Strange rules
 

Okay, so I was looking through photos from many years ago and I came across this photo I took on a train in Amsterdam. I took it because the graphics made me laugh. It comes across as "You cannot smoke, use your phone or do star jumps, but you CAN pick your nose".:hehe:

Lol..I think the "pick your nose" sign is a "hush don't be loud or we'll kick your butt sign"

Since you reminded me - I liked this sign from a taxi

^ *like*

Wow, that must have been a problem for them to have to put the sign there.

Don't know if this is strange to anyone else!

^ Haha.

Hahaha love these :)

Haha these are great

Brilliant!

I came across this near my flat. It isn't a strange rule, just common sense, but it did make me laugh.

I stayed at a uni close to where I live last year for a summer school and there were signs in the girls toilets telling you how to use the loo! There was a story in the news about it because they were apparently designed to help foreign students learn "Western bathroom customs" haha.



This one was my favourite - sitting is compulsory if you're a lady!

I really like this one - it's also from Amsterdam. It made me smile ...

Aimee, that made me laugh.

Leni, I like that. I love Amsterdam!

Came across this in a store in my area a few months ago...

But why? Surely that is extremely sexist...

^Not sexist at all, practical.

Men have a penis which they can aim (albeit often poorly as they still miss!). Women do not, ergo sitting means it goes in the place it's supposed to whereas standing it would go everywhere.

Unless you have a she-wee... then you can stand!

I presume because it was in the ladies' toilet, they said ladies. If I was having a nice wee and saw a sign saying "ladies and gentleman", I'd be like "o_O there are gentleman in this lavatorial facility??"

And I don't think it's to be taken literally, I think they've worded it that way, just to make it a bit funny. I'm sure a lady with exceptional aim would indeed be permitted to stand/crouch/jig whilst weeing, it's just making the point that it's NONE of the fun when there is wee everywhere. As enjoyable as wee is.

This sign is upsetting as it is poorly laid out and has basically no balance. The general idea on the other hand is funny- I love funny signs.... especially in the loo when one might get bored.....

YES. There should be more amusing signs in lavatories to ease the burden of a boring wee!

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be sexist! It just said 'ladies' across the top because it was in the ladies loos.

IKR.....
You didn't make the sign, so even if it was sexist its not your fault!! However I am not thinking that it is in any way sexist... :p I feel you should make an edited version though so that its clearer :p

Haha, I would but I didn't end up going to that uni so would look a bit weird creeping around their toilets! :tongue2:

haha, that's hilarious!

Haha love these
