    Oh I know exactly what caused this.

    The women who hover instead of sitting on the toilet, and leave their pee all over the seat because they are absolutely without empathy for anyone else on the face of the earth. If you are so OCD you cannot touch the seat, for fuck’s sake at least kick it up out of the way with your foot.

    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.

    In middle school we had a kid that routinely smeared shit over the entirety of the stall he used; i totally understand them for putting up that sign

      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.

    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

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

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

    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.

    Ever been on a road trip?

    In my mind, I think it starts with one rogue fleck or dribble, causing the next person to avoid and hover slightly, which produces lower accuracy yet, causing the next person to hover even further, which keeps compounding until you eventually get the shitter who actually purchased and ate one of the rotating bubbling skin hot dogs at a previous gas station, and then you get what you’re seeing here.
