Okay, I’m not sure this is a real “kludge”; I did something like this in our bathroom, when I was caulking the sink after installing in on a new vanity. Maybe the sink in the picture has just been caulked (or fastened to the wall), and the stool & spacers are there to hold it in place while the stuff hardens.
I wish I had a camera with me years ago when I stopped in a Dairy Queen restroom in a rural area. The sink was entirely supported by an intricate base of PVC pipe. Not quite as impressive as a stool in one way, but more impressive in that it took actual effort to construct.
yes, but that was your home, not a lot of random people going into your bathroom i would guess.
this looks to be a public restroom, and if indeed the stool was there to support the sink while it was setting, then they should have just closed the bathroom until it was done.
even with the note, some idiot would move the stool, injure themselves then sue because the bathroom was unsafe. after all, the note does not explain WHY the stool shouldn’t be moved. BAM! the company is out millions of dollars because of some idiot.
anyway, i wonder if this is in the same bathroom with the toilet cutout in the door?

…are you stupid? they did that because it’s a 2nd photo taken of the note on the stool which they just included as another layer in the photo. DUH
I am the one who submitted this photo taken on my iphone, it was not photoshopped except to add a clearer picture of what the sign said. This was taken at my local bar and grill and yes, that is a garbage bin not a toilet.
But I gotta go real, real bad!!! (Get it? “Move stool”?)
I guess it’s cheaper than actually fixing the sink.
“Please don’t drop sink on your foot. Mngmnt.
You know, I have never felt the need to sit down while I wash my hands after using the restroom.
Oh, and btw, totally photoshopped. Look at that yellow arrow and the square around the sign.
@Paddy
That was my first thought too.
@Daniel
Nice one.
that note makes me WANT to move the stool
Good thing this sign doesn’t appear on the toilet.
@wind
Me too!
Must… resist…
BWA HA HA!
Problem: jerry rigs, not Jury rigs (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jerry-rig)
It’s not a real stool. It’s a prop.
what is the problem with that?!
chant the sink sit for a while?
Don’t move the stool. Don’t even tap it.
He shoots, he scores.
Again.

Wow. This sink has been so bad that it’s not only been boarded, it’s been made to go sit in the corner in time-out!
Just tap in it, just tap it in. Done.
If the stool is removed, the basin might sink
Thanks for the advice.
OWW MY FOOT!
But what if I want to change the lightbulb?
@JH
Then you stand on the door, or make a zip tie ladder.

Maybe this is one of those new pedestool sinks.

In Indonesia, the punishment for bad puns is caning. I’m just saying.

I think they just put the stool there so someone would hide the toilet w/ the plastic bag in it (behind the ‘shopped yellow box)
This is just a conspiracy by greedy fatcats! Stick it to the man! *yoink* OW!

@Jason

Well at least the stool has lumbar support!
@Derrr
Lesson 1: Sarcasm
be sure to study! I want a 3 paged report by the morning.
but note about pic:
I would so want to mess with this if I walked in this bathroom.
but they did say please, after all…
@Derrr
I think you forgot to put a smiley face after your comment showing you know these guys are kidding.
Way too funny. I’ve heard scarier quick fix stories!
Its a conspiracy i say!!! All put on by greedy corporate “Joe-the-plumber” types!!
Give me “cash for crappers”, or something like that…
“Well at least the stool has lumbar support!”
and the WIN goes to Big Frank!

Haha! I think this is my local bar in Clarkston…
Shucks! Sometimes the only reason I’m IN the bathroom is to move a stool.
Doesn’t the stool go under the toilet, not under the sink? Ah, the drunks of today.
Where there is a mini-explosion in the bathroom, someone has moved a stool.
