I'm sure this is no news to you, but: Everybody poops.
Yes, that's right. Every single person on the planet has to use the restroom at some point in their lives. That's just the way it works. But you know what every single person doesn't need? A clever little sign letting them know which bathroom they're allowed to void their bowels in.
And yet, some restaurants and other public establishments have taken it upon themselves to label their bathrooms in such a way that is, as some might say, too clever by half. There are plenty of things to joke about when it comes to things humans do. For instance, fart jokes are always funny! But creating jokes purely for the purpose of labeling which bathroom is for which sort of human? It's weird. It's hella normative. And it's also, just...not that funny?
Oh yeah. And it's confusing!
If you don't know what I mean, just keep reading. Here are some bathroom signs that are really just too clever for their own good.Ummmm.

Wait a second.
Why doesn't the guy pizza have arms? Did I miss something in my pizza anatomy class?This is sure to cause some issues.
I have to imagine that whoever came up with this idea thought they were being very smart and funny. Alas, they were not.Now they're just messing with me.
I'm pretty sure that if I ever ran into a bathroom situation like this in real life, I'd probably just leave the establishment. Or pee in the hallway.How did they mess this up?!
It's almost as if the misdirection was intentional. Actually, are we sure it's not?Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Cool! Now I can pee and be offended at the same time.
Woah this bathroom sign is waaaaaaay too sexist. No. https://t.co/15w8chMLsP— JLIPS 제이립스 (@JLIPS 제이립스)1536898033.0
More peeing!
I'd say it's a pretty bold move for a bar owner to use beer to symbolize pee on their bathroom signs. Not sure it speaks too highly of the stuff they're serving.Just ike puzzle pieces.
It's awkward, it's clunky, and it's heteronormative! I'll take it! (To the Dumpster.)This one's out of this world.
Geeky bathroom sign :) http://t.co/3Y2oFql2b3— Kristaps Skutelis (@Kristaps Skutelis)1371026881.0
Cool.
The peach is a vagina and the banana is a penis. You get it.That's more like it!

OK, this one I kind of like.
What have I done with my valuable break time this morning? Welp, I designed some bathroom signs for the office. 😬 https://t.co/umxnfRoFFB— BigHorse (@BigHorse)1532358628.0
Just like in real life.
Siri, show me the worst possible way to sign bathrooms https://t.co/1X8Ko7x5FS— Casey Plett (@Casey Plett)1526087049.0
Mr. and Ms. Pacman, I presume.
I heard that these doors only open if you come toward them saying, "Wokka wokka wokka wokka."Pretty straightforward.
Well, you probably wouldn't be confused as to which bathroom you were supposed to enter here. I guess it at least has that going for it.Not fair!
I get what they're going for here, but I can't help but feel offended on behalf of the "girls." They'll starve!Do you get this one?

This had to have been intentional.
