Dividers should be painted in some sort of Jackson Pollocky design that obscures anything written on it.

When is it okay to be offended by bathroom stall graffiti?

I mean, come on. That’s some of the most pathetic shit I’ve ever heard.

No, it would look like just another piece of shit painted on by a shitty person, and would not offend me personally in the least. Well, all outside “wall art” offends me, but I wouldn’t care moreso because of the subject matter. Surely your skin can’t be that thin.
