    Only one person at a time can have a bowel movement with their dissatisfied foot into the toilet beard. To cause leakage, do not spread! Beard leaks automatically the excrement.

    “Beard” in simplified Chinese has the same character with “need( to )”,
    “beard know” actually means “need to know”.

  105. bridget | 6:03 pm |

    At least THIS one doesn’t have cameras!!!!

  106. Iam Jhonsoon | 10:49 pm |

    1. Each toilet cubicle has a limited occupancy of 1 person only. (Don’t try to save space by sharing a toilet with your friend at the same time.)
    2. Only release your excrement into the toilet bowl. If you release it anywhere else, the dissatisfied foot of the management will kick you.
    3. You must take good care of the toilet facilities. It is strictly forbidden to remove the toilet from the cubicle and take it out of the toilet room.
    4. Place your excrement in the excrement bucket provided. If you release it into the toilet bowl, it could block the toilet causing it to leak (overflow).
    5. To avoid scaring other toilet users, don’t scream inside the toilet, even if you’re very constipated.
    6. Don’t interfere with other people while they are enjoying the toilet. Allow them to release their excrement in peace.
    7. Don’t boil food in the toilet. Eat in the cafeteria instead.
    8. No idea!
    9. No graffiti writing.
    10. Don’t release excrement in the urinals.
    11. No unlawful carrying-on in the toilet and no hard parts of the anatomy.

  107. Iam Jhonsoon | 11:08 pm |

    I had a second thought. I think the whole thing means “Foreign men with beards must not hang around in these toilets violating young Chinese men”, or something along these lines.

    Uh yeah..cuz it’s so often you see/smell people boiling toilet water to make their food.

  111. Bob | 2:00 am |  Vote: Add rating 0  Subtract rating 0  

    My guess on 8 is “If you really need to use the toilet, then do it; don’t just hang around in here bothering people.” And I think 10 is more like “Please study these rules and make an effort to follow them.”

  112. Lyn | 9:41 pm |  Vote: Add rating 0  Subtract rating 0  

    With all these rules I think I’ll just hold it in….
