Why it's built this way

The notes match the numbers above.

  1. 1
    Favor de + infinitive is the typical wording of Mexican signs: please (don’t)…
  2. 2
    tirar = to throw (away), not “to take off”.
  3. 3
    In many places in Latin America toilet paper goes in the bin, so this sign is common.
