Have you ever written anything on a toilet wall?

The bogroll holders at uni are manufactured by 'Scott'; one cultured vandal wrote "4 is a good album" next to the logo. I wrote "tilt is better" underneath. This is my first ever act of water-closet defacement. Anybody else guilty?

i wrote my blog URL in the toilets at The Foundry once, oh man i am lame.

No. Desks at school and carrels at the library at uni, but never a toilet.

Unfortunately, the only toilet graffiti I've seen which wasn't of the "I have a 10 inch cock" variety was "Let's play toilet tennis" on each wall of the cubicle and "Who is Armitage, and what is shanking?" neither of which could really be answered!

I once crossed out a phone number someone had scrawled with some kind of "for a good time call" and replaced it with the number of my best friend's ex.

Felt guilty and wrote over it the next day. Pathetic, huh?

Above the urinal at one of my favorite drinking establishments it is written: "M1k3 Sull1v4n hides tampons in his sideburns."

I didn't write that.

Sort of a weird situation, but I was once part of a roving pack of good-doing teenagers and at the end of one of our rotations, when another pack of suckers would be moving into our house, my friend and I painted the smallest bathroom (almost literally a water closet, I think it just had a toilet, maybe a sink, this was 9 years ago, sinks weren't popular back then) black with dark blue swirls and wrote out long passages from Nietzche in hard to reach places.

Once I wrote "for a good time call..." and put the phone number for an insurance company. I am rebel.

"M1k3 Sull1v4n hides tampons in his sideburns."

I have a memory of scrawling NTFC on a bog wall; it was a bog wall that was more 'football fans in da house, reprazent!' graffiti than 'I am a vandal' graffiti.

Has anyone ever actually rung the number on any of those "for a good time call..." things written on a bathroom stall? Well, apart from Jenny at 867-5309.

A long time ago I wrote on the toilet wall of a hotel in Cheltenham how I loved someone called Ian. The hotel was demolished six months later to make way for a shopping mall, and my relationship with Ian fell apart at roughly the same time.

There was a debate about the Iraq war on a toilet wall in Oxford that several people had added to and took up almost the entire vertical space of the wall. Half way down someone had written I LIKE BRITNEY SHE HAS NICE TITS. It was like reading ILX.

C J that sounds like an Alice Munro story.

― Huk-El (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I haven't seen that, Matt DC.

I think my name is scrawled on the wall of an irish bar in barcelona, vague flashes of memory are coming back to me.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 13:58 (twenty-one years ago)

i didn't write this, but read it on a bathroom wall:

"giving synths to the british was like giving alcohol to the indians"

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 13:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Two weeks ago I went down to our toilets near the bar and wrote "Please do not deface these toilet walls. They cost your Union money to repaint". I also wanted to add that the amount of racist and sexist bullshit on them (both male and female) was unbecoming of them, but I thought it might provoke an argument which would be counterproductive. I have yet to go and check to see if my notice had worked.

Once upon a time I took every opportunity I could to write these lines from the beginning of Une Saison en Enfer - Un soir, j'ai assis la Beauté sur mes genoux.--Et je l'ai trouvée amère.--Et je l'ai injuriée on bathroom walls. Then I stopped finding it bitter and I ceased my campaign to subtly deface the bathrooms of the world.

I wrote something mildly lewd in a Berlin indie club toilet about my friend, who was about to go to uni in the city. Very poor

I used to write "SATIN RULES" in the stalls in Hamilton Hall, Columbia U, early 90s. I caused an amusing graf thread debating general student body intelligence. Just on the eve of the internet.

I once wrote 'Kishon was ere' in a pub toilet in the hope that my friend Kishon would see it and think there was another Kishon out there. I have yet to meet another Kishon, and he's not attentive enough to have noticed it yet.

― mangA Kid (mangA Kid), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

no, but similarly during a rash of "question authority" bumperstickers on cars outside of the campus hardcore club, a friend and i, sharpies in hand, handwrote "why?" on each and every one of them. oh to be 17 again.

I used to write nonsense poetry in the bathrooms at college. I was mostly curious to see how people responded to it. I think mostly they didn't.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:08 (twenty-one years ago)

My blog is on a toilet wall.

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

That's funny, my blog is on toilet paper.

― St. Nicholas (Nick A.), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i once asked, in pen, on a university bathroom wall,
"how can anyone find genuine happiness in our hypersexualized, hypermediated world?" (i think i left out the crucial "every sign of worsening" bit but oh well). the first answer i got was "hyperventilate".

my blog is in the bog.

I once corrected the spelling in someone's else graffiti. Then I felt guilty and rubbed it out.

omg I am so middle-class.

I did once, but some bastard made a book out of it.

My favourite toilet art is where someone has added 'This is a haiku:' above a typed sign saying

Please do not flush green paper
Towels down the toilet

Condom machine at uni had "insert baby for refund".

I wrote GRACIOUS, GRYPHON and AMON DUUL on the wall of a local pub abt 10 yrs ago. It wasn't up for long.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 24 June 2004 12:04 (twenty-one years ago)

One bit of toilet graffiti that I rather liked.

'If the arse has fallen out of your word,
drink John Smith's and the world will fall out of your arse.'

It was in the public toilet at the Serpentine Cafe.

One other instance was on the back wall of our local swimming pool, where apropo of fuck knows what was written 'THOMPSON'S WIFE'S GOT BALLS' in big white sprayed letters.

It stayed there for years and years and indeed might still be there, as a result it's as much a part of my subconcious as the theme tune to Rainbow or something...

'If the arse has fallen out of your world,
