The bathroom walls are not a community bulletin board

[Lace Neil Singer]

They should have done something, cuz honestly the mirror was cheap as chips and could have been replaced easily.

I did once have someone write in black marker "Lace is evil bitch" in the toilets; however, I'd rather be called a bitch than a slag personally... and that graffitti was removed very quickly. There was also a whole stall that was defaced with racist graffitti, and once someone wrote "I Love Sex" in red marker pen along the wall. But the nail polish graffitti was the worst.

Ironically, that school is now a very good school that parents fight to get their girls into.

Wusses. Whatever happened to carving your message into the stall?

Yeah I've been guilty of it... though, usually in bathrooms in the middle of West Virginia (aka Bumbleweedsville)

Friggin' lazy kids today.

I totally agree with this, but do have one exception to the rule. While writing about your hatred for ethnic groups and minorities is wrong, it should be allowed when dealing with a power-hungry snake with a company, like a grocery store chain. When I worked for Publix, we had this guy named Rick, although you had better call him Mr H****** or he would write you up, let alone fire you. One day, while I was on duty of cleaning the restrooms, which included the back ones off limits to customers, someone wrote "No dicks should be managers, so let's fire Rick!" My nickname for this guy was Rick The Dick and it fit well. In fact, I think this whole thing fit in quite well because none of the higher ups or in-charge personnel had anyone go and clean this off. Thing was, it was written in pencil, not ink, not with a Sharpie pen or Marks A Lot Marker. It was written with an erasable material, yet nobody felt it was important to get rid of it. You might wonder why Rick The Dick never did anything about it. Could be he wanted everyone to know his reputation, and if you got on his bad side (which that was all he had), he would definitely make an example of you.

Bathroom Graffiti

Two things here. First of all, where I currently work, there's a lot of racist remarks on the walls of the stall. And it is actually SCRATCHED in! I work in a small city that is a huge redneck cluster, most of whom are diehard racists.

One of the things etched in reads as follows:

F**K YOU N***ERS! WE DON'T OWE YOU S**T!!!

This was in response to someone scratching "Kill Whitey!" in another section.

Secondly, I've also seen my share of graffiti written by my fellow co-workers in employee bathrooms off-limits to customers. Most of it was typical ranting against jerk co-workers and Mgmt.. But, there was one incident that had the whole store up in arms. I mentioned in an earlier thread that a slacking co-worker had a habit of writing graffiti on bathroom walls. Well, he started a "list of faggots" one night that he added names to every now and again. Eventually, a high ranking manager used that bathroom one night as a matter of urgency and saw the list. He FREAKED! He immediately got the SM who was also on duty and showed it to him. He also FREAKED! They were both on the list along with a dozen or so other names.

So, these two started interogating all of the regular evening shift employees demanding to know who the culprit was. They also took pictures of the list before having it washed off, so they had documented proof. All of the testimony eventually came back to one guy, "B". They put it all together and noticed that he was worked mostly evenings, slacked quite a bit, and while slacking, was heading up to and spending lots of time in the bathroom. Also, other people noticed that the list would grow right after he left, mainly because they went in right after he left and saw that it grew. Plus, Mgmt. talked to everybody on the list, and they admitted having a work related or personal related issue with B in the past or currently. So, he was confronted with the evidence and promptly fired. Looking back, he was lucky that's all that happened! Some people were talking lawsuit and beating the s**t out of him as punishment instead!

Lace, I assume a "slag" is the Brit equal of an American "slut"?

The worst I ever saw was my junior year in high school, some inbred had taken a black Sharpie and written "THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!" on the bathroom wall and then drew a pathetic version of a Confederate flag under it (this was in midst of the race war at my school, when the farmer kids wore their blaze orange and decked all their trucks out with Confederate flags).

Bear in mind, this was in Wisconsin. *heavy eyeroll*

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Blas, I got those same morons down here by me.

One summer night we truck unloaders were taking our break outside to get some fresh air, and this big, piece of shit pickup truck came clattering into our parking lot, with two huge confederate flags flying off the back of the pickup bed. The two guys inside got out, took down the flags, and laid them down in the bed before coming into the store. When they returned, they put the flags back up and then drove off.

Another night, a couple of them tried to start a fight with some black and hispanic kids at the far edge of our parking lot. The black and hispanic kids won--handily.

They must want to turn Wisconsin into the Alabama of the midwest or something.

I believe it was Chris Rock that said, "The lower you are on the socio-economic ladder, the better you fight"

Gee, I never knew Wisconsin was a southern state... Is it warm there?

[Pinkie]

Having just returned to Michigan from Wisconsin today (amid snow flurries all damn day!) Wisconsin sure the hell wasn't warm while I was there. My son and I went to visit family in Wausau for Spring Break and all we got was single digit wind chills and snow....if I didn't know better, I would have thought it was Christmas and not Easter!

Wisconsin does have quite a few ignorant redneck hillbillies, especially in the smaller communities. I think there's some inbreeding that goes on

I guess I've lived a sheltered life, I can't recall seeing any particularly glaring bits of bathroom graffiti. Also, a note on Sharpies, a dry erase marker applied over the marks and then wiped off is rather effective in removing Sharpie. It might take a couple of scribbles, but it works

The Choice
by Annonymous

Here I sit,
In stinky Vapour,
Because some jackass
Stole all the toilet paper.

Shall I wait,
Or shall I linger,
Or shall I be forced,
To use my finger?

Wisconsin does have quite a few ignorant redneck hillbillies, especially in the smaller communities.

Pennsylvania also has quite a few ignorant hillbillies, mainly in the smaller towns. And yes, we also have the Confederate flag idiots. Last time I checked, PA was in the North, and the Confederates lost...so get over it

Don't I know it! Pennsylvania is just like Wisconsin for having aspirations of being the Alabama of the North.

Pennsylvania has Pittsburgh in the west, Philadelphia in the east, and in between it's like Alabama or Kentucky.

I cannot WAIT to relocate from Pennsylvania ASAP! It is the undisputed a**hole of the nation!
