An unnamed man was recently caught frequenting a ladies restroom in a Jiangmen City shopping plaza in the Guangdong province of China, with the intention of snacking on women’s poops. According to a security guard who works at the plaza, the man has been spotting engaging in this behavior since some time early this year, saying that he prefers the second-floor ladies room and makes his appearances between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. and then again around 3 p.m.
It’s unclear why the security guard was not, oh, stopping the perpetrator, especially considering that his modus operandi is to bust in on women before they’re able to flush the toilet, which seems like borderline assault. A reporter from GDTV (and again, not Chinese authorities) caught the turd burglar in action, as translated by Shanghaiist:
Reporter: What’re you doing here?
Man: Eating sh*t.
R: What? What’s in your hands?
M: It’s sh*t.
R: Why would you want to do that?
M: I eat it when I’m hungry.
R: But why do you choose to go to the ladies’ room?
M: It’s more tasty.Reporter: Isn’t your family worried about you?
Man: They’re all dead.
R: Don’t you know this behavior isn’t good or healthy?
M: I’ve eaten sh*t for eight years. I feel better after eating it.
Sure brings a whole new meaning to the slogan “what can brown do for you.” GDTV also interviewed a doctor at a Jiangmen hospital who claims that it’s “very possible” that the man has a history of mental illness, because obviously the opinion of a licensed medical professional was required to come to that conclusion. The bathroom has since been closed off so it’s unknown if the man has gone on to seek out his fix elsewhere.
