet their fate?
