How did this become the accepted symbol for washroom? I suppose depicting a man and a woman voiding themselves of waste products would have been too much, but surely this symbol doesn't make one think about going to the bathroom. It's obviously a learned symbology compared to other, more obvious symbols.
Imagine what this symbol could have represented if it wasn't ingrained in our brains that it means washroom. Some ideas:
- Confessional
- Monolith viewing ahead
- Peep show
- Parallel universe ahead
- Separate beds only
- His and hers pole dancing lessons
- Sex change operations
