Showing people proper toilet etiquette. Steve and I both think it’s hilarious they need to tell people not to put their feet on the seat and squat (hence the picture). But after thinking about it for a bit, I was imagining some poor innocent person from some tiny village coming to Medan for the first time and going to the mall and encountering a toilet for the first time. Up until then they would have just had squatties (a toilet shaped … hole-thing that sits about 6 inches off the bathroom floor and just goes down to where ever that sort of thing goes down to). And so they would be used to squatting with their feet on the edges of the squatty. And then here they are in this fancy mall and they see a toilet! And I can only imagine that they would stare at it for a second, trying to factor it in with all the information about toilets they’ve learned so far in their lives, and they would probably be wondering what idiot would make you have to climb up so high just to squat? And then they would see the “No Squatting!” sign, and I bet most of them silently curse under their breath in frustration.
Also, the signs don’t work, because I almost always see shoe prints on the toilet seats anyways.
