Your Friday Poop Fix: Postal Worker Defecates by Portland Residence

"I thought he had a lot of packages to deliver for us," said Don Derfler, the Portland man whose yard was pooped in by a postal worker. But it wasn't a package he was delivering!

Okay, that's a gimme, and KATU already made basically the same joke. But the facts do not change: when Derfler, one of our neighbors to the south, noticed a postal worker acting strangely to the side of his house, he pulled out his camera. A series of photos capture the unidentified mail carrier pulling down his pants, squatting, dropping a deuce and pulling his pants back up, plus what he left behind.

Notice that none of these photos include this man (a) wiping or (b) whipping out a bottle of hand sanitizer.

The pooper's co-workers say that he's pretty mortified, and it's hard to find a bathroom when you're on the job sometimes--which seems understandable, on both counts. When it comes to Number 2, though, it seems risky to make the world your bathroom, especially when your clothing makes you immediately identifiable.

Plus, the sleuths over at KATU did some research for our poop-perpetrator:

Within two blocks from where the incident occurred, there is a public park with porta potties and a store with a public bathroom. It is not known why he didn’t go there.

The postal service has put him on unpaid leave, pending some disciplinary action to be determined.
