Public Bathroom Graffiti That Brought Some Laughs To The Stalls

Culture | 3/7/25

Before there was Twitter and other social media apps, we had bathroom graffiti. It wasn't the best, but it was honest work.

People still draw things and write messages on stalls all over, but now, we have phones to take pictures of them. This is really the original Twitter...

That Eye Does Look Different

If it weren't for the addition of the eyebrows, this wouldn't have worked so well.

This is why bathroom artists are so underrated—because they make simple things very effective.

Imagine getting beamed up with your pants still down, and you haven't even wiped yet.

In most cases, people aren't trying to think of deep stuff put on them by others while they go number two.

That's for thinking about your things, not what a bathroom stall asks you.

This is pretty clever since the blue and red were presumably already there, waiting for this to happen.

Whoever wrote these sentences wanted pure chaos to go off inside some people's minds because these don't connect.

Whoever wrote this didn't have to remind everyone how gross using public bathrooms gets. I don't want to share surfaces with anyone.

Sometimes, you have to, and that's what sucks.

Sunday dinner should only be with people you are comfortable with and love. It sets the tone for your Monday.

If you aren't close with your nan, then I don't see this being a good idea.

I'd have to kick them if I saw someone doing the limbo dance under my stall.

Although, I don't think losing yourself in the bathroom is a great idea.
