I really don't see what's not to like.
Great, everyone is included in passive aggressive toilet signs.
Well Karen, a sign is not going to make someone replace the dunny roll!!
Also, for the kitchen- your mum doesn’t work here so wash your own dishes.
Eeek, I hate them all.
@s0 I can see another useful part of that sign, that is generally applicable:
"Please consider others"

For those that can't follow my particular brand of absurd humor:
There are some common ways to answer a question "Yes, obviously, you ignoramus", including "Do bears shit in the woods?" and "Is the Pope catholic?"
There's an obvious comedic transposition: "Does the Pope shit in the woods?"
@gilesgoat “fellow” in this case is not the meaning as a noun (like in “he’s a handsome fellow!”).
It’s the adjective meaning, for “someone sharing an activity or trait with the first person”. Commonly used in the phrase “fellow travellers” meaning “other people who are also travelling”. It’s a way of adding politeness by saying “I’m including myself in the group”.
And in English, adjectives are not pluralised to match their nouns unlike many languages (“blue herons”, not “blues herons”).
Or in other words, the author of the message is also a toilet user.
