I think farts are almost always funny, and stories about mystery poopers interest me.

There, I said it.

We recently covered the story about that school official in New Jersey who kept on taking dumps on a school field, which brought back memories of the infamous Clifton Pooper, but just when you think you’re growing up and moving on another incident hits the news.

Trevor Noah tweeted about this yesterday, which caught our attention, and now it’s hit the news in a big way.

Before we go any further, here’s what all the fuss is about, with this video coming out of Canada on VICE:

I’ll be honest, at first I thought it was just another one of those Constantia-style ‘Let me talk to the manager’ videos, but then things really escalate.

Canada was pretty wrapped up in this over the last few days, and now the truth can finally come out:

Turns out that the Timmies employees wouldn’t let her use the bathroom and she really, really had to go (which probably explains why she was able to poop so quickly). Tim Hortons’ restroom policy is that anyone can use it—you don’t have to be a customer—but that, in some franchises, employees have to give you a key or buzz you into the bathroom at their discretion.

On Thursday, Tim Hortons responded to the video which has been seen and lampooned widely in Canada and beyond. In a statement, the fast-food chain said that they didn’t let the woman use the bathroom because of “past behavior and out of concern for the immediate safety of team members and guests in the restaurant.”

“We are deeply concerned by this video as the safety of our team members and guests is always a top priority for us,” reads the statement. “In limited cases across the country, restaurants have a restricted access policy for restrooms to ensure the well-being of guests.”

I reckon they might want to give the staff member who had turd flung at them a little extra moola for emotional damage.

The case is now being reviewed by the British Columbia Prosecution Service to see whether or not she will be charged.

We’ve all wanted to fling our poo before, but it’s not a good look.
