In these years, I don't dare to go to the toilet without a little culture, and the signs of the toilet are so strange that I can't distinguish between men's and women's toilets.
On January 3, a sixty-year-old man strayed into the women's toilet in a shopping mall in Guangzhou because he did not understand the English sign, and was subsequently accused of "indecent assault", which sparked heated discussions among many netizens.
It is reported that the toilet logo of this shopping mall is designed with icons, and the old man said: "I am convenient, very urgent, our rural areas are all men left and women right, it is in English, there is no Chinese out, I am ploughing the field, who knows what it is? You should write a man and a woman!"
According to the staff of the marketing department of the mall, the design of the men's toilet logo at that time was pants and bow tie, and the women's toilet was a skirt, and said that they would apologize to the old man and optimize and rectify the logo.
For this incident, some people believe that the toilet signs in the mall are not clear enough, causing the elderly to enter the women's toilet by mistake. Some people also think that the elderly should pay attention to the signs themselves to avoid such embarrassing situations.
First of all, from the perspective of shopping malls, as public places, they have a responsibility to provide clear instructions and signage for customers. In this case, the mall used English signs and icons, which may be difficult for some people who are not familiar with English or do not understand the meaning of the icons.
Secondly, from the old man's point of view, he did not deliberately violate the rules or behave inappropriately. Older people may not understand the meaning of English signs and icons because they are old or have a low level of education.
In addition, this incident has also aroused the attention of netizens to the signs of toilets in public places. Many people say that they have encountered similar situations before, and they can't tell which is the men's toilet and which is the women's toilet.
Although the matter has been properly resolved, the discussion among netizens is still intense. One of the netizens said: "I said that I have seen (△▽) as a toilet sign, I don't know if you believe it or not." ”
Well, this sign is too difficult to understand, isn't it?
There are also netizens who see something even more outrageous, that is, a ○ + a △, you don't dare to enter at all, you can only make a decision by looking at whether it is a man or a woman who comes out of it.
Some netizens said: "Is it illegal to write Chinese on the toilet logo?"
Regarding this matter, the editor deliberately searched for the toilet logo, which was unexpected, and many of them were stupid and couldn't tell the difference, so let's take a look. I don't know if you can understand the following ones, especially the fourth one, if you don't have words, you can't understand what it means.
This one looks like a switch, is this a toilet sign?
This sign with clouds and rain is also strange, and if you don't know English, it will make people think about which is the men's toilet and which is the women's toilet.
And this, just use a bottle of beer to indicate it, so you can't guess!
This is also very strange, it is actually represented by ropes, and I don't know how these designers came up with it!
There are even more outrageous, there are no signs, and those who don't know think it's just decorative paintings on the walls. The middle one is pulled standing up, and the downward one is squatting and pulling. Otherwise, the man's silver arrow to the left is the man, and the woman's golden arrow is to the right?
写在最后
Some designs are designed purely for the sake of design, not for practicality. I've always wondered if it's so difficult to write a male and female character at the door?
Don't say that the middle-aged and elderly can't understand, we young people sometimes have to confirm again and again, now many so-called high-end shopping malls and office buildings or something, toilet markings are messy, not to mention Chinese characters, even English letters are not written, draw a picture for you to guess, have to complain.
The logo is weird, forget it, the general consensus of the toilet is the male left and the female right, but I don't understand that some places have to come to the opposite of the men's and women's toilets. There are Chinese everywhere, why don't you write Chinese characters?
Bathroom signs should be familiar and easy to understand, there is no need to engage in all kinds of things, how advanced they are, can they pull out the gold? It was originally a simple thing, but it has to be so complicated, and complication is the source of contradictions.
