I'm sorry, Conde Nast, but someone taking a dump and not flushing sounds downright glamour-ous compared with my weekend, when Michael and I discovered that someone took a shit on the floor in the bathroom at Westville in Chelsea during brunch. While it would be preferable to think some poor patron just had an "accident" after having consumed such a large amount of roughage all at once -- they were in the right room, after all!-- it's safe to say people don't accidentally drop a deuce on the floor and then just forget about it. What's most disturbing is this is the second time I've encountered something like this in 2011 (different restaurant, but still. Is this the year of the dump and run?) -- and I'm already dealing with THIS! Now before you go thinking I have Butt-Munchausen by proxy syndrome, let me assure you I had nothing to do with either incident(!), although I also saved the day one time when I discovered that someone had put paper towels over the bathroom sink's drain at Westville one time and then turned the water on full blast. (I happened to walk in right before it began to run over and flood the place, the perpetrator's obvious intention.) Perhaps someone has a vendetta against someone at Westville -- I can't imagine why, they're all really nice -- but my guess is that, as I've been saying for ages, a lot of people are just fucking disgusting.

Doesn't quite top the mentally ill patient (who in a fad during the early 90s was released into the 'community' by the British Columbia Government in the name of saving money) who proceeded to smear his shit all over the walls and floor in the toilet at the Starbucks where I was working (Robson 1, in Vancouver).
At a busy time too. I remain forever indebted to the fellow barista who without a complaint volunteered to clean it up - and spent the next two hours doing so.
The moral of the story; wingnuts always want to save money but mostly it means shifting costs to the wider community that can't really afford to pay.
