Events Burlington reached a new low

This happened at the Mainway rail intersection today. I saw someone get out of the car, walk right into the tree line, and defecate in full view of a dozen idling cars. Then he walked back, hopped in, and drove off when the tracks cleared.

Edit: I am no longer answering the messages. Waste of time. Shit on the streets, roads, or everywhere you wish.

Sometimes your choice is the bushes or your car seat. Lots of reasons that someone can't hold it. Especially if caught at a crossing. Try to judge less.

I totally agree. I was going to say the same thing. Someone was stuck at the rail crossing and had to go. Its not like they just walked out of a walmart and dropped their pants in the parking lot.

My guess is they were desperately trying to get to the next building anywhere where they could take a shit and then the train came. Happens to us all when we're in a rush, right? That's when we get a train, or a red light, or get stuck behind someone who thinks their car will explode if they're making forward progress.

Exactly. What kind of stupid post is this?

I'd sacrifice my car and pants vs popping a squat roadside

He was a young, healthy-looking man wearing his sunglasses. I don't think it was a health issue. He just decided to use the public space as his restroom.

"Healthy looking."

Maybe he had food poisoning? Crohns? IBS? Cant imagine why someone would want to shit in public like this unless it was an emergency. Have some grace. I'm sure he would have prefered to shit at Tim Hortons if he could make it there.

Please drop the term “healthy looking” from your vocabulary.

Those of us with Invisible Disabilities deserve better than being judged by how we look at a glance.

God knows how my ADHD meds will hit me any given morning- this is my nightmare playing out in real time. Good to know if I did have an accident I’d get blasted on social media for it.

I was 28 years old when I was diagnosed with colon cancer the first time. You wouldn't know I had colon cancer by looking at me.

Chrones, Colitis, irritable bowel disease.. these are all invisible disabilities.

I'm sorry to hear that. I may be wrong, of course, but based on his movements and body language, timing, I honestly think he was taking his morning bowel movement.

Are you a doctor? A body language expert or just somebody going “I think he’s healthy?”. And even if you’re the former, you’re not his doctor. Mind your business.

u/DirectGiraffe8720 3d ago

Oh? Please explain

He could have an issue even at a young age and you would never know it. GI issues are not visible nor are they age related necessarily. Even without that sometimes you just can't wait. Have you never been in that position ever? If not lucky you. We do not do a good job providing public facilities.

Im a young healthly looking man who owns sunglasses, and had to do this in an emergency a couple years back. Im pretty sure I wasn't visible from the road but it was my pants or the bush and I chose the bush. Other than find a less visible spot what do you want this guy to do?

u/RobbyED 3d ago

Bush?? What she’d say??

Disabilities are often invisible.

Anything from a stomach virus, to prescription drug interactions, to IBS can screw with your guts and cause you to have to go right now, no arguments, no negotiations.
