To think this is fucking dreadful

Mumsnets poo trolls will be loving this thread 🤮

I also used to work in lively pub back in thr late 90s and it would amaze me how often people would shit on the toilet floor. It also seemed to be almost exclusively in the women's loos. Sure, the blokes would be piss all over the seats, break the locks on the doors, vandalise the hand dryer machine etc but I never gott my head around what would possess you to deliberately shit on the floor when the toilet is literally 'just there'.

You’re pretty naive if you don’t think public shitting is a thing. The town over from us had a library shitter! My friend worked in a hotel for a while and has some really gnarly stories about deposits made by guests.

Wtf is wrong with you?

I'm disabled and I have a lot of disabled friends. We don't go around shitting in random places and plonking percy on a shop shelf would be beyond most of our physical capabilities. I'm sure you think you're advocating your tits off with this overblown sympathy. You aren't.

And, @Itsmetheflamingo , tell me this...did they leave their shit for someone else to clean up.

I'm not trying to shame you-as you very well know- so you can stop with the "poor me" act but I can tell you this...you are very unfortunate to have been involved in three public shitting incidents. Of course, it may be common for you-you say it's not "uncommon" -but neither I nor any of my friends and family have had your misfortune.

How awful for you! It's a bloody shame for you. That said, have a good look at the photograph of the The Range Shitting Woman-there's a good chance you may know her.

BTW, I notice you spell "bath" with a lower case letter, so are you referring to an actual bath, people shitting in the bath? I suppose shitting in a bath at home is better than shitting in a car dealership or The Range.

This is quite a poor attempt at trying to shame my background and home, but I am happy to explain more.

my best friend had a poo incident in the Volvo dealership she worked at in Oxford city 10 years ago.

i worked in boots in Cambridge city centre 20 years ago and we had a public poo incident

when I was at university (bath) someone left a poo on staircase in the dance block.

i don't know anyone who currently works in retail and neither do I have uk wide experience of a public business. So based on my very limited life experience, it doesn’t appear to be the rare unicorn you have suggested.

im sure you think Oxford Cambridge and bath are shit holes (boom boom) but you’ll struggle to find people who agree

I hope you feel good attacking my character and background rather than engaging with what I said, but it does feel a rather pointless contribution.

I was in a shop a couple of years ago and someone had shat on the floor, the queue dispersed, staff apologised and then said you would be surprised how often it happens.

Well, I don't know where in the world your neck of the woods is @Itsmetheflamingo but if I were you I would seriously consider moving.

It's pretty uncommon where I am but then maybe I just live in a more civilised part of the world.

Actually, that said best stay where you are. The last thing we need is people coming to this neighbourhood who, like yourself, think that shitting on a shop shelf is uncommon!

Come on, do us a favour and tell us all where you've see "loads" of people shitting in a shop? It must be a literal shithole.

Elementary, my dear Watson, this is clearly a case of bowel play

I’ve also seen this loads and I also don’t understand why it’s news as surely it’s not actually uncommon?

YABU. I bet she has form for this. It’s disgusting, antisocial and not something working class, low paid staff should have to deal with.

I’m not really bothered, it’s nicer being nice.

Yeah, not really bothered about the shop staff are you? More worried about the woman who did the shit than the poor staff who had to clean it up and dispose of it.
Strange idea of being nice.

Oh thank you! That makes sense!

I have got IBS and once I pood myself in a shop. Hastily left without buying anything. Must have looked really suspicious. I would never ever have pulled my pants down and done this on a shelf. Wtf!! No consideration for the staff. @suchgreatheights2 I don't have much empathy for her..

I save my sympathy for the poor person who has to clear it up.

Yes, Thames Valley Police.

Thames Valley Police I think

😂😂😂

A right poodunnit.

So it was at my first job, I was only 18, and she was in a diff department but it had been going on for a while, there were notes up in the toilet from management and stuff, then one day she just wasn’t there. No one from above ever said what had happened, but obviously word spreads among the staff (no pun intended) and there was no more shit smearing or notes in toilet after. I really want to know what was going on and if she got another job! This was pre proper social media so once she left she was just gone, no easy way to trace where she had gone. Wonder if she left a pooper trail.

That same workplace btw had a guy who stood up in the middle of the shift and said ‘I’ve shit myself and have to go home’ and just left. He just came back the next day and carried on as normal.

My friend who I made at that workplace and I still talk about it 20+ years later

If it was an incontinence issue she’d shit her pants.

she has either pulled her trousers and underwear down in the store and positioned her arse over the shelf and crimped one out. Or brought one with her she’d prepared earlier and left it on the shelf.

What is TVP?

The poo shelf woman is the new cat bin lady.

I actually think we need a bit more shaming of appalling behaviour. Same with the dine and dashers.

TVP took the post down that included a pic and asked others to do the same.
