WHAT ARE SOME PEOPLE THINKING?????

Oh my God! In the eight years I have been living in the projects, I have never experienced something this upsetting and nerve racking. Last night, after an enjoyable and productive speech class, I entered my apartment complex. I was grateful to be home and grateful that one of my classes was over with a good outcome. So, I checked my mail and proceeded up the stairs to the building elevator. Again I say...Oh my God! I was livid. Somebody took a dump in our elevator. EWWWWWWW! I closed the elevator door and took the stairs. I went into my apartment and called housing right away. This mess had to be cleaned up immediately.
So this morning, not to any kind of surprise, I met up with the lady who cleans our building. She was dressed in an all white protective suit including a facial mask and rubber gloves. She was standing outside the open elevator mortified with the thought that she was responsible for cleaning up this disgusting mess. What the *&@! ?

After a short discussion with her, I had to leave for work. However, all the way to my office I could not help but think...WHAT ARE SOME PEOPLE THINKING?! What is wrong with you? Ok, you are homeless, ok, you have nowhere else to go, but why an elevator with a camera? If you lived in that building would you want someone to do that in your elevator? Look, I have been homeless and I understand how it is when mother nature calls, but let's be absolutely real here...do you have any morals? Do you have any ethical responsibility? Do you have a conscience?
Ok, so let's step back and take a look at the bigger picture. In my opinion, the likelihood of this happening in a co-op or condo would be absolutely nill. But just because I live in the projects should I accept this "crap?" ABSOLUTELY NOT! This has to be stopped and the person who did it MUST pay, not only for the fact that he or she messed up the elevator, forced people who live on the upper floors to take the stairs, but also forced someone to have to clean that s*^@ up.
I think if housing really followed the rules put forth in the lease given to all the tenants, those tenants who sell drugs in the building would no longer be living there. More than likely, the tendency that this dispicable act occured because the person responsible is drug addicted and homeless is very high. But why were you in my building? I would have to think that the person responsible was in my building buying drugs. This is not necessarily true, but the probability of these degenerates visiting the drug dealers apartment as opposed to any other apartment in the building is much higher. So, what do we do now?
Well, my next move is to write a letter of complaint to my housing management office. Then I plan on copying the letter and adding another letter to not only the NYCHA Headquarters, but copying the Mayor's Action Center. Not only do these people have to be removed from my building and the entire complex, but the degenerate who performed this act of pure and utter disgust needs to be fined and punished in some manner.
Again I say...OH MY GOD, WHAT ARE SOME PEOPLE THINKING?!

Here is a link for my housing projects...I guess the history and good side of Queensbridge.

Here is a link for some elevator ettiquette...not mentioning anything about elevator defecation of course...Why not?...probably because most thinking human beings don't defecate in public elevators.
