where have all the toilets gone?

there is a problem plaguing the city that demands urgent attention. on my way to class i walked past what could only be human defecation and on my way back from class i passed two different men at different times who had just relieved themselves against different walls.

i understand that there are times when one has to go and that men are equipped with the blessing of ease of bladder release, but this is not the countryside this is the city. your bodily excretion has no where to go in a city except clutter up the pavements and various other concrete varieties that have replaced lawns, fields and dust that would absorb such crap in the country.

the city needs to do something. i am thinking the supply of the public ablution facilities is now at an all time high and of the utmost necessity. we have clearly breached the crisis wall in order for me to have encountered three cases of human waste in one day...

the parks will have to have loos for both sexes that are serviced and monitored and cant be without paper and proper hygine. i have run around hopping like a bunny on a stick wondering where all the loos have gone and exercised award winning restraint until home but others may not have the home to run too!

the public loo seems to have disappeared, become a thing of the past, much like the public bench come to think of it, but it needs to be put back. the excess of tax dollars would have to fund this human right as there cant be a surcharge for the use of the facility. a surcharge defeats the purpose of whom the toilet would aim to service. i propose lobbying local government or removing their loos to see how they would hold it.

You're dead right.

You don't say which city, but i think it is a problem, that plagues all cities.

I was in the UK a couple of years ago, and whereas the previous time I have been there one could buy a "Good loo guide", this time even the main railway stations had a couple of plastic contraptions on the stations that one had to pay a pound to enter.

It's piss in your pants or piss on the street.
