Phil saw this at Chippewa County Fairgrounds in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and provided another photo to demonstrate that the quotation marks may be, in fact, correct.
this reads as "Leave the restrooms as if you had found them clean," meaning (to me) "pretend they were clean when you got here," and further meaning "look what a mess you made."
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I've been checking this blog daily for months now, and this is one of my favorite comments EVER. "Look what a mess you made." I love it!
"Leave the restrooms pretending you found them clean." It's a threat. Do as you're told and no one will get hurt.
Seems like perfectly legitimate use to me!
Where is this place?
After I brainwash myself into thinking the restroom is clean, I can go pee in that trough.
I love the extra "clean" photo.
