toilet literature on campus

have been busy and busy...and busier...but not progressive with my reading. cannot think of anything to say, but just read something in the toilet which i found really interesting--something that's posted on the toilet door from inside, which goes roughly like this:
 
    "When you use these toilets please consider others and make sure it is fully flushed--even if it means you need to do it several times until it is clear." (in print, big black bold letters, styled 'Times New Norman' on a piece of A4 paper)
 
then someone else answered below on the margin of the page in handwriting, with a blue ball pen:
 
   "Do you suggest spending 10 to 15 minutes each time waiting to have enough water accumulated? One flush is enough. Anyway, it is a toilet--not an art gallary!"
 
well, it is purely citation from others but there is no way i could find out who the authors are and i'm not sure whether anyone will claim copyright of it--but as far as copyright is concerned, i'll have to make a disclaimer (in case of plagiarism) that it seems it is a piece, or rather two pieces of work by two female Phd students in the University of Aberdeen--God bless academics!
 
and, personally i guess sometimes two flushes might be needed, and the claime of "10 to 15 minutes " is definitely exaggerated--it takes 1 to 2 minutes, to be sure.

broadly agree... but it would most probably be some residents' piece of art rather than from passer-bys like me though, as only regular users would care :P

I saw it several times as well, cannot stop laughing at how aggressive and ridiculous a female PhD could be. But anyway, this is a loo in the PhD's building (where gathers most of PhD students in the School) so I thought, same as your idea, it must be written by female PhDs, however I didn't doubt about this until you read it, in which case this loo is not only used by the PhDs there, I now suppose.
