Even though vandalism is a criminal activity, it's not always wrong. Let's face it, creatives really do see beauty and humor in places where us mortals don't, so why not turn a blind eye to some of their shenanigans if they're making cities prettier?
Bored Panda has already collected one list of too-funny-to-be-illegal acts of "vandalism" but too many genius pieces have emerged for us not to make another. From sculptures becoming skateboarders, to trees transforming into a Simpsons character, these gems deserve all the recognition they can get. Scroll down to enjoy this compilation and don't forget to vote for your favorite entries!

It's A Tiny Forest
Not even that. It's a tiny rainforest 😄😄
Load More Replies...The top picture says it's a tiny forest. The bottom says a tiny rain forest
Second one is photoshopped though (the writing anyway. The word rain if you look is just copies of other letters from thee original graffiti
I assumed someone came along and got rid of "rain" so that they could rewrite it as "rainforest",
Load More Replies...Glad I'm not the only one that thought that haha. The way the feet are standing by it and the fact that it's just that small patch that's wet, really makes it look like he just peed on it.
Load More Replies...What? At first only "It's a tiny forest!" is written, then there is also "rain" added

Load More Replies...Hand Dryer Has A Point
They use it cause it's cheaper than paper towels. Their bottom line is what it's better for.
Also, not better for yhe environment as you can recycle the paper towels but the handdryer uses electricity. Plus they are much less hygenic. Watch the TED talk on paper towel use and you'll only need to use one each time!
These things are so nasty, they just blow all the bathrooms germs right back on your hands. I just flap my hands.
Lol I have the best visual of a stranger flapping their hands like tiny wings in a restroom. Thank you.
Load More Replies...Never used one yet where you didn't end up drying your hands on your pants.
Styrofoam is actually better than cardboard for the environment as it can be recycled better. Cardboard has a film layer stopping it from being recyclable. 😯
over 50% of people do not wash their hands after using the restroom. Which means no matter how well you wash your hands you get them covered in other peoples p**s and s**t when you open the bathroom door. Refuse to use restrooms that dont have paper towels Fun fact, Canada has ruled it a human rights violation to require food workers to wash their hands before handling food after they use the restroom.

It says "GOD" after "Please don't pick the apples." It's a joke about the Christian religion. In their bible, there's a story about how the first humans were told by the god Yahweh not to eat apples from a special tree. But the humans did anyway and the god got pissed and punished them and all humans to come.
