My subdivision backs onto some beautiful woods. I walk through them with my dogs at least twice a day to take my son to school.
Yesterday evening as I was driving past the small parking lot on the main road near the woods I noticed some gypsies had set up camp there.
So today as I’m walking my dogs on my usual route I realise I’m close to the parking lot. I look up (without my glasses on) and notice two people in red jackets, one is standing and the other is bending over. As I got closer I realised one was squatting with his bare ass facing towards me taking a dump in the middle of the paved pathways and the other is passing the toilet paper! FFS. 2:30pm, broad daylight, no attempt to go behind one of the thousand trees in the woods.

Ok Ithought we were about to have a conversation about whether or not you'll poop in a public restroom - like say, Walmart.
This is NOT what I expected! WTF!? I would definitely call the cops. Nasty.

I would also call the police.
I also thought this was about pooping in public bathrooms. I wish it was!

Well, after hearing reports on the radio, it seems to be the thing to do in San Francisco. They say there are so many human feces on the sidewalks it's disgusting.  |

I live in uptown San Diego and walk a mile and a half to and from work every day. Daily I have to wonder to myself if the pile of poop I’m about to step over is human or dog.

I called the local council and they made a note of it and told me to call the police. I called the police and they made a note of it and told me to call the council!! The police told me they are aware of the camp and are monitoring it but since I couldn’t give more details about the offenders, they couldn’t pursue it.

Where do you live?
My aunt and uncle are currently in China and they say that you can’t Leave the house without people pooping, peeing, vomiting, spitting, etc in public. Even in the city where they live.
I’m curious if the people you saw were of a different culture where it could be the norm to do this? Doesn’t make it ok to do in our culture, but might give an explanation. I agree, it is gross.

Did they want a detailed description of his arse, a mug shot maybe? God, people are disgusting. |

That is gross! There was a serial pooper in Colorado Springs last Fall/Summer who people would see out for a run early in the morning and stop to poop. I don't know if they ever caught her. I heard someone did this at a run at WDW this past weekend, which again is gross. I am guessing that the gypsies likely do this based on their living conditions but I sure don't understand why. I hope my life never sinks to that kind of level:(

Gypsies have designated areas they can camp on anywhere else is illegal. Where in the UK are you? People are so disgusting |

Recently on the news here, they showed a photo of a woman that someone's home video captured of her jogging. They were asking if anyone recognized her. Evidently, she was also caught on camera taking a dump right there in the middle of the path in broad daylight. Grrr! People!

I feel like pooping in the woods is OK in an emergency but not on any kind of path for crying out loud.

We had that issue in our city last year. It has been decided that it is gross and certainly not normal.

Is that the same as homeless people? |

No, not the same as homeless people. Travellers usually live in caravans, park them illegally, make a mess then leave it for someone else to clear up. They're often involved in crime.
Try and catch My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding if you can.

Leave them a copy of the book “How to shit in the woods”.
Just kidding, but it is an actual book. I own it!

When I lived in CA i was going down the stairs and I saw through the window at the top of the stairs 2 guys roll up in their car, one gets out and starts peeing on the side of my house. I opened the window and yelled at them and they took off. It's unreal.

Yeah, they are moving somewhere else in the near future (not sure where the job will send them yet) but my aunt said that she couldn’t wait to be able to leave the house without a mask and without having to see bodily fluids/functions. |

That is so gross! I can't believe people would just squat on sidewalks and walking paths. I understand if the need arose and you went behind a tree, trying to hide. and WTH did they do with the toilet paper if they hadn't dug a hole and had the audacity to poop in the open on a path?! I really don't want to know the answer to that question. |

Somehow I've managed to skate through 52 years of life without having the need to poop in the middle of a walkway!

This is SO disgusting but it happened in my town about a month ago. Unfortunately it was posted along with a photo.  A person went into the part of the post office that has the post office boxes. Each bay is inset like a horseshoe only square. Sometime in the early am before the post office was open, a patron went in to get his mail. You guessed it. Someone had pooped and left it there along with toilet paper. I never saw any follow up so I don’t know if anything ever came of it. It was likely a transient so would never had been caught anyway most likely. I know our town is looking into installing the very expensive portable toilets that are made of stainless steel inside and out. Easier to clean evidently. |
