Isn't that crappy?
 
2012-02-22 03:20:58 AM
What a shiatty situation.
 
2012-02-22 03:26:32 AM
I've had to use the toilet on an Indian train, so I'm getting a kick out of this story.
 
2012-02-22 03:30:28 AM
It's the curry. Enough of that will melt anything.
 
2012-02-22 03:53:25 AM
So when one of those trains breaks down, does it leave skid marks?

/And is the headline referring to dot or feather Indians?

I remember this. The ol' belly swollen with the jackfruit thing, eh?

The acidic content of what gets flushed, it turns out, steadily corrodes the tracks, making them unstable and unreliable.

So stop eating and shiatting batteries, you fools!

Thank you very much and come again.
 
2012-02-22 07:43:58 AM
Wait... so leaving piss and shiat all over the place isn't a good idea? Huh.
 
2012-02-22 07:44:47 AM
That's why there's a sign in the train bathroom that says not to use it while the train is in the station.

And they do most of our tech support......

Once when I was a kid the top of our neighbors old steel can style septic tank rusted through and collapsed. I had to stay inside for a few days because of the stench. From what I've read that's basically what all of India smells like. Definitely not on my top ten list of places I want to visit.

Damn you...I was just about to post that.

The article fails in comparison to this picture.

It hasn't been all that long that trains in the U.S. emptied on the tracks as well.

I think Bob Dylan named an album after this.

Just fyi, urine breaks down into ammonia, which is a cleaning agent. This is why you see piss boys in movies depicting the French Renaissance, etc. Most notable piss boy role goes to Mel Brooks from 'History of the World (part 1)'

I guess it's better to rust the tracks on the G train than to wind up with rusty tracks in your G-string.
 
2012-02-22 07:58:22 AM
You should see what happens when an Indian family builds a 2 story house.
 
2012-02-22 07:59:32 AM
The toilets do not flush, they are literally a hole through the bottom of the car. Nothing like using a squat toilet with the train tracks whizzing by at 50 miles an hour less then three feet under your butt.

I'm sure I've seen piles of shiatty toilet paper on UK train tracks in the last couple of years, but the trains do seem to have modernised recently. Hell, we even have aircon on some of the ones I ride into London each week..... no a/c or toilets on the tubes though.

Yes, but once you have a billion people ride your rail system per day, it's generally considered a good idea not to drag stripes of effluent all over your entire goddamn country and its most expensive infrastructure.

That whole country has to be coated in sewage by now. No wonder they use too much onion, garlic and curry in their food. It covers up the taste and smell of airborne sewage.

dervish16108: That's why there's a sign in the train bathroom that says not to use it while the train is in the station.

Yeah, no one follows that, even in eastern Europe. At a train station in Prague there were turds all over the tracks in the station.
 
2012-02-22 08:05:59 AM
The free market will take care of it. Who needs infrastructure inspections, environmental regulations, and public safety laws? India is a Randian dream state.
 
2012-02-22 08:06:44 AM
Don't people drop trou and take a shiat right on the sidewalk in India?
 
2012-02-22 08:08:35 AM
Meh. They do the same thing on the Island of Sodor.

Been there done that. Worst fking thing ever.

The cool part though is you can look at the tracks below you and there is nice cool stream of air caressing your under parts.

Isn't that what was partly responsible for taking down that bridge in Minneapolis a few years ago? Pigeons making nests in the framework and slowly corroding away the metal with years and years worth of caked-on bird shiat?

We've got two articles for the Poop Trifecta. Can we get a third?

I'm going on the rails on a crazy train.

Wow. That suddenly makes sense.

What is it with India and poop?

There's some weird cultural thing going on there. I think that they LIKE having poop everywhere. There's no other explanation really.

Filthy, filthy country.

Not to mention that it carried more traffic than it was designed to carry every day for 50 years.

They could just brew up a nice spicy curried jenkem with all that waste.

sinanju: "We encourage constipation when the train is in the station"

No one in India has ever had a solid bowel movement, let alone constipation.

I thought the PK term would be Native Americans, not Indians.

"The committee found that every year around people 15,000 die on the railways and described those fatalities as a "massacre" that was being ignored by railway authorities."

I wonder if a Indian would go to the doctor if they took a solid shiat.
 
2012-02-22 08:32:05 AM
you mean they dont have a sewage system on their trains? not surprising considering even today, new houses in india are not typically built with a toilet. One thing India doesnt want the rest of the world to know is that almost the entire country regularly poops outside. dont you people watch Vanguard?
 
2012-02-22 08:32:19 AM
Here's an entire documentary about them not having enough places to poop.

I give you... "The World's Toilet Crises" Link (new window)

/Actually very interesting

Also, this...

Jessica's Dad: Oh, my God. He shiat everywhere. There's shiat everywhere! Damnit! There's shiat on the windows! Oh, my God! My house is full of shiat! He shiat everywhere! Look what he did! He shiat all over the walls! There's shiat everywhere!

Showing my age again but there used to be a ditty:

Pasengers will please refrain
From flushing toilets while the train
Is in the station
Darlin' I love you
