I.C.U.P. & Poo?!

man pees and poos on subway
[You won't believe what came next...]

Normally here at GofG we pride ourselves on reporting information with the highest standards of integrity; however some things are just too good to not share. After spending a thoroughly relaxing weekend outside of Manhattan, I came back into our fair city via train through Penn Station. I proceeded to hop on the A train to West 4th St. to switch to the B/D. While waiting for the subway, I sadly encountered Sunday Night Special Guitar/Singing act, so I walked down the platform to get away from it. It was decidedly not as bad as the next spectacle.

Here it was: A really old man, peeing into a cup while sort of trying to use a steel column as a make shift urinal/hiding spot. There was NOTHING discreet about this. He took his time, but when he was done, he inspected his cup which was about to runneth over – and then he flung the contents onto the tracks making a HUGE splash. CLASSIC. No one else on the platform seemed particularly disturbed by this. Two minutes later some guy was leaning on the column that was previously used as the urinal. UGH! A few minutes later the subway came, and guess who got into my car? That’s right, P.P. Papa. I wondered what he was going to do next to entertain me. Then I saw it, his reach for the newspaper. Which he opened up, semi pulled down his pants, shoved the newspaper in the back. Was it possible? Was he really preparing for the big #2!?

poo

You better believe people started to notice now.

People started politely going to the other end of the subway car, slowly at first but picking up their pace as if a bomb was about to go off. All the while I was there watching, camera phone ready. Sure, I got some strange looks taking these pics, but I did it all for you! Luckily I got off at Broadway/Lafayette before the literal sh*t storm hit. What a welcome back!

    LOL!!!! I can’t believe you had the gall to take photos.

    LOL. Pictures speak more than a thousand words indeed.

    Oh good grief–humans now trying to imitate dogs! It’s time to roll out the “adult-size pooper scoopers”! Mayor Bloomberg to the rescue!

  4. BumScratcher - April 21st, 2008

    I love it! Dogs pee anywhere, so shall we. We need more of this along with Garbage Strikes in summer, higher crime rate, and more rats. All will remind of us of this place that used be New York City,

    I know this guy! He is a regular at the library where I work. Now I have an idea who is pooping on the floor in our library. Nice work.

    last spring, while taking in the shade (please, you don’t think i sit in the sun, do you? even with a spf of 60) in the park by the soho grand…an urban dweller on bench 4 proceeded to, shall we say, hose the flora and fauna there.

    i decided it was best to leave in case my terrier got bad ideas from the human (who at least stepped away from his cardboard box home). next, he DROPPED TROU and proceeded to drop other things.

    i started yelling, “ARE YOU CRAZY???” i’m intuitive like that. “ARE YOU CRAZY??? YOU CAN’T DO THAT HERE??” he ignored my advice, and continued. i threw dog poo bags at him, and never went back.

    i’m not sure he used them.

    What is wrong with people? That is just too much! Maybe the city should invest in portable toilets! Kudos for documenting the magic on camera!

    This is why public transportation fails and why gas keeps going up.
