Apparent-ly...
"I've noticed this several times in the last couple of months, including yesterday and today - there has been a pile of excrement on the (closed off) steps towards the end of the train on Manhattan bound side of 7th Ave. B/Q station. I feel for the person who has to do this, and I feel for the person who has to clean this up, but I also feel for the subway riders who have to encounter this smell and sight on an increasingly regular basis."
What do you think, bitches?:Rogue shitter or someone taking a stand against the evil MTA?

The 7th Ave stop borders on the Flatbush neck of the woods. I used to live there, and people just shat wherever they pleased all the time. I have evidence!

I used to live in that building and saw poo and pee puddles on a regular basis. I feel for those who have to deal with it on their way to work.

Do you go to jail for shitting on a subway platform?

I used to live off the Morgan stop on the L, which was then -- and probably still is -- a semi barren wasteland of dying industry and hipster homesteaders. One day coming home from work, upon leaving the station at the unmanned, slightly sketch exit, I saw black markered signs posted everywhere.
"Hey you!"
"Over here!"
Accompanying the signs were hastily drawn black arrows pointing the eye towards something. Compelled, I followed the arrows like a treasure hunt . . . . except treasure was not what awaited me.
"Did you lose something?"
In the corner of the entrance, below an arrow pointing downward, was a big pile of shit.
Ah the joys of living in New York.
I once saw a human turd *on* the J train.
For reelz.
Public pooping is just a sign that there aren't enough public facilities. Who likes shitting in public? Most likely these are homeless individuals. There's a basic human need for privacy and dignity that is unmet (along with countless other needs for housing, food etc). This is really a benchmark of our civility, that in a city as advanced as ours people still defecate in the open. This is common in many cities in the developing world but really is a shame to see here. It may be gross to encounter but it's sad to have to hide in the shadows of a subway stop to take care of a primary human need.
