That reminded me of bathroom graffiti I'd seen long ago once in Pittsburgh and then somewhere else entirely: scrawled into the grout between the tiles were the words "GROUT ART RULES!" and "ART GROUT DROOLS!" posted by not_on_display at 8:18 PM on November 9, 2008
In all of my 56 years, I have never written anything on a bathroom wall. Does that mean I'm weird?
There used to be a whole bunch of grout puns written in the grout of the wall of the men's bathroom in Powell's Books, in Portland, Oregon. A few months back they erased it though, which made me sad, because some of them were about as entertaining as a pun can get. posted by Caduceus at 8:27 PM on November 9, 2008
Hey what a coincidence, I have been reading about May 1968 in France this weekend and some of the grafitti that was all over the walls there.
Years ago I was shopping at Boeing Surplus. Inside the huge facility was a special cutting tool room which had higher-value merchandise, was fenced off, and a employee in charge of just that section.
I was standing before a chest of metal drawers, and I saw that the bottom drawer was pulled out slightly. There was a small piece of masking tape on the top edge of the drawer with something written on it. It was so small I had to fully squat down to read it.

From the bathroom of a physics building of an east coast university: "Heisenberg might have been here." posted by one_bean at 11:48 PM on November 9, 2008 [2 favorites]
One of my favorites was in the women's bathroom at the Hole in the Wall in Austin:
