Please do not leave your hair, toilet paper or food waste in or around the sink. Thank you for your attention and assistance in trying to keep our washroom clean and sanitary. Photo taken by Jonathan Goldsbie in the men's washroom on the main floor of U of T's Rotman School of Management.......

Photographed by Nadia Halim in a women's washroom in the food court at York Lanes, on the York University campus. She writes "Seriously, there are some grave issues in our society surrounding death and dying, but this graffiti just made me giggle uncontrollably. It's that top sentence especially." Nadia titled the photo "Most Obviously Doomed Activist Cause Ever!" which we had a tough time disagreeing with, until we saw this.......

"Think more about working less." "Why? So you can be more depressed about having to work?" "This guy has the intelligence of a dog. He has to mark his territory. Sit doggy sit." Wisdom from the men's stalls at the Tranzac. Photos by Jonathan Goldsbie.......

On Monday morning, Astral Media unveiled prototypes of its new line of "street furniture" at City Hall. On Wednesday, we took a look at the garbage bins. On Thursday, the advertising pillars. Yesterday, the transit shelters. Today, everything else. (Also check out Karen von Hahn's disparagement of the street furniture in the Globe.)

When first we came across this graffiti on the wall of a U of T bathroom, it was merely a staredown: "Zombie Winston Churchill vs. Robot Hitler." When next we returned, they had obtained allies: "Vampire Stalin" and "Werewolf Mussolini," respectively.

The men's washrooms at the Fox Theatre, after a kickass screening of The Terminator. A nerdy guy in his late thirties is trying to strike up a conversation with the middle-aged man using the urinal next to his. Nerdy Guy: You know that part when the human comes in? Middle-Aged Man: Which human? Nerdy Guy: The guy, Kyle Reese. A stuntman had to fall six metres onto the concrete. Middle-Aged Man: (wondering where this......

Mark Renton knew what the ideal bathroom would be like: "Brilliant gold taps, virginal white marble, a seat carved from ebony, a cistern full of Chanel No. 5, and a flunky handing me pieces of raw silk toilet roll." Of course, like the rest of us, under the circumstances he'd settle for anywhere. Now, thanks to MizPee, you won't wind up in "The Worst Toilet in Hogtown" again. Just type in your location and......
