The sign stood at the entrance to a men's room at our place of employment (not this specific sign, but one with the exact same message). Now, we're all for wet-floor safety. And we appreciate the multi-lingual approach. As our place of employment is a community college in the San Francisco Bay Area, we serve a cosmopolitan melange of bathroom users. And students. These students, though, while they hail from various international locales, are not what you might call German. Neither are the faculty. In fact, the closest the college came to having a German on campus was when Arnold Schwarzenegger passed by on a campaign swing.
Maybe that's why we have those signs. Maybe the college is trying to attract German exchange students!
