    hmmm… I think you are right….Isn’t it amazing what people do to make us have to revert to signs?

      I know. I think they probably left a few activities off it though so maybe those will still be occurring…..Like filling up water bottles or maybe hair washing…..

    Ha! It’s good to know I’m not the only one who takes pictures of strange bathroom signs and blogs about them. Here’s a picture of one I found…

    We have these types of ‘incidents’ at our library, too, but we try to limit the number of signs we post because it seems like nobody reads them.

      I think that after awhile too many signs just get ignored. Kind of like in church kitchens—everyone has their hot spot and need to post a sign about it and then the whole place is wallpapered in signs!!!

    I suspect perhaps homeless people have used it for those purposes before.

      I imagine that was the prompting for it but it has appeared recently so I wonder….what triggered it?

    I’ve seen signs that could more easily have said what you CAN do..

    These kinds of signs are priceless–and, in fact, worth a million words! Sad to see a sign like this obviously directed at the homeless. There’s a huge subtext associated with this one!

    The sign is interesting and I am sure there is an interesting story that caused someone to put up such a sign.

    Cool sign 🙂
    but it won’t work here…some public restrooms are used for bathing.

      See!!! It just goes to show that behaviors in one culture may not be the same in others and to your culture this sign would not make any sense and be offensive!!! Thanks for commenting!

        The sign works in malls but not on the street…we Indonesian still love traveling by road and when we are on the road, we need restroom to bath 🙂

    I imagine people who have nowhere else, or the means to go elsewhere do what they can in a public building, such as the library. Kind of sad to think about the reason for the sign.
