Or those beautiful people who pick their noses and wipe the residue off their fingers and onto the cubicle walls. Even better when the problem gets bad enough for the cleaners to make a request for the offenders not to. Better again that this occurs in local government offices :rolleyes:

Some people are funny about touching anything with their hands in the bathroom. Maybe the guy just dumped his package, stood up and moved over to the TP roll on the wall, positioned his mud maker right over it and swayed his buttock back and forth.  
Oh, and when I first saw this I was thinking “Hyperelastic Poop?”

Not the office cubicles, but the toilet cubicles.

While I wasn’t at the event, I image [this](http://www.injersey.com/news/prom/1,1465,0,00.html) “Prom Mom” wins the “I left the bathroom in the grossest state” award.
