Why did they feel the need to depict a prolapsed butthole 🤢
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
Now I want some big fat yeast rolls. Nobody else does them quite right.
Yep, that’s my takeaway from that.
Oh, also the JATO Guy story.
I haven’t seen this since the late 90s / early 00s!!! Thanks for this!
I was laughing so hard reading this that I had to read it to my wife and we both have been laughing historically at it
Manager: This looks like a job for THE HOSE
Lmao
Well I guess reading that is now a permanent memory for me.
Truly a shitpost.
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!”
“I’m picto dyslexic.”
Retail. The horror stories my better half tells will make your skin crawl.
This is my only memory of South Park since I was a kid.
I wish I didn’t remember it as well as I do.
Jesus that’s realistic
It’s the DivX logo in the corner that gets me.
I had to double check which year it’s today.
The episode’s from 2006, so it makes sense.
That would make this an ~18 year old artifact.
In my experience, the “NO” figure should be bent over a bit more in order to project onto the wall behind the toilet as well as the ceiling above. No better memory of working retail than going up to my boss and explaining why I needed to know where the spare ceiling tiles were.
Reminder to anyone still working retail: if your job description isn’t “janitor”, you don’t need to clean that up. It’s a biohazard and they can pay more expensive people with better equipment to do it.
Reminder to you that bosses can and will ask you to do things that are not your job. And since you need money for rent and food, you will have to do it. Otherwise, they will probably get rid of you, and will find a plausible legal reason.
No, you will not “have to do it”. Either they can afford to pay a qualified person to do it, or they can’t. If they can’t afford a more expensive person, they definitely can’t afford to fire you. You are the cheap one.
Think about it: if they put themselves in this situation, they are going to end up cleaning it themselves. “Need money for rent and food”? If you have a crappy minimum wage job, you have the power. Literally no one above you wants to do your work. You can definitely tell them “no”. Do you think there’s some shortage of crappy minimum wage jobs?
I saw this in a Japanese convenience store. Makes you wonder.
In some countries the toilets are sort of embedded in the floor and you squat over them. There’s some evidence that this is a healthier way to poop. But if you’ve only ever squatted in your life a toilet might be as confusing as the three shells.
You’ve never worked retail, have you?
Men’s room
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.
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.”
This never gets old.
You have never cleaned bathrooms if you wonder about the source of this sign.
I worked at a grocery store growing up. One time I had to throw away my shoes when I got home.
I cleaned them for 2 years in the mids 80s. (Restaurant across from a mall in a big city) I never saw shit outside of the bowl.
Women’s was always way better worse than the men’s.
Women’s was always way better worse than the men’s.
Is it because they hover instead of sitting or is it because every trip is a sit down trip?
Sorry. Typo. Women’s was worse than men’s.
As a kid I had no clue. As an adult still have no clue.
You have never worked in a public building if you wonder about the source of this sign.
