I was in the bathroom, just sitting down and letting go as the train bounced and hit a curve.
I went flying and my pee was all over my shorts and I mean soaked. I was mortified.
I wrapped my jacket around me and luckily my luggage was close by and not high up. I grabbed clean, same color shorts and undies, changed in the bathroom and threw away my old shorts and panties - no way to keep them in the luggage with two friends around.
Of course, I then release I've let $40 in the pockets and have to get that out of the trash and try to de-pee stink it.
Thank goodness my bag was super close. I'm sure my friends would have noticed - some of the hobos, not so much.

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> @scroll_lock: I had a similar situation once at Starbucks. Some drunk university kid rushed in, barfed extravagantly into the trash, then wiped his face, took the bag outside to the dumpster, came back and asked for some hot water and Lysol to wipe the trash bin down. Nice kid, all things considered.

@Spirit Fingers: Agreed. What are parks for, anyway?

I was on the bus in LA once, which is invariably a four-hour experience, and somewhere around Santa Monica a smelly hobo-type woman stood up, announced "I'm gonna take a shit now. Sorry!" and did so. The windows nearly melted, it was so vile. But, as the bus was and had been motionless for quite some time, there was no reason she couldn't have gotten off, waddled to the side of the road, and used the bushes.

Nope, he wanted to be that guy.

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> I dunno -- am I lame to point out that a. he's poor as ef; b. that's why they call it a call of nature and c. did anyone catch that this cat is poor as all get out and has no where to shit? Lame? Thought so.

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> this is why one must never enter an empty subway car. in the summer, it might mean the air conditioning has broken. otherwise, it means an atrocity has just occurred.

She then had the nerve to ask me to GO to that same restaurant next time I saw her. Sorry, don't care how many times you Swiffered that floor..

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> @Mediahohoho: A friend of mine worked in the women's fragrance aisle in a big dept store and she said one morning just as they opened a panicked woman ran up to the counter yelling that she was sick, reached back and found the trash can, dropped trou and blew it out in the can. Then she left, mortified. I'm glad it wasn't me working there as I would have PTSD immediately and have to leave on a disability.

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> @CopyofBlueboy: Maybe not ON the trains, but certainly on some platforms and in /near surrounding T stations. Just this morning one of the Harvard Sq staircases had been shat all over and someone had politely put a trashcan barricade near it to steer commuters around the enormous mess. Not the way I wanted to start my day today but there you go.

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> Just thank god the seats are plastic in NYC and not upholstered as in London. Upholstery would give all New Yorkers a rash.

*shudder*

Ed

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> I'm wondering about that chick looking on. She probably fought to get that seat and she's not getting out of it, poo or no poo.

Here in Boston, we don't really have a lot of poo and pee on the T....we do, however, have a lot of drunk college students' vomit. Take your pick.

CopyofBlueboy

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> I have seen many a pee/poo instance, but the worst was on the escalators at Grand Central on the 7 line. A little boy and his dad on the way to a Mets game and there's this homeless dude crapping right next to them. He grabs the news paper out of the dad's hand to wipe his ass, drops everything on the floor and leaves. The look on that 7 year olds face is still burned into my brain.

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> My own public fecal meltdown witness story took place in 1999 on the Boardwalk at Coney Island on the day of the Mermaid Parade. Dude was wearing white pants, which he was discarding as he erupted. Probably one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen in my life. And yet everyone around pretended it wasn't happening. Which is why New York rocks.

But I think as restitution for her recent dissing she should be required to pick up after this subway pooper. AND supply her own plastic bags.

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> Is there anyone here who hasn't seen poo release happen at least once in a public place? I could walk you over to exact spot on 27th street where I beheld a similar site in the mid 90s on a lovely spring afternoon. The vision really burns into your brain.

@annasballs:
YES! Can this video be distributed to all incoming tour groups? We must encourage gangs to commence with summer muggings and other violence! Perhaps this is the year the tide (or turd) will turn against tourists, the SATC element, and the luxury condo set. Let the darkness return!

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> Peeing into a cup is completely acceptable (a bottle with a screw on top would be better). Its not like most of the subways have bathrooms and most business are kind enough to let you use their can.

Also it is bad form to poop in the subway car. This gentleman should have "taken care of business" in between cars.

Finally, I am always seeing enormous human turds at the end of the Bowery J stop. Methinks a serial pooper is at large.

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> Oversharey time! Out on a date at Lincoln Center. Unfamiliar food. Lots of cream sauces. Creme brulee dessert. Lactose intolerant. Doom arrived with excruciating cramps on the C train platform in front of Time Warner Center. Mad dash to the thankfully still open mall. Up to 4th floor - spotted a nice restaurant (PorterHouse New York), was politely directed to the men's room.

Nirvana. There were no stalls, rather a collection of individual private powder rooms with marble floors and pocket doors. Privacy! Comfort! Relief! Posh hand soap and individual wee individual cloth hand towels completed the return to normal life.

Never has so much vile illness been addressed in such a civilized manner. Bear it in mind, gents, should things go awry with you in Midtown.

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> The peeing: at least it was in a cup.
The pooing: maybe I don't need to be in the "center of the universe" for a while. Is the center of the universe a brown star?

At least he peed in a cup!

]]> <![CDATA[Subway Etiquette: Pooping Is Too Much]]> I was on a downtown 1 train when a hobo unzipped and whipped it out. My first thoughts were toward the perverse but then he proceeded to dump his beer out on the floor and pissed in the empty beer bottle. Reduce, reuse and recycle.
