I was wondering today...

Is Belgium really the only country in the world where employees are confronted with ridiculous 'toiletiquette' announcements in the rest rooms?

Please let me (mpo at outerthought dot org) know if other countries have the same kind of folklorish custom, and please make sure it cannot be traced to an over-active former Belgian colleague feeling the need to educate his fellow humans.

If yes, we should get to the bottom of this. Why do we think people are not educated enough already by mom and dad to behave in public rest rooms?

If not, I am deprived from the comforting feeling that it is only this small country doing this...

*update *: Google (via Tom) makes me see the whole world is tied up in this: 25700 hits!!!
There is however one that should get a boost in his Google ranking: In fact *that* is the kind of stuff I would appreciate reading in a rest-room :-)

Ok, the new question then: who has already seen this kind of patronizing publications in the corporate context, i.e. with company logo and all?
