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!
Old Fashioned
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.
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?
Who We Truly Are
These signs really get us, it shows us who we are on the inside - fierce lions and lionesses. We can only imagine these two signs are hanging at a zoo.
One thing we do find funny is that whoever designed these didn't really trust us to understand them. Not only did they put up pictures, they also made sure to include the words "Lion" and "Lioness" and for those of us who are struggling, they also included the regular bathroom symbol next to the words.
A Bathroom From Outer-Space
Or maybe, this bathroom is from the future? One where we all just have three heads? What would a toilet for being with three heads look like? Do they also need three toilets? So many questions and zero answers.
Now, being more serious we appreciate the idea behind this sign - at the end of the day, no matter your gender or how many heads you have, we're all just beings.
