The Stink!!

Evil Pete's picture

On my ride home last night I was in the rear of last car on a Richmond train around 8:45pm.

Since the train was some what full I ended up sitting in one of the "elderly" seats.

At 12th street a woman in a red business suit sat next to me (I made sure she has lots of room).

At 19th street station A elderly man got onto the train, the woman in a red business suit looked up and went back to her reading. I immediately stood up and surrendered my seat.

In less then a minute it hit me, the stench of several pounds of ripe human sh*t!!

I quickly moved to the center of the car, with in a minute every other person at that end of the car starts moving forward in the car.
Soon the forward section of the car is packed, standing room only, and the rear on the car has just 4 people ( the woman in a red business suit, a bicyclist that could not relocate, some gang-banger style dude, and the old man ).

At this time I note we are going above ground and I call Bart Police, I select the non-emergency option and the phone is answered quickly and a report is made long before we arrive at MacArthur.

While at MacArthur I note several people *running* out the doors and dashing forward to the next car (because the front of the car was so packed, people had to use the doors to escape to the next car).

no BPD show up

As we moved on to Ashby then Berkeley more and more people change cars.

When we arrived at North Berkeley I stepped off the train ( snapping a picture as I step off ) the woman in a red business suit also got off at North Berkeley ( after sitting next to the "old Fart" the entire trip )

BPD never showed, I am assuming the seat cover will have to be removed and burned.

Attached it a picture of the "Old Fart" next to "the woman in a red business suit"

He looks like one of the Deciples. Heavenly.....but Stinky? The lady next to him looks like she's disgusted. A poo-mint would have been good at that very moment. I can almost see the stench around his body. Like a cloud of stenchiness. There should also be little pamphlets on bart that show people like him how to get to the next public fountain to wash their ass. Maybe some clean-wipes in every car for a possible encounter with Poo-Man!

I should comment that this

I should comment that this is another reason I try to ride the Transbay bus when I can.

I always get seat ( most of the time I have the seat to myself ).

I have *never never* have to deal with a "Mr Poopie Pants" on the Transbay Bus.

I've don't have to deal with a Pan Handler like Randi Banks and the like.

The fare for both is $3.50

The 8:45am express bus (FS) gets me from North Berkeley to the Transbay Terminal in less then 31 minutes (vs Bart's 26 minutes).

But then there are more photo ops on Bart...

EWWWWWWWW! WTF? no really

EWWWWWWWW!

WTF? no really WTF? GROSS GROSS!

This is disgusting! No

This is disgusting! No wonder I see certain riders place a piece of newspaper or jacket before taking a seat. A co-worker told me that once she saw an actual pile of fresh turds on a seat...wonder how they cleaned that :(

They didn't..... Don't you

They didn't.....
Don't you get it. The seats are never cleaned. BART worries about passenger comfort more than their health. Give me a hard plastic seat that I can wipe down with colorox wipes prior to seating down, I would rather be uncomfortable then covered in someones piss, vomit, sperm, fecal matter, lice...... Shall I go on? Until then, I will continue to get strange looks fom people when I cover my seat with a plastic travel seat daily!

Where are the plastic travel

Where are the plastic travel seats sold? Is that REI... I might consider that. You only want you ass to be clean. They don't get it but I do... Thanks for the tip Jes.

In a thread in Nov I

In a thread in Nov I commented now I rode BART while wearing my kilt.

The moment I sat down I got back up and regretted not picking up a newspaper to sit on (while wondering how do woman in skirts stand it).

btw: Instead of Colorox wipes down you should instead consider using hairspray and a lighter.

So this morning I see a

So this morning I see a familiar face at the West Oakland station, and realize it's Mr. Stink! He's next to the booth, grinning, while a bart officer was standing next to him with blue gloves on and semi-contorted face...I guess he's at it again...

This is why I like posting

This is why I like posting photos, you get feedback when the perp is spotted again and recognized by others as a repeat offender.
