that's different though. private vs public property. don't argue "but the brewery is privately owned," i'm talking about how the item is used by the public & how much it affects you personally. if it's your property used only by you that was vandalized, of course you're allowed to be mad. but if it's just some sharpie on a publicly used item that you're only gonna use for about ten minutes (give or take), who cares? isn't it easier to just laugh it off? especially if it doesn't impact how you use the item.

No. No one is allowed a sense of humor or chuckle when one, "person" disagrees. Don't ya know that by now? (100% joking for those who refuse to have a sense of humor)

Thats the exact mentality people use to f**k s**t up or write their name on monuments and natural sites. Doesn't hurt anyone so who cares? Is it yours? No? Then dont ruin it in any way.

you obviously didn't read what i wrote about it not mattering so long as it doesn't affect function. monuments are meant to honor someone or act as a reminder of something, & having graffiti that distracts from that obviously hinders the function so in that case it isn't alright. & natural sites are meant to remain natural, so any tampering that affects their natural state wouldn't be okay either. i was never implying intrusive or blatantly disrespectful graffiti is okay, only that minor infactions, like that in the photo above, really isn't anything to get upset about because it's easily ignored & forgotten about as it's only a bit of sharpie in a bathroom. what's done is done, so why not choose to laugh at it instead of get angry? life is far less stressful if you're able to find humor in the small things.

What if it was on your bathroom door? No that's not ok because it's yours. What if it's the bathroom door of your business/shop? How does drawing a joke on a nonument affect its function anynore than drawing on a baby drawing area? You make up your own defensive logic as you go along.

i'm not trying to make defenses, rather trying to find ways to go about life with a more peaceful mindset. eg, "is this worth getting upset over?" if you're able to let things go & laugh at the things that don't actually make life worse, you'll be a lot happier. i'm not endorsing vandalism, but rather a mentality of not letting it bother you if you see it on something that isn't all that important in the grand scheme of things. it really does make life more tolerable when you're able to laugh instead of getting upset.

Not to mention a little nail polish remover take it right off in 5 mins or less lol

But then who has to clean it, though? An underpaid employee probably. Yes it's funny, but we should be good humans and make jokes in a way that does not intentionally make life harder on the people who kindly serve us, just for a bit of fun. If we're going to try to treat people who serve us with more respect, let's do that across the board and not make exceptions just because "it's funny".

Thank you!! I came to say this; you beat me to it.

So do you.

Rob, it appears you, Ivo H, and A B C the Third all need to smoke some weed, calm down, and maybe just stay off these types of threads. These threads are meant to take the edge off long days, make you giggle, and help you forget the stress of everyday life. However, you three have turned this into a comment section full of Karen's. Stop being so literal and rude. Buzz off.

@hot foot mask No, still cannot agree with that reasoning. If it's public property, or property of another person, you just leave it alone. I'm really sick of seeing fugly unreadable tags on EVERYTHING. I just want to live in the world filled with people who are respecting other people's or public property and doodling on their own things.

Maybe if you take the stick out of your a*s, life wouldn't be so bad for you. Jfc, I can't imagine being so angry and hateful all the time. Good luck with that.

It's not public if it's in a privately owned business. Someone has to pay for it, because they have other customers to consider and an image to uphold. Even if it was truly public property, why endorse the people paying for someone's foolishness? I don't get people getting mad at a business being upset about their things being disrespected. You can both laugh and still acknowledge that it shouldn't have happened.

who says an employee *has to* clean it up? it can be left for more people to enjoy, & it won't hinder the use of the table. kids leaving toys in an aisle is a completely different story; it makes it difficult to walk through or push a shopping cart or wheelchair down the aisle, the items could be damaged & unsellable, & it can be hard to tell what the prices are if nothing is where it's meant to be. that's an actual problem. ink on a changing table? come on. it's only an inconvenience if you decide it is.
