Why is it that people feel the need to post signs in restrooms telling you how to use the bathroom? We spotted so many — here are some of my favorites.
1. Rest area in Oklahoma:

2. Passive-aggressive note in a coffee shop in northern Wisconsin:
![Thank you sincerely...for your purchase! Thank you sincerely...for your purchase!](https://i0.wp.com/drivinginertia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/rural-northern-wisconsin-Small.jpg?resize=384%2C512&ssl=1)
3. Campground in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado:

4. Public toilet in downtown Taos, New Mexico:

Wait — nothing else? Not even…poo?
5. Olympic National Park Hoh Rainforest visitor’s center, Washington:
![Don't put your boots in the toilet to clean them! Silly! Don't put your boots in the toilet to clean them! Silly!](https://i0.wp.com/drivinginertia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/olympic-hoh-rainforest-Small.jpg?resize=620%2C412&ssl=1)
6. Can’t remember where this is:

9. Our old storage unit, Chicago:
![Yes, people did live in the storage units. Yes, people did live in the storage units.](https://i0.wp.com/drivinginertia.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/storage-closet-chicago-Small.jpg?resize=384%2C512&ssl=1)
These posters raise so many questions…like, “what is a minimal amount of toilet paper?” “What happens when you hurt the feelings of a sensitive toilet?” and “Where am I supposed to put my poo???”
Just remember…the next time you hear someone taking a photo in the stall next to you, assume they’re taking a pic of the sign.
