My wife told me that a mysterious new symbol showing ‘a person in the bathroom’ had appeared on our car, and then I saw what it really was.
A US Tiktoker has shared how his wife called him to ask what a mystery symbol lit up on the dashboard of his vehicle after it refused to start was, saying it showed “a person on the toilet”.
Jett Wade, who has more than 114,000 followers on the social media platform, shared the comedic moment after he asked his wife to send him a photo of the lighted sign, because its description left him baffled.
When he saw the image, he realized that it was actually the temperature gauge he was looking at…but the -4° freezing weather meant it also looked a lot like a person using the toilet.
Bathroom humor! TikToker Jett Wade shared the snap his wife sent him of a symbol ‘showing a person in the bathroom,’ saying she was confused as to what it meant.

Those who saw the image of the temperature gauge admitted they could see how the mix-up happened and said they would never look at a -4° symbol the same way again.
Sharing with his followers, he wrote: ‘My wife texted me to say that her car wasn’t starting and the dash was showing a sign of a person on the toilet.
‘Confused, I asked him to send me a picture…’
He shared a snapshot of himself looking exasperated after receiving the photo.


Since then, hundreds of people have commented on the post, with hundreds saying they agreed with Jett’s wife, and the symbol resembling someone on the toilet.
