Shitting in the street, a.k.a. Street defecation

[DaveCinzano]

I remember reading about a principal (headmaster) lost his job because he pooped on the football field every day until he got caught.

That's what happens when you keep returning to the scene of your grime

A lot of people rely on going to McDonald's for a McShit.

Back in the McLibel days I remember reading a nice instructional guide about smuggling quick-setting cement into the McBogs to block them up. These days a tin of that expanding gap filling foam stuff with a length of thin flexible hose will do the job nicely.

But why would you do that?

Because McDonalds were bad, man. Public enemy No.1 of many activists in the 90s. I think the theory was that if the bogs were out of order then they’d have to shut the branch down, no idea if that was true.

But you said the highlighted part in your first quote which implies that this is still going on, and you seem to be suggesting a way to block the toilets.

Doubt McDonalds are still on people’s radar, but I guess there are still valid non-public targets for this kind of stuff. Just mentioning a utility-sealing method I know from having worked in demolition/site clearance a few years back.

Shite clearance, shurely?

 

[Karl Masks]

"aka"

I think the initial phrase gets the point across!

A safe shite is a happy shite

polly this thread makes me think of your story

I liked in Viz letters once:

How come horses can shit in the street and I can’t? I’m the one who pays council tax.

Horse riders can leave piles of shit lying around but you can get a 1,000 pound fine for not picking up dog shit.

Wonder if it's anything to do with dogs being owned by everyone, but horses only being owned by rich people.

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Good point!

Always good to be tagged into a shitting on the street thread in that way

It was not me shitting. For the record.

apart from that [good] point

horses are usually vegetarian and their shite is fairly innocuous - even beneficial if you grow roses
dogs and cats are carnivores and their shite can, potentially, contain eggs of internal parasites or transmit diseases ...
sadly, the plastic pooper-scooper bags that get hung on bushes / fences etc are even more hazardous than the contents.
several dead deer / cows around here have been found to have blocked up their digestive systems with poop bags
[I go for "stick n flick" into bushes]

Well I’m glad that horse shit is healthy shit and not at all unsightly and smelly when dumped on the road by a passing posho.

sigh

kinda reminds me of this for some reason

Was the Chimney Shitter ever traced / shopped by friends?

 

[Sasaferrato]

A few years back there was (probably still is) an 'issue' with street homeless people around Victoria who frequented the large day centre on Carlisle Place crapping on or near the doorsteps of those million pound flats off Victoria Street and Horseferry Road. Andrew Bridgen MP called for a clearout of all the 'undesirables' in the area, the nasty cunt.

Bridgen? Is he the one that looks like a failed abortion?

 

[Sasaferrato]

If its more common it's because of the rise in being homeless and lack of public facilities. Remember when there were public baths (I don't mean swimming pools) I remember going to one near Homerton when I was squatting in Hackney in the 80s.

When I lived in a bathroomless 'flat' in Inverness I used to use the public baths. They were absolutely spotless, the woman in charge was damn near scrubbing the bath as you were getting dressed.

 

[agricola]

surely thats like saying "the one that wears a suit"?

tbh the rider should be clearing up even if it's less medically hazardous, it's still a nuisance ... think that there used to be a law that the nags hauling hackney cabs had to have a "nappy" to catch the recycled hay ... ready market for it in the parks & gardens.

And coppers, the very people who can issue fines for not cleaning up after your dog.

Coppers shit in the street?

Yeah, every day when you think about it.

They get very pissy when you raise the possibility of them getting out of the saddle to shovel up their mount's shit

Despite what the article claims, that pic is not from Aberdeen. The stone of the building behind is all wrong. It is Freestone (form of sandstone), most commonly found around the Moray/Cromarty Firths - Inverness, Elgin, Dingwall, Invergordon or Alness. There are very few major freestone buildings in Aberdeen and they are not from that period because virtually all our local Freestone deposits were worked-out long before Scots Baronial became popular in the nineteenth century.

 

[pogofish]

Yep, I used to use the public baths in Inverness.

They closed the last set of public baths in Aberdeen in the early/mid 1990s. Used to be right beside Marischal College but were torn down for more shitty flats.

 

[pogofish]

So we now have two threads on here obsessed with shit and piss.

Two? There may well be a few more lurking here..!

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Shit and piss makes me think of that drug track by Pulp.
