  1. Pejter says:

    All in all, you decide whether you want to get screwed today or not. If yes, then go ahead and hang your purse.

  2. Pejter says:

    Besides, who carries their valuables in a purse instead of pants, honestly? :-) joke (-:

  3. Puddy says:

    Almost looks real…. depth perception fail?!?!

    • Oripapa says:

      Obviously Photoshopped. Neither of the signs have their shadow right, and that hook looks just like that one from that movie.

    • D00ds says:

      Nope, it is real. Thing is, the upper sign refers to the coat hook on the door, while they offer an extra lower hook for purses. This is for a bathroom, obviously.

      • Lord_Farin says:

        How do you explain the two signs not even hanging straight compared to each other? This is so clearly PS’ed…

        Not even to mention the difference in the level of detail

        • salis says:

          I think the argument D00ds was making was that there would be another hook higher up outside of view in this image that a thief could reach at my reaching over the door. That is the hook they’d be referring to with the first sign. The second one refers to the lower hook. If that’s the case, it would still be a fail, but it would be too weak of a fail to be featured on this site; this image would therefore be cropped for comedic value.
          All that being said, I do think it was PSed, but I don’t think you gave D00ds enough credit for their argument.

        • ForTheLolz says:

          Lord_Farin, do you mean to tell me that you have never seen anything made with poor workmanship? These signs are in the ladies restrooms in Virgina! They’re put up by the DOT in a *restroom.* They don’t waste any money on quality for a travelers rest stop bathroom.

  4. ButhedaBunzai says:

    I have my doubts on the authenticity of this fail.

  5. Me says:

    Ummm, yeah, this is real, but the only difference is above the top sign is a hook where some one could reach over and grab your purse. The second hook is in the middle of the door where no one can reach over or under the door and grab you shit. So actually, its a picture fail.

  6. Dave Miers says:

    they’ve just cut the top off.

    if you put your purse on the top hook someone can reach over and swipe your gear.

    so – instead you put it on the lower, unreachable hook.

  7. buzzkill says:

    This isn’t a fail, this is a cropped photo. These sorts of arrangements are common in public rest areas on major highways; there is a coat hook above the caution sign at the top of the photo, and a hook much lower on the door, the one visible in the photo, that someone can’t just reach over the top and snag your stuff while you’re indisposed.

    Come on guys… there is a whole world of fail out there for the taking, no need to fake it!

  8. nignog says:

    Did anyone notice that the hook is also upside down?

    • Adoni says:

      The photo was taken in australia. duh

    • buzzkill says:

      Vision fail. The hook is not upside down. It’s mounted by a flat bar at the bottom, the follows a straight line up before curving back towards the door. There is a gap at the top.

    • JessItIs says:

      It’s a super secret design – actually the hook is like a caribiner (sp?) and that’s where you are SUPPOSED to hang your purse, and not on the hook referenced in the sign above it, which happens to be out of the picture. Attempt at fail fail.

    • ButhedaBunzai says:

      The screws distance from the top of the hook..
      The fact that if you look at it’s bottom you can clearly see it wraps around down there…

      It is not upside down.

      • Adoni says:

        Thats what they want you to think. protecting their secret design and all…

        • ButhedaBunzai says:

          I shall track down these engineers and force them to fix my lopsided cabinets.

          Then, I shall make them individually bring the pieces it takes to create a nuke into an abandoned building in New York city.. and after months of forced labor it will be complete..

          THEN! OH YES! THEN! I shall initiate the countdown with them tied to it! HAHAHAHAHA!

          Then I will drink my tea and eat my crumpets, while watching colourful television.

          • Adoni says:

            Ahh, but see, your plan wont work. first off, they dont use engineers. its all pixie dust. just like the internet. and second, they control the supplies of tea and crumpets…. and they wont be happy…

  9. Desiree says:

    Actually this picture cropped out the hook at the top of the stall. That’s the hok the picture is referring to. People can just reach in and snatch it. With the latch in the middle of the door, they can’t just grab and go.

  10. lolman says:

    You can see that the “Place purse here” sign is slanted as well.

  11. Nwabby says:

    Yarrrr, ye purse be placed ‘pon here.
    Oh, wait, that’s _captain_ hook.

  12. Brought to you by our schizophrenic security director.

    “I want to help you protect your valuables, so don’t hang your purse on the hook. SHUT UP! WE WANTS THEIR VALUABLES! HANG YOUR PURSE ON THE HOOKSES! No! That would be bad! They shouldn’t hang their purse on the hook! NASTY TOURISTSES! DESERVES TO HAVE THEIR PRECIOUS VALUABLES STOLEN! HANG THE PURSE ON THE HOOKSES!”

  13. Mandy says:

    This is definitely real- It’s in a rest stop on I-81 in Virginia. There’s only that one hook and it’s not upsidedown. I always hang my purse on it haha

  14. Nowhereman says:

    “Do not eat the dirt”

    “Free dirt”

  15. Captain Obvious says:

    Maybe the bottom thingy isn’t a hook. Maybe it’s a win after all.

  16. Ashlee says:

    This is stupid. There is a hook above the “Do not hang on hook sign.” They mean the top one. Robbers will reach over to the top and grab whatever you have on the top hook, but it’s a little hard to do with the lower one… That is unless you have a very long purse or something. They should have taken a picture of both hooks. So, why go through all the trouble of making those signs when you can just remove the top hook from the door anyway?

    • aaaaanon says:

      the top hook is for coats, which would pile on the floor if hung from the middle one.

      and don’t even dare say that you could wear your coat while using the toilet.

  17. Whoopii says:

    Simpsons did it ….

  18. jayv says:

    oh dear lord WOULD YOU STOP WITH THE MATURBATING???

  19. Glove Dust says:

    Photoshop fail, anyways…

  20. fuzz on the concept says:

    There should be a hooker on top.
    Where’s Cee Cee?

  21. Roo says:

    I think Ronnie Corbett could reach the lower hook if he turns into a thief.

    That’s what most double acts do when one of them dies isn’t it?

  22. ForTheLolz says:

    I will have to agree with many of the others here, to say that THIS IS REAL. Just go to any Virgina/Maryland LADIES restroom and you’ll see this. There used to be a hook that was just below the level of the door so that it was extremely easy for someone to just walk by and nab your purse. Now they’ve installed a new place to put your purse. The “hook” in the picture is actually quite lower than the top of your door and has a contraption that makes it so you cannot open it from above.

    The fail in this picture is just an understanding fail.

  23. fyberoptic says:

    omg my head just exploded

  24. Winfail says:

    Precaution FAIL, temptation WIN

  25. I Can Has Anonymity? says:

    Has anyone wondered what this person was doing in the bathroom stall with a camera in the first place?

  26. Mao says:

    contradiction WIN!

  27. meow says:

    *COUGH* PHOTOSHOP *COUGH*

  28. Student Poop says:

    Everybody here has small testicles or boobs

  29. Kayla says:

    OMG I SAW THIS SIGN TOO! HAHAHAHA

  30. Marie says:

    I’ve seen hooks like that in Central station in Sydney. The signs had pretty similar wording, too. I suspect they’re even more fail, though, as they’re positioned opposite the toilet paper holder, and therefore a shoulder bag will dangle below the divider and out of your natural eye line, where someone in the next stall with a knife could slash your bag open and you wouldn’t even know your valuables had been pinched until you stood up and saw your non-valuable possessions on the floor. I’d have taken my chance with the coat hook, especially since I had a heavy backpack, but there wasn’t one.

  31. sean says:

    OMG IV SEEN THAT IV BEEN THERE THEY HAD IT IN THE MENS RESTROOM!!!

  32. Tempest says:

    Actually saw this in Alabama. Laughed too hard to pee for a while.
