Oh, Poop!


From Casey: On the 52 bus. McDonald's grilled chicken and a dirty diaper. Had to open the window for the smell.

First there was the Red Line sunflower seed eater, then there was the Red Line chicken wing eater. Now, it would appear people think it's acceptable to leave dirty diapers on Metrorail and Metrobus.

Protip: Don't do this.

From Ken:
To the woman who felt the need to change her 2 1/2 year old son's diaper the other afternoon on the Red Line, thank you.

And the rest of the riders especially thank you for leaving the dirty diaper on the train seat, even after your friend told you that there was a trash can right outside the train car in Gallery Place.

Unbelievable!
