I didn’t think office sign illustration could get more gratuitous than this guy, but then Corinna in Seattle came through with this.

Wow! Is this a special case of the bivariate normal distribution or a Venn diagram of suboptimal piss distribution?

At first glance, it’s difficult to tell if this is a Fecal Mist Illustration or a Breast Exam Guide.

I’m a bit disappointed by this effort, only one exclamation mark is used.

I feel the artist was trying to make a bold statement..conceptualizing. Truly modern and sensitive.

I worry about the pee on the seat. It’s quite concentrated. Makes me wonder if the artist is calling on his own experiences and in that case, they should drink more water.

I find this interesting as it is obviously a women’s bathroom, yet doesn’t the note writer know that women are scientifically proven to be cleaner and more hygienic?

Do people really sit on public toilets? I myself have mastered the fine art of squatting.

Are they suggesting that you’re supposed to leave the pee in the toilet, without flushing?

I don’t get it. Don’t we all know that you shouldn’t put jelly beans on the toilet seat?

Well, it’s obvious why there’s pee on the one seat. The hole is bigger to pee in on the one with no pee on the seat. Jeez. Just use that one.

If the sign maker started wearing Depends, this would cease to be an issue for her.
Plus, when that adult sized diaper is thoroughly soaked and fully loaded, your office chair feels as comfortable as Grandpa’s Lazy Boy.

thanks for the illustration, I have now seen the error of my ways and will no longer pee on the seat. I’ll just pee on the floor.

Oh, I’ll dry it for you…but you’ll need your own microscope to see how freaking clean I leave it.

I don’t think I can take this sign seriously. I mean, everyone knows that cool kids use Photoshop. Hell, I’d even take openCanvas over MS Paint (although somehow I get the feeling this dude isn’t artsy enough for openCanvas :O ). I may have to break my vow of not being a jackass seat-pisser and piss all over this dude’s toilet seats just to spite him.

At first glance, I thought this was an illustration of the eyes of an albino with an unfortunate sty problem.

My pee isn’t so bad-ass that I can’t aim it into the toilet.
I’m not the one leaving yellow easter eggs on the toilet seat.
My theory on how pee gets onto the seat is this:
tinkle fairy.

I share a house with other people. One of them is always pissing all over the toilet seat in the middle of the night. Maybe I should get a sign like this done up and posted? He can’t speak any damn English so the pictures might help.

Once the seat is consistently wiped, can our note about flushing yellow water be far behind?
Oh! Joy!!

I would have understood the diagram much better if there had been ample matter inside the toilet bowl.

Just a note in defense of hoverers–Have you ever noticed that public toilets have an epic flush? And that some of that water splashes on the seat? I’ve been grossed out many times by women, then begrudgingly cleaned the seat, hovered (if there was grossness I cleaned that up too) and the flushed to see water back on the seat. So sometimes you’re blaming people you shouldn’t be blaming. Check it out post flush sometime.

“…release a fine steady stream of urine like a penis does”
Have you ever SEEN a guy pee? You really think they release a steady stream?

In fact there are instances where MS Paint still prevails…
