TERRITORIANS are crapping themselves wondering if the notorious Poo-gitive has returned, after a man was caught leaving a steaming pile of shit on a driveway.
CCTV uploaded in the Darwin – Have a Whinge Facebook group on Thursday, July 21 shows a tall man in a fishing shirt pulling up his shorts after taking a quick driveway dump.
Facebook user Gtthreefifty H Darwin posted the video with the caption: “This excuse for a human in Rapid Creek. Pity he doesn’t know how to use a toilet”.
The 45-year-old told NT News he became aware of the poopetrator when his door bell camera alerted him to movement outside his home.
He said due to the time of night, he was scared s**less at the thought of confronting the man and instead could do nothing as the smelly incident unfolded.
“It is just disappointing as there are public toilets on the foreshore,” he said.
The homeowner said he was unsure if the poop was premeditated but said if he was to return he would “leave a dog poo bag for him”.
Have a Whinge group members were quick to comment their disgust about the indecent act.
Cher Cher said the culprit was clearly not trying to be discreet and it was “inappropriate to do it on the driveway and footpath”.
Gina Azar described the pooper as a “dirty dog” for not wiping his backside.
The emergence of the CCTV footage has left Territorians wondering if this could be the return of the dreaded ‘poo-gitive’ who went on a week long pooing rampage outside a Gillen home in 2020 before disappearing without a trace.
The Undertown St homeowner Kirsten said one morning she woke to discover “it (poop) was kind of smeared in blobs, almost like he got between the tiles and mashed it in. So there’s one main s**t, and then just little squishy blobs. I think he’s purposefully squashed it in, just to really piss me off.”
Kirsten installed a camera on the back of her vehicle after discovering human faeces deposited in her front yard multiple nights in a row which led to the footage of the “rogue pooer”.
The homeowner said that while she found the man’s behaviour amusingly bizarre at first, and even joked about it with friends, she was well and truly over it now.
“At the start I even videoed myself and sent it to all my friends and laughed about how the s**tter needs to change his diet.
But also it’s a f***ing horrible thing to do. I’ve been hosing down human s**t for the past nine days.”
The culprit was never caught.
