Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one who enjoys good bathroom stall vandalism.

Seriously, one of my favorite things about going to the bathroom in a new place is reading the various slurs, poetry and anecdotes on the wall. From the blatant racism to Metallica RULZ to the standard and ever-classic Here I sit, brokenhearted, tried to s*** but only farted.

Most people would brush this off as childish destruction of property, but it’s so much more than that. I see it as a great way to understand the views of the area I’m in.

For instance, in Schrank Hall North, first floor, it seems to be personal ad space for some students on campus, giving details on where and when to meet and even basic statistics such as height and weight.

If you don’t think this type of personal ad works, just ask Tommy Tutone. He found the love of his life by dialing Jenny at 867-5309.

All kidding aside, I really do find stall writing fascinating and a window into the psyche of our society.

Dane Cook made an interesting point about bathroom stall vandalism when he said it was some of the most ignorant stuff you’d ever read.

He’s absolutely correct, and the fact that it is actually carved into the wall really shows the passion these people have for crude topics.

Take a minute next time you’re going to the bathroom and check out the vast array of topics adorning your surroundings. Heck, if you’re feeling inclined, start up a conversation; sort of like a message board on the Internet, but in the bathroom.

Hold on, I can’t actually condone destruction of property, but the idea behind it is pretty cool.

Being a guy, I always wonder if women have any type of art on their walls. I really hope there isn’t anything as gross and perverse as the writing in the guys’ stalls, but sometimes I really wonder.

Any female readers who want to give me the heads up, feel free to write in.
