I remember him telling me that at one point he pulled over and did it in his shoe, as there was a lot of traffic and he couldn’t do it outside. He lamented that he had ruined a good pair of Florsheims.

Whoever this “culprit” was, I’m sure it was an emergency and that he is filled with shame over it. I hope he is okay now. I recall the motto of The Order of the Garter, an ancient British group of nobles. It’s in Norman French. “Honi soit qui mal y pense.” “Shamed be he who thinks evil”. It’s also on the Royal coat of arms.

My grandpa told me to do it in my hat.

Crohn's Disease Symptoms And Types And How They May Affect You

Krohns disease, also called Irritable Bowel disease is more common as people age. It has nothing to do with "being privileged".

Please read this;
Approximately 3 million U.S. adults are estimated to have ever received a diagnosis of IBD, a disease that is associated with decreased quality of life, substantial morbidity, and complications requiring hospitalizations and surgical procedures (2–4). This is almost three times the number of adults previously estimated to have IBD based on administrative data sources and limited geographic coverage (6,8,9).

Differences in IBD prevalence among a number of sociodemographic subgroups reveal that prevalence is not uniform across the U.S. adult population. Consistent with past research that found the prevalence of both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis increase with age (8), a higher prevalence of IBD was found among adults aged ≥45 years in this nationally representative population. Furthermore, a significantly higher prevalence of IBD among non-Hispanic whites was found, consistent with racial/ethnic differences previously reported using 1999 NHIS data (7). However, other results differed from previous reports. For example, although the current study found no significant differences in the prevalence of IBD by health insurance coverage type among adults aged <65 years or ≥65 years, previous analyses using claims data found that commercially insured persons had a higher prevalence of IBD than did persons insured by Medicaid (5). Furthermore, significant regional (5,7,8) and sex (7,8) differences identified in past research were not found in this study. Finally, significant differences among sociodemographic characteristics such as education level, employment status, nativity, and poverty status were identified in this study, but not elsewhere. Other researchers have speculated that subgroup differences likely exist for many of the same measures, but small sample sizes and less heterogeneous populations have limited their ability to produce stable, reliable estimates (9). Inconsistencies in findings might also be attributable to differences in data collection methods (e.g., survey data versus claims data) and geographic coverage (e.g., county level versus national level).

Just more proof that it’s never the dogs fault when poop is left on the ground.

Being in an older community there are people who suffer from all types of ailments, possibly he has Crohns disease or chronic IBS, and when that pain hits you, he may have been really upset and at least tried to hide. The fact that you saw him, no doubt he was startled and possibly embarrassed and took off quickly.

I feel bad for the guy. He was probably out on his cart-in a tough moment, saw the building and thought...." oh, thank God!".....but no- the doors were locked. At that point- no stopping nature....and then YOU came along.

Last night I was walking my dog along Stillwater and turned into the parking lot at Mallory Pool. There was a single golf cart parked in the first slot, with no one inside, nor did I see anyone around. My thought was that a person was walking their dog (or dogs) and might be behind the pool. We continued on walking along the sidewalk towards the postal station. My dog stopped, walked into the grassy area between the pool and the postal station, about 4-5 feet and stared. I always carry and use my flashlight so I shined it to the back area and a guy popped out from behind the hedges (he didn't have a dog), walked towards us and then veered through the landscaping to walk around the postal station as if he might be getting his mail.

My dog turned around and we proceeded to walk to check to see if I had mail, and then my dog decided he wanted to circle behind the postal station (yes he does have me well trained). My dog walked along the hedge row and then stopped near the hedges on the corner where the guy suddenly popped out. My flashlight revealed a surprise lying on the ground at the base of the hedge. Can you guess what the twist is? Well not quite that, but real close. Lying there was a pair of men's briefs which appeared to be freshly soiled. Needless to say, I wouldn't let my dog near it, we circled back around the postal station. When we got around to the front of the postal station, the guy who had popped out drives by in the golf cart I saw near the Stillwater side of the the pool area, and exits on the Odell side.

Now I will be the first to admit I did not see him leave this "package", but sometimes you just KNOW it. I decided to give him (or the culprit) the benefit of the doubt that he would go back and cleanup after himself. I waited to post this in the hopes that would happen, but the briefs were still there tonight.

So....a poop thread with a twist....another thread on the "entitled"...you can decide for yourself. I know, a cr*ppy situation no matter which way you look at it.

It is interesting that you find that so offensive and yet walking your dog on public, community property is not.

I don't think the problem is that the man had an accident. Let's face it, that could happen to anyone, if the bathrooms are locked and we have an urgent need. The problem is that he just left his mess lying there for someone else to cleanup! That is not acceptable. We are all expected to clean up after our pets, for goodness sakes, why would he not just take his mess and throw it in the trash, rather than leaving it for someone else to pick up? That is what I think the poster was trying to say. He even gave him the benefit of the doubt that he was going to go back and clean it up later and checked, but it was still there. If this person can't remember to do that, perhaps he should not be driving a golf cart, right? If he can't remember to clean up after himself, he might need to be in assisted living, rather than out driving a vehicle at all. IMHO

He may have been startled and embarrassed when he saw Op and simply wanted to avoid drawing attention to himself. So he pretended to check his mail and got the heck out of there. Under the circumstances, that seems pretty understandable.

And I was just going to look at dogs....thank you, I can cross that off my list!

[OhioBuckeye]

Maybe he’s got a weird Fetish! You better just chalk it it up as a weird dream!

[newgirl]

He may have planned on cleaning up but since he was being stalked by a barking dog and a person with a flashlight that would not move on, I can see why he would just run.
