I found this above the urinal at a local bar. It says:

YOUR A SCUMBUCKET FOR TAReiNG THIS OFF!

Everyone knows that bathroom graffiti always contains grammar and spelling mistakes.

One of the most common is the use of "your" instead of "you're". (usually in the form of: your a fucking idiot- or some such retort)

Therefore if the incorrect use of "your" was the only mistake in this message then I certainly wouldn't have bothered to include it here.

But this one has another wonderful and amusing spelling mistake: "tareing". (Which I assume is supposed to be "tearing" i.e. ripping)

That's an original one- and not just for bathroom walls.

A google search finds only '2,700 results for tareing' - making me think the author of this graffiti is pretty original.

And, except for the crappy internet poets (e.g. tareing up the sheets ), this turns out to be true:
