Social Experiment # 1

So I was bored one day at school and decided to write something on the bathroom walls. I wrote, "I love shitting here! - 9/24/09" I really wanted to see what kind of reaction I would get. My hypothesis was that people would tag up the walls no matter what, but I figured there would be at least some mention of how awesome it is to shit there. They will tag up for two reasons;
1) They will want to put in their two cents.
2) People want their voice heard no matter where they are.
3) It really is the best place to take a dump on campus!


Here are the results...

My initial things that I wrote:





Eventually there was more:







I went in last week to see how it was going and the cleaning crew decided to paint over it.... fuckers! Fortunately, the movement did not die. I went in there today to check on it. Here are my findings:







In conclusion, my hypothesis was correct! People who see something written on the walls - even something about taking a dump - will want to put in their input and be heard.... no matter where they are. Overall, I must say this was a successful experiment. Although I did not take in to consideration that the cleaning crew would paint over it. I wanted to record my progress over the whole semester and have a whole mural dedicated to how awesome it is to poop there. I'm not sure whether I should just finish my experiment or continue with it til the end of the semester. Your two cents will be greatly appreciated!

I just realized I have one of my college professors as a friend on Facebook (where I always post links to my blog) Hopefully you'll appreciate the social experiment, and not see it as vandalism, Professor Symister! After all, you are a Psychology professor!

  1. I love this! (insert hearts here) My favorite shit stall is covered with conversations about Disney movies. Of course, I had to add my two cents in about The Lion King. <3
