I can't help but think of Dr. Evil when he uses finger quotes for "laser beam" and "Death Star" because he believes he made them up. Did someone actually think "flush" was a one-of-a-kind word?
I'm just glad to see any signs asking people to flush. At Ryerson guys have made a habit of NOT flushing anything at all. I don't know if it's a cleanliness thing or a laziness thing but the urinals are always bright yellow with stagnant urine.
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.

The sign lies!!! IT'S THE EJECT BUTTON!!!
It's a joke. Your face will become flushed with self-consciousness when you push the little black button and nothing happens.

Nice! I tried earlier to come up with some joke using that version of "flush" but nothing came to me.
I'm so glad this is up now, just too proud :)
As a point of fact, those toilets were *supposed* to be self-flushing. The self-flush doesn't work, hence the sign.
Somehow, that actually makes "flush" funnier to me.
