This evening. Lovely mild, light, spring evening, decide to go for a gentle stroll in the park with DD and dogs. See charming young couple walking hand in hand in front of us, no small children, no special needs, no mobility issues. "Ah, loves young dream" I think.

Shortly, the couple separate and walk slowly in different directions. "Ah, going to pose for a softly backlit photo to show their romance blossoming" I think.

Couple remain, separated but squatting in bushes. "Ah a simple game of hide and seek to show spontaneous nature of loves young dream" I naively think Hmm.

On approaching, as walking the dogs, I am able to see she has her trousers down and is weeing/pooing in the bushes. Turn back to see squatting shatting boyfriend is now standing and weeing against a tree.

Shock Angry Angry Angry I got the rage.

Me loudest voice with tone of righteous indignation "EXCUSE ME? EXCUSE ME? There is a public toilet 100metres over there" I was ignored, and given a shrug of the shoulders by little Miss Holly Golightly.

So I repeat, my volume rising "EXCUSE ME? There is a public toilet, that is OPEN just over there. I suggest you go and use it as I DONT WANT TO SEE YOUR BARE ARSE!". Point at Golum boy, and repeat same phrase.

Loves young dream ( Golum boy and Golightly) pull up their trousers and shuffle off, muttering "alright! alright" under their breath. Was it a dare, a FB craze, a bizarre fetish, extreme sport dogging???? I don't care.

DD gives me a Grin, I give her a Wink, we carry on our walk.

AIBU???

Richmond Park for bikes is best at what used to be the Robin Hood Gate, by the horse stable and big A3 roundabout, going towards London, before big Asda.

Roehampton is next the best with a decent car park and as it is wide and flat.

Obviously not Kingston Gate where, at 6.30 on a school night people go for a shit in public. That is why I posted, it's by the kids playground Shock

Eeew!
Perhaps warnings are required like those dog fouling penalty signs you get. An outline of someone crouching over a steaming pile with 'no crapping

here you dirty beggars' or suchlike.

ACatCalledColin · 02/04/2014 22:40

This didn't happen, did it? Grin

MichaelFinnigan · 02/04/2014 22:42

I'm in awe nit only at their ability to coordinate their needs but also to be able to perform at will

It takes me at least three days in a new place before I can comfortably...make myself comfortable

ACatCalledColin · 02/04/2014 22:45

I am in awe of how comfortable they both were to have a shit in public. Most people won't even have a shit in other peoples toilets.

ResponsibleAdult · 02/04/2014 22:48

Gah! Which bit of this is false? None of it! It all happened. This evening. At Kingston Gate. In Richmond Park. At 6.30. With my DD and two idiot dogs.

I have lived locally for 10 years, walk my dogs in the park twice daily for ten years.

NEVER, EVER, EVER, have I seen anything untoward! if you don't include dope smoking sixth formers "pushing the boundaries" , until, today, I witnessed this. Brain bleach please.

Brownie, scout, guides, promise, kiss my heart and hope to die, it is true. What would I stand to gain from making it up, seriously???.

I won't say, you scatalogical apologist, because that is inflammatory and troll like, but very funny

I suppose this isn't the time to mention that I once shat behind a bus stop when I was caught short out on a run.

In my defence it was a very rural bus stop.

Quinteszilla · 02/04/2014 23:02

But, but but, you missed the Cube of Poo.

edwinbear · 02/04/2014 23:06

monty you should see a particular set of bushes near where I live at the start of the London Marathon. Lots of the runners 'relax' there after the tension of the start. I had been told it is not an unusual occurrence in runners, but now I shall look at them all with fresh eyes.

ThatBloodyWoman · 02/04/2014 23:07

Ha.
To think people on mn worry about visitors pooping in their downstairs loo.

ACatCalledColin · 02/04/2014 23:08

Nah, you're not a troll. This didn't happen though.

And if it did...well like I said I'm in awe of their confidence to shit wherever. There are people who won't shit in any toilet that's not their own.

Maybe the public toilet was all germy?

beginnings · 02/04/2014 23:10

I'm trying to dream feed here people!! The shoulders shaking and snorting are disturbing DD2.

Is this really a thing?! And in Richmond Park? I'd be afraid of being booted in the arse by a deer!

PowerPantsRule · 02/04/2014 23:14

FENTON! Jesus Christ FENTON!

MoominsYonisAreScary · 02/04/2014 23:15

Fucking hell, some people are bloody odd

ResponsibleAdult · 03/04/2014 00:07

This DID HAPPEN. I always struggle to have not said anything. I am very outspoken by nature. This is not a good thing.

TBF I have form for telling people off in public (see my poster name). I just struggle with anti social behaviour, have a secondary teacher school background. And a loud voice.

If my kids or dogs shouldn't be doing it, nor should you. You will be told off. God I sound bossy. Think Kirsty whatserface off location, location, location, but shorter and thinner.

Do you want another example of me shouting at members of the public?? All true.

piss off you troll accusers.

I had a very traumatic experience whilst pregnant with 2dc . I had to go for PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) counselling. Took so long to get referred, 2dc had arrived by time of appointment.

To get to London counselling centre I had to catch the train with PFB and baby in buggy. At Clapham Junction bunch of 4-5 teenage kids were messing around on the platform. As the train tries to pull away one of the five kids grabs two muffins from the platform shop and jumps on, as doors close. Much laughing by other teenagers.

Me - hurumph, big crossness, bite my tongue. Say nothing.

Teenage kids start breaking up muffins and chucking across carriage. Making big mess. My kids get frightened.

I shout "THATS ENOUGH!!! All of you! What would your mother say to this behaviour!? They would be appalled. STOP IT NOW! You will get off the train and my tiny kids will be blamed for this disgusting mess. STOP IT!

Teenagers, look ashamed, mutter apologies. Say sorry. Two shuffle of train. Some random adult, who had said nothing previously pipes up with some random insulting comment. I respond, "that's enough! They said sorry, move on".

Train moves on. New people get on, see mess by the buggy,assumes it is mine and tut at me Angry Angry too late to explain.

See, not good at holding tongue. Not a troll.

The idea of not wiping upsets me.

PowerPantsRule · 03/04/2014 00:36

And me Innogen. First thing I thought of. Unless they used dock leaves.

SolidGoldBrass · 03/04/2014 00:36

I believe the OP. There is nothing in this world that someone somewhere doesn't have a fetish for. But I would recommend Being A Responsible Pervert and, if you get off on watching your beloved kack in the park, take a plastic bag and use the dogshit bin once you've had your thrills.

ParkingFred · 03/04/2014 00:46

A few years ago, dh was working in South of France for a while and I went over for a week to see him.

Passing the time one day in a park in Nice, I was aware of a group of 4 women chatting on a nearby bench. They were in their 60s, I'd guess.

To my open mouthed amazement, one of the group broke away, walked over to a shrubby area, squatted down and had a shit.

I was Shock for the rest of the day.

VisualiseAHorse · 03/04/2014 01:14

I remember being about 17, sitting up In my ex-boyfriends room and I causally glanced out of the window. It was about 6pm, and as I looked out of the window, I saw a grown man pull down his trousers and shit against a wall opposite said boyfriends house. Being 17, I opened the window and should "oi you forty bugger you gonna pick that up?".

VisualiseAHorse · 03/04/2014 01:15

*dirty not forty. STupid ipad.

SolidGoldBrass · 03/04/2014 02:10

ISTR another MNer's H looking out of the window in time to catch some random woman dropping her pants and shitting in the alley near their house. (BoF, that was your H wasn't it?)

Though I am a bit boggled by all this 'couldn't you hold on?' Sometimes when you gotta go you gotta go.

WitchWay · 03/04/2014 07:34

Known as Scat but perhaps ought to be called Crap Sex...

TiggyKBE · 03/04/2014 08:15

I'm planning on going to Richmond park sometime. Is parking easy/available/cheap there? Are there non-shitting zones? Are there food places and lots to do?
