使い過ぎ

This photo is a little blurry taken with my old prepaid camera phone but it still has some Kanji in there that I would like to know.

お願い（おねがい）- Do us the favor
トイレットベーパー - Toilet paper
の
使い過ぎ（つかいすぎ）- Use too much
は - Topic particle
トイレ- Toilet
の
詰り（つまり）- Stopped/Clogged
の
原因（げんいん）- Cause
となります。- Will become
ご注意願います（ごちゅういねがいます）- Please be careful

Translation: Using too much toilet paper will cause the toilet to become clogged. Please be careful.

This sign is what I love about Japan! They can take a common sense idea and turn it into a small plastic sign to remind everyone to 'don't clog the toilet'.  At the 100 yen shop I bought a handful of signs for my friends and family for Christmas. They just said things like 非常口、化粧室、駐車禁止。Well everyone hated them and they didn't get it, BUT I wish they would of had this sign instead.
