Should I have made it a poll?
Nah but seriously I’d love to watch a serious 60 Minutes type journalist show where Mike Wallace calls phone#s in the mens room and sees where it goes.
Are people graduating to emails and IM handles yet?
There are phones in men’s bathrooms? I had no idea.
I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever seen a phone in a women’s bathroom.
Or are you saying cell phones?
You mean those things aren’t targets?
We had several girls around my city who were considered sure things. Some of the guys did get thier numbers off of restroom walls. So I would say yes, how often I have no clue.
I’ve always suspect that most of those telephone numbers posted on bathroom walls are “spite postings” or jokes, where someone leaves the number of an ex-lover, or a friend you want to mess up.
Of course, the best joke would be to leave the message “For a Good Time Call”, followed by the telephone number of NIST’s Telephone time-of-day service
For a good time, call 555-5555. You know.
OK, I totally misread the OP. Thanks for the clarification. I got up far too early this morning.
555-5555 does NOT put out.
No problem, it made my eye twitch too. If # was separate from Phone it would have been easier to read.
I keep getting a busy signal.
JFYI, Mike Wallace is dead. Though that would be an interesting twist, if they went all Weekend at Bernie’s with it. 
Everyone else is having a good time, I guess!
My assumption/understanding has always been that the phone numbers written in public bathrooms are usually meant to be funny or insulting; however in truck stop bathrooms they’re frequently real… if you’re looking for homosexual encounters.
Or 358-1212.
[The local number you could dial once long ago to get the local time.]
867-5309
I’ve never seen a phone number actually written on a bathroom stall but then, I don’t exactly scour public bathrooms for graffiti.
I saw one on cheezburger the other day that gave me chills:
“What if the cure for cancer is locked in the mind of someone who can’t afford education?”
Me too. I was wondering about all the ways you could have a good time with a phone in a bathroom. Came up with a few good ones, too.
Is this a stealth brag? Do you frequent a higher class of public toilet?
It is pretty hard to miss the graffiti sometimes.
I think he means, and he can correct me if I’m wrong, that he sees graffiti; he just doesn’t bother to see if there are phone numbers amongst the other stuff.
Same here. I haven’t seen a phone number in a while, though I have seen other stuff.
ETA: And yes, there are phone numbers in the girls bathrooms. I haven’t seen any “For a good time call X” for years and years and even when I did I wondered what the point is of putting it in the girls’ bathroom. (The point is one girl probably did it to another. This is middle school shit. Pun intended.)
