When peeping and peeing collide

Posted 02.15.2008 by daphne
There's a ladies' room at Hi-Tide Sales, Inc., in Fort Pierce, Florida, and it shares a wall with the adjacent men's room. This past December, a female employee of the establishment -- a place that sells boat lifts -- noticed a hole in that wall while using the toilet. Maybe it caught her eye as she sat across from it, daydreaming. She might have been thinking about lunch, or the movies, or the fact that she needed a couple of new pairs of Victoria Secrets panties because the elastic on the pair she had on now was shot. Maybe it was when she tore the last remaining rubber string off the inside of its waistband that the hole caught her eye, doing so because light was shining through it.

She might have pulled up her pants and walked towards the restroom door in an attempt not to appear suspicious, but I can't say for sure. What I do know is that instead of leaving, she turned the lights off and went back towards the hole in the wall; and it was at this point that she discovered it was framing an eyeball, as reported in the Palm Beach Post.

I can only imagine the shock she felt as she stood back up and exited the restroom. She must have been confused at first. Then, as the realization that someone had been watching her go to the bathroom sank in, she might have experienced more than one emotion: disbelief, embarrassment, surprise, anger, or even shame. She might have started to cry. I don't know; the article didn't specify. However, it did specify that a male co-worker noticed she was upset and asked her if she was alright. She had him wait outside the men's room with her to see who came out.

When Jake Christopher Velardo, another employee at the Hi-Tide Sales exited the restroom in front of both her and her co-worker friend, she notified her supervisor of what had happened. He questioned the twenty year-old suspected in the event, but Velardo denied any wrongdoing. He was fired the same day.

Velardo turned himself in last week due to a warrant issued for his arrest in December on the charges of voyeurism. He was released the same day on $15,000 bail.

Investigators found the hole Velardo used to spy on his co-worker to be covered by a guard rail one might find in a basic public handicrapper. In order to look through it, Velardo had to remove the rail, which was held in place by single screw. This fact certainly seems to negate any claims one might have that he acted out of passing curiosity. It also seems to negate any claims one might have that he has a passing understanding of the Plight of the Shameful Shitter.

Over the past six year, this site has been routinely reminded through stories, comments, and forum posts that the world is full of Shameful Shitters -- people who are not comfortable voiding their bowels in the presence of others or in strange bathrooms. We've heard from someone as recently as this week who can't even take a crap outside his own home. We've even read about the wonders of the Japanese toilet and how one of the features is often a button that, when pressed, plays the sounds of a flushing toilet to mask the noises made when you doody.

Someone who doesn't mind crapping public, might ask why this is, what the big deal is about being in their workplace restroom and feeling comfortable when making Yellow or Brown. When I hear of stories like this young woman's, I know one of the reasons why some Shameful Shitters don't experience that freedom; it's because there are people like Jake Velardo on the other side of the wall. They threaten our sense of security and cause us to question just how truly intact our privacy is while in a position of true vulnerability. He represents a real-life manifestation of a familiar mystery movie prop, the picture on the wall with the eyes cut out that the bad guy uses to spy on you, the unsuspecting dope who was invited to dinner. And to the poor, beleaguered Shameful Shitter, that is enough to make experiencing the joy of foreign-stall pooping an impossibility.

Maybe that female employee scrutinizes the walls as like never before when deciding to enter a public restroom stall and still feels as if she's being watched; maybe she never completely takes her eyes away from the mirror while washing her hands afterwards either. Maybe she doesn't even use the restroom at her workplace, and instead goes elsewhere. It's possible that she sees public restrooms in a more sinister light than before, never to again sit down and pee with the same nonchalance as she once did. If this is true, then it is indeed a shame, because enjoying an unhindered, unmolested potty break is a right we all deserve, a right no one should take from us through their own invasive illegal behavior.

Show some poop support, or make a poop retort.

On three occasions my daughter, who is 27, has been violated by using public restrooms. The first incident occurred when she was in 7th grade. I had just dropped her off at 6:45 a.m. a few minutes early for instrumental music practice. She was the only person in the single-stall bathroom where the door had been removed a few days before, and while she was crapping, two boys came bursting in on her--one made a disparaging sexual remark--and they both pointed and laughed at her before turning and running out. Her music teacher, a female who was a real advocate for her, took it to the administration but the principal bought the boys' stories that they were just "fooling around" after they had gotten mixed up and entered the wrong bathroom. And the incident was in April, eight months into the school year! Two years later while she was in high school and playing on a club softball team there were two after-school incidents where in the outdoor restrooms younger boys were standing on the toilets on the boys side of the building and looking over the simple drywall into the girls side of the bathroom. There had been several complaints about this to city hall and eventually the poorly designed and constructed building was demolished. Even before that was accomplished, either my husband or myself would drive her three blocks away to a convenience store to use the bathroom. Often, we would have two or three other passengers.

Damn...I was thinking...I've seen this story before, and not so long ago, like maybe a week...who the fuck dropped the ball here? Then it occurred to me, Daph asked me to proof read it last week...I am getting old an penile...er...senile. Nice Story, Baby!! (the proofreading was perfect!)

A nice long darning needle will usually take care of the eyeball on the other side of the hole. Won't be hard to find the perv perp later either.

Logjam (2442) -- 02.15.2008

Inspiring idea, PD. But the problem here is that you have to find the hole. As we know, if there is a common fear, then there is a product and profit to be made. How about a small device that emits blinding light flashes? The woman (and I'm sure there are many men who feel equally vulnerable being spied upon in restrooms), shuts her own eyes tightly while setting this light off. Name? The Peeper Poker? Flush Flash? ....

prarie doggin (2119) -- 02.15.2008

Either way, you would just have to find the person showing up to work the next day looking like Moishe Dayan. Personally, if someone wants to endure the stench just to spy on me, then all the more power to him. What I see and fear is that if one can spy, then one can also take a picture through the hole. I like your idea, and maybe we can market it along with my needle, some spare tp, disinfectant wipes, air freshener and gaskets into a sort of bathroom survival kit. What else should we include in the kit?

How about a Larry Craig foot hammer?

prarie doggin (2119) -- 02.15.2008

Oh yeah, and maybe a sewing kit for when we split our pants from spreading our legs too far apart.

Folks there is nothing more despicable than a peeping voyeur. Why anyone would prey on a ladies bathroom is beyond me. You know what though I think we should go with it. They want to watch okay LETS GET NUTS then. Pick the pooiest girl in the office and the night before have her LOAD UP on a diet of cabbage garlic baked beans some macaroni and cheese and some other stinky gassy food. The next day when she goes to take a blistering dump the nuclear fallout from the initial blast should keep this curmudgeon away for good. Im talking the kind of dump that makes you want to clear the area.

Great report Daphne!! Rock and roll legend Chuck Berry settled out of court with women who claimed Berry had covertly videotaped them pooping and peeing in the washroom of his Berry park. There is also an underground video purporting to be Chuck enjoying watersports with a willing female...Chuck is heard to mutter "I can't kiss you baby, you smell like piss".

With the technological advances in cellphone cameras and other electronic devices it gets harder and harder to maintain your privacy. Take a look at merry old England, in the interests of public safety most light standards are equipped with surveillance cameras that feed into some government bureaucracy tracing our "movements". The longer we remain apathetic to these measures the more prevalant they become.

It's not just the pervert who makes us feel like we have less privacy but also big brother. Most people aren't aware that if you bought a new vehicle in the last couple of years there is a data recorder in it. In the event you are involved in an accident the data can be subpeonaed (at least in Canada) by the insurer to deal with crash reconstruction regardless of whether you consent to have this data released.

Cellphones can be used to trace where you are at any given time based on your proximity to receiving/transmitting towers. While this is great in the event of you being abducted it won't be too long before some lawyer argues successfully that because it is common knowledge the technology exists then you have CONSENTED to allow this information to become public.

Spying/taping has become so common that an entire industry has cropped up to serve both the spier and the person wishing to be protected. This could all be solved more aptly if rather than a slap on the wrist and a fine the perpetrators got a heavy jail sentence and learned what life is like without privacy.

As far as the other types of "data collection", make it mandatory that data can only be released when the issue involves a crime of violence.

Thunderous. "Pooiest girl" in the office. That sounds hot.

daphne (3609) -- 02.15.2008

I'm glad someone proofed and wrapped up the finish for me - Bunga, dave - because I've been sicker than hell the past 2 days. I wouldn't have even come upstairs to get online, but I remembered the car insurance is do today, and I had to pay it.

Thank goodness someone is on the ball this week, because it's sure not me. Blah. Back to bed.

Sorry to hear, daphne. Get well soon (saw that on a card once.)

daphne (3609) -- 02.15.2008

Thank you Mr. Jam! I've decided to bring the laptop down to the Den of Kleenex and check out what I've missed.

i love poop.

I think a can of that "Liquid Ass" stuff with one of those extension tubules like a can of WD-40 would be great. Put that baby into the hole and shoot in a spray or two. The perv would then smell like the shit he/she is!

prarie doggin (2119) -- 02.17.2008

Add a lit match to any aerosol product, and Viola! Look for the guy with the head resembling a charcoal briquette.

Gaseous Glay (110) -- 02.18.2008

Good one Daph. There are far too many toilet pervs in the world drilling their little holes to watch us poop and pee. We could blast them with burrito gas most foul but they'd only like it and come back for more. Which proves yet again that what one man's disgust and gorge rising revulsion is just another man's cheap thrill.

Poonanza (63) -- 03.22.2008

Holy crap Daphne and Wonderpance, where do you guys live? I'm down in Texas and lots of people in my squadron got sick as well, and all over base. I heard it's swiffering the nation, but how can a virus do that without hysteria to accompany it? I caught gastroenteritis on Feb 4, started coughing two weeks later and haven't been able to stop yet. Never had that before, water was coming out of both ends for a week and a half. Wow. Lost 10 pounds. My poo hasn't recovered since.

And as for the story, damn that Porky's!!

daphne (3609) -- 03.22.2008

Poonanza, from what I've heard talking to all the people up here (Washington state - hubby's stationed in Ft. Lewis), it's attacked every person for miles and miles. I think it was a version of the flu, "this year's flu", and it was just tolerable enough to fly under the radar.

Congratulations to prarie doggin for passing the 1000 comment mark! I'm new here but I've noticed doggin's comments are spot-on the undie crotch and whoopee cushion fun. Some day maybe I will play with the big dogs too.
As for this report, it is embarrassing, as a man, to know what perverse and criminal behavior some pee pees make their owners do.
I think shame, repression and bad toilet training scrunch some people down to low levels such as described here. From dumb-ass toilet drawings and "bad" words to all manner of violations against women, the anger, scars and distrust they produce pisses me off. And, sadly, there is no more that can be done about it than picking up litter can clean the world. The only thing you can do is raise sane kids. Or not have any. And if you are one of them, fess up and see a shrink

Some of us do think with the wrong head.

Poonanza (63) -- 03.23.2008

Oh kickin' wing. My mom was a Captain at Ft Lewis, and I was born at Madigan. She said all the other officers had bets going to see when I would be born, and this one Colonel got it spot on at 2104.

One of my coworkers said that a panel of doctors gets together and decides which version of the flu is likely to strike that year, and they chose the wrong one this time. So the vaccine was worthless.
