Signage Fail
If it was not a restroom that I used in the California ferry station, well let's just say that management is not going to be happy with everything that's going on in there.
Against my better judgment, I'm going to quote Wikipedia here. "Quotation marks can also be used to indicate a different meaning of a word or phrase than the one typically associated with it and are often used to express irony."
Did I somehow wander into an ironic bathroom? What would an ironic bathroom even be?
I can only assume that the ferry station has had trouble with some of its clientele. I'm guessing they don't want anyone hanging out in the restroom or confusing it with a "rest room." However, having been in the restroom, I feel like anyone choosing to spend large amounts of time there, maybe reading a book or catching up on correspondence, has been punished enough.
