OT Multiple casualties in downtown Portland incident

[tlongII]

Why the hell would you put casualties in the title when no one died...?

I just copied the title from OregonLive. I think casualties includes injuries though.

They were casually walking down the sidewalk when hit.

If they'd been leaving the opera when they were hit they would have been formalities.

If they were working, they'd be business casualties.

I did this wednesday night... And yes, it was freaking crazy.

To anyone. Been to Japan? My friend has, his wife is Japanese. Said people are like a swarm and nobody looks out for anyone. Just walk in front of you, through you. Don't hold doors for anyone. I'd probably lose my mind.

I'm sure they would clear out of the way for the albino sumo wrestler.

Friend said they wouldn't because they don't even look up. I could hurt people.

Describe the public restrooms please. I don't want to say what he told me they are like. Wanna hear it from you.

what kind of plebian uses Public restrooms?!

 

[MARIS61]

Again, your rant about people and their phones has nothing to do with this. The old man went up on the sidewalk and drove down it while striking people with his car. These were not people not paying attention while crossing the street.

His point is valid.

It is nearly impossible to strike a person with a vehicle if the person sees you approaching.

The public restrooms I used were clean and outfitted with Toto toilets. They spray your ass to clean you. I liked them so I’ve outfitted my house with the same.

Think they were in an old part where her family lives. He described a line of toilet/slots or troughs in the floor that people lined up to squat over. He seemed serious.

That could be out in the country. I’ve only been in Tokyo.

 

[barfo]

You can definitely find squat toilets in Tokyo. Personally I'm fond of the street-urinals - basically just a 3 or 4 foot wall you can step behind to pee in public.

Wonder why they are called shithole countries?

 

[riverman]

Why, when I was a boy we'd just unzip and pee wherever we were

2 points...when you were a boy there was no plumbing and nobody had invented zippers yet
