Very confusing!
I came up with some for a "contest" at work for our new office. They were similar to the top two right ones.
I had one with the lid up, and the other also but with the circle and slash ("lid up prohibited"). I think that's much more intuitive than any of these.
In fact, I need English "captions" to have any clue, especially for the four I've not alluded to.

LOL, John. Having lived in Japan for several years while in the military, I came across all sorts of "facilities". The most shocking to westerners was the use of coed lavatories and bathrooms which did not provide any privacy. However, nowadays Japan (except in remote areas) is completely westernized with the facilities separated by gender.

The square, bottom left is totally obvious! It's a fan. I mean do you want it in single silly-balls? If so then stand in line behind me.

Then in line ---- front wash, back wash and stop. The 2 top left are full flush and half flush. I think that translates to

Top left 'Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5' in the same suite, I thgink you call it a straight flush? and the next to it a 1/2 flush? You work that one out, I'm buggered if I can! :Smirk::Smirk:

I never got as far as Japan when I was in the R.A.F. I had to make do with 2 1/2 years in Singapore. ****, but somebody had to do it :Mischievous::Mischievous::Mischievous:



Oh, how I suffered with no aircon in my MGTC :Smirk:

I think that I will steer clear of Japan!

I have enough trouble with our Sky sat box :[:[

I'd be a bit like the police a few years back when someone broke into their Police Station and stole all the loos. They said they could catch the thief but they had nothing to go on :Mischievous::Mischievous:
