What’s the last thing you read on a bathroom wall?
In the Duane Physics building of CU Boulder (Colorado) some clever mind is filling the grout around the urinals* with great lines like “Groutcho Marx,” “Got grout?” and “What’s eating Gilbert Grout?”
I see he is not original , however.
So whats on the wall while you’re on the stall?
*Incidentally, laughing makes you pee harder.
In a Bathroom at NM Tech:
Neverending
Mental
Torture
At my residence, Health Services has a bunch of posters put up in the bathrooms. One can read about pubic lice, HIV or genital warts in the comfort of a cramped bathroom stall! In my favorite stall there’s: “Did you know? 25% of women who have intercourse without using protection at any time during the cycle will become pregnant in one month.” and another one called “Condom Comebacks”. No one has defaced them as of yet…
I once saw:
“Come and have a poo in the toilet.”
Hey cool! An entrepreneurial young toilet getting out there and advertising itself. One day, it may be the CEO of a large toilet empire.
I have a few of my classes in the same building on campus so I’ve used a particular stall of a bathroom numerous times.
I forgot the name, but it says:
( somebody’s name)_ smell like shit
Yes, smell. Not smells. Smell. Is it a command? “Hey you, smell like shit. Now!” Were they rushing and forgot the s? Are they just stupid? (Likely, since they wrote that particular idiom on a bathroom stall)
Not the last, but likely one of the first things I read on a bathroom stall was that “Ronnie Reynolds is a Pervert”. Now, I have no clue who Ronnie Reynolds is, but I can tell you that for the last 40 years, he’s been known to me as a pervert. Poor guy.
Slight hijack, sorry, as this wasn’t in a public toilet, but your post reminded me how idiots’ graffiti can backfire - years ago, on the side of a building by a railway line was, in huge letters:
ASIANS TAKES JOBS
“Little wonder,” I thought, and I suppose every other passing train passenger thought likewise.
My sister called me up the other night from Washington D.C. the other night (she goes to grad school there, I’m in northern PA) to tell me about the saying she read on a bathroom wall. I’m sure we’ve all heard it before, but it was new to her:
“Duct tape is like the Force: it has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together.”
I’m mostly rather amused that she felt the need to call me up from a couple states away to tell me about it.
There are grout puns all over the place at UCSC, it’s rather amusing.
Freshman year at one of the public toilers near my dorm, there was a huge discussion going on one of the walls. Someone wrote something inflammatory, someone replied, and below were many different threaded replies. I forget what the topic was, something political I think. I found it rather amusing that an intense political discussion was happening on the bathroom wall. I was disappointed when they finally cleaned it off.
Grout puns aplenty in the men’s room at the Elysian Brewery in Seattle. My favorite:
Grout, Grout, Let it all out, These are the things you can do with grout, come on…
My favorite is on the bathroom wall at the local courthouse:
“Only GOD can judge me!”
Somebody else wrote:
“He did, that’s why you’re here.”
‘recycled shotguns’ was scrawled on the mens’room wall of the Nowhere Bar last night.
I dunno what it means.
In Engleman Hall (old architecture building) at UWM:
Acropolis Now!
“Beware of senior civil serpents”
giggle
My favorite writings-in-grout are a pair:
“It freaks me out to write on grout.”
“It freaks me in to write this thin.”
Not in a bathroom, but scribbled between the bricks on the wall of my Calculus class, and spanning the area of a couple of rows of seats is written, in tiny letters, over and over again… “WALLY”.
Near the “top” seat row of this, someone else (or at least in a different pen) scribbled “Who the fuck is WALLY?”
Next to that, it reads “Dude, it’s WALLY!”
I found it hard not to laugh out loud when I read that!
What sort of putz would write WALLY?
Hehe I was very, very tempted to write ::putz:: next to it too! I was worried someone would see me do it, though… had I been alone, I just might have done it!
Nice!
