I knew several people that would throw wet, wadded up TP onto the ceiling tiles like a nasty paper mâché.

Back in the early days of YouTube there was a dude called the yellow pee.pee monster and he would go in and just hose down an entire public bathroom in places like barnes and noble or taco bell. He had at least 7 or 8 videos like this. I wouldn't say it was entertaining per say but it was a fascinating character study.
Edit: apparently someone archived them
Motherfucker must be like 10 years old
Huh...I guess I remember this dude. Interesting that someone decided to archive these.
I'm as surprised as you are, I was expecting to find an encyclopedia dramatica entry or something when I googled it. Maybe it was him.
We had someone at our office who took a large dump right in the middle of a closed toilet lid, and just left it there for someone else to deal with. It's not even a shared or public access building, we're the only company there, like 40 people on that floor at max.
Three times in a few months.
I left before they managed to catch him, because it took that long. Don't know how why he did it, but I still can't wrap my head over it. Because from what I've heard, it was not an intentional "I want to get fired, fuck all of you", but he claimed accidents?
sounds like a fetish thing.
when malice can't be attributed and incompetence is impossible, it's usually an act sexual in nature.
Malice is still a possibility, though. He was getting some kind of revenge on everyone around him, and then didn't want to face the music when he got caught.
Some people care about nothing but themselves, once they are done with something they will destroy it or damage it so nobody else can have it or the use of it. It's kinda like the kid who would spit on their food even if they didn't want it so nobody else would want it.
Reminds me of the crap that happened a few years ago with teens going into stores and recording themselves opening up the ice cream, licking it, then putting it back in the freezer.

Since she was a juvenile she only got 30 days. But it encouraged others to do the same thing for their attempt at 5 minutes of fame.
Is there a psych term for that? I've definitely known folks who are ridiculously spiteful like that.
In the case of teens, it's usually just a case of boundary pushing. I did a lot of property vandalism as a teen, because bored and angry. It was also something I only did socially, as in with friends, and yeah we all did it because we were bored and angry and smashing and breaking shit feels great.
It all stopped once we got jobs, cars and had more freedom, which meant we were not bored and angry anymore. Also we started doing drugs to fill the void. When we were pre teens we didn't have access to drugs. So going to some junk lot or construction site and smashing up shit was the way to get high.
And yeah, of course as 12 year olds, we had no notion of how our actions might have impacted other people. The one thing we were super careful about was fire though, we never lit shit on fire because we know that could have very bad consequences.
I'm not sure if there is an official term for it, but it falls under pure "spitefulness" or a "dog in the manger" mindset.
Everyone did stupid stuff when they were young, but there's a big line between kids making noise out of boredom and people acting with total spite toward total strangers. Doing things that can cause direct physical harm to others and acting indifferent about it seems to be more common these days. The number of hit-and-runs in the news is a simple way to track it, IMHO.
Maybe he forgot his poop knife?
Not with his two broken arms.
Pfft, he could have used three seashells.
Back in Middle School there were kids that intentionally trash school bathrooms, but that was just typical dipshit kid behavior.
I have never known anyone who intentionally trashes bathrooms as an adult. The closest experience I have had with that is I used to work in a repair shop and this one dude would always take a dump after lunch.
While he was shitting he would smoke in the bathroom and it made the bathroom a torture chamber for at least an hour after he used it. He claimed he did to mask the smell.
yeah my nephew got busted a few years ago for squirting ketchup and mustard all over the bathroom in his school. him and a couple of friends just like brought in squirt bottles and blasted it all over everything.
because you know, it looks like bloody poo, or something, haha so funny.
Leaving a gross mess? No, but I knew a guy that was a fan of leaving upper deckers, he also used to do something I don't know the name of it. He unrolled a couple metres of toilet paper, wiped in the middle of it and carefully reroll the paper back.
Edit: Oh! And I know a guy that once pissed in the hot stones of a sauna!
I mean, that is still a gross mess, but it's way more deliberate than OP's examples.
Your bro is just a prank, bro
My coworkers often leave piss and shit on the toilet seat in the only bathroom we have.
I haven’t been able to figure out why they do it other than an extreme lack of care for others. They aren’t cleaning it, so why should they give a fuck?
It’s infuriating.
Some people exercise the only control they have.
Where I'm from it's because their mother handles all that, and they leave messes because no one told them to clean it themselves because it's women's work.
MOOOOM! BAAATHROOOM!
Precisely. I watched an 8 year old walk out of a bathroom and demand their ass be wiped for them. I've also seen husbands angrily walk up to their wives and say the kid/pet puked/pissed/pooped on the floor without ever considering cleaning it themselves.
When i still lived with my ex, whoever saw the cat puke first simply cleaned it up. I can't even get into the mind of men who think cleaning is below them.
personally no.
but people do shit like this out of mental illness, or some other psych disorder. could be as simple as oppositional defiance disorder and other anti-social conditions or impulses.
feels definately like a lack of empathy. I can't believe these people think about what if someone did that before they got there.
Yes, several.
Why? No idea, I did not ask or really want to interact with them more than absolutely necessary at that point.
I just presumed they were just nasty.
Dementia patients are known to do this because, you know, dementia. It's actually really sad.
an aside but I have heard stories of thieves leaving a turd on the floor or eating half an icecream and dropping it to make a mess on the floor or such intentional fuckery.
