WARNING: This is a poo related story, using some poo humor. It is a true story, but thought you should be warned.
Ok, this has absolutely nothing to do with the subway, but it was so unreal, I had to share it.
So I took a little trip to Shake Shack in Madison Square Park this afternoon. Had a couple brewskies before getting there, and had to make a tinkle.
Luckily, they have that fancy new electronic pay toilet there. I was so pumped. I had seen it on TV, but never had the pleasure of partaking in the experience.
So there was a line. Only two people in front of me.
An older man went in and took his time. Not obnoxiously long, but long. Maybe he couldn’t find the button to get out of there. Who knows.
Anyway, there was a woman in front of me with her boyfriend. She was doing the pee pee dance which was funny because I’ve never seen a 30 year old do that. Anyway, there was a clear look of desperation in her eye.
Well, the door opened, and the man emerged, but no relief for the woman. Why? The rinse cycle. The entire bathroom gets a spraydown between each use. The door closes.
Well, she inches over to the control panel where you insert your 25 cents. Still dancing.
Then.
Plop.
I look back over to see that she is literally crapping her shorts. Right before my eyes. A grown, normal looking woman has poo falling from her shorts onto the sidewalk.
I was in just as much shock as her I think. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
She finally made it in there. I had to pull out my camera, because I was going to have to tell this story, and no one was going to believe me. No one would believe that she was literally inches away from the toilet, and dropped a load on the sidewalk.
The experience will probably haunt my dreams. Then again, it was a crappy day for her. (Ohhh pun intended. Couldn’t help myself.)

(I’m so tempted to continue with the puns–I can think of a few, but I’ll spare everyone).
That poor woman—gotta feel sorry for her. And come to think of it, you too, for having to witness it.

Tangentially related: I recently rode a subway that was covered in blood.

ReplyOh, the embarrassment… I feel so bad for the lady. I don’t feel bad for the guy who witnessed it, I’ve seen plenty of intentional pooping on the subway. When you have an hour and a half of commuting back and forth from home and work, you get plenty of exposure to teh P00PZ!
ReplyEver thought that this woman may have a serious disease such as Crohn’s disease or IBS? Shame on you for making this into “news” on your blog.
Reply@Amy – Agreed. But as far as anyone is concerned, "she" is a nameless, faceless person out in society.
Sure, it would be totally mean to post a picture of her, or describe her. You'll see none of that here.
And other than the little cheap shot at the end, it wasn't really making fun of her. It was more me telling a shocking story from my perspective.
ReplyThis is great. I was actually just wondering a few weeks back whether anyone had been able to verify how gross / not gross that particular self-cleaning toilet was. Now we know.

ReplyThis is not the kinda thing you post. Really stupid man. Not only is it not the subway, but if she wasn’t feeling absolutely horrible it wouldn’t have happened. You shouldn’t call out people’s sickness in a blog like this.
ReplyYou’re a fucking asshole.
ReplyShe was probably just sick & was worried that something like that would happen. Isn’t that kinda your worst nightmare? That you’d be that sick & unable to control yourself & somebody would see it & make fun of it?
It’s really not funny.
ReplyPoint noted.
ReplyDon’t worry, dude. Some people have horrible, horrible senses of humor.
Oh, that poooor woman, she pooped herself, maybe she died that night, did you ever think of that? Maybe that was the first sign of Ebola, you heartless bastard!
Get over it, people, it’s a joke.
If laughing at people who crap their pants is wrong, I don’t ever, ever want to be right.
And just so you know, I have had bouts of IBS, and I STILL think this is funny.
Suck it, America.
ReplyWhat happened to the boyfriend? Where was he when you took the photo of her deposit? Did this guy run off to get her another pair of shorts or did he go in the bathroom with her? And did you just leave after you took the photo? You know one day you may crap your pants in public, would you want someone to photograph you in that condition? I don’t think so.
Reply@Felicia
The boyfriend walked away as soon as she went in the bathroom. They must have been with a group because her sister came over to “assist” her when the door reopened.
If you looked at the video, you would see that the victim is not shown.
After they cleared out, I used the bathroom.
Would I want to have myself photographed in that condition? NO. That’s why I didnt photograph her. Way to pay attention.
Love when people spout off without knowing what they are talking about.
ReplySUBWAYBlogger, I saw your video, I saw the crap, I pay attention always and see you left out details. Tell the whole story next time. There was no spouting, what a word to use. I know what I’m talking about. This is not a big deal, it happens, people have accidents, no facilities available sometimes. This is just something you’re seeing for the first time. Have a great day.
ReplyI can see your humor. And it does seem like big news. But I do hope you keep in mind how she felt at the time. ^_-
ReplyHa!
I don’t know which is funnier, the poop, or the comments above! You people really need to lighten up! Poop can be funny!
ReplyWhat happened to her boy friend? did he stick around to see the out come? (no pun intended)
Poor girl. you know she had to have died of humiliation. Hope there weren’t too may people around to see what happened.
ReplyIt could be IBS, Crohn's Disease, or lactose intolerance.
ReplyOMG! Who ever thought that a sudden, acute case of diarrhea, with no toilet immediately available, could be so funny! Likely triggered by eating the dubious street food of Madison Square park!
A third grader might find it mockingly hilarious, but an adult with zero empathy who *videotapes* it is beyond creepy.
ReplyWho cares WHY she had a bout with diarrhea? I don't. I have had them and been embarassed and I was ALONE! But in the telling of it I laughed til I cried! In the words of Forrest Gump-"**IT Happens" …geez I never knew there were so many bleeding hearts out there! Get over yourselves because you all probably would be the first ones to look away and act as if you didn't see anything…
ReplyYou will have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is one thing a lot of us are going via.

ReplyPersonally, I think global warming is fake and the earth just goes through cycles increased heat and coolness. After all we are spinning around and orbiting the sun which may occasionally change temperatures in different parts of the world. What are the chances that the earth rotates perfectly and spins around without ever changing position. Even the slightest change can cause different temperatures in different parts of the world. Think about an earthquake, why does it happen, is the earth not shifting and could it throw off the earths spin? Yes, I believe it can.
ReplyThanks for the helpful post. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma has an extremely long latency phase, which means that signs of the disease would possibly not emerge until eventually 30 to 50 years after the original exposure to asbestos fiber.

ReplyInteresting article.

There are usually fresh complications and chance to which the sector must again adapt and reply.

ReplyCharlie, You are right on .. Obama is finally revealing his true colors and America is watching He is a racist, as evidenced by his stupidly comment against the Police Dept He said he didnt know any of the facts, but commented anyway .. No wonder his polls are going down!! Obama is still the Organizer-in-Chief and somehow seems to think that his words will convince Americans that he knows whats best for America .. Lets see, he goes to foreign countries and Appoligizes for us, wants single-payer health care, wants to close Gitmo without any plan, opposes amnesty so Americans can pay for the 12-20 million illegals healthcare, and giving War Criminals their Miranda Rights (theyre not even American Citizens) Gee, hes thinking like a Lawyer now Hes nieve and unqualified as POTUS Well, theres not enough room to go on, but you get the picture .. Americans need to make our voices heard at the polls in 2010 & 2012 I encourage all voters to get educated & informed, unlike our friend here, Virginia . Its pretty pathetic that people on park benches were some that gave the election to Obama Good Old Chicago Politics at work, along with ACORN!!! I wonder where all that campaign money came from too!
