Another company having trouble with the acceptance of an unassigned transgender individual.
Is it OK if I check once I’m in a stall…that’s not the kind of thing I want other people to see
*checks pants* whoa, that wasn’t there before. Guess I can’t use this bathroom.
bwahahaha! I think this requires immediate hands-on um…medical attention…yes, medical.
Ok it’s Funny. But how is this related to Engrish ??!?
I don’t see any grammar/spelling errors.
FAIL !
The part where they didn´t kniw how to spell sh*tcan? xD
Agreed – this could be in an American establishment…
No, that could not be an American establishment, that can only be Asian.
I guess this one’s in Japan because of the young girls who appear to work in a maid cafe.
So if I’m dressed as a male character from a story about a video game, who’s played by a female… @_@
It says, “this is the female-only toilet.” There aren’t really any grammar mistakes, but they use unconventional grammar that most native speakers wouldn’t use.
+200 points for grammar considerations. Note also the use of “female” in a peculiar manner. Not to mention, the whole thing being silly. Definitely just barely counting as Engrish, but about to be overwhelmed by being ridiculously dumb.
Im amused at the fact they stated that the toilet is WESTERN STYLE..what is that supposed to mean? LOL
Some other countries apparently have shallow pan-type contraptions on the ground…you hafta squat and aim.
i went skiing in alpe d’huez – france.
toilets wern’t nice..
there was a hole in the ground with a frame around it and you had to squat. i held it in ’till i got back to the hotel.
eheheee.
Turkish toilets are seldom in France and generally reserved to some cheap public toilets or bars (it’s still very uncommon),we have normal toilets at home and most places,you know.You just were unlucky to find turkish toilets ^^(I hate them to)
You sure it was the toilet? XD
“Hey Louise, some guy just crapped in the garbage!” “Damn tourists, thinking they can just go anywhere! What is wrong with them!”
When I was in France they had normal toilets at all the hotels, but no locks on the doors. Sharing a room, you had to be careful.
I’m guessing this is China or Japan? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
They mostly use squat toilets there, so by a “Western Style” toilet they mean a normal toilet.
But I’ve seen squat toilets in western countries too. LOL..western style toilets… =P
I don’t think they have toilets in Westerns. The cowboys go behind the nearest bush or rock. The women didn’t use toilets- they were TOO pure!
Yeah, I’d feel bad using the loo after those seven happy maids in the frilly dresses scrubbed it out
Sure they did; it’s called an out house.
They use squat toilets in China, but in Japan they have super-evolved toilets with all kinds of buttons and bidet and stuff. So I think this might be China.
And white noise buttons so the person in the next stall can’t hear you pissing (or so i read one time).
Yeah, what’s with all those buttons? Imagine that you’re busy doing your stuff and then, click, you push one and next you know you’re bein ejected! Simpler works better for me.
Western style toilet: you have wear a big hat and a checked shirt to go into this loo.
Hahaha, good one!
Means it comes with a saddle and plays the theme to “Rawhide.”
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’
Though my belly’s swollen
Keep them turdies rollin’, Rawhide!
go visit another country and get some culture, dude.
What sort of culture is one likely to pick up in a toilet, apart from coliform bacteria?
Well, it certainly can’t be from reading on the toilet, since that causes constipation.
What the heck are those girls trying to signify with their hands? That it’s for female p0rn stars only? 0_o
thay luk liek sumwun tuk ther cheezburgers away!
Well, noticing the 3 in the front row are on their knees, I’m having a tough time resisting a joke with the old Burger King slogan “It takes two hands…”

They might be Whopper Virgins…
WIN!
It’s a little heart symbol that Japanese girls make in photos sometimes.
This is maid cafe, where the attraction is being served by a cute hyper girl in a maid outfit.
In Japan toilets are either ‘Japanese’ being the squat type or ‘Western’ being the sit down type.
But no engrish.
This sign is fine and kinda funny in the context(girls rarely go to maid cafes)
I guess some people just can’t tell the difference between ‘poor english’ and ‘something funny in a foreign country’
Seems to me those two categories share substantial overlap. My sentiment is, if it lolz, it rollz!
So, where do lesbian girls go? The nazi-lezbo kisa?
they are heart symbols duh <3
No matter how many times you check your sex, it’s always good to make sure once again, just in case, you never know.
Can I get some sort of concensus here – just how many times a day am I supposed to check to see if I’ve undergone some sort of surreptitious spontaneous gender reassignment? Oh, and if that posse of Silent Hill wannabes are waiting in the ladies’ loo to check that I’m female, then I’ll take my chances in the men’s loo.
Once again? How many times am I supposed to check?
As many times as necessary, Funboy. WE KNOW AND WE SEE.
Just checked. It’s all good.
But I am ‘in coming moon’ and I forgot my sarong.
Can I still enter?
Not if you are dangerous.
Well played, my friend.
I NOT HAS A PMS!!!!
Western Style toilets? What, are they mesquite flavor?
I can’t say I know whether toilets have flavors or not, since I make it a habit to avoid tasting them.
Even when you’re gargling in them?
Yes, that tongue taste ON/OFF switch I had surgically implanted comes in handy at times.
I already hear the sound of stampeding “comes in handy” jokes!
You know, I’m surprised no one else has mentioned it, but why is it a “female only” toilet?
It appears to be elliptical and has a large opening. Male toilets are more elongated and have small openings. I tell you, the quality of sex education today is really slipping…
Have you ever been outside your house?
that was meant for JohnB. Reply fail. Sorry.
I believe the definitions of “male” and “female” are the same regardless of whose house you’re in, although I have been in houses where the line was somewhat blurred…
Um, because in some countries public toilets are unisex, meaning men and women can use them at the same time. This being a female only toilet means that it is a women’s bathroom and only women are allowed in. Probably to protect those cute cafe maids from being molested by their customers while they heed the call of nature
“Western Style potties?” Way back in the ol’ West, like Little House on the Prairie or Bonanza, they used outhouses that didn’t quite look like the thing on the sign. Those were gender neutral- guess that’s what the crescent carved in the door meant.
The little girls’ hand sign looks a little bit like something in ASL. If they’d lap their tongue over the circle made by their hands, they’d be signing the word than concerns the act of making a female writhe. In a good way. If I’m not mistaken. About the ASL sign and the female writhing, that is. Reckon, then, their hand sign is perfect. But I don’t know ASL myself, I’ve just had knowledgeable friends and acquaintances of the hearing impaired variety teach me a few obscenities.
And those who don’t think it’s Engrish- yes, technically, it’s “correct”, no grammar or spelling mistakes. But it’s awkwardly worded English- no native speaker would talk like this… unless you’ve hit them in the head with a rebar or something. “Once again” at the start of the sentence- there’s an assumption that you personally goofed before and didn’t check to see if you had a Johnson or not, and you may have never seen the sign or wandered into the toilet by mistake yet. Innocent until proven guilty, dammit. The tone sounds slightly “fresh” or overly familiar- like using the Spanish “tú” form and not “Ud.” with a stranger or elder. And “female-only” is not a phrase I use very often, unless I’m being a smart-ass or something.
And, finally, to answer dethduck, it’s “female-only” ’cause the ladies want one damn toilet where the fool menfolk don’t wee on the seat. I’m a Buck who grew up in a house with 5 Does, and know about these things. And ladies, I raise the seat when I does my (liquid) bidness, then I do put the lid down. I been house-broken.
I agree with buckinarut. The idioms use are not typical for a native English speaker, so it’s Engrish.
“Once again make sure that you are a woman”
Its either engrish or in San Francisco.
Okay, am I imagining things, or are some public toilets in Japan of the you-squat variety and used by both men and women? In that context the sign makes perfect sense apart from the weird (and frankly Engrish) wording.
*checks*
All systems go
i believe.. they are trying to hint something, something like “this is female only *wink wink*, and its western *wink wink* you couldn’t possibly put a hidden camera under the seat rink *wink wink*”
(tottaly un relivant) their outfit are so omega cute >w<
“once again”? how many times have they warned us before this sign? Are there signs warning you this is for females all the way down the hall? I’m not a woman the last time I checked, but I’ll be sure to check again before going to this place.
well, im pretty sure im a girl, last time i checked.
Didn’t know it was such a big problem to use the toilet. When you have to go, you have to go..no time to double check your gender.
