Australian car sticker:

Picture the following, a Japenese ship owned by the Yamashita Line is berthed alongside in Sydney. A British ship of the NZSCo berths nearby, and after some merriment ashore jolly jack thinks it would be a great wheeze to break out some black paint and then lower the jolly boat to alter the "YAMASHITA LINE" writing on the hull of the Japanese ship...

My Grandparents had a little wooden plaque above their small toilet, reading: "Ladies, Please remain seated during the whole performance. Gentleman, Please stand a little closer, it may be shorter than you think!"

 

At my wife's grandparent's there is a cross stitch in the bathroom that says the following:

 

Lower the seat,

Ladies Present

A wet behind

Is most unpleasant

Kings Cross after the new concourse opened (if the window has moved, how come I took a pic of it in the old position?)

There are some at my place of work unwilling/unable to use urinals. Raise the seat you gotta be joking :triniti:

And their aim is useless as well :no:

Something to do with "low rise" trousers I assume, where the flies are too low to be of any use!

Nothing Australian about that sticker, its an American one. Usually seen with a phone number or web address.

I'm sure is universal. My (somewhat hasty) photo was snapped in Winchelsea, Australia.

On the reception desk of a hotel in Bellingham, Washington State:

 

post-1771-0-31924700-1353121013.jpg

 

It's explained by this view of the back of the hotel:

and while the passing of an Amtrak train may be 'brief', a 100+ car BNSF coal train with 3 General Electric C44-9Ws on the front and 2 pushing takes a bit more time. (It sounded lovely!)

Which should by logic be for the use of only one sex. Interestingly "Bisex Toilets" might have altogether the wrong sound to it ;)

 

I suppose that a 'disabled toilet' would have had the seat removed and be without its flushing handle! :mosking:
