To the person who...(Warning: GROSS)

[Micer]

You have my condolences, I had to experience someone like that when I was working at the movie theaters, the lovely creature befouled herself in the theater, tracked it up the hallway leading to the bathrooms, through the lobby, and than proceeded to explode in a stall. Seriously, I think this woman's goal was to put as much fecal matter outside of the toilet as possible because the damn toilet was pristine. Untouched!

And being the only female on duty, I got the joy of cleaning up that present with nacho gloves no less. The kicker? She went back to her movie after doing this deposit, because I saw her on the way out, and we wound up dousing the seat and bagging it afterwards. This little woman in a track suit, who offered me a pleasant little smile as she sauntered outside at the movie's end, sporting a huge brown stain down the back of her pants legs as she passed by.

It took every bit of restraint, and the fact that I was hacking up a lung from sucking down bleach fumes not to scream holy hell at her for being such a disgusting animal.

I just don't think it phases some. Biological matters?? F-that! I need tah do mah shoppins!!! I had another woman do that while I was working retail (she sprung a brownish leak in a white mini dress - muagh =P ) and at least she sputtered excuses and a quick thanks before taking a mortified run to the bathrooms with a hand on her bum.

Still... eww. Eeww. Eeww!

Unfortunately, there are people who just don't give a damn about these sorts of things.

Even worse, there are people who actually get a thrill out of this sort of behavior.....

Gads, how nasty! I'm so sorry that you had to clean up after that poor excuse for a human being. Seriously, who does that!? I understand that sometimes it comes on rather quickly and all, but to not even have the courtesy to get to a bathroom instead of leaving a trail all over the store?

In fairness, there are some people who simple have no control over their bodily functions. People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome or other bowel disease literally can't hold it. These people don't do this on purpose.

If it is a frequent or common problem, they should wear Depends for the sake of their clothing and public pride if nothing else. If not, however, they should find an employee and at least offer (sincerely) to clean up the mess. Leaving stool or urine all over a store, I agree, is terrible manners.

I know you didn't mean this as funny, but DAMN - I almost died laughing.

I'm tempted to ask permission to steal it for my sig line.

That reminds me of something I said to Numbnuts once, after he had to clean up somebody's poop in the recent past, and was being his usual shiftless self:

Me: (brandishing one of our plastic stepstools) NUMBNUTS! GET TO WORK HERE OR ELSE I'LL HIT YOU WITH THIS STOOL!

*pause*

M heh heh, Stool. Remind you of anything?

True, but if they are a decent human being they won't just blithely walk all over the store, leaving a turd trail as if there's nothing wrong.

[telecom_goddess]

OMG no offense to those with IBS really it's gotta be hell...but damn it if you can't control something like that wear depends or stay home to avoid embarassing yourself and disgusting others. No one else wants to be a witness to that! I sure as hell will make sure that doesn't EVER happen to me. I would be humiliated and therefore will make sure it doesn't happen.

Now now, my mum and I have it, and we are perfectly capable of holding it in for long enough to get to the bathroom and sat down on the toilet. There have been times where it's gotten close, but still, able to hold it in for a quick run to the bathroom.

I definitely did not mean any disrespect to those who have valid medical conditions which can make it difficult to make it to the bathroom in time. That being said, and like others have stated, I would hope that anyone with an acute condition like that would at least let an employee know about what happened rather than leaving it for some poor soul to step in, as happened in the OP. Plus, it sounded like the turdlet (lawl, I love this term) trail did not go near the bathroom, so I can only assume that the person responsible was just a douche and nothing more.

[Becks]

Management should've cleaned it up.

[Mr Hero]

Mmmkay, you all might think that dropping a dook in the urinal on the floor is a victimless crime, mmmkay.

[Kristev]

Diarreha. I've had to clean that up before, for a trail of moderate length.

Unfortunately, I also had diarreha in public once, and lost control. But I went to the bathroom and cleaned myself up. And, to be fair, I did have a virus at the time.

[blas]

Come to think of it, it may be the same yoohoo who plugged the toilet at the restaurant I used to work at, then wrote 666 on the stall in his own shit!

[RecoveringKinkoid]

People really are closer to poo flinging chimps than most of us like to admit. It was actually routine at Kinko's for there to be some Picasso in the thrall of his Brown Period, in the bathroom leaving a mural on the wall for us.

No lie. Routine.

And I know I told you all about the guy just dropping trou and taking a dump on the carpeted hallway of the library my sister works at. Just squatted down on the rug and proceeded to pinch off a nice big coil right there in plain view.

Really, janitors do not get paid enough.

I don't recall this story.

I'd be willing to bet my last dollar that he didn't get arrested or banned, right?

Mustent offend the 'customers'.
