New York can be an unforgiving town for those desperately in need of a bathroom – a problem these space age electronic pay toilets were supposed to rectify. But Subway Blogger recently witnessed a big fail at the Madison Square Park toilet, during which a poor woman who urgently needed to use the toilet was first stymied by an older man who “maybe couldn’t find the button to get out of there.” And when he finally emerged, she was further delayed by the toilet’s lengthy self-cleaning cycle. It was then that our blogger witnessed an adult “literally crapping her shorts… I had to pull out my camera, because I was going to have to tell this story, and no one was going to believe me.” Three cheers for blogs!
