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…..
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!!!
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!

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!
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.

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

I love finding signs like this that are so unexpected.
Obviously there was a reason they posted it…..but it was a great photo op for me!!! Have a great day!
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…

Oh my goodness—I just looked at it….still laughing! Thanks!
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 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?
For every NO sign there has been an event of one type or another..Guaranteed. lol
I’ve seen signs that could more easily have said what you CAN do..
Yep! I agree!
bet there’s some interesting security camera footage behind that sign! LOL
my wordless and never really wordless. that’s too much pressure 🙂
Wordless is too much pressure. We are bloggers after all! 🙂

You are so right about this one!
Notice how the sign is laminated… Good pic!
They spared no expense….definitely wanted to make their point loud and clear!!!
Interesting. I sure would like to know the story behind this sign. You always have the most interesting WW posts. 🙂
But have you noticed they usually are not wordless??? 🙂
The sign is interesting and I am sure there is an interesting story that caused someone to put up such a sign.
I am sure there are several stories!!!! I would imagine homeless were cleaning up or something…who knows?
Cool sign 🙂
but it won’t work here…some public restrooms are used for bathing.

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 🙂
Absolutely makes sense to me!!!! Thanks for educating me!!! Thanks again!

Now where am I supposed to shave!
Try the courthouse—maybe they don’t have signs!
It’s too bad there is a need for such a sign. Thanks Beth Ann
I know! Made me a little sad when I saw it.
This is hilarious!
I think they must have had to crack down on some behaviors….
