Literal Interpretation

Noticed in a coffee shop toilet in Edinburgh

Customers are asked to put nothing other than toilet paper in the toilet.

What are you meant to do?

4 lacklustre pieces of inspiration on “Literal Interpretation”

    Poo on the floor, in a large coffee mug, in the coffee beans container or perhaps in the cake display stand, until the idiots that placed the sign there realise the error of their ways.

    Fools! I can’t abide improperly thought through signs.

    I recently cursed at a sign in a fairground that incited people to pedophilia by stating ‘Adults may ride with small children’! Idiots.

    Firstly, I’m intrigued the sign also stated “What am I meant to do?”.
    I have noticed similar (slightly better written) signs in many places and thought the same thing, however I suppose telling people where to do their business might be considered a little too much detail, and in theory unnecessary, but nevertheless…
    I’m also upset by ‘A very particular person’’s mis-spelling of paedophile - not that particular obviously!

    Well, that is this site black listed by internet search engines. The first particular person had the good sense to mis spell the word.

    its also limited the google-ads somewhat - there’ll be a gaping hole in yer profits from 24th aug!

Provide common sense...
