I found it hilarious for some reason.

The worst I ever saw was a prime example of teenagers attempting to protest but being too stupid to actually find anything to protest:
"Fuck the patriarchy"

In Chapel Market, Islington
scrawled in marker, metre-high letters proclaiming "NOSE HELL". Nothing more than that - I'm mystified.

couple from oxford
there's a toilet in the JR hospital. I used to use it whenever I went to pick up a mate who worked there. It had a sign that was repeatedly altered (different pens after each cleaning etc, so you know someone really felt the need).
The weird thing was, the alterations were purely punctuation and made no sense. The altered version read:

Please "do not" put paper towels down the toilet.


Also in oxford are some other classics (only read half the pages so far, so I'll doubtless be glasscocking. Sorry.)

"However beautiful she is, someone somewhere is sick of her shit." - Cellar bar toilets

"if you don't like hockey ya'll can eat a bowl of fuck" - with the addition in a second pen of "I think you'll find you mean y'all - it's an abbreviation of you all, do you see?" if the (oft graffiti'd and oft repainted) Turf Tavern bogs.

Plus all those bloody 12 monkeys signs.

Edit:
There's also a sandwich shop called "heroes" that is permanently changed to "herpes". I like that whoever does this manages to do it to all the signs on the shop (sides of awning etc) as well as to the board they put on the pavement.

In a pub in Brixton (London) called "The Prince Albert"
there were three classic bits of graffiti.

First one was in the cubicle, it read "Praise Bush and his 4th Riche"

Second bit was on a sticker on the broken condom machine. The sticker read something along the lines of "war, racism, poverty. What's the solution? REVOLUTION!"

Someone had crossed out the REVOLUTION bit and wrote "join 10 spotty teenagers on a street corner selling crap newspapers!"

There was also some on a wall in the bar area that read "Life is a bowl of cherries but beware of the Aardvarks!"

Someone did some fine graffitti on my next-door-neighbour's house.
They stuck a sign in their forecourt with "For Sale" on it and all the details of our local estate agents.
I thought it was hilarious, but evidently they were upset about it as a few months later they moved house.

I've been waiting for this
it's always brought a smile to my face

in my local boozer, Henry's bar in Exeter, in the cubicle for the toilet in the gents (and I use the term loosely), someone had written:

"Jasper Carrot wants to bum you"

In Switzerland
I saw some graffiti that simply said "SEX". Was not until later that i just realised it was 6. Another time in Ireland there was a garage door that originally had
"No Parking, Thankyou" but some little tearaway had cleveryly crossed out "Thank" and added their own "Fuck"

Volkswagen
Caltrain is a regional rail service here that goes from San Francisco to the South Bay (San Jose and places like that). Apparently, they are powered by Volkswagen:

Length? It's 77.2 miles from SF to the end of the line in Gilroy.

Oooh! Oooh! Just remembered another!
Travelling up the M1, behind a very dirty truck that had a small flap on the back. Some wag had drawn an arrow pointing to said flap and added the text "50p to lift flap and see the illegal immegrants!"

Every day on the way to work...
...I passed a bridge that had painted on it in huge letters "Prisoner Fans Are Revolting".

Not particularly amusing, but it always gave me a smile.

The difference between Oxford and Bromsgrove
The late unlamented Railtrack used to put self-congratulatory signs up at stations saying "We are working on your station".

At Oxford someone added "...AT THE COST OF OUR HERITAGE".

At Bromsgrove someone changed it to "We are wanking on your station".

Friendly sidewalk graffiti
Someone here stenciled a bunch of positive-sounding messages on the sidewalks a few months ago, like "YOUR EXISTENCE GIVES ME HOPE". Someone else didn't agree:

In the Alexandra in Clapham
There's a piece of graffiti saying:

'Why in London does no-one care about anyone any more?'

and underneath in a different colour it says:
