      There’s like a whole thing with marathon and ultramarathon runners just shitting themselves while running. There’s something physiological that happens when you push the body that much. So I’m not so surprised that “pit stops” in the bushes were an issue that required a ruling.

      Im salty about the smoking guy though: Justice for Chain-Smoking Chen! China has the world’s only living train and they treat him like this!

        Every once and a while you hear about a “serial pooper” in the news…

        Some idiot that runs a lot everyday, and just starts shitting in random people’s yards then running away.

        And everytime they’re caught, they always act like they don’t understand why everyone is mad.

        They’re so wrapped up in competitive running, they assume shitting in someone’s front yard is totally cool.

        Someone just got caught on video doing it at the last Boston Marathon

        But my city had some lady who was doing it everyday recently. She ran a new route everyday and would just drop deuces anywhere in broad daylight then sprint away, so it was hard to catch her… I think they may have done DNA analysis on her droppings, because of course she wasn’t bagging up either.

      Fortunately, he was not guilty of that. The article was just listing more rules from the rulebook.
