Gas Station Restrooms

As many of you know, Jared and I travel a lot. Since both of our families live out of state we travel to see them often. When we travel we drive most of the time. (let's face it, even with gas prices being high, it's still cheaper than buying 2 plane tickets.)

Since we've travelled a lot, we've seen some very interesting bathrooms. I could write an entire chapter of a book about bathrooms that we've seen in our day. But today I will just tell you about our most recent bathroom experience.

We stopped at a dodgy looking gas station just outside of Kansas City. I desperately needed to use the restroom (having those refills on my soda at lunch was a mistake in hindsight) So I decided to brave the bathroom. When I got in there I saw this sign above the toilet.


At first I didn't even understand what to do, so then I looked down at the toilet (which conveniently had the lid off, thank you management) and saw this:


So apparently I needed to tip that water tank forward to get the toilet to flush. I just started laughing because, when you need a sign giving step by step instructions on how to flush, and your CUSTOMERS need to put their hand in their innards of the toilet, it's time to call the plumber!
