This was a “you only had one job” moment that turned into a spark of genius. Jeremy, the summer intern, was asked to go out and buy a bathroom sign. When they asked him to buy one bathroom sign, that is precisely what he did.
He purchased a single sign. Instead of getting mad at the intern, they got creative. The manager had the brilliant idea of cutting up the sign where it mattered and making two different signs. Voilà! A stroke of genius! We just have one problem, we think that assuming that only women wear heels and only men smoke pipes is super old-fashioned.
The Wrong Gender
At first glance, there's nothing wrong with this design. It's just a beautiful mural of a man and a woman hiking, drawn on the doors to the bathroom stalls.
The problem is that usually, the bathroom with the woman on them is, well, the women's bathroom. But, alas, the mural wasn't thought through, and the opposite gender is drawn on each one of the stalls. We bet that has led to some awkward mistakes.
Baby Changing Room
Finally! A sign we can very easily read! This bathroom stall is for everyone, men, women, disabled, and women who need to remove their babies' heads. Or maybe, they just need to put it back on? Either way works.
Oh wait, we feel so foolish for not understanding it's a baby changing room. Is that where you can put one baby and get another one instead?
Where's My Body?
Instead of the conventional "women" and "men" signs, this person decided they can use their somewhat questionable drawing skills in order to try and convey the message.
The result? The men's bathroom seems fine-ish, but the woman here completely lost her body, which is both uncomfortable and will make it very hard for her to actually use the bathroom. Maybe they are just trying to be extra inclusive? One bathroom is for people with bodies and the other one is for floating heads?
Been There, Thai'd That
Apparently, in Thailand, men don't have arms and thrust their body's forward when they need to pee, and women seem to be...frightened?
We're trying to wrap our heads around what exactly is going on here, but it seems to us that this sign was chosen for a specific reason, and we want to understand what it is!
