I love it when people take the time to add some creativity and humor to life's more routine tasks—especially if the humor wasn't intentional.

This post is purely for fun: pictures of signs I've seen in restrooms that made me laugh (or even just smile).

 

Signs in the restroom at the Marietta Museum of History

The Marietta Museum of History (Marietta, GA) had some interesting signs in the ladies' room.

 

Signs in the restroom at Sun Trust Park in Atlanta

A collection of signs from the restroom at Sun Trust Park in Atlanta. Obviously, the Atlanta Braves have a promotional deal going with American Standard. Even so, the facts are interesting

 

Wash your hands and say your prayers because Jesus and germs are everywhere!

In a restroom at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, Orlando

 

Be the change

This one came through my Facebook feed and was too good not to add to this post.

 

Taking anything (even toiled paper) without asking is stealing

This sign is in the restroom at South Lake Presbyterian Church in Clermont, FL.

 

You look gorgeous - now wash your hands

Years ago, the old Townhouse Restaurant in Oviedo, FL had a cute sign that said something like, “Make your mother happy — wash your hands.” It disappeared; I think someone stole it. This sign is in the ladies' restroom in the new Townhouse Restaurant.

 

At Marco's in Brevard, NC, they use something that looks like a trash can to hold extra rolls of toilet tissue and have to ask people to not use it as a trash can.

If at first you don't succeed, flush, flush, again.

Christian Help is one of our favorite charities. Their mission is to end homelessness by helping people find jobs and become self-sufficient. Their building is old and the plumbing leaves something to be desired.

 

Handicap bathroom located in the surgery center

As a writer, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the grammar and syntax errors in this sign telling patients and visitors at Florida Eye Clinic where the handicapped restroom is.

 

When using soap dispenser, please keep hand under until soap is done coming out so it does not fall all over the floor.

Another medical office literary gem.

 

hot water is very hot

I suppose this is one of those lawsuit-prevention signs.

 

Handwashing instructions in Spanish

The state-required instructions for washing your hands in a Mexican restaurant in Brevard, NC. I didn't see the English version in that restroom.

 

Our septic system is on a strict diet of toilet paper only.

A clever reminder that has probably saved this restaurant some plumbing bills.

 

Please hold down handle until toilet flushes.

A warning of a slight operational delay from someone who is smiling.
