Apparently this is necessary. I don't know what kind of incidences the communications building has had but I guess something must have called for the mounting of this sign. The message is clear... sit on the toilet. I don't want to get too personal here (I don't want to know nor care what you with a toilet) but I would not sit on a public toilet either. It's not very sanitary if everyone sits down on it and leaves their germs there. And what's so wrong with hovering above the seat? At the risk of being gross (it's really hard not to be with this kind of topic.. sorry), I know it's disgusting when you find the seat sprinkled with pee but at least I am not getting whatever diseases other people have left there.
Also, do they really think we squat on top of the toilet bowl? This is honestly one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life - not just around Penn State. (I'm literally laughing right now.)
I love what you find in toilets, whether it's hearts carved in the stall wall or obscenities written in sharpie. I have found some pretty hilarious things in stalls across the world and I wish I had always taken a picture of them. That would have been a fun blog: "Stalls Across the Globe". Since I am already on the topic of various toilets around the world, let me tell you about the world's worst toilet. I was on a road trip in China and we stopped for lunch in a small town.When I asked where the bathroom was, the waitress pointed outside. So I went out the door she had pointed to and landed right in front of a small hut on stilts. With a huge pile of human excrements under it. Needless to say, it was disgusting, but it definitely makes a good story.
I went on a trip to the Dominican Republic a few years ago, and we were visiting the poorer parts of the country, and I had a bathroom experience similar to the one you had in China. It's a total culture shock and really gross.
ReplyDeleteI'm rather curious as to why the Communications building felt it necessary to tell us how to use toilets... and I've never heard of someone using a toilet as shown in the third picture...
ReplyDeleteThat sign is hilarious. I don't understand how whoever posted it thinks that people actually do things like that over the toilet. It definitely is an insult to anyone's intelligence that sees it.
