My Upsetting Walk to Work

This morning, I walked my usual route from the train station to the skyway, and into the parking garage that connects my work lot with the rest of downtown. As I head into the three story tall stairwell leading out of the building and toward my work, I am instantly hit with the putrid smell of feces. It smelled like someone walked through there only seconds earlier, farting the whole way. Naturally, I press on, hoping to lose the cloud. Much to my surprise, the smell gets worse with every descending step. By the last flight of stairs, it was nearly overpowering, but I was not about to turn around and climb the two and half flights back up. As I round the last turn, I spot the source.... The bottom stair is caked with a thin layer of shit, as if someone had taken a massive dump, and then someone did a very poor job of cleaning it up. To make the whole situation funny, there is a trail of footprints leading out of the stairwell and out the door, shit foot prints. To top it all off, there is a security camera pointing directly at that area.

Being a 24 year old boy, once the smell cleared my nostrils, I found this hilarious. I hope you can too.

Yes, although it was completely contained to one stair only.
