What's next, an "I promise not to shit on the floor" sign in sheet in the bathroom?
Many years ago, I was working at the office of a client, and needed to use the washroom. There was a sign inside each stall (or maybe just the one I happened to use?) that said something like:
"Please flush the toilet after you use it, as visitors also use these toilets."
It was a makeshift sign, so I guess it was put up in response to an actual problem.

It's meant to shame, then. "Don't forget to flush!" would have been infantilizing but probably effective. Instead, it's "Remember that one time I was embarrassed? We don't know who it was, but I will try to control all of you even here."
