Sometimes sickness hits instantly, or something someone ate. People vomit in public places..sometimes the same thing happens with the other end.
She should have cleaned it up, 100%.

I wouldn't be too judgmental. It's a necessary bodily function. When you have to go, you have to go. This was an emergency. How often do you hear about delivery drivers pooping on driveway? Give her a break.

You know there appear to be vehicles parked in driveways, why couldn't she knock on a few doors? Or worst case scenario take off the floppy yellow safety vest and poop in that and toss it. Pretty sure she's gonna lose her job over this anyway, using the vest would have at least saved her dignity.

When you've got to go, you've got to go. But the niceties of civilization, that call for the proper follow-up, apparently haven't extended to everyone.

As others have noted, the issue is not cleaning up after the "emergency" is over.

I was in a thrift store that caters to busloads of seniors on walkers and canes. It had a sign on the front door, "Bathrooms are for employees Only". That's rude if you ask me.

Maybe this in only in New York State? What are other states like? Maybe those who are more horrified by the Amazon employee's behavior have better access to public restrooms?
If you live anywhere near me, there is NO END to places "on the corner" with public restrooms. Even the more rural areas there are tons of places to "go". There would be no excuse whatsoever for such ignorant behavior. Honestly. Only someone raised in a barn would think this was appropriate.

I'm not saying it's acceptable but I do know it's something you have no control over. You're blessed if you haven't had an experience like this as I have and I know others that have too. Most poop their pants and then have to sit in it until they can get somewhere to clean up - it comes on you so fast that you don't have time to be running around trying to find a bathroom.

It's easy to judge others when you have no idea what the circumstances were and I'm willing to give this person the benefit of the doubt that it came on that fast after it happening to me - TG I was home - but I didn't make it to the bathroom - and probably sometime in your life - you'll be able to enjoy the experience of the same kind of thing. Have fun with it as it's the most embarrassing, humbling thing you will ever experience.

nurses and people in situations where it is part of their job are a different breed. i couldn't do it. but that is part of their job and they know that going in.

This is one and the same thing when our esteemed poster was talking about e-coli! People get over it - it's poop - most people would have cleaned it up thinking a dog left it and there would be no story.
