Yet Another Public Pooper…Though This One Actually Apologizes

Yet Another Public Pooper…Though This One Actually Apologizes
Jul 05, 2013 By eChinacities.com

You know you’re living in a progressive society when people at least apologize after they defecate in public. Carrying on with tradition this week, this one once again occurred on a public bus, though this time it was passengers on 218 route in Chengdu who played witness to the wondrous sight.

Yesterday, a Weibo post gained popularity after it detailed an incident where the user spotted an old woman relieving herself into a potty. The user noted that the old woman had an upset stomach, though reactions to the post were predictably scathing nonetheless.

A reporter later learned that upon hearing of the woman’s discomfort, the bus driver did offer to stop to let her out to go to the toilet. Stating that she was in too much pain, she relieved herself on the spot though was quick to apologize to her fellow passengers, and even cleaned up the mess when she got off.

The Weibo post telling the story was soon deleted and the condemning netizens also expressed forgiveness towards the woman. Who says there’s no community spirit left in China?

I thought it was normal when I see kids being held by their parents peeing and pooping inside malls onto trash bins. When in Rome! But the toilet is actually just around the corner...

Saw a kid pissing in bottle on the subway today in Shanghai. Never mind that a toilet is just out the door as the subway had stopped
