Hilarious Bathroom Graffiti That Will Brighten Your Day

Graffiti. We often find them behind public restroom doors and wonder what was going through the heads of the people who wrote them. Most times, they’re amusing and make you stay longer than intended in the toilet, but always for the right reasons.

“Beware of limbo dancers” is a pretty standard graffiti piece in many restrooms. Apparently, this is a warning to toilet users to be cautious of people who peep under toilet doors. If you think this is advice to take lightly, think again.

This graffiti reads, “Since writing on bathroom walls is done neither for critical acclaim nor financial gain — it’s the purest form of art.” We are thankful for this beautiful soul who reminds us that sometimes we overlook the fact that graffiti is the purest form of self-expression and that all art is art.

At first glance at the title, “Things I hate,” you’d imagine that this person needed to release their frustrations as a form of emotional release. But look again, and the pun in this graffiti will sneak up on you.

“If you ever feel powerless, just remember that a single one of your pubic hairs can shut down an entire restaurant.” This is probably the single most humourous graffiti you’ll ever see. If you’re having a good day, seeing a funny piece on the wall makes you even happier.

Is it typical for restrooms to have no mirror above the sinks? But seriously, some public toilets, like those in Disney World, have a good reason for not having mirrors.

“Dance like no one’s watching, and poop like no one is here” is good advice. Because isn’t it absurd that there’s so much anxiety about doing something as natural as using the restroom when others are nearby?

The things that make us feel connected to others differ from person to person. For some, it may be shared values; for others, a positive attitude, similar interests, etc.

“I would not pee here again.” While we have no idea what happened to this person, we can imagine their plight when we read this. The thought of using a public restroom in a random place is already stressful, but going in and confirming your fears is even worse.

We know Canadian graffiti when we see one. While many people see bathroom graffiti as a chance to go wild and be vile, Canadians like to do theirs with a dash of positivity. With Canadian graffiti, all you get is words of encouragement, wisdom, and lots of love.

“Don’t force it.” Whoever wrote this must have been having a hard time attending to their nature calls. We’ve all been there. But this isn’t just about having difficult bowel movements. It’s advice that’s valid for anyone going through unforeseen circumstances.

“Get ready for the possibility of people dating robots.” Right now, this doesn’t sound like it’s ever going to happen but think about all the things we once thought were absurd but are now our reality. 

This one reminds us of how differently we experience things: same restroom and two conflicting reviews. There’s a lesson here for business owners — always do the best you can, and don’t let negative reviews wear you down.  A 1-star review will transform to 5 stars if you don’t give up and keep improving.

This one says, “Morgan is the Chernobyl of the toxic masculinity.” According to the United Nations, “The accident at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor that occurred on 26 April 1986 was the most serious accident ever to occur in the nuclear power industry.”

This one left us a bit confused because either this person meant to write “regrets” or knew precisely what they were doing.  “Live with no regrets” reminds everyone to live their lives to the fullest, learning from failures instead of being crushed by them.

For many people, the restroom is a personal space for peace. And while they won’t mind a hilarious graffiti or two, why would anyone want to discuss idealizing the past and their reasons for doing so? Sometimes, we just want to do our private business as peacefully as possible.

This piece is a simple but very hilarious prank that shows us just how easily our minds can be manipulated. It asks us to look left, but most of us subconsciously followed the arrow and failed the easy test.

Only Harry Potter lovers can relate to this one, and if you aren’t one – oops! Imagine the Ministry of Magic’s official entrance is somewhere in Whitehall’s underground toilets. You might “magically” find yourself in the Ministry once you pull the lever and run into Mr. Weasley!

The human brain is programmed to see faces in everyday objects. It’s called “Face pareidolia,” which reveals much about the brain’s capacity to pick up on social cues. This person was clearly having one of those moments assigning elephant-like characteristics to a coat hanger.

This one tells us that it’s not all “sugar and spice and everything nice” when it comes to face pareidolia. Yes, we’ve had a pleasant selfless elephant ready to sacrifice its trunk to keep your coat, and you do your business. But what about a fierce-looking octopus ready to bounce you out if you misbehave?

Whenever we see one graffiti answering a previous graffiti, we know we’re in for a jolly good ride. This one didn’t disappoint, either. The first person wrote a cliched quote, but the second person didn’t subscribe to it.

We have no idea what was happening in this person’s head when they wrote it. But we hope they’re the only ones seeing the similarities between a vat for baptizing babies and a sink for washing hands.

We’re all in for self-expression and creativity. But when the attempt to try new stuff fails so badly that it’s hilarious, we have no choice but to laugh till we drop.

This restroom is for males, and you already know where the finger is pointing – that’s right, now you aren’t laughing as hard as the instructions say, are you? Talk about hitting below the belt—literally.

What’s the one thing other people do that makes you cringe? Is it dying their hair in a fake blond color, wearing sunshades at night, or wearing uncomfortable clothing? Could it be lying about having no makeup on or having kitchen utensils and plates scraping against each other?

Remember when we talked about cringey things? Forgive us; we forgot to mention how cringe-worthy public restrooms are. For example, seeing the stall locks broken and the floor littered with toilet paper can ruin your entire day. 

Here’s another episode of graffiti answering graffiti that we find amusing. The first person tells you how beautiful you are, and while you are still yet to fully bask in the compliment, another person drops a bombshell — your admirer is drunk.

This person has had a very rough day. But something isn’t adding up. We like to think the everyday pigeon is an innocent-looking bird that wanders about with its peers, banking on the goodwill of strangers to enjoy some corn.

Morpheus’ popular “red pill or blue pill” quote goes like this, “You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”

One bad decision often leads to another, and that’s what we think this one is trying to explain. Remember that time in college when you didn’t prepare enough for your test and realized you would fail?
