Based on this example — spotted by Erin in the employee restroom of an AT&T Store in Los Angeles — I think the Kiwis have a clear edge over us Yanks…at least when it comes to smartass bathroom snark.

That dried mucus was… no, I won’t. I won’t say it.

I hope the smartass wannabe ponied up and tore all the stall doors off. Now THAT would make whatever was done in there “performance art”…

Wow! The complainant has quite the detailed idea about how those boogers got there!
Anyone else notice that the noter complains that bathroom walls are not the place for tissues? Also isn’t booger storage the issue, not extraction? Sheesh this noter fails many competency tests.

I suppose piss on the floor and unflushed floaters are “performance art” also? If so, your art is a load of crap that doesn’t deserve to be pissed on or sneezed at!

This one time at band camp the arts & crafts counselor ran out of glue and macaroni, so we had to make our greeting card art with boogers.
Turns out, construction paper has just the right texture to grab and hold a booger really well, as long as there’s a bit of snot on it.
Wasn’t allowed to go back to band camp after that year though.

If you need to extract dried mucus from your nose, please use a tissue. The bathroom walls cause the flavour go horrible.

Nose-picking is fast becoming a lost art.
Remember when it seemed that 60 to 70% of drivers had a finger up their nose poking around for the Mother Load?
Now, they’re all on their cell phones when they drive, which begs the question…where are all the boogers they used to wipe under their driver’s seat going these days?
There sure isn’t enough restroom wall in the world to cover it…or should I say be covered by it?!

Great. Holiday baking season is almost upon us, and someone, somewhere will substitute mucus extract because they’re out of vanilla!
I’m steering clear of pound cake this year.

I’ll expand my horizons to artistic interpretation of the splats your nose makes against said wall.
I’ll simply be exhibiting a great homage to Dexter Morgan in literal format.

If the guy isn’t wasting paper on boogers, does that mean he’s going green?

I wish I hadn’t read either the note or the comment string quite so soon after breakfast.

How is the notewriter sure it’s mucus? It could easily be… ummm… another bodily secretion. Some people get really excited over their IPhone.

Boogers on walls are gross, however its better than other shit they could be painting with.

So is it okay if I extract wet mucus from my nose and put that on the walls?

I’ve done this whole ‘performance art’ thing, as far as wiping/smearing/blasting boogers onto stall walls. It’s better art than the shameful people who go in there and write on the stall walls. I still cannot get rid of this horrid rhyme, so I’ll share it with you.
“They washed the walls
and flushed my pen,
but the shit-box poet
has struck again.”

I wonder if any of the nose miners were from Chile.

Am I the only one who thinks the note writer was being a little snotty?
