You may be guilty of adding graffiti on a bathroom wall, or two – and according to Psychology Today, 75% of people polled admitted to having written messages on bathroom walls at least once – you can take solace in knowing you are not alone! Psychology Today goes on to say that this type of 'creative writing' has to do with a person's inner desire to let loose of their anger/desires/fantasies etc that the person would not choose to share, otherwise. Quotes on bathroom walls allow a point to be shared without the consequences of in-your-face judgment or ridicule. Additionally, one who leaves a quote behind on a bathroom wall feels a sense of empowerment since he or she knows the quote will be read by hundreds or thousands. That person has have left his or her 'mark', and it serves as an ego enhancer.
Writing and finding quotes on bathroom walls is nothing new, at all. In 1731, an Englishman who went by the pseudonym of “Hurlo Thrumbo” actually wrote a book about the colorful readings he had come across within public toilets – one can only imagine what those dingy rooms must've looked like. His published work was entitled, The Merry Thought: Or, The Glass Window and the Bog-House. Interestingly, other writings concerning 'poo-poetry' have been traced back to 1st-Century AD. During that time, the Roman Poet Martial told a rival writer that if he wanted his work to be published, he should get his material from bathroom walls – or, so, the story goes.
