Woman Overheard Yelling Obscenities at Toilet Could Face Jail Time

SCRANTON, Pa. — A woman who allegedly shouted profanities at her overflowing toilet within earshot of a neighbor was cited for disorderly conduct, authorities said.

Dawn Herb could face up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $300 (euro212).

"It doesn't make any sense. I was in my house. It's not like I was outside or drunk," Herb told The Times-Tribune of Scranton. "The toilet was overflowing and leaking down into the kitchen and I was yelling (for my daughter) to get the mop."

Herb does not recall exactly what she said, but she admitted letting more than a few bad words fly near an open bathroom window Thursday night.

Her next-door neighbor, a city police officer who was off-duty at the time, asked her to keep it down, police said. When she continued, the officer called police.

Mary Catherine Roper, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union in Philadelphia, took issue with the citation.

"You can't prosecute somebody for swearing at a cop or a toilet," she said.

Nope, when your neighbor says keep it down, you keep it down.

Lady's fault...next discussion.

I'm gonna move next to you and tell you to keep it down no matter what until you're tip-toeing and using sign language anytime you're at your home. You wanna mow that lawn..... think again buddy!

It's just ridiculous. Does the lady run around outside and scream obscenities? ok, maybe an issue. But c'mon.... I think toilet issues are always a good reason to start cursing up a storm. If I saw a poop float out and land on my feet I'd be droppin f-bombs all day.

That's hilarious because the EXACT thing happened to a kid I knew. He was in a public stall, flushed, and a foreign log (not his own) floated up, rolled over the edge, and landed across his sneaker. Once he took it off, he had poop in the breather holes in the top of the sneaker.

Besides cops rarely take complaints from "that crazy dude" in the neighborhood....

[4bronxbombers]

How effin' ridiculous. Don't they cops have better things to do? Sheesh

@$#$^^%$ her.

[yankeeschic12324]

@$#$^^%$ her.

I think amico has gone off the edge...

[mjdlight]

Err, if this was enforced in NYC, 99 percent of the city would be cited for disorderly conduct.

[yankeeschic12324]

Is it weird to anyone else that her neighbor is that close (an 'earshot' as they say)? Totally understandable if she's in an apartment building/condo type thing....

[gdn]

So if she called him a pig....?

[WashingtonYankee]

Wow... Just wow...

[jlw1980]

Seriously...this has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Stupid as hell.

[JOBA RULES]

Hahaha oh god...people these days are unreal...nice thread name by the way

Next thing you know, a woman gets her purse stolen on the street...she screams for help & a cop cuffs her for disorderly conduct.
