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!

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.
For the seventh picture (http://narley.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/hilarious-bathroom-signs-7.jpg}, Girl’s actually is grammatically suitable. Rather than the contraction of ‘Girl is’ as you interpreted, it is using “Girl’s” as a possessive noun as seen in “The girl’s bathroom.”
A common mistake.
wow, thank you sir )
Re: sign 7
But the apostrophe should come after the “s.” The way it is punctuated right now means that it is only one girl’s bathroom.
