PORTLAND - Some neighbors in Southeast Portland are upset that a postal carrier caught relieving himself in a backyard was returning to his old route.

A man in the 7000 block of Southeast Ogden snapped photos of his mail carrier defecating in his neighbor's yard last April.

A spokesperson for the post office said the carrier was disciplined and temporarily taken off his route, but he has since been allowed back.

"We want to see him replaced at the very least. We don't want him on our route. We don't trust him," neighbor Rick Yeoman said.

A USPS spokesperson said something like this will not happen again with that mail carrier in the neighborhood.

"Absolutely not. We're pretty confident that everyone has the message," USPS spokesperson Kerry Jeffrey said.

Neighbors said they've contacted lawyers to see what their options are.

Everyone does it and some people are full of it, like some of the neighbors. Some people are lucky enough to have toilets where they work. Life is good for them. Some people have the unfortunate lot in life to get explosive diarrea when they are nowhere near a toilet. They are having a bad day. I'm just happy he didn't squat in the middle of the street.

Where was he suppose to go use the bathroom. Many of us take this for granted, but many of these delivery people go on routes that take them out in the middle of nowhere. If you have an emergency, you're in trouble.

People are just plain heartless. I have issued keys to my UPS delivery man so he can use the bathroom in our laundry room if he needs to. People do not understand the schedule and routes usually take them far away from any facilities. I am not saying that mail carriers should go crazy relieving themselves everywhere but peoples reactions have been extreme. You want him to lose his job? what next jail time? I know lets put him in the stockade and throw stones at him. It is becoming more and more obvious that the American Taliban is alive and well and this attitude is spreading.

Neighbors contacted lawyers?? Oh get over it. Pick up the shat and move on, the same way if a neighbor's dog took a dump in your yard, would you run and call a lawyer?? The guy probably was about to shat his pants, and did it in an emergency need. My sister has been like that.. we drive and she is like "Pull over NOW!!!" She cannot stop it!! And she is not old!

No options....he's part of a public employee union, thus he can do just about anything and not get fired.
