An Italian railway worker is facing criminal charges for causing major delays because of his frequent attacks of diarrhea. [1] The 40-year-old man in Northern Italy allegedly delayed the departure of two trains during the last month alone. The man risks a $5,000 fine and up to a year's imprisonment for having interrupted a public service. On one occasion a train had to wait 33 minutes for the man to come back from the restroom and give the departure signal. The train company decided to bring legal action after complaints by passengers and train drivers. The man is the only employee at the station. Every train that stops there must wait for his whistle before departing again. Has that guy never heard about Imodium?
