The 'No' way is what an African who had never seen a 'western' toilet would do. They only have 'squat' pans. When I lived in Zambia big hotels etc had 2 toilets 'Western' or 'Traditional' . They had that same notice in the 'Western' toilets.( Not that it made much difference!) The Africans never bothered to close the toilet door either as the 'Squat' toilets were communal 2 or 3 in a line.
