Thats a terrible joke. But yeah I wouldn’t read much into it.
this is the distilled essence of the cringiest elements of german humor. nothing to do with racism, this is genuinely just what they find funny. i’ve seen it on at least 10 separate toilets throughout life.
There will be a reason for this.
I have it in my office.
Instructions unclear: cleaned the toilet lid.
Nice picture. Don’t you understand the sense an the humor? Or what is the suggestive undertone reason for your headline?
My sister works in an initial reception center and people have already sat in the sink and washed their bottoms. There are just huge cultural differences. It has nothing to do with racism, you just wonder. Presumably on both sides. I can understand why you might miss a bidet or similar. I would also find that better than toilet paper.
Now they should just make obious, which one is correct, without requiring German knowledge. (I dont think the red and green colors are enough distinction)
Isn’t it missing a panel
Reihenfolge ist klar verkehrt! Order is clearly reversed!
They have these in the bathroom at a trampoline park where I live. It’s just meant to be funny. And remind ppl to clean the toilet when they make a mess
We have same thing in my university btw
Worked in a hotel when I was 16 and I had people shit into the no idea what’s the word in English, where you wash your hands. There’s a reason for everything
I saw it in our Uni as well.
It’s wild to me that people are getting political about it just because it’s in the Ausländerbehörde — as though the employees think ~ foreigners are so dumb they probably scratch their heads with toilet brushes lool ~ Like…no give the employees some credit, they’re not monsters…loosen up
For what it’s worth: Not sure how you took it, but this is (probably) not xenophobic but a very common German joke.
It is very common, even at offices with almost 100% German white male colleagues.
Rumors came around, the women’s restrooms have these signs as well (cannot confirm).
There are toilet signs with similar humor in Japan. It’s great
Could someone share a clean version of that? (like in pdf?)
There has to be one since I saw it in many places.
It‘s important to twerk when cleaning skid marks
But why is it funny. I don’t get it. Is it something to do with an evolution of the poo shelf.
I’m sure that Freud, and his contemporaries would have something to say about it.
If thats not r/funnysigns what is!?
I have the exact same sign in my workplace which isn’t even in Germany (and where almost none of the cleaners or workers are Swiss).
It might be cringy but some people really need reminder. The state that I’ve seen the toilet in at my old work place was…. Bad. Very bad. Shocking. Like who the fuck does this and not feel embarrassed at all.
