10 hilarious bathroom signs
The bathroom often seems to be a great source of amusement.
Different signs around the world are usually poorly translated, with pretty hilarious results. Other signs are just plain weird, or have been defaced by folks with a healthy combination of humor and boredom. I have collected 10 signs that grabbed my attention.
We can not allow you to use the bathroom!
Can't find anywhere to pee? Blame the terrorists. Photo taken at the American embassy in Tokyo.

Good old Engrish bathroom sign
It has separated! Don't mistake!
Presented without comment...
Really, what could I possibly add to describe this fantastic Chinese bathroom sign?
Even Lego minifigs need to relieve themselves!
From the bathroom door at the Legoland Discovery Center
Wash those genitals!
Sure, it is probably (hopefully) a joke sign, but it made me chuckle.
Please use butt to flush!
Ahhhh.... Nothing says "fun" like some juvenile humor and a black marker....
Girl's what?
Bad grammar is everywhere, but this sign is on the bathroom wall at a school!
Aliens do number 1 and 2, just like us!
This sign is found at the Science Fiction Museum in Seattle, Washington.
It took me some time to figure this one out...
This sign is from a bathroom in Turkey, and no matter how often I look at it, I can't figure out exactly what they are trying to tell me. It appears they are just trying to say that this is the way to the male and female bathrooms.
A lesson in hand washing
No offense, but if you work at this company and need a 6 step lesson on how to wash your hands, you might want to ask yourself whether you made the right career move.

I still remember the sign in my highschool... certain parts were blacked out. So it read: "Please push butt. Rub hands gently under arm."

Every restaurant I've worked at has had a version of that last one in the staff washrooms, part of the health regulations.

Yeah but this sign is actually a picture of a Verizon sign. Notice the little logo in the upper left? I work there and always wondered why we have such a sign. We don't work with the public or serve food and we are grown ups. Now I will have something to chuckle at today!

This made me think of a sign I saw just yesterday. It was for one of the fairly new hand dryers. Above the dryer with an arrow pointing down it said, "Come on! Feel the power!" I did, and it WAS! The touchless lav's rock, even the door opened on its own so I didn't have to touch it. Now if only they could figure out how to do the rest for me...humm.

They have the last version of the sign at some Starbucks too.
Wash for 20 sec. Turn off taps with paper towel.

I love that turn faucet off with a paper towel, especially when they have those blowers and no paper towels anywhere in the joint.

Hmmm. Maybe the girl in #3 is washing that guy's genitals for him. ;-)

is that girl anarexic or something i dont get it why is it bad grammer?

The sign should say GIRLS, not GIRL'S. Girls is plural, Girl's is possessive.

You got the one on the door at the Science Fiction Museum bathroom, but you missed the 200 word explaination (for aliens) posted in front of the Level 1 urinal about how to use the facilities
