The perils of living in Park Slope are legion: being struck by errant strollers, having to smell the co-op, developing incredible smugness, etc. But there's an even greater danger currently stalking the Slope: the shitting delivery man. From the Park Slope parents listserv:

Subject: [ParkSlopeParents] Delivery guy puking in hallways?

Okay, I admit this is a really weird post, but on the off chance that
it has happened to others, maybe we can track down who it is and stop
it from happening again...

Sometime last week or over the weekend, somebody either puked or
pooped in the back of our first floor hallway, next to where we all
keep our strollers. It was cold last week, so nobody had been taking
the babies out, and it therefore took a few days for the dog on the
first floor to freak out about the smell and alert us to what had
happened. We are a five unit coop, so it's pretty obvious that nobody
in the building did it — the best guess that anyone can come up with
is that it must have been a delivery person. Needless to say, it was
totally disgusting and horrible to have to clean up, and we are all
very disturbed.

Has anyone else ever experienced such a thing? Over the last week? If
so, maybe we can put our heads together about where we ordered from...
or is there some other way this could have happened that we're missing?

My God, the horror. Can you imagine what these people had to live through? We're not sure why they immediately assume that this is the fault of some poor guy carting around their organic tempeh stir fry; it could have been a houseguest, a random stranger, or even one of their own little poop machines. Oh, right, it's Park Slope: probably best to blame the help.
