New signage in a Leeds public house has left patrons baffled whenever they visit the venue’s toilets. Booze-filled customers frequenting the restrooms of The Three Legs on The Headrow are greeted with a pair of signs that are causing much confusion.
A sign in the stalls of the men’s and women’s bathrooms asks visitors not to flush anything besides bathroom tissue down the toilet. Most patrons have taken this request literally and are either spending a penny on the floor, using the sink, or, in the case of one reveller, putting their turds in their pockets.
“I rarely curl one out in public, but I was caught short last Wednesday, so I had no choice but to use the toilet at the Legs,” explained Barry White. “Just as I was cleaning myself up, I saw the sign saying only toilet paper could be flushed. What was I meant to do with my log? I panicked, picked it up, and put it in my pocket to dispose of later.”
Second Sign Foils Patrons’ Plans
Not everyone we spoke to was as resourceful as Mr White or willing to walk around with crap in their pockets. Others did their business on the floor, resulting in a messed-up version of the 110-metre hurdles for people heading to the toilet.
Babba Tash, spokesperson for The Three Legs owner Greene King, told The Yorkshire Tribune the reasons behind both signs.
“We kindly requested that people only flush loo roll after thousands of discarded mini ziplock bags caused several blockages over the past few months. Unfortunately, some patrons took the sign to mean they could not flush their waste.”
“The second sign was necessary after those dim-witted customers began springing a leak and defecating on the toilet floors. Initially, our pub manager put a couple of pairs of waders in each bathroom, but customers began stealing them and doing “shoe bombs” as the nights wore on; we even ejected one patron for trying to smoke one.
The Yorkshire Tribune managed to resolve the signage confusion. We understand that toilet rolls and human waste are allowed to be flushed. However, patrons are still encouraged to wipe their feet on their way out of the infamous public house.
