Chinesemafia sent me this picture from Singapore.

This is not a phone

It's the keypad for an electronic door lock.

I wonder why the "this is not a phone" sign is even necessary. Do people routinely attempt to make phone calls using that lock keypad?

Singaporeans are strange. They seem to enjoy stating the obvious. A friend once told me about seeing a "no urinating in the lift" sign in an elevator over there.

I think they should have added "and no shitting too" to be safe.

Well some idiots

do urinate in the lifts. But hey, idiots can't read too. Isn't that obvious?

joyfulchicken's picture

Holy shit

People actually urinate in lifts? My faith in humanity is shattered.

This is not

a reply.

Hmmm....

Maybe urinating in lifts there is prevalent, hence the sign. But that's downright weird, considering that Singaporeans are fastidiously clean people.

Maybe

that's their way of rebelling against their society's strict discipline.

I've got a shirt from

I've got a shirt from Singapore with all their usual BAWAL signs (no chewing gums, no smoking etc.) and when I saw the sign that says No Urinating in the Lifts, I had to wonder why that was necessary. Many Pinoy men would urinate just about anywhere outdoors so we've got these Bawal signs everywhere. If, in the future, I get the chance to go to Singapore, I will make it a personal mission to catch anybody urinating in an elevator just to ask that person a great big WHY.

Show us

a picture of your shirt! Yay, instant blog entry for you :-D

LOL

hahaha now that was odd. Maybe I should get my dad one of those. :)

joyfulchicken's picture

People mistake your dad

with a phone too?

I suppose...

...one can chalk it up to the sheer anal nature of Singaporean law. Though to be fair, we don't put signs like "No urinating" in lifts and we've got people pissing everywhere, so perhaps they've got the right idea.

Sheer anal nature of Singapore law?

Ironically, anal sex was illegal under Singaporean law until a few years ago :-D

Isn't it stupid?

Who's gonna know what you did in your bedroom unless you broadcast it?

joyfulchicken's picture

Maybe

they had plans to install cameras everywhere. Hello 1984 police state!

Or unless you find yourself in the ER

With your behind ripped and dripping blood hehe... Now that sounds gross.

philos's picture

I've never been to a lift

Where someone urinated here... have you?

joyfulchicken's picture

How do you know that?

Some elevators around here do stink. Just because you don't see puddles doesn't mean that no one peed in there.
