Whiskers The Great and Terrible@Shrigglepuss finally an opinion I can get behind
Graham C@Shrigglepuss when I was at Newcastle Uni 20 years ago there was a men's cubicle in the union building which had grout themed graffiti written in the grout. Eg grout damned spot, in grout we trust etc. It was a joy to read and became a rite of passage destination for female alums to go in there and read it after so many blokes talked about it. It spread across a whole wall, all restricted to the grout where it couldn't be washed off.

Marc "Anarchy" Godin@Shrigglepuss Sometime in the late '90s or early '00s I found a book on gay culture and there was a whole section devoted to toilet graffiti, with photos of a toilet stall partition tracking the evolution of a particular set of "shit posts" (my pun) building on and arguing with each other.
I can't remember the book or the author, but I will always remember that section.
@quietmarc this is super cool! Like a timelapse sort of thing?
@Shrigglepuss Yeah! The researcher for the book caught a pristine wall with one bit of graffitti and then returned to take photos over time. It was a mix of generic grafitti ("for a good time call...") and hyper-specific gripes, humour, cat-calls, etc. I wish I could remember any details of the book or I would share them here. A search brought up a research article from 2003, but the book I'm thinking of I read before 2001 when I moved cities.
@quietmarc I love that they had the foresight to document that
@Shrigglepuss There was even iirc an ongoing discussion about philosophy sprung out from a correction to a scrawl about something else.
