What drives people to smear their feces on the walls of public bathrooms?

Because they’re dirty, inconsiderate shitbags.
No need for it.
Mental illness or drugs
Excuse me! I am an artist and this world is my canvas
i do it to feed flies and for art
How do I make a link to what I did? it didn’t involve feces, but it did urine. Check my comments
It’s not always intentional. I have, on several occasions, shit all over the wall of a restaurant bathroom after falling off the toilet mid blast.
It’s usually a combination of having diarrhea and lots of gas. There is no way to clean it up so I just clean myself as much as possible and just leave the bathroom for the employees.
Edit: I share my story and people down vote me, this isn’t meant to be bathroom humor or something I’m just saying if this has happened to me it’s likely has happened to others too.
A passion for the arts
Aa far as the toilet seat, a lot of people find public toilet seats gross, so they squat instead of sitting down. As a result, it’s easier to miss.
“Explosive” diarrhea can also splash quite a lot.
I want to know this too—it was a daily occurrence at Hobby Lobby—but damn every day. Some is oldness but some are mental illness —weird stuff
Don’t knock little Johnny he has talent
Mental illness
People are monsters. Disrespectful and disgusting
Mental illness
It’s art, you just don’t understand
I guess if there’s no toilet paper, the walls are the next best thing to wipe your hands on?
i used to work as a school teacher and at a boys and girls club in the states, we would have trainings all the time about how kids act and what their actions mean. maybe unrelated but i learned once that if a kid plays with their feces its normally because of sexual abuse in their family. no lie. to me at first this made no sense but then when i found out which kids were doing it, ill never look at it the same.
That being said, if youre talking about adults then thats a whole ‘nother topic — 🤮
Sick and twisted sense of humor. I worked in a convenience store that had a school bus garage nearby, so many of the drivers stopped in multiple times a day. Every day around the same time, someone was smearing feces on the seat, side of the toilet, wall, paper dispenser, sink, floor, and ceiling. We eventually watched the tapes (for outside the restrooms) to see who was going in and doing this disgusting act. It was one of the school bus drivers. The manager of the garage was told to notify all of the drivers that they would no longer be allowed in our store unless the culprit apologized and accepted a permanent ban from the store. The very next day he was in the store apologizing, though very half-assed, because all of the other drivers were furious. He accused us of not having a sense of humor, then we never saw or smelled him again.
Art is objective.
Nuts?
Control
Insanity?
I read this as faces and for a second wondered how I’d never witnessed such a thing.
That’s very common in those hole in the ground bathrooms at lakes and rivers. I’ve always been so baffled (and disgusted) by it. It’s also one of the reasons I like peeing outside.
Misguided attempt at humour?
Some people suffer from mental health issues or dementia. Some people are shitheads who don’t see the cleaner/ janitor as a human being.
Meth, could be mental health but mostly meth
WTF? Where do you live, seeing that?
It can be a form of protest too. See the H-Block dirty protests back in 1978 to 1981 Maze prison in Ireland. Various inmates wanted to be recognised as “political” prisoners but the UK government classified them as “common criminals”. They all ended up on hunger strike as I recall.
Cars drive people
I see boogers even more often. There is a roll of toilet paper right there. It has to be a mental illness or some sort of vendetta.
I’ve always wondered. I have a nephew who did this in school. He never could explain why that seemed the most logical action for him. He just said he was upset.
Crazy people are obsessed with poop for some reason
I’ve read a few times that it’s tied to SA as a child. I don’t study this tho. Only read it 10+ times. Maybe full of it?
Domination. Marking your territory. Establishing your position in the hierarchy….I assume. 😆 🤣
Poop remains in the toilet is different. Thats people either being lazy, or taking sick satisfaction.
Cave paintings done in poop is mental illness full stop
Demons maybe.
I read faces and nearly heaved! 🤢🤭😂
I guess it’s a weapon that sociopaths have
Is the toilet paper really thin? If they wiped their arse and the paper disintegrated, I could see someone wiping their shitty fingers on the wall as a kind of dirty protest.
Sometimes shitty people do shitty things.
Pettiness. I know someone who was denied using the bathroom at a certain sandwich place until he shown a receipt. Thing is, the mgmt knew he just came in and picked up and sandwich and went outside to eat it in his car. He walked back in to use the restroom and she acted like she never seen him before and said ”not without a receipt” (the receipt was in the car) when she was the one who just gave him the sandwich.
he explained that he knew she was being weird and made him go get his receipt just so he could take a shit. He may have shit on a piece of toilet paper he was holding in his hands and thrown it on the wall. If she doesn’t want ppl to act like an animal, don’t treat ppl like an animal.
Idk, that’s what my friend told me.
An extreme desire to go directly to Hell !!!!!!!!!!
Form of art i guess
The Jan 6 crowd dit it because they lost an election. So this is one possible reason.
Normally lack of toilet paper I assume
have you never been stricken with inspiration
Some say it’s a sign of past trauma
If you have to ask you’ll never know
This is a canon event in the military 🤣
Crack
Mental heath issues
Mental illness is the clear answer
Because their disgusting
I worked retail for a while and the women would always come to the store to explode and leave feces all over the inside of the stalls.
Over a decade later and I still dk what their malfunction is.
OP says they aren’t from the US. So where is OP from?
Ask the J6 crowd
It wards off the bathroom demons.
….because at the end of the day we are animals…..I don’t use public restrooms if I can help it
Art if it is Walmart.
One day I went to the bathroom in the back of Walmart. There was a smell but oh ho ho I was going to make a better smell. It was then when I looked inside the only available stall, that I saw it: a poop mural.
Someone had fashioned a mural made of poop. They made a scene of Poop Mammoth with Poop People chasing the Poop Mammoth with Poop Spears. The scene was quite detailed and even included poop flora and poop fauna.
The piece was even signed by the cave-poop-person. They signed it the way cave men signed their art: a hand then covered in poop so it leaves a perfect outline of a hand surrounded by poop.
Trauma or sexual abuse
A special connection to classical music.
Christmas spirit?
Immaturity . ” this is not my br ima pee on the floor n shit everywhere just bc i can & its funny, i wont need to clean it up hahahahaha “
So many people have said the art thing that I’m kind of concerned a few of them might be the culprits
Mental Illness
Good question! I’ve worked at a gas station, and this question still bothers me.
I don’t as
There’s shit, on the outside, of the torlet
Well, I’m not going to smear it on the walls at home. I’m not an animal.
Most people do not have respect for themselves. They will not respect anyone or anything.
That puddin’ ain’t gonna mix itself
Kids don’t think and don’t care until one of their mates points it out and laughs
mental illness
Lack of toilet paper after wiping to clean their hands but they don’t want to accidentally wipe it on their clothes when they go to pull their pants up.
Disregard for public service people who have to clean up the restrooms.
Mental illness or drugs.
Getting frustrated at the public service people for only stocking the crappiest toilet paper and not being able to actually get the toilet paper out of the dispenser because it keeps tearing into tiny pieces or because the people who installed the toilet paper dispensers put them so close to the toilet that they can barely shit without being uncomfortable or unable to reach inside to pull out the toilet paper to wipe their ass.
Usually childhood sexual abuse… Sadly this is a known thing.
The same thing that drives people to support Trump.
An ex girlfriend was working in a bar and she went the bathroom. She heard all this giggling coming from one of the stalls. When she went to investigate there was three adult drunk women writing on the wall in shit. She said it was the most fucked up thing she had ever seen. Why someone would do this is baffling, bt doing it as a group activity is completely batshit.
