On a very small (but quite well-known) islsnd, but lots if tourists. Not much going on today, as you can probably tell, so I'm posting this sign in the hotel room bathroom.

Obviously crouching loos are common in some areas, but who really needs to be told not to crouch on a hotel loo seat?

I live in Asia and it is VERY necessary as a lot of Asian countries have squatting toilets and so, when you enter a western-style toilet, often you'll find foot prints on the seat as people have squatted on it! There is a view that sitting on a toilet (the way we do in the west) is unhygenic. Squatting on western-style toilets damages the toilets and they often fall off the wall eventually so the sign is needed to prevent this.

It's necessary.

Oh, jeezus... lots of people. I regularly see pee on toilet sests and around the toilet on the floor. Don't get me started on the horking and spitting, either. 🤢

Very very necessary. It's a common issue.

Lots of people. My university also had signs up requesting that you don’t squat on the toilet seat.

Yes, it is necessary.
