Potty Sign

Some of you out there might have heard me talk about this before, but I haven't brought it up in a long time so I decided to put it in my blog.

I've been living in my apartment for almost two years, which is a record for students like me who tend to move far too often. When I moved in, my landlady stressed to me that if I caused the septic tank to overflow, I would have to pay for it to be pumped. Thus, I should be vigilant about what goes down the toilet.

The last tenant, however, felt that this knowledge was not sufficient in and of itself. What if a guest decided they had to flush some large unsavory without knowing the dreadful sewage backup consequences? So she came up with a 'fabulous' idea and told the landlady: "Wouldn't it be great if there was a sign you could just leave in the washroom, so that any guest would know what and what not to flush down the toilet? That would allow the renter to avoid discussing said distasteful subject with every individual who visits."

And wouldn't you know, my landlady thought this was a great idea and was very excited to show me THE SIGN when I moved in:
I'm not sure what all of you think, but to me, this was the tackiest thing I'd seen in a long time and I had absolutely no desire to put that in my bathroom for guests to see. As well, the main question that comes to mind is this: why was the sign made so large? It's a foot by a foot and a half in size! Would a small sign, say 6"x6", not have sufficed? I *might* have put that sign up, but this one resides behind my toilet facing the wall. I currently trust the good sense of my guests to use the toilet appropriately.
