Special delivery: Mailman defecates in yard

A U.S. Postal Service worker dropped off an unexpected package at a Portland home, according to KATU TV.

Do not look in the bushes.

Do not look in the bushes.

Oregonian Don Derfler was waiting for a babysitter to arrive when he saw his mailman pull down his pants and drop a nasty in his neighbor’s bushes.

Derfler took pictures of the mailman, who was not named, and even photographed what the carrier left behind.

“To come on to our property and to defecate – it’s just wrong,” said Derfler.

KATU points out there is a public park with porta potties and a store with a public bathroom within two blocks of the bush the mailman used as a toilet.

The mailman was placed on unpaid leave and is embarrassed, according to co-workers.

The TV station took Derfler’s pictures to USPS authorities.

I don’t have an explanation for this individual,” said Ron Anderson, with the U.S. Postal Service.

Though postal workers are unionized, I suspect the mailman will still get fired. Maybe he can get a gig with UPS in Atlanta; he’s got the “Brown Delivers” thing down pat.

I feel bad for this poor guy. I’m sure he really had to go. I think the guy with the camera is a jerk. If this had been an everyday occurrence, this yes, shame on the postman….but give him a break!

@ wastedump…Why are you worried about his pension? Quit being a hater….Noone was worried about your salary when you were making $30-40 an hour at your factory job..Now since your well has dried up, you want to come after other people’s jobs..GET A LIFE!!

Prediction: Said postal worker will report to work tomorrow with a note from his doctor about a colon-impairment (real or imagined, we’ll never know) and he’ll start getting disability payments for it, and a handicap tag for his USPS vehicle that allows him to ‘park’ anywhere.

Just plain nasty. Guess he just pulled up his pants and didn’t wipe either. I pity the person that washes his clothes.

I POOP IN YOUR MOUTH, NOT IN YOUR HAND! I am a mail man too, and I do this ALL the time. I laugh when I do it, its really fun if you can get it in the bird bath. The best though is when you lay out a nice fresh steaming fudge dragon on the welcome mat, or if you have diahrea you can spray paint their lawn gnomes with dookie sauce. I CAN NOT BE STOPPED!
