Every public toilet has an alarm, but Italian hotels, in my experience won’t use rubber bath mats no matter how slippery the tub or shower.

Haha This happened to my daughter who pulled the wrong cord at a Uk University, set off the fore alarm and had the Uni evacuated.

This is one of the funniest stories I have heard in a long time !
Being a world traveller myself, I have almost seen and heard everything ! this is right up there with “donkey knocks picture taker off cliff in turkey and doney rider sues”….

I’m pretty sure that this cord signal is intended also for cases where a stranger barges into the bathroom and attacks the person in there–such as an unsuspecting woman.
