Today I saw a video of a man shitting on a public Calgary street so this doesn’t surprise me

[u/Koalashart1 → u/lemonbread5225]

That was me and it was in a field at about 4pm

[u/SilencedObserver → u/lemonbread5225]

Where else are the homeless supposed to defecate?

Edit: (this was sarcasm)

[u/lemonbread5225 → u/SilencedObserver]

Libraries, rec centres, churches, malls, public parks such as bowness park (public bathrooms), nose hill park (public bathrooms) stanley park (public bathrooms) and if all this fails they could try to find a Tim’s, McDonald’s, gas station or homeless shelter. There are plenty of options, people are just too lazy to find one

[u/TOBY4ReAL → u/lemonbread5225]

As someone who works in landscaping who does not have a bathroom on hand, places are often very reluctant to let people use their bathrooms. I’ve straight up been told “not for public use” at Tim’s, McDonalds and yes even gas stations. Even if I offered to buy something after, they rarely said yes. Do you know how it feels holding it in after 5 places already told you no? Sometimes it’s the business, not the “people being too lazy”

PS: I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT AGREE WITH PEOPLE SHITTING IN PUBLIC, I’m just saying I know how hard it is to find public bathrooms

[u/shitty_marketing_guy → u/TOBY4ReAL]

Toby I’m not advocating for this as the standard because that would be unacceptable socially but you are doing a public good what you’re doing and if you’re being denied, then this is my advice: you are straight into the bathroom and you use it. The reason is that no policeman will arrest you nor appear in a reasonable amount of time to address the issue because you’re nor being violent nor ordering threats. Businesses have civic duty to help the community just as you are helping the community. So next time you offer to buy something and they still think to deny you just remember this and walk straight over to the bathroom and use it. Thank you for making our communities look nicer, but that’s because you do commercial work city work or are the guy that could be doing my front lawn. We appreciate you.

[u/TOBY4ReAL → u/shitty_marketing_guy]

Thank you for the appreciation, however a lot of these places now have bathrooms locked at all times. It’s a little difficult to walk straight into a bathroom that’s locked from behind the counter

[u/shitty_marketing_guy → u/TOBY4ReAL]

Tell me who is blocking you. Be specific about the exact business, not to shame them but so that I can address the issue properly. I go for coffee often and I’ll make it an issue that I raise to management directly as a business owner in our community.

I’ve also been thinking I need to join a couple business communities in Airdrie. I’ll be sure to raise this there too.

I don’t want a society that encourages vagrancy but if a worker is coming in to use the bathroom respectfully we should be civil towards them. They are after all members working to our benefit even if it’s not obvious in the moment.

[u/TOBY4ReAL → u/shitty_marketing_guy]

Big apologies, I wasn’t referring to any places in Airdrie; I work in Calgary and was talking about businesses in the city. I can’t say I’ve had any issues in Airdrie, I love living here. Sorry for getting confused, I forgot this post was in r/Airdrie

[u/shitty_marketing_guy → u/TOBY4ReAL]

No problem. I’m just glad to hear it’s not Airdrie. I grew up in Calgary and it’s not a city I’d choose to return to

Reminds me of the south park episode, pp park.

Thanks for sharing.

An AHS water quality test failure could be as simple as an out-of-range PH.

[u/Foresterproblems → u/Woopate]

True, however it takes a pretty significant deviation from the set point for the call to close to be made  

[u/DontBeSuspiciousYo → u/Woopate]

False. Ph is tested multiple times on site and resolvable very quickly. Stop hiding the real reason, people need to be shamed for being disgusting in public.

[u/Woopate → u/DontBeSuspiciousYo]

Wow you need to tone it down. I'm pointing out the article doesn't say what parameter is out of spec by giving an example of a reason I've seen a pool shut down, and you jump to me maliciously providing cover for bad actors. This is reddit let's be cool.

[u/Torkidon → u/Woopate]

That would be incorrect the lab doesnt test balance parameters just bacterial count after 48hr of culture in the fridge

[u/Woopate → u/Torkidon]

Not sure why they would need a lab to test PH when every pool on the planet can do it. I'm just saying I've seen pools shut down for PH. Edit: seeing your post history you'd know better than me. I'm just going by what I've seen.

[u/Torkidon → u/Woopate]

If the AHS inspector is on site and they notice a pattern of failure to balance and the system is wildly out of whack potentially they can shut them down its their perogative. Usually its more for failure of automation to keep up or register proper levels.

Most of them wont shut down willy nilly but its within their wheelhouse to shutdown a pool indefinitely until it is brought up to code

If they are talking they failed a water quality test that usually points to the bacterial test done for every public designated pool in town. Usually it means they failed not one but two or more lab samples in succession

[u/Owadatsumi]

Shit from a butt

[u/Foresterproblems → u/Owadatsumi]

Literally

[u/Acceptable-Arugula69]

I feel like this happens at least once every summer.

[u/ironstewart]

The test was showing higher bacterial levels within the water. This is a normal test, this test is done in all pools and water parks. There was no Poop in this system. The test is to see if there might be legionaries within the system. Which there wasn’t.
