Transcription

Please do not put tea bags, nappies or other sanitary disposables down the toilet. Please use the bin provided.

Commentary

The inclusion of tea bags is admirable. It expands the category from the expected bathroom contraband to a more complete portrait of the public imagination. One leaves with the sense that this instruction was earned.
