Some people leave behind legacies. Others leave questionable messages on restroom walls. Public bathroom scribbles, toilet humor, and restroom graffiti have somehow become an unofficial archive of human boredom, misplaced confidence, and suspicious creativity.
Some of it reads like a desperate cry for attention. Some of it sounds like a philosopher who got lost on the way to a lecture hall. Right in the middle of this strange cultural museum sits bathroom graffiti proving genius loves toilets, a phrase that feels far more accurate than anyone would like to admit.
The walls may be dirty, the spelling may be tragic, but the commitment is impressive. Few art forms ask so little and reveal so much about humanity.
