Following instructions

Growing up, I was not very good at following instructions. I felt like most did not apply to me. For instance, I'd color outside of the lines and walk on forbidden grass all the time. But growing older, I now see limits as a necessary reality of life. Needless to say I'm a changed man. I no longer color outside the lines, nor do I walk on forbidden grass (that often) anymore. But those pale in comparison to my latest triumph in keeping guidelines.

Last weekend, I went to a restaurant and when I finished my meal, I went to use their bathroom. There I found a sign beside the toilet and found myself in a predicament. When I saw it, I first thought, "I shouldn't follow this, it must be for someone else." But desiring to end my bad habit and being committed to obeying the rules, I quickly found the motivation to push aside my initial gut feeling and I'm glad I did.

Here is that picture:

Let's just say I put something(s) in the toilet and I did as I was told.
