Do Not Flush
Some public restrooms have signs asking people not to flush anything down the toilet due to plumbing issues. It’s quite common, actually, so you’ve probably seen a couple of these signs before. Usually, they’re pretty similar to the sign in the photo below, asking not to flush anything other than bathroom tissues.
Of course, we all know what they mean by that, but some people – like the person who left this comment – might take this sign too literally. When it comes to signs, it’s important to state exactly what’s allowed and what isn’t allowed and to be as precise as you can. Otherwise, people might take the signs too literally.
