Witty Office Sign Above U* Sparks Online Frenzy

An amusing image from Reddit has caught the attention of many users, displaying a sign above a u***** that has sparked a mix of laughter and confusion. The image shows a metallic flush valve attached to a white tiled wall, with a handwritten note taped above it. The note, written in black marker on white paper, reads, "U***** HASN'T flushed for week's. Well, if you push the button with the hand and index finger graphic on it, it will flush. It's like a new Technology."

This quirky message has led to a flood of comments and reactions from the Reddit community. One user humorously pointed out, "That button honestly looks so similar to an auto flush that I'm not surprised most people don't use it." Another user added, "The u***** not flushing in weeks is the least of your concerns at that point. If the thing is not flushing and has weeks' worth of pee, then no one is cleaning those bathrooms."

An observant commenter identified the flush valve as a "Sloan EBV-200-A Exposed sensor u***** retrofit flusher," explaining that it typically uses an infrared sensor for automatic flushing. They speculated that the battery might be dead and in need of replacement. Another user mentioned, "Well… to be fair, the auto flush doesn’t seem to be working, which is the primary method of flushing. The button is a backup. The sign is alerting folks that a repair is needed."

The note's phrasing also drew attention, with comments like, "Week's what? I'm dying to know!" and "It's labeled, but I could see missing it. Though not to the point I'd put up a sign, I'd probably investigate and figure it out."

Some users expressed their disgust at the idea of touching the flush button, with one saying, "I don’t want to touch the pee pee place. Make a pressure-sensitive plate that arms when you stand on it, and when you leave it flushes. Boom. Or a foot actuated flusher. Also boom." Another user humorously remarked, "Im not touching the button that one guy peed on. It's the number 1 public bathroom rule, don't and I mean don't touch any surface directly."

This witty and slightly gross situation has certainly provided a lot of entertainment and discussion, highlighting the quirks and challenges of public restroom maintenance. The image and its accompanying comments have given everyone a good laugh while also shedding light on the importance of clear signage and functional restroom facilities.
