Toilet Signs Across the World

Featured — May 19, 2008 at 8:58

Male and females are represented differently all across the world. One of the proofs for this statement is the diverse representations of toilet signs in different corners of the globe. While some tried to make the signs as obvious as they can get, others went out of their way to be creative. Here are some of the wackiest, funniest or oddest men and women toilet signs.

    I am not sure that I would know which one to go into for some of those. I would just make my best guess. like wtf is damen and herran.

  2. Dan W.2008-05-19 18:09:23

    Glad to see you included the signs from the Fantasy and Science Fiction museum in Seattle!

  3. Stem2008-05-19 18:48:31

    all of these are offensive. Gender division is arbitrary and stems from capitalism just like racism.

  4. Mike2008-05-19 18:54:47

    Stem - stfu you dumb twit. Cool collection - I like the one with the barbies in the holes. Nicely done.

  5. Morpheus2008-05-19 19:49:31

    ROX!!! A Mari se amarrou!!! hehehe

  6. FailBot2008-05-19 19:52:44

    Joe Taylor you're fired. That's women and men in German. The one with the barbie dolls is at an excellent cocktail bar in Germany as well. Lovely place.

  7. dumbfounder2008-05-19 19:53:49

    @Stem boys have a penis, girls have a vagina.

  8. veep2008-05-19 19:56:33

    damen = woman herren = man it's german.

  9. Andrew2008-05-19 20:18:15

    You've wasted your life...

  10. Jim (Get Gas for Free) Rogers2008-05-19 20:35:08

    Some of these signs you really have to think "Which one is the male and which is female.." - I am sure people get it messed up all the time.

  11. Zooph2008-05-19 20:40:06

    Just pee on the ground if you're that confused...

  12. handicrapped2008-05-20 00:24:59

    The sign showing a man peeking over the stall to watch the woman is exactly why unisex bathrooms should never come to fruition. That is just asking for trouble (and lawsuits).

  13. Steinschmetzer2008-05-20 02:20:14

    Damen is Women and Herren is Gentlemen. Its german.

  14. Steinschmetzer2008-05-20 02:20:58

    well okay next time i read the other posts, too ;)

  15. Bjarni2008-05-20 21:13:09

    Veep, you're wrong, that's either Danish, Swedish or Norwegian.

  16. pizzaface2008-05-20 23:04:40

    Where is the pizza one from?

  17. Fubiz2008-05-21 19:29:26

  20. kukubird2008-06-15 01:37:23

    The korean "peeping tom" is the funniest!

  21. Snurre2008-06-16 11:20:17

    @dumbfounder I think what he means is that having separate toilets for men and women is a kind of gender apartheid system which he doesn't care for, no matter how the signs are designed to look. @Bjarni No you're wrong. In Swedish it is "damer" and "herrar" and in Danish and Norwegian it's "damer" and "herrer".

  22. A Collector of Bathroom Stories2008-06-17 03:53:11

    I am so glad to see that someone out there is paying attention to the Bathrooms, and not just running in and out. The artwork is as good sometimes as the things going on in them. Its like the forgotten room. Would it be so terrible if a person actually got the signs confused and ended up in the room. Worst thing that could happen is you might see something interesting. Maybe even do something interesting. Would save you some money on a drink. The person would be half naked all ready.

  23. Daniella2008-06-22 02:38:50

    Very, very cool! Very interessant!

    Damen and Herren is NOT danish, swedish or norwegian. I know that best, because i speak german, english and danish. Damen and herren is GERMAN, on danish we say ; damer and herrer! I´m half danish, half swedish, so you have to believe what i say!

  31. Marcel2009-04-15 21:51:50

    I think most of them are pretty obvious, just use your head. Very creative though

    is the "football/shopping" one a reference to trainspotting? if so, it's brilliant.

  37. дeткa2009-10-18 11:46:54

    Текст на самом деле понравился, особенно здесь последний абзац хорош :)
