Skin in the City

Okay...I know times are hard right now--unemployment is up, salaries are stagnant, gas is expensive--but really, can we try to have a little respect these days?

I was walking down 83rd street three days ago and I thought I heard water leaking from somewhere. I turned to my right, and there it was, a 2-foot long bare bottom spewing it's waste on a car!

I realize that people may not be able to use a public restroom because they're homeless, but come on--going to the bathroom on someone's car?! Go against a brick wall! Find a corner! Have some dignity and respect for other people's property!

As some of you faithful readers know, this isn't the first time I've had the luck of viewing strip-happy strangers' private parts, so I am running a tally for the year. Right now, I'm up to three. What about you?

Gjoe - would love to hear more about them!

I have witnessed one or too, and sometimes you can surely smell that "the spewers" have been there. Gosh, these modern men...

Oh you know how it goes....Im in Portland walking down the street during lunch hour out for my usual stroll.
As I approach Congress Street I see up ahead one of the bums, obviously shit faced, kind of half pressed up aginst the brick building. I get closer and then...WOAH...yeah, all right buddy there's your dick and your takin' a piss on the buildling.

I was thinking I should like push him over or into it, or something. But I was in my work clothes and he was, well a bum. Who knows what kind of shit storm that could have resulted in. So I just kept on movin', hoping that one day the image of a drunken, discheveld bums penis would fade from my memory.

Thanks for bringing it back to the surface. I wont sleep much tonight. :)

Well, I haven't seen any but I'm sorry to say i was busted doing just that. Luckily it was my wife and I was in the back yard... wait, before you ask why didn't i go inside - let me say, i had been working in the hot sun for several hours and was lying on the ground from exuastion... so when i tried to go in, lets say my man instincts took over and i let the cave man in me go...

G Joe- OMG if you had pushed him he probably would have gone crazy on you! Sorry if I induced any nightmares for you but thanks for sharing nevertheless =p

MCFC - I think putting in a full day's work for your home entitles you to pee wherever you want, as long as it's not the neighborh's yard--or your pet. =) Thanks for sharing!

The one that really got to me a while back was seeing a mother help her little girl go to the bathroom. Between two parked cars, the mother picked the little girl up so the girl's back was to the mother's chest. Then the mother raised the girl's legs out in front of them so the little girl could pee on the ground. Yeah, that's the way to teach your children to behave in public!

Morgan - OMG,the only thing close to that I have is when I was living in Taiwan, a friend saw a woman let her child poop in the median strip on a major road. I guess pooper scoopers can be for small children as well!
