If you ever lived in south FL...there are bugs everywhere. Mosquitos and Palmetto bugs (American Cockroach)... which is the largest roach and they fly very well. Like a bunch of small bats when you turn the lights on. Giant spiders too.

Why didn't your wife just video it along with the guy getting back in his car and post it on social media? Post it on the local law enforcement's website too.

That’s easy, she was too busy heckling the tard. Besides, the way the public mindset is currently at right now, she probably would be attacked for violating his private civil rights.

Costa Rica isn’t looking too bad right now....

Then when they do get a chance to swing by, the person is gone. Unfortunately with Departments being short handed, that’s the way it is in today’s environment.

Oh no I would not waste my (or their) time calling the police on something like this.

However if the offender was unlucky enough to be caught in the act they could be written up. I think the police can even handcuff the perp and haul them in.

A few years ago I was sitting in McDonald's drive thru during the California International Marathon, and a chick (probably late 20's, early 30's) darts off the course, squats down and takes a whiz not 30' from where I'm sitting. She looked right at me - we even made eye contact - as if it was nothing. After 20s or so, she jumped up, pulled up her pants, and rejoined the race.

At work we often find kids toys up underneath exhibits.

The other day we found a plastic recreation of the poop emoticon.

Which got me thinking... why do we need a poop emoticon?

I guess this thread answers that question.

Marathoners get a pass. I've done that plenty of times in a race where the next set of port-o-potties was too far off.

In El Paso businesses post signs in the restrooms alerting our friends from Juarez that toilet paper goes in the toilet and not in the trashcan after you wipe.

My brother used to work in Chad, Africa for a big oil company.

They tried bringing civilization in the form of road side porta-potties, but traditions are hard to break.

They then put up no pooping signs which I still remember my brother posting an image of on Facebook, that didn't help matters much but it sure was funny.

The guy I know that poops outdoors is a builder (no cigars - sorry Dean).

All the builders I know have a favorite corner on the side of their house so they can go #1 before going inside the house. That serves an actual function as they might be holding it until they get home but are all muddy and still might have to unload the truck.

It's a really odd thing but must go along with other primal behaviors, and let's face it most just are not cut out for indoor office life. If you don't like the great outdoors, I suggest not becoming a builder. They are a different breed.

been in construction most all of my life and don't know anybody like kachies friends.

however, have seen many people in other countries just go where ever they wanted. Used to see the Vietnamese women walking along, stop, pull up one pajama leg, kick of the sandal and pee down that leg. Used to see them line up on the rice paddy dikes in the morning squatting there and taking a dump in the rice paddy. their own food.

I was at a local shopping center the other day and was pulling into a parking spot. Just as I was about to pull in I noticed there was a man squatted down in the spot taking a dump. The best part of this is there was a store 25 feet away that has a public restroom. All I could think was some poor person will be walking through the lot and step in this idiots crap. I found another spot to park on and walked around the other way.
