Why would they disable patient toilets??? by johnfalconer

Why would they disable patient toilets???

I’ve see this sign in a couple of hospitals now. Obviously designed by a committee!!
Where are toilets designated for disable?

Haha. Looks very funny to me.
December 18th, 2023  
As opposed to an impatient toilet? The mind boggles!
December 18th, 2023  
I insisted our signs got changed to 'accessable' at work!!
December 18th, 2023  
Hahaha, nice!
December 18th, 2023  
LOL! Wonder who is on the committee. =)
December 18th, 2023  
Unbelievable!
December 18th, 2023  
It makes you wonder

Haha😀😱😂

They obviously ran out of funding to add an AND or &.

🤦‍♀️ Granted, my blood sugar is dangerously low right now (steps have been taken to correct, now my body just needs a little time to respond) so my brain isn't working as well as usual when it comes to processing... But I really did think it was saying the toilet for patients was not functional at the moment! Took me a sec!

I suppose the word “disabled” is no longer pc, but I think with regards to toilets everyone knows what it means. But, for a play on words, which I think was your intention, I agree, why would they 🤣
December 18th, 2023  
Ha ha there are so many signs around now days that are just wrong with the way they are worded
December 18th, 2023  
What an odd sign and great find for you!
December 18th, 2023  
Well observed
December 18th, 2023  
maybe the safety pull cord is not working
December 18th, 2023  
You had me going for a bit
December 18th, 2023  
Great word play!
December 18th, 2023  
Oh no......not at all convenient !
December 18th, 2023

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. There are some great comments. Luckily I go home from hospital today as I was getting a bit desperate for things to photograph !! (Not really)

Too funny! But what a predicament if you were new to the English language!
December 19th, 2023  
What a hoot.

And the toilet was so patient, too!! :)
December 19th, 2023  
Great find
December 19th, 2023  
A bit like 'Ambulatory toilet' - which I don't imagine is walking anywhere!

This photo is bringing out all the desperate jokes!!! (That I would say)

I asked my pc advisors. A daughter. She said you can’t call a person disabled (fair enough). So they should use the word “accessible” on this sign instead. But to me it doesn’t make sense then. I’m just getting old I think.

@illinilass
If you translate this into French and then translate that French into English then the sign reads “disabled patient toilet”!!
December 19th, 2023  
Uh oh! Signmakers really need to get better, there are too many sign fails

@swchappell
I agree. But they are fun to spot.
