They keep reminding me on washing hands

This meme shows a public restroom with a framed hand-washing reminder sign above the sink. The sign's graphic design accidentally creates a suggestive image that looks like human buttocks with two hands resting on the cheeks, paired with the text 'PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS'. A second circular version of the sign overlaid on an American flag background is added in the bottom right corner. The humor comes from the unintended inappropriate visual of a mundane public health reminder sign.

PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS

Overview

This meme shows a public restroom with a framed hand-washing reminder sign above the sink. The sign's graphic design accidentally creates a suggestive image that looks like human buttocks with two hands resting on the cheeks, paired with the text 'PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS'. A second circular version of the sign overlaid on an American flag background is added in the bottom right corner. The humor comes from the unintended inappropriate visual of a mundane public health reminder sign.

Origin notes

This is a viral meme originally posted to Reddit with the title given. The base content is a photo of a real poorly-designed public restroom sign, which was edited to add the overlay and reposted as a joke, focusing on the accidental suggestive visual of the hand washing reminder.

This meme is a photograph taken in a public bathroom, featuring a wall-mounted sink beneath a hand-wash sign. The sign displays a cartoonish figure with hands raised at the top, a circular mouth, and a downward-pointing shape below. When paired with the sink directly beneath it, the sign's design creates a humorous visual pun: the sink's basin appears to be the lower part of the figure, giving the sign an unintended, silly double meaning. The bathroom has light tiled walls, a clear soap dispenser on the left side of the sink, a metallic faucet, and a small stainless steel trash can below the sink to the right. The text on the sign reads **PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS**, and the joke relies on the accidental (or intentional) visual coincidence between the sign's art and the sink's placement, prompting viewers to recognize the funny double meaning as referenced by the original title 'Blink twice if you’ve figured it out'.

The image displays a bathroom exit door with two distinct handles: a large, modern metal handle positioned above a smaller, older, rusted handle. Above the large handle, a sign reads "DIDN'T WASH HANDS", while a sign above the smaller handle reads "WASHED HANDS". At the top of the image, a bright yellow banner contains the text "I support this concept 😊". The visual joke here is a clever, humorous take on public bathroom hygiene: it creates an honest system where people must choose a handle corresponding to whether they washed their hands, alerting subsequent users to which handle may be unsanitary. This plays on the common frustration of people skipping handwashing in public restrooms, offering a quirky, transparent solution that forces accountability in a lighthearted way.

A modified public sign with three numbered panels. Panel 1 shows a simple stick figure urinating. Panel 2 displays a security camera. Panel 3 features the same stick figure urinating inside a rectangular box labeled 'YouTube'. The image uses crude visual humor and wordplay to satirize perceptions of social media platforms like YouTube engaging in excessive surveillance or data collection, implying they monitor even private, mundane actions.

This meme displays a public restroom exit door fitted with two distinct door handles. The larger, main door handle is positioned below a label that reads 'DIDN'T WASH HANDS' for use by people who did not wash their hands after using the restroom, while a smaller separate handle to its right is labeled 'WASHED HANDS' for people who did wash their hands, to avoid cross-contamination from unwashed hands. Text at the top of the meme reads 'I support this approach...', expressing approval of this clever, hygiene-focused solution. A white tiled restroom wall and light switch are visible to the left of the door.

A meme consisting of two parts: top text reading 'I gave obvious signs, but you didn't get it' followed by 'The signs:' and an image of two abstract black line symbols on a white wall. Each symbol resembles a stick figure with square components, accompanied by left-pointing (left symbol) and right-pointing (right symbol) arrows. The humor stems from the irony that the 'obvious signs' are actually vague, unrecognizable abstract shapes, making the recipient's confusion justified.

The image displays a public men's bathroom with fully transparent, see-through glass partitions separating each toilet stall, which provide effectively zero privacy for anyone using the facilities. Overlaid across the top of the image is large, bold text that reads "WE HAVE UPDATED OUR PRIVACY POLICY". The meme functions as a satirical joke: it draws a parallel between corporate announcements of updated privacy policies that almost always reduce user privacy and data control, and the non-private transparent bathroom stalls that offer no personal privacy at all.

This humorous meme shows an extremely exaggerated version of how some people prepare to use a public toilet. The entire toilet seat and rim is fully covered in multiple layers of toilet paper, with only a small square hole cut out in the center for use. Additional toilet paper is placed in the toilet bowl water to prevent splashback, as noted in the on-image text. The meme poses an unspoken question of whether this extreme level of precaution comes from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or is just a smart hack to avoid germs and splashes in public restrooms, tapping into the common anxiety many people feel about using public toilets.

The image displays two freestanding wet floor warning signs creatively designed to look like peeled bananas, placed on a light-colored tiled hallway next to a pale purple interior wall. The bright yellow signs have black tops mimicking banana stems, with four splayed banana peel segments forming the stable base of each sign. Each sign features bilingual safety text: the English line reads "CAUTION! Wet Floor" above a standard red triangular slipping hazard icon, while the Spanish line below reads "CUIDADO Piso Mojado". A small brand logo reading "BANANA" is visible at the bottom of the right sign. The visual gag plays on the classic slapstick comedy trope of people slipping on discarded banana peels, turning the familiar joke into a functional, humorous public safety item.
