This is completely random, but a tweet from @IvaCheung reminded me of this vacation house my family and I stayed at a few years ago. The owners of the place seemed just a *little* uptight about a few things.
They really didn't want anyone eating outside of a couple of designated areas. There were at least half a dozen of these signs around the house.
I guess they'd had some guests who left windows open, so there were a few of these around the house too.
This just seems like common courtesy. What kind of barbarians are they renting this place too if they need to put up signs saying this?
Not that we really could have used the garage anyway because it was full of their junk, but just in case.
Okay!

(I do not remember where this door was in the house or what it might have led to.)
BATHROOMS USE ONLY, PEOPLE
Is this . . . is this a thing people do? They rent a vacation house and move the dryer?
The main bedroom was apparently NOT a safe place for unaccompanied minors.
SPOILER ALERT: I got in the tub to take a picture of the sign telling me to stay out of the tub.
For such a nice place, they seem to have a lot of things that are out of order.
Again, what kind of barbarians do they think we are?
This house had obviously been added on to, but whoever did the renovations hadn't redesigned the HVAC system, so the great room was always sweltering. Solution: Put some fans in front of the vents and leave them on all the time.
More exhortations about what to do to make the great room somewhat more bearable (plus a bonus exhortation about not eating outside of designated areas).
They had a lot of animal heads mounted on the wall. You may want to touch them, but DO NOT TOUCH THEM.
I don't even know what this thing is. An air return that was blocked off because someone didn't know anything about HVAC design? Who knows?
Just in case you don't know how doors work.
I think that's all the signs I got pictures of. There were more, but I think they were all repeats.

But as a bonus, check out the bed in the main bedroom. I think it was 10 feet square.
hahaha

Yeah, this is pretty accurate. https://twitter.com/andybechtel/status/1347241849379962881
I forgot to mention that the owners told us they may drop by while we were there just to check on things, and my father-in-law, who rented the place for all of us, pretty firmly told them that that was unacceptable.
