Any Assistance?

It can be tricky to get the signs right in loos.  Here's the double bonus from a national coffee shop chain.

1. So "Please pull cord for assistance".  But what sort of assistance is reasonable.... where to draw the line.... That sign is intended to be associated with the emergency pull cord of course, but is off the side.

2.  And "Please only put toilet tissues down the toilet".  That's to discourage things like nappies which cause blockages.  But the word "only" clearly restricts anything other than tissue.  Surely the purpose of the visit to the small room is to provide some surplus body output for the pan......so what to do with that if the only thing that can go down the loo is toilet tissues?
