Why couldn’t he just make like a cat and bury it?

I, too, immediately thought of the ['64 Estes Kefauver High yearbook](http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2004/01/class_of_64_reunion.html). If you read every word of it, like we did back in the day, and comb through the Sunday Newspaper Parody (The Dacron Republican-Democrat – from Dacron, Ohio, like the yearbook)… you’ll have a good idea who the “Mad Crapper” is.

They wouldn’t last a week at a state park or the like. For some reason using a vault toilet or outhouse brings out the worst in people.

ISTR that a woman in Atlanta was caught pooping while jogging. Something about running gets the intestinal track going and sometimes you just have to go. This guy was caught on the running track too. I wonder if that’s the case?

No, I’m not excusing the behavior. Jeez, dude, bring a pooper scooper if you have to go while on your daily jog.

Jack the Ripper, the Boston Strangler, and the Somewhat Handsome Pooper. This is history in the making, people!

My take on it is that DC’s pooper must actually be incredibly good looking if people are describing him as somewhat handsome while taking a dump and holding a dead rat. People must be taking off points for the feces and rodents.

I don’t work at Wal-Mart, but we have had people take a shit in the dressing rooms in the clothing department. Just leave a juicy log on the bench. Proof people are animals I guess.

This is why we stock bio-hazard clean up supplies in the utility closets.

There’s your problem. You shouldn’t drink a lone, drink a beer.

A friend used to work at the Board of Education and he’s one of those people who doesn’t do “away games” if you know what I mean, but someone else brought him into the men’s room to show him one of the stalls, which someone had _completely_ covered in shit smeared everywhere _except_ the toilet paper, which had a single shitty thumbprint on it, like some kind of bizarre, insane signature. There are some real freaks who get into education, aren’t there?

He only shits at home. When I lived in a house with him, he’d randomly show up in the middle of the day just to take a dump, then go back to work. We were about 30 minutes from his office, so that’s an hour’s commitment just to shit. I don’t get it, but I’m not him.

I can see how that might cause someone to start doing so, but no, we’ve been friends since 8th grade and he’s always been like this. He lived just a few blocks from school and he would run home to shit and run back.

I have to say, that once BART closed nearly all the restrooms for “security reasons’ (bullshit) people started using the elevators etc to crap in. I myself did have to 'water a bush” once.

But altho this guy is clearly a psycho, charging him with “lewd conduct” it total bullshit.

I’m guessing many places don’t have a specific law against public defecation/urination so they have to charge them with whatever even vaguely fits.

I will absolutely not use a stall in a school. A gas station restroom is better, in my eyes. School kids carry germs that will kill a snowflake like me.

I can proudly say that in my entire k-12 career, I never once used a school restroom.

I tried to use the restroom at my nephew’s elementary school once. I literally physically couldn’t. The urinals were installed at 2 feet off the floor and I had a total _Billy Madison_ moment. I didn’t even bother looking in the stalls. I almost just peed in the sink, but I thought better of that. 😃
