People can be shitting sometimes.

Wow. We live in a world where we srsly have to put up a sign to tell people not to shit in public. I cant even

How sad is it that you would have to leave a sign like this for an adult .
4merGOP
No excuse, but she might possibly have Crone's disease and would prefer pooping at home if she had control over her bowels.

I once stayed overnight in my car in croyden once. In the morning I found 3 burnt out cars within 100m, same car park. fuck that place.
gibsonbenusarmy
She obviously has the runs...
Hiyeeee
Listen, I get it. The stair master always made me need to poop desperately within 5 minutes. Know your body, map out toilets if needed.
PuppyDontCare
Also she could've just bring a bag with her like any dog owner and throw it in the trash.
That would probably mean acknowledging this embarassing behavior.
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
Because dropping trou and popping a squat in public isn’t acknowledgement enough lol

Hey man. I eat a lot of veggies. And sometimes a poop knife would be really useful
vegetarian for 30 yrs. never needed poop knife but +1 for reference!
Yeah i eat big meals because I try to do IF. And so ill eat like a pound of spinch at a time (it shrinks a lot when you cook it). So... yeah

Bro use your two socks
Nuhlinga
A shitty asscrack has less friction allowing the legs to move faster
xcopperx
Spread the cheeks and since running may upset your stomach maybe itll squirt out and leave your cheeks partially clean.
MAN9000
Leaves can be used for TP. Maybe she's into survival and it's part of her routine for escaping zombies.
MatrixCreatrix
Hope she doesn't do lunges at the end of her run.
Procrastinatress
They come back from their run with only one sock ?
DanCutter
High-fiber diet, regular exercise, freshly waxed butthole... clean as a whistle.
Omnipotence0
If you only ate kale and maple leaves like a true runner you would shit in little balls like rabbits do, eliminating the need for wiping.
pdrroadkill
It's called 'runners trots' and happens due to the bouncing of your stomach during a run. And yes, most runners will leave themselves dirty
HarmlessPervert
Reason No. 137 why I don't run...
MobiusAzarath
If you eat a ton of fiber, I doubt you need to wipe.
MVPHingleMcCringleBerry
You can not wipe. Use a leaf. Or use your finger then wipe that on grass/leaves or whatever. Just wash your hands as soon as possible
You can not wipe as in that’s a option. Don’t wipe and keep running. Hopefully it’s not the kind that just smears
brusilov
Use your finger? What? Like in and out?

There was a woman to shit in my yard every day for 5 years. It took 3 police visits and threats of jail to finally get her to stop.

frozen paintball to the browneye.
I have video evidence, tag number, everything. She even admitted it to police and couldn't care less, said it was her "right".
Monka42
Wtf? It's my right to spray you with a hose then. Free bidet mother fucker.
SuperJusticeWarrior69
I would follow her home, see where she lives and just do something ten times worse, like order a truck load of chicken manure or something
AoxomoxoA35
I would have turned the hose on her and if that didn't stop it, then escalate to paintball gun.
Follow her home and commence operation shit on her porch daily.
pigsearsandtwirlytails
That's completely nuts, why did she think it was her right?
PicassoCT
She got advice on a imageboard, to make a hole in the floor and shit on her downstair neighbous?

Can we get more of this story? Because that's completely nuts.

One day my dog ate it. Then I lost it and told the cops you better stop this or we are going to have violence.
AJediInTraining
That is one of the most bizarre things I have heard in a while.
Seriously. What the fuck?
BanadecCamberbootch
That story got wilder and wilder every time.
Thisismyusernamenotyoursitsmine
Wait.. everyday? 5 YEARS? Was she your neighbor or did she GO to your house just for that?!?! I’m so confused
Correction, an average of 3 times a week, for 5 solid years. I have written documentation, even a cease and desist letter to her employer.
JiffyGee
Thats bonkers. She’s littering for one. Another she is leaving biohazardous waste in your yard. Third that’s indecent exposure, what if...
kids saw? Then they’d be considered a pedophile. I’d have been asking these questions to the police then ask to have their supervisor....
kellzkellzhellzbellz
What?? Did she dislike you? That's crazy.
RoutemasterFlash
Maybe she liked him and this was her way of showing that?
It turns out she was the newspaper delivery person. Our yard was "convenient". She does not know me.
Mattehoernchen
Newspaper delivery with a little extra.
ddkong86
Lindsay Lohan? Probably fermalizing the lawn
TimmyNG
Fortunately I wasn't afflicted with mid-run poops, but a guy on my team was. He'd bring a wad of TP and regularly stop midway through runs
RemuZZZ
yep. Baby wipes work well.
seqouia
Runners diarrhea is a thing! There's dozens of us!
SullivansMuff
I definitely dealt with this when I was running competitively. Race day was always the worst. Anything you found to help with it?
Soberyn
Sounds like it was caused by nerves from the race? I used to get the "nervous poops"
There was definitely a psychological aspect, but it happened pretty much every day. Just worse on race days
I do ultra marathons and my best advice is to experiment with food. I find processed, dense food like Clif bars generally work well
lampinamothpit
This only happened to me once, miles from a toilet; fortunately I was in an isolated part of the woods. Shit happens. (I’ll see myself out)
CorgiMcFluffers
Man what a crappy thing to happen.
Ryebread91
Run poops are a real thing... Doesn't excuse her behavior at all.

Just hazarding a guess but I'm gonna go with, she straight up just leaves her arse caked in shite.

maybe she eats so much fibre that she ghosts every poop
What an interesting person. Is it a test? Does she love laundry?

Maybe it helps lube her thighs and prevents chafing.
FrumpyCrust
She just lets her hips slide a little freer
Baalzak

Thanks I hate this
Fluckers
I'm pretty sure that it's just the motion of running that's increased bowel motility. Happened to a female running the London marathon a few
gvair
As a runner who had to go a few times during runs I can relate. The activity seems yo stimulate my bowels.
Years ago. Might have been Sally gunnell. She hid in a tunnel to avoid the TV cameras. As they say, shit happens!
TuckerCarlsonWarnedYouTheredBeGirlsLikeMe
How do you do that while jogging?
TrumpIsAFelon
The poo lubricates the friction between the cheeks, as well as between the inner thighs. This allows for speed gains and less chafing. 1/2
It also leads to a higher motivation (often referenced as runners tight) when near crowds..
How did you become so wise in the ways of science, fellow scientist?
Because of this, the practice has been banned in competitive running since 1997, and the Olympics banned it in 2016
Friction burned Ceramics are a very good material as long as they are not experience shocks
Whit a fuckin' weapon!
ElbowDeepInAPoliceState
Spread their cheeks and pop a squat. Poor diet resulting in hard, pellet like bowel movements may help
TheRobbieB
I run because my health is important to me. I eat like shit because my mid-run poop is also important to me.
LiamRobertsonjr
Vaselines her ass up and it just doesn't stick. Her legs don't chaff either.
SoSorryNotSorry
You’ve definitely done this before
Just an observation I made while treating a hemorrhoid. "Huh I don't think I even needed to wipe" prep h is mostly vaseline.

I'd assume it wouldn't be illegal since you shouldn't assume privacy in a public place?
ochermes28
Since this behavior would constitute a misdemeanor in the USA, I’m assuming it would be legal if the footage was given to the cops.
That would be my defense.

No, it's the intent that matters. Same reason why you can't take upskirt photos on a public bus

There was a case in TX where a guy was taking photos of HS cheerleaders and using telephoto lenses to get crotch, butt, and boob shots. 1/2
2/3 He was selling the videos on the internet. Parents found out, took him to court. Judge ruled he’d done nothing illegal.
3/3 not sure if the law has changed—this was probably late 90s or early 2000s.
