PORTLAND - Some neighbors in Southeast Portland are upset that a postal carrier caught relieving himself in a backyard was returning to his old route.

I would be beyond ticked if I had caught him and then seen him in my neighborhood again with a mailbag and wearing a postal uniform.

WTF Onder what are you talking about??? Are you implying that people in the private sector don't poop at all?
great idea

nasty! although it would've been funnier if the postal carrier pooped in the mailbox.
reminds me of a time in my teens when I was coming home with a friend from a field party. we were cutting through a golf course when he really had to go.
where you may ask? I think it was the 14th hole.
he envisioned some Judge Smails-like guy sinking a long putt the next morning and running over to retrieve his ball.

I'm not a postal or govt worker by any stretch but I kind of feel for the guy! I mean he doesn't seem to pick the same yard or have it out for anyone.
I believe that a new procedure is in order and in this under funded economy, where port a potty's are not as prevalent as they used to be, each mail carrier must be outfitted with at least 2 mutt mitts while canvasing an area.
Or better yet, govt issue diapers (you know the NASA approved kind).
There goes the price of stamps again.

Not that I approve of defecating in public mind you, but I do kind of feel for the guy. No facilities available for him, on a tight time line to complete his route...Sometimes nature strikes at inopportune moments.

Someone must have given him some table scraps that were too rich for him too?

Cate +1. I completely understand how he must have felt.
Been there, done that, enough said.

I didn't realize this was such a problem for our postal workers.
I suppose all that walking would loosen things up a bit.
maybe they could take a cue from those Jim Dandy 'toilet-on-the-door' paintings and install a real, functional toilet inside the vehicle (on the right side of course).
since most of these trucks are stored down at the USPS annex down on Leary, they could just dump the 'special delivery' where all those other guys parked down there do.
(note: this sort of stunt would've been easier when they drove those tough, military-looking jeeps, instead of the soccer-mom mini-vans they cruise these days)

BH - glad I could help. :)
And for what it is worth, when I drove for Metro all of us drivers had a "T" key that fit restrooms all over KC, inside convenience stores, gas station, bathrooms installed by Metro at various locations and many other County and Port of Seattle facilities. It was a very handy key to have when you were out and about on your day off.

Hah! The T-key. So that's what they meant by getting a key to the city. A very high honor indeed.
People who drive trucks longhaul have a special term for what they do when caught without a restroom. Trucker bombs. If you see a plastic jug on the shoulder of a road... don't open it.

Is that where the term " message in a bottle" came from ?
