I think we have a new Serial Shitter to
contend with. Which, I guess, means I need to get off my ass and tell
the story of the old one first. I don't know for sure who the new one
is, but I suspect they are one of the "special" patrons who come in with
the local Unobstructed Doors social services group. In which case it
might not entirely be their fault that they keep shitting on the seat of
our public toilet. All I know is, I'm a little irritated at having to
clean it up.
As I've said in past entries here, Unobstructed Doors
has made it policy that their aids have to bring their mentally
handicapped clients to the library every week. So far, D-Day has been
on Weird Wednesday and so far we've had S.S. incidents on the past
couple of Wednesdays (and a Thursday or two to boot). Not conclusive,
but enough to draw circumstantial evidence.
We're not the only library to
have problems in this regard. Mrs. V, of a neighboring county library,
reports that her public restroom is regularly befouled by the
Unobstructed Doors crowd and in much more unpleasant ways than a dab of
poo on the toilet seat. It seems the special patrons there have
veritable Poo Festivals in her bathroom and she's fed up with it. In
fact, she asked one of the Unobstructed Doors aids to clean up after her
client. The aid said that she wasn't about to do anything of the sort,
to which Mrs. V said, "It's not my job to clean up shit. It's yours."
The aid protested that she disagreed with this assessment and believed
it was indeed Mrs. V's job to clean up the shit. Mrs. V
counter-protested that it was not and added the threat that if the aid
didn't go in and clean up the shit right then, she, Mrs. V, was going to
call the aid's superiors and tell them what had happened and insist
that they have the aid come back down to the liberry and clean the shit
up after all. That seemed to do the trick. We haven't had any such
confrontations yet, but I fear they are not far off.
