It’s a fold-out hook that clips back in so the purse can’t get pulled up OR under the door without pulling the hook back out.
Also, if they hadn’t cropped the picture, you could see that there is another hook right above the top sign, so it makes total sense–use the purse hook that clips for your purse, not the one that someone can reach over the door and grab purse by strap and run out before you finish peeing.
Please for the love of god tell me that was an ironic use of the
incorrect ‘there’. I mean, if you’re going to criticize somebody’s grammar,
at least have the decency to make sure your own is correct.
i thought that it was obvious that i was being ironic, seeing as i used all 3 forms incorrectly. that took me 5 minutes to get right. err, i mean wrong.
I don’t know, maybe, ummmm, a WOMAN!!!!!!! But of course you haven’t seen one, so I will excuse your “joke” and recommend you leave your computer to enjoy the real world, which does have women with purses.
That’s why you and I respond – we’re wieners with no life outside the failblog! WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER!WIENER! and……… WIENER!
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.
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.
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.
I can’t comprehend that the human race.. which I am a member of… Is capable of something like that. Unless they took the photo before they changed signs or w/e
the top sign looks further away than the bottom sign but they look stuck to the same wall (which dosn’t actually look like a wall) … it confuses and hurts my eyes
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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…
mmm yes….but then again , i work in IT ( hence my knowledge of the truth about the internet and the pixie dust that makes it possible ) and that is a whole other breed of pretentious bastrds…
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.

Nom’s sock, it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
Who would’ve thought that a Nom, nom, nomymous would come to this
Sara already pointed out your spelling fail, but I would like to point out your “exclamation point” fail. You fail because only one exclamation point is required to “exclaim” something in a sentence.
Or, if you wanted to not fail at exclamation points, it could read more like this:
YOU USED A SOCK AS A CONDOM!!!!!1!!!!!1!!!!one!!11one
The added exclamation miss-types indicate that the exclamation is in fact sarcastic.
Crap I just realized I’m failing really hard right not. . . .moving on. :p
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
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?
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.
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.
All in all, you decide whether you want to get screwed today or not. If yes, then go ahead and hang your purse.
Reuse FAIL!
This time the fail is on FAILBLOG!!!!
Seriously, there isn’t enough new stuff out there? Why reuse this crap?
ZZZzzzz!
Because people vote for it. Democracy fails again.

I love the pattern the nested comments make.
I have been to that bathroom you know. Gives you something to ponder especially if your valuables are already hanging.
LOL, I used to wonder why it only ever got to 11 nests, until I noticed the reply button kinda just isn’t there anymore.

Now that is productive use of one’s time.
I’ve done the same productiveness.
Doing your mum
i know, but i was really bored and i had other, more important things to do.
Haha, has anyone even noticed yet that the hook is upside down so you can’t even hang your purse there!?
It’s a “feature.”
It’s a fold-out hook that clips back in so the purse can’t get pulled up OR under the door without pulling the hook back out.
Also, if they hadn’t cropped the picture, you could see that there is another hook right above the top sign, so it makes total sense–use the purse hook that clips for your purse, not the one that someone can reach over the door and grab purse by strap and run out before you finish peeing.
Use some sense WIN!
Absolutely correct – I was in one of these bathrooms today, at a rest area along I-95 in Virginia.
See Virginia ain’t a dumb place!
Self-determination win?
as soon as they hang the purse the latch closes and the purse is locked in
Besides, who carries their valuables in a purse instead of pants, honestly?
joke (-:
Honestly? joke
Win! fail

grammar lessons
those cost too much for the average failblog user. their just too poor, and they’res no time for the lessons. plus, there families don’t like grammer.
Please for the love of god tell me that was an ironic use of the
incorrect ‘there’. I mean, if you’re going to criticize somebody’s grammar,
at least have the decency to make sure your own is correct.
And also use correct punctuation, please.
BTW; “somebody’s grammar” = “somebody is grammar” = fail.
No, ’s can also denote possession as in: The above post is Nwabby’s failure.
Goodness, you poor people. When are you going to learn? Fighting the Grammar War is like competing in the Special Olympics.
*Blank stare… drools*
i thought that it was obvious that i was being ironic, seeing as i used all 3 forms incorrectly. that took me 5 minutes to get right. err, i mean wrong.
however, i think “they’res” might have been too much of a stretch.
So many fails.
So obvious, captain.
i could have sworn that picture went to captain oblivious.

Almost looks real…. depth perception fail?!?!
Obviously Photoshopped. Neither of the signs have their shadow right, and that hook looks just like that one from that movie.
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.
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
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.

I have my doubts on the authenticity of this fail.
In other words, this was photoshoped.
I can’t comprehend that the human race.. which I am a member of… Is capable of something like that. Unless they took the photo before they changed signs or w/e
Agreed! This looks like its badly stuck together by a Polish person.

well you suck at shotophop then! :p

I prefer to tip the cows instead.
and then stick a knife in its eye of course
you ruined the nice conversation

This fail fails. So it’s a fail win! Or a whale fin.
nuts
the top sign looks further away than the bottom sign but they look stuck to the same wall (which dosn’t actually look like a wall) … it confuses and hurts my eyes
it actually looks curved.
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.
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.
mmm yes. the lower, less blurry more red signed hook.
but, maybe its the slightly different angles that makes it less reachable…
Yeah, exactly.
Quite.
Indubitably.
“Indubitably” usage win

Exactly. I’ve seen this before.
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.
Thats what they want you to think. protecting their secret design and all…

I am the hero, the evil enemy is the people. *u*
A “genious politition”???
*changes channel to PBS*
maybe the politicians are why they moved to australia.
WTF mate?
no to become a politition i had to give up the genious bit and keep the evil bit

You can see that the “Place purse here” sign is slanted as well.
Your face is slanted…
Your mom is slanted in lolman’s bedroom!

And I’m discusted at your spelling!
like i said earlier when i changed from evil genious to politition i had to give up the genious bit
politition?
like he said, he had to give up the genious bit.
(yes, i know that’s not how it’s spelled) : P
at least he used something, maybe socks are his fetish?
Sara already pointed out your spelling fail, but I would like to point out your “exclamation point” fail. You fail because only one exclamation point is required to “exclaim” something in a sentence.

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
Zat near the holler or the hills?
Actually, it’s near Reality City. I’m pretty sure that it’s flat around there.
“Do not eat the dirt”
“Free dirt”

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

it’s OBVIOUS lol
This is stupid. There is a hook above the “Do not hang on hook sign.” They mean the top one.

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.
Simpsons did it ….
no, they did not.
oh dear lord WOULD YOU STOP WITH THE MATURBATING???
*giggle*
The spelling is still not matur.
Spelling not imatur enough imo.
Photoshop fail, anyways…
yup, pretty much
Nope. Not a fail! This is real. But, I’m glad to see that you have not been in any LADIES restrooms in Virginia/Maryland.
seeing as I’m a lady I might have, except I haven’t been to either state.
There should be a hooker on top.
Where’s Cee Cee?
In her bunk.
does it happen to share the same time-space coordinates as your bunk?
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?
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.
