That’s…actually a totally reasonable request
What’s frightening, of course, is that these things needed to be stated in the first place.
(Thanks to Jill in Des Moines, James in the U.K., and Heather and Eric in New York for submitting…and the kid from The Squid and the Whale for the, uh, inspiration.)

Those bodily fluids would be even more fucking delicious if I knew whose they were. Or not.

Wow, don’t those get the imagination moving. Kind of like The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.

Wow, really? There are so many different things on the door we must collectively refer to them as just “bodily fluids”? Ew.

What’s even more amazing is that the pee-soaked door knob is in the women’s restroom.

So…one has to wonder how all of these conditions came to be. And, who noticed so often that they had to post a note about it? And lastly where they are posted…common hallways? The second looks like a kitchen door, does this face out to the restaurant patrons, or in to the kitchen?
…Just gives you all kinds of ideas!

…and they all became germophobes and lived happily ever after, as long as they had adequate supplies of sanitizer and protective gloves.
The End.

WRT note #1: a PA attempt to keep others from overlaying their scent markers on the poster’s, thus insuring the latter’s dominance of this particular doorway. Clever!
#3: bodily fluids should instead be collected in buckets and placed BESIDE the fixtures. Duh.

Hahahah, I’ve seen the first one before – it’s on an elevator door at my college.
Yes, I am going to be living in Higginson next year (not by choice but necessity.)

So, smearing bodily fluids is only SOCIALLY unacceptable?

These signs don’t work. When I was a janitor, people used to ask me to put up signs like this but it never made sense. People who smear feces on walls aren’t going to have their actions changed by a sign. “Whoops! Is feces-smearing frowned upon in this society? I had no idea!”

Smearing your bodily fluids on the fixtures is gross.
Everyone knows you must flush, wash your hands, go back and wipe off the handle, wash your hands, wipe off the sink handle/knob, exit the restroom, turn ’round, go back and wash your hands (in case someone else didn’t wash their hands before touching the exit), wipe off the exit door handle…then, and only then leave the restroom.
Is that so hard?

Here is a sign that explains proper toilet use, made with Universal Symbols. I kid you not!

And this is no joke, as I’ve discovered working in a place with a public toilet. It’s just astounding, what people do.

“Please Do Not Vomit On Door” appears to be on a kitchen door.
Yummy, yummy, recycled pies and stew

These signs actually don’t surprise me that much.
Most of us are used to living around civilized people, and don’t even see the sort of people these signs are directed at.
In some of the less fortunate areas of many cities, you will find all sorts of scum who have habits that will make you vomit so quickly you won’t have TIME to get past the door.

They want them to stop urinating on handles only. It is fine anywhere else on the door, just leave the handles alone. Talk about low expectations!

These signs reinforces my aversion for public restrooms.

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids by smearing them on fixtures.

Oh wow. A local one! Edens and Higginson are two dorms at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington.

I think I want a sign like #2 on all the doors in my house. Except I will change the bodily function for every door. Oh, what fun my next fondue party will be.
