Don't Bathe Your Phone Here

Barley, a dog, stands next to a water fountain that has a “no cell phones” symbol stuck to its side.
They say that every warning sign tells a story, and I’m a little baffled by this one. Yesterday’s post, sure: people in a waiting area who are on their phones are pretty loud and obnoxious. But who is hanging out next to the water fountain as they have a phone discussion? Is there some other story being implied here? Are people… washing their phones in public? 🤔
