    My friend works at a fast food place. You wouldn’t believe some of the stuff they’ve had to deal with. People are disgusting.

    The problem is the sort of person this applies to will respond:

    “That sign won’t stop me because I can’t read!”

    Having seen the occasional superfunded chain restaurant men’s room, I know for a fact this sign is needed, and yet probably won’t help. I have to imagine the kind of person who will do that to a restroom, and leave it that way, isn’t going to see this sign and say “OOOOOH that makes sense. I was totally gonna do that until I saw this sign.”

    Are you aware of the legendary Ryan’s Steakhouse story?

    Hell, that thing might be an urban legend, but it’s supremely well written and if I was in graphic design, that story alone would probably lead me to thinking that selling signs like this would be a good idea.

    If you haven’t heard it, a web search for “The Steakhouse incident” (with quotes) or “macaroni beef toilet story” (no quotes) will probably turn up yet another re-hosting of it.

    For the lazy, here’s one I found just now: http://www.ihos.com/steakhouse.html

    This is great. I literally am taking my morning constitutional at work and took this photo to post here.

      People from my country don’t throw paper in the toilet. It cloggs it up, so instead, the correct is throwing in the trash can. By the way, if this is only common here, then what is the trash can for?

    Why did they feel the need to depict a prolapsed butthole 🤢

    Having worked as a dishwasher in a chain restaurant, whose job it was to clean the bathrooms in the middle of the day after a busload of septuagenarians have done pretty much this: Yes, yes we absolutely need this sign.

    I was in a large open plan office a decade ago with a density clearly higher than the 3 cubicles in the toilet facilities could handle. Somebody with little regard for basic human decency, murdered the shit fairy and their family in two of the 3 cubicles. Words cannot describe the scene that greeted a prospective cubicle user. Imagine 300kg black forest gateaux with pieces of corn distributed throughout being put through a wood chipper. It was quite frankly both terrifyingly grotesque and strangely skillful. I called property services who to their credit promptly sent up somebody to investigate. I saw them enter, loudly say “Fuck their mother in the arse!” and leave dry heaving into their cleaning cart. Photos were taken and emailed around to all male employees stating that the “…rancid fecal matter will be genetically tested to determine age, race and dietary preference of the individual involved!!!” Total bullshit of course, funny as hell though. We had our suspects but nobody fess’d up. I faked having a colostomy bag after that just so I could use the ambulant toilets. But that’s a story for another time.

    I’ve never seen the aftermath of a shotgun spray, but I have seen a giant oatmeal loaf on the seat before. It’s part of why my old job stopped letting truck drivers use our bathrooms.
