Yes, it is in the United States. In the 'restroom' of the customer services department at a large restaurant chain! I suppose it is a good thing that whoever decided the sign needed to be posted didn't also need to warn people not to use the toilets/urinals for handwashing, but seriously - who on earth in such an environment needs to be told not to drink the toilet water?!!!!
So funny! And not even a handwritten sign either...which leads me to think there are possibly hundreds of restrooms dotted around the US with similar signs. I for one am going to keep my eyes peeled.
ReplyDeleteIn case of a drought, I suppose!
ReplyDeletethat is quite disturbing!
ReplyDeleteHilarious......I wonder if there are some blokes who quench their thirst with the urinal water? I wouldn't put it past some people....
ReplyDeleteWell, this is a very litigious country where people sue after doing the stupidest things. Can't you just see someone drinking from a loo, getting food (?) poisoning and then trying to sue the store?
ReplyDeleteLMAO! Have never seen one of those!
ReplyDeleteProbably a legal requirement, mandated by federal or local statute. Which would account for the rather official looking sign.
ReplyDeleteNot that I trust restaurant workers not to use that water.
What on earth? As if?
ReplyDeleteApparently the signs appeared after 'an incident' over the weekend! Yes, I actually know someone who works there - this isn't an internet legend kind of photo! I haven't heard any explanation of what the 'incident' was though!
ReplyDeleteTrue story from so long ago it must rank as history !!
ReplyDeleteElderly neighbour on allotment,speaking of his long deceased mother..
" I remember when she went over to Liverpool to visit the latest new department store. She came back and told us of the wonderful row of toilets saying....and when you pull a little handle, clean fresh water come out so you can wash your hands and face."
I always wonder what's changed since I've been away, but this takes the cake!
ReplyDeleteI can't say that it makes me feel proud to be an American if we have to be told not to drink out of the toilet or a urinal!
