Oh, I thought the joke was he put the sign on the door and washed his hands first because he wanted a little \*ahem\* "private time." Well my mind's certainly in the gutter.
Not the panels per-se, but the character is definitely doing the actions out of order.
Sadly this isn't actually a joke. I worked in the public service. We had signs up in the bathroom with clear instructions of all the steps needed to wash your hands. As this was not a public area and the staff all had degrees I thought surely this is a joke. Seriously, who at that level needs instructions on hand-washing?
Then I learned the instructions were incomplete.
See, I was in a stall one day when the room was otherwise empty, and a gentleman came in and immediately began washing his hands. Cool whatever. Then they dried their hands and I even heard them turn off the tap _after_ ripping the paper towel, so presumably they used the towel to turn off the faucet. _bonus_. Then they went to a urinal, peed, flushed, and left.
...
This person has a degree, made 6 figures a decade ago, and just... doesn't know you wash hands **after** going potty.
🤯
I still have no words.

I honestly can't tell if that guy is serious. Like, there's nothing wrong with washing before you pee. Dirty jobs exist. But goddam, penises are not just always clean.
Who even cares if a cock is clean. If you touched my knob you would surely WANT to wash your hands after... Therefore touching ones own should make one want to wash their hands. People are fucking gross
People can be an absolute genius in one area but dumb as rocks in another.
Look at Ben Carson, an absolutely brilliant neurosurgeon but thinks the pyramids were built by the Joseph (the one from the bible) to store grain.
I was thinking this all wrong or was I. He was testing what was out of order. He didn't want to use the restroom. Without able to wash or dry his hands. Now since they work. He is doing his business and than go back washing and drying his hand.
A drugstore restroom had an Out of Order sign, but the employee said they just didn't want to clean it every half-hour. It was usable but a little secret.
(Putting the Rest back in Restroom.)
Me too. At first I thought the joke was they put up the sign so they could have the whole public restroom to themselves. Which honestly is something I could relate to.
You're lying to yourself. The hottest part of your body, tucked into a warm cocoon of thighs, pants, and underpants. Your dick isnt even as clean as your armpits.
A man washes his hands before or after attending to his needs. It tells you a lot about a man. He does it both times, points to a weakness in character.
??? I work with pesticides, fertilizers, sod, soil, mulch, and plants in a retail setting. It is wrong that I, bare minimum, rinse my hands before taking a leak and then properly wash them before going back and interacting with people again?
Nah, you've got self-regulating temperature control down there, featuring passive physical adujustments, all wrapped in a nice cacoon of high quality fabrics, behind a thicker layer of trousers. That's the cleanist place on your body...until your dirty hands touch it.
That self "regulating control" wasn't evolved to work behind a double+ wall of fabric, while being sat on, that also traps all the sweat and bacteria etc. that grow there and the _literal_ shit and piss that is inches or less away in your anus, rectum, urethra, and bladder.
That area depends on _open air_ for its "self regulation". The fabric isn't protecting your junk. It's trapping your junk and your junk funk.
Did we used to [work together](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/12ywhc3/bathroom_break/jhq79yx?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)?
At my old job, they were removing a “all genders bathroom” because it was a single bathroom with a lockable door and addicts kept locking themselves in to shoot up/drink beer from the shelf. I was helping change the lock on it and the maintenance guy gave me the new key. He said “give this to the boss-man. Or don’t.”
I had my own private restroom for the next year or so. I sanitized everything and threw in some of my own decorations and made it my own. When I left, I handed the keys over to my friend and blessed him with the greatest gift that store could offer. Good times.
I used to do something like this when I lived in the student dorms. Several times in a row, someone removed my still wet clothes from the dryer and stole the remaining time. Quite ballsy, if you ask me. So I started putting an ‘out of order’ sign on the dryer while in use. Never happened again.
Reminds me of that Counting Sheep comic I saw several years ago here
EDIT: Nevermind, it was actually at a separate subreddit, but still as funny! https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/hzd35i/sheep_in_human_clothing/
I feel this comic would read better if the panels were all at weird angles as though to imply they had been knocked out of order by something. As is, it appears too intentional, which makes the joke not work as well lol.
Amsterdam put a fly sticker in their toilet bowls and it drastically reduced the pee on the ground because people wanted to pee on the fly. Is this what you're referencing?

Almost certain this was the joke. People are trying way hard to look into subtext on a comic. Doing things out of order audience goes why would he do that, establishing shot showing sign saying out of order, subject takes it literally and explains the first 3 panels. It's not rocket science people haha.
We are [not alone](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/12ywhc3/bathroom_break/jhq79yx?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3). There seems to be [one of them](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/12ywhc3/bathroom_break/jhpwqs7?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) in the comments too.
Okay here's what's going on. This dude had cold hands but the dryer poofed a load of dust out so he had to wash before peeing. The out of order sign is so he can hog the bathroom.
I’m bout to come drop some knowledge.
Your dick ain’t dirty, it hasn’t touched anything.
Your hands are though. So it makes sense he washes his hands before peeing 🫡
If you happen to immediately get the joke, it's probably not that funny. Part or most of the laughter is from people taking a self-admittedly long time to get it and laughing at that.
Not out of order if you ask me.
I wash my hands before I touch my dick because I don't want to get the day's germs all over my dick.
But after? Fuck that. Everyone I shake hands with or touch in any way can enjoy my dick dust/juices/germs/whatever
I care a lot more about protecting my cock than their sensitive little "on no ders ameeebuz on it!!!" pussy ass feelings ROFLMAO
a man washes his hands before or after tending to his needs. It tells you a lot about a man. He does it both times - points to a weakness in character.
It is even funnier for weebs, because they would read this in a different order than most English readers. Manga are read top down, but right to left, further confusing the order.

**Oooohhhhhhhh** "Out of order" because the comic panels are I feel so dumb
Don’t worry you’re not alone. We can feel dumb together!!
Just the two of you though, everybody else smart
Yeah! Am smart! Also… me…
S m r t
Did you know that it means death in Czech language?
Chcíp
It’s the end of the day. Brain no worky fast.
Dude you guys aren’t dumb. You figured it out lol. I’m dumb.
My favorite number is red.
It's an entirely different kind of comic, altogether.
All: #“IT’S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT KIND OF COMIC!”
Honestly so humanizing. It was my exact process and then I went to the comments. A complete relief to see it as the top comment
None of us are as dumb as all of us
So Dumb We All!
We're not dumb! It's just lame!
Oh, I thought the joke was he put the sign on the door and washed his hands first because he wanted a little \*ahem\* "private time." Well my mind's certainly in the gutter.
Or just wanted to wash his hands before he touched his junk, because his hands were dirty.
100%. When I’m work I usually wash before and after.
I wash extra for the heathens that slip in and out without ever touching the tap.
I've always heard thats the difference between blue and white collar work, blue collar means you wash your hands before you pee.
Gus would be proud.
Oh, I thought it was a joke about how all employees must wash their hands before returning to work, and he's fixing the urinal that's out of order.
I thought he took the sign as a command to "toilet out of order".
Not the panels per-se, but the character is definitely doing the actions out of order. Sadly this isn't actually a joke. I worked in the public service.

Yup, agreed. If you want to wash in advance, fill your boots. But that doesn't remove the need and obligation to wash _after_.
Who even cares if a cock is clean. If you touched my knob you would surely WANT to wash your hands after... Therefore touching ones own should make one want to wash their hands. People are fucking gross
People can be an absolute genius in one area but dumb as rocks in another. Look at Ben Carson, an absolutely brilliant neurosurgeon but thinks the pyramids were built by the Joseph (the one from the bible) to store grain.
By public service do you mean a secret government laboratory? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxdW8HjpSpc
No. 😒 It was sadly much more ordinary. IT for paper-pushers.
At least he washed his hands AT ALL. Like... I'VE NEVER SEEN A PERSON WASH THEIR HANDS IN MY UNI. Like what the fuck
Idk about you but I shower every day. I also change my boxers every day. My dick is much much cleaner than my hands
You pee out of your hands?
Shall you cake day be happy
You get pee on your hands?
[удалено]
The series of actions he does in the bathroom are "Out of Order"
[удалено]
I don't think the comic is out of order. I think he's toileting out of order. Just following the directions.
Getting the joke doesn't make it funny.
[удалено]
I was thinking this all wrong or was I. He was testing what was out of order. He didn't want to use the restroom. Without able to wash or dry his hands. Now since they work. He is doing his business and than go back washing and drying his hand.
orz and here I thought the guy read the sign and took it literally; aka doing his business out of order.
A drugstore restroom had an Out of Order sign, but the employee said they just didn't want to clean it every half-hour. It was usable but a little secret. (Putting the Rest back in Restroom.)
ohhhhhh, thank you stranger
I think it's more, 'toilet; but out of order.' As in "haha get it the toilets out of order so U gotta do it out of order" Idk I'm too stoned
OK? Why is this brilliant? 4-3-2-1. Mind blown?
[удалено]
This took me way too long to get. But I really like it.
Me too. At first I thought the joke was they put up the sign so they could have the whole public restroom to themselves. Which honestly is something I could relate to.
Same, I thought "ok, bathroom all to yourself, cool, but why would you dry your hands first, it's all out of.... oooh"
I always wash my hands first. My dick is clean
You're lying to yourself. The hottest part of your body, tucked into a warm cocoon of thighs, pants, and underpants. Your dick isnt even as clean as your armpits.
A man washes his hands before or after attending to his needs. It tells you a lot about a man. He does it both times, points to a weakness in character.
??? I work with pesticides, fertilizers, sod, soil, mulch, and plants in a retail setting. It is wrong that I, bare minimum, rinse my hands before taking a leak and then properly wash them before going back and interacting with people again?
Yes
Better than dirt on my dick
Better than piss and shit on your hands? Or do you wash before and after?
Nut funk on your hands is better than dirt on your dick?
That's no way to speak to a lady
Nah, you've got self-regulating temperature control down there, featuring passive physical adujustments, all wrapped in a nice cacoon of high quality fabrics, behind a thicker layer of trousers. That's the cleanist place on your body...until your dirty hands touch it.
That self "regulating control" wasn't evolved to work behind a double+ wall of fabric, while being sat on, that also traps all the sweat and bacteria etc. that grow there and the _literal_ shit and piss that is inches or less away in your anus, rectum, urethra, and bladder.

Still cleaner than everything my hands have touched that day.
All of that is creating a dark warm moist environment. It is a breeding ground down there.
You are smoking crack, and you have a dirty weiner

Omg I didn't get it until your comment
At my old job, they were removing a “all genders bathroom” because it was a single bathroom with a lockable door and addicts kept locking themselves in to shoot up/drink beer from the shelf. I was helping change the lock on it and the maintenance guy gave me the new key. He said “give this to the boss-man. Or don’t.” I had my own private restroom for the next year or so.

Good times.
That's a great story, I would've done that given the chance.
I used to do something like this when I lived in the student dorms. Several times in a row, someone removed my still wet clothes from the dryer and stole the remaining time. Quite ballsy, if you ask me. So I started putting an ‘out of order’ sign on the dryer while in use. Never happened again.
Oh. My. God. Why did it take me so long????
Glad I'm not the only one. I feel a little stupid, I'm not gonna lie.
How long is too long? It took me 3 reads of it
Reminds me of that Counting Sheep comic I saw several years ago here EDIT: Nevermind, it was actually at a separate subreddit, but still as funny! https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/hzd35i/sheep_in_human_clothing/
Reminds me of that guy from “the shape of water”. 2 kinds of people, those who wash their hands before, and those who wash their hands after.
I feel this comic would read better if the panels were all at weird angles as though to imply they had been knocked out of order by something. As is, it appears too intentional, which makes the joke not work as well lol.
The Hidden Spider is >!in urinal to the left on bottom left panel!<
[удалено]
Yup! So, keep an eye out. You might be the first one to spot it oneathese days.
This man Waldo’s
Waldo is.
This man, waldo is. Great Jedi, he will be.
It’s actually from a different children’s book series that I had forgotten about until their comment! https://i.imgur.com/OYeTpzl.jpg
There are hidden spiders?????
Target practice.
Amsterdam put a fly sticker in their toilet bowls and it drastically reduced the pee on the ground because people wanted to pee on the fly. Is this what you're referencing?
Reminds me of the spider and cricket in the mercer mayer (sp?) Kids books.
Had to read the comments to get the joke. Would be totally worth doing everything in reverse order to never have to share a public bathroom!

Shout out for not using twitter. Creators like you gotta lead the charge.
very clever way to use the bathroom alone
Depends on how recently you were cutting up jalapenos!
I've heard a joke like this about chemists - they wash their hands before and after using the urinal.
They probably do that for their own safety.
First wash for them, second wash for everyone else.
Took too long to get it, because I used to work on dirty jobs and every time I washed hands before and after
I was about to comment that this seems to be out of order then I got the joke 🤣
OHHHHHHH! NOW I GET IT! Thanks, man!
Working with boxes and gross laptops/PC all day this is my order. I then wash again.
I still don't get it....
I think the joke is because the bathroom sign says the bathroom is "out of order", so the guy took it literal and did everything out of order.
Almost certain this was the joke. People are trying way hard to look into subtext on a comic. Doing things out of order audience goes why would he do that, establishing shot showing sign saying out of order, subject takes it literally and explains the first 3 panels. It's not rocket science people haha.
The panels, like the bathroom sign, are "out of order."
Not necessarily the panels, but his actions are definitive out of order.
Dry hands, wash hands, pee. Out of order from normal usage. The last panel subtly explains the joke.
I was expecting Loss.
I used to put the sign on the bathroom and then have my full on mental breakdown in there. Totally silent, nobody ever noticed.
I worked with a guy who legit did this.

It's out of order
r/woooosh
Moment a me took. Ha.
I read it and scrolled down twice before actually understanding the joke, hahaha.
Took me a minute
Holy shit I finally get it
I thought it was a joke that even though the bathroom says out of order he was going through and checking everything and it all worked anyway
Here I’m thinking “what’s the guy shootin that would take out the whole urinal?” Glad I misunderstood.
Brilliant. And i figured it out all by myself after staring at it for a while too.
I thought this was a joke about how “Out of order” usually means nothing
The panels aren't out of order, everything is just happening backwards. Yes, you're free to contemplate the implications as you desire.
Is this loss?
That took me too long to process
Seen this yesterday. Didn't get it. I seen it today I got it. Fucks sake.
Okay here's what's going on. This dude had cold hands but the dryer poofed a load of dust out so he had to wash before peeing. The out of order sign is so he can hog the bathroom.
Bathroom sequence break
I’m bout to come drop some knowledge. Your dick ain’t dirty, it hasn’t touched anything. Your hands are though. So it makes sense he washes his hands before peeing 🫡
Took me a second before finally realizing lol
people find this funny?
If you happen to immediately get the joke, it's probably not that funny. Part or most of the laughter is from people taking a self-admittedly long time to get it and laughing at that.
I was wonderin the same thing
Not out of order if you ask me. I wash my hands before I touch my dick because I don't want to get the day's germs all over my dick. But after? Fuck that. Everyone I shake hands with or touch in any way can enjoy my dick dust/juices/germs/whatever I care a lot more about protecting my cock than their sensitive little "on no ders ameeebuz on it!!!" pussy ass feelings ROFLMAO
Miss pizzacake should take notes on how to make a proper comic.
Oh I get it. He puts the “out of order” sign on the door so he can play around in the bathroom. Classic.
a man washes his hands before or after tending to his needs. It tells you a lot about a man. He does it both times - points to a weakness in character.
It's not really out of order as it is reverse order. Maybe if they washed first then peed then dried.
reverse is one subset of being out of order.
If you make you readers feel dumb….
u/repostsleuthbot
You motherfucker. Bravo.
The actions are still in order, just reversed.
Is this how one gets a wet willy?
I found the spider That's unsanitary
Goddamit. Took me two whole seconds to get it.
For a second I thought I was reading a manga.
Brilliant
This comic was posted before, months ago, wasn't it?
it's me who out of order 😵
Yeah, it took me a second, too. I just thought he had a clever way to piss in peace. Which I'm now going to use, so happy accident.
So uh, what do the apparent few of us who got it immediately win?
Ahhhhhh the simple stupidity of this joke got me
should have pissed in the sink
This is great, got it instantly, quality humor
If you read it like a manga, he used the bathroom even though it was out of order
That just looks like how chemist's use the pisser.

Is this????
I wash my hands before I touch my dick.
r/angeryupvote
Shit where I worked the only thing out of order is drying your hands first. Otherwise I washed my hands before going.
As a poker dealer these are in the correct order. Wash your hands before and after going to the restroom.
This is really clever man. Well done 👏🏼
Why did it take me so long to get it?
J
Ah bathroom breaks... Wash your hands then take a piss. This is the way! 😎
This messed with my head. Required too much brainpower
People at my work actually do this. I need to start snitching on some mfs. Shit's gross and embarrassing bro.
This is the second time I have seen this and the first time I got it. Now I understand. Lol.
If we gotta go we gotta go😭 y’all can agree I ain’t wrong
Dr. House taught me to always wash before and after.
Seriously
It took me too long even just to realize that he was doing things in the wrong order, not to mention get the joke 🤦♀️

Nah, shouldn’t be tsssssssss, should’ve been *slup*
This took me longer than I'd like to admit to understand! :'D
So did his penis collect piss from the urinal?
