You gotta get back in line

But I ordered the Family Size.

I’m Korean, and I recently went to Korea to visit some of my family members. When we took a train from city to city, COMPLETELY SILENT in there. In America, I wouldn’t be surprised if somebody started a food fight in there.

America is a litigious society, that's why.

Well there's like 333 million of us some of that number is bound to be dumbasses.

The difference, I believe, is that such use restrictions on such properties in the U.S. are typically controlled either by legislation or lawsuits (i.e., someone hurt themselves skateboarding, so now the property is legally required to prohibit skateboarding). "No adimittance after dusk" can mean, depending what state you are in either, "It is prohibited by law to be found on this property after dark" or simply "hey, you fall in a hole, that's your fault. Don't sue us." The result is that Americans often believe either restrictions are mere legal technicalities in the first place and "What's it to you, Karen?" or, to your precise example, someone might figure skateboards are much harder to control than roller skates and thus pose a much greater danger to others and not perceive that you simply hate to see teenagers having fun. (I'm teasing about that last part, of course.)

LOL...

What about those Granma's and their slippers they hit you with?

I know! It’s oddly accurate.

Being wailed at by a mythical female lrish death fairy? OK, that would be "bansheed"...

Pork.

It's a warning, not an instruction. XD If you press twice, it will overflow.

It says the same in Chinese. But I've seen a lot of signs with funny puns in Asian countries. Like one for example in a karaoke bar in china that was an official reminder from the police. It says: Don't start a fight. If you lose you end in the hospital, if you win you end up in jail.

"The number of count shall be three!" 🐎🥥🥥 🐇💣

I think you're right, but it just sounds funny, as if they're saying, "If you want to cause a flood, here's how:"

I can’t read the Japanese but the Korean basically says the same!

I guess, "Press once for 1 cup, and twice for continuous flow." Doesn't make sense but...

Natalie, When I read the post, what came to mind was a very nice buffet breakfast I had at a hotel near the airport in Incheon Korea. They had a coffee / espresso machine that actually made very good coffee. In this case the buttons were more about type/flavor than size. But my point is all the cups were the same size and not that big. If there was some button to make more come out, they would have overflowed.
