PORTLAND, Ore. - A mail carrier who was caught using a yard as his personal toilet will not be fired.

The incident happened last month at a home in southeast Portland and a neighbor, Don Derfler, captured the man in the act with his camera.

Derfler had been waiting for his babysitter when he saw his mailman acting odd at his neighbor's house across the street. The postal worker then pulled down his pants and that's when Derfler began snapping pictures.

"We trust people like the postal service and meter readers and people of that nature," Derfler told us when we interviewed him in April. "To come on to our property and to defecate - it's just wrong."

The incident was an embarrassment to the post office and the worker was immediately placed on unpaid leave. Now, a decision has been made to keep the worker but he will be transferred to a different route.

A spokesperson said the administrative action was taken based on a postal service investigation but he did not elaborate. He also did not say which route the mail carrier has been assigned to cover.

Silly person, God answers prayer. Plus, no one is ridiculing you for having arthritis. On the other hand there are folks on this and other threads telling us that natural bowel movements are simply never aggressive enough to worry about.

I'd suggest they don't know the magnificence of Creation.

Oh, so it is okay to pray to your god for maladies to strike someone who made fun of you?

Definitely your god is not my God.

Are you by chance a muzzie?

I have IBD, but I would crap in my pants like a baby before Id crap in someone’s yard. Civilized people dont put their problems onto others. You just bite the bullet and suffer.

Anyone who craps in my yard is going to have a lot more serious problem than the need to take a dump!

those post office guys have a union like the Mafia. They are bullet proof. A mail carrier could sodommize your grandma on top of the roof and nothing will happen. It must be nice to have that kind of protection from consaquences.

[Eaker]

muawiyah and several others made up the “medical problem” out of whole cloth as it was never reported in the article.

It is much more likely that this is a lazy postal worker who had too many 40’s and burritos and too little class to find a bathroom.

Occam’s razor.

I have arthritis but I don’t sit around praying that others get it too just so they know how it feels.

I pray for the complete extermination of the entire human race.

What's Grandma doing on top of the roof???!?

Old biddy is askin' for it, if she's up there.

Do you imagine that an individual carrying out the dictates of the US Constitution (see: post offices and post roads clause) should be subjected to abuse over a bowel movement? The Conservative GOD created bowel movements.

Okay, with that one, you qualify for:

Do you imagine that an individual carrying out the dictates of the US Constitution (see: post offices and post roads clause) should be subjected to abuse over a bowel movement?

Why yes, they should. If Speaker of the House (also an individual carrying out the dictates of the US Constitution) dropped trou on CSPAN, hoisted his cheeks to the podium, and dropped a wet, brown, stinky, noisy shit-log right in front of everyone, that would be something subject to abuse. It is an abusive act, emanating from the hypothetical Speaker, and deserves ridicule and removal from office in response.

The fact I even have to explain this to you, tells me you have long ago left your sanity at a Walmart.

[muawiyah]

Definitely one of the more constipated responses I've seen in a while.

Frankly, I stand back from those. You are on your own.

[muawiyah]

Nobody is making up a medical problem. What you are trying to do is create “evidence” out of a nonreport. The federales are prohibited from HIPPA from distributing information regarding anyone’s medical status.

[muawiyah]

You obviously know NOTHING of the story. Sure, he went to someone's yard and went in the back and sat on a trashcan to defecate.

Time for you to read the stories ~ if you want to comment on them.

[muawiyah]

Now, regarding crapping your pants and then traipsing through the neighborhood delivering mail ~ going up on the porch to put the mail into letter slots or boxes next to front doors ~ sure sounds cool.

You know that stuff's going to fall out and you will leave a stinky trail.

I think you didn't think this through at all.

Definitely one of the more constipated responses I’ve seen in a while.

I think Laz has gone off the deep end. His account has been suspended/banned BTW

[muawiyah]

That’s a good one.

[Eaker]

You are slow boy.

It was never reported that the fella had a problem and this means there is NO evidence.

You made it up to give him an excuse for crapping in someone’s yard.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda is BS. There was no report in the news today that you are from Uranus so according to your logic you must be from Uranus.

You certainly are acting like one.

[muawiyah]

He just won reinstatement. You lose.

[Eaker]

No, decent, honest and clean people lose.

I’ll tell ya this Cliff Clavin, you defend this SEIU Union POS all you want and it doesn’t make crapping in someone’s yard okay. It is still a disgusting, filthy and nasty thing to do. Being a drunk postal boy doesn’t change a thing.

Before you ask, the same report that stated that he had a butt disease that made him crap in his pants also stated that he was drunk. You have cited the report numerous time so don’t ask me for a copy.

Next time this POS tries this he might catch a bullet for his troubles and I would drink a toast to the shooter.

[muawiyah]

SEIU? The APWU is now the SEIU?

If you knew anything about the case you'd know he crapped in a trash can, not "in the yard". I bet you even thought he crapped in the lawn of the guy with the camera.

No, that guy's just the neighborhood picture perv. He had no right to enter the neighbors lawn to take a picture of anything BTW.

[muawiyah]

That's sure news that he was "drunk"?

I don't think I've read that before. You'll need to provide us a URL. And shooting a guy for taking a crap? You sound just like those Korean guards the Japanese used in WWII to march our guys out of Corrigidor. They'd shoot anybody who stopped to crap for longer than a few seconds.

That was considered a war crime then; it's still a crime. We don't shoot people for crapping.

[Eaker]

Before you ask, the same report that stated that he had a butt disease that made him crap in his pants also stated that he was drunk. You have cited the report numerous times so don’t ask me for a copy.

Did I type this too fast for you to read or are you drunk too?

The APWU is now the SEIU?

Same difference. Union is union.

[muawiyah]

I think you are too disoriented to discuss anything.
