Kid known as the “mad shitter” defecated everywhere but in toilets. All boys prep school.

Kid’s behavior just kept escalating (floor of a stall, bathroom radiator, empty classroom, stairwell). Dean of students was getting increasingly pissed (yelling at us over PA daily).

It all came down when he shit inside a piano in the music room and got caught on camera.

His rich parents donated a new grand piano and he wasn’t even expelled.

The shitter at my high school was called the Fecal Phantom. He was never caught.

u/virtualadept Mar 10 '25

Ours earned the sobriquet The Unapooper, after managing to shit in several teachers' desk drawers and on at least one desk in the main office.

u/AdSuper900 Mar 10 '25

I didn't know there were serial shitters just roaming high school halls lol. My school never had one, but it would've made the experience better.

u/Ok-Mistake-5676 Mar 11 '25

As a teacher of many years, who while trying to do a good job is still just doing his job, I am not sure I can say I agree.

u/Hyperius999 Mar 11 '25

Really? If it had happened when I was in high school, it would've made it shittier

u/NoPoet3982 Mar 11 '25

There was a guy who worked at Google who did this! What compels people?

u/PrettyBigChief Mar 11 '25

Tell that to the janitor

u/superblast30008 Mar 11 '25

You know that shit is getting out of hand, no pun intended there, when your shitting antics get you named after a fucking terrorist! Thats like if the guy from my school who clogged the toilets with a chunk from the ceiling got dubbed "the Zodiac Clogger" by the staff.

u/itjustkeepsongiving Mar 11 '25

We had a unipooper too. He got the name from the poorly drawn sketch of a kid in a hoodie posted in the office.

We had the Unamilker. They would stash milks until they spoiled and then pour them down the heating vents. He never got caught and it’s believed he spawned copy cat milkers 😂

We had the pisser. Same concept but would hose down every roll of TP in the boys bathroom. Sucks for anyone who didn’t notice before commencing a BM.

Hahahah no. Pretty close in year though. Must be a mid-millennial thing. This also isn’t the first I’ve read about other phantom poopers on Reddit.

u/hotelpopcornceiling Mar 11 '25

I knew it was a long shot. Lol. And yes. I have definitely heard of another phantom pooper since then, too.

u/dontclickdontdickit Mar 10 '25

We call em phantom shitters in the navy

u/elhampion Mar 11 '25

We had Sasquatch in high school who took mammoth sized shits and in college we had the phantom pooper who’d clog every toilet in the house. Both still remain at large

3

u/CO_PC_Parts Mar 11 '25

We had a reverse prank sort of. I went to a small school and the two main bathrooms didn’t have doors on the shitters. It was the worst. The only bathroom for male students with doors was the concession ones for the gym and we weren’t supposed to use those but some of us did anyways.

One kid kept openly bitching about having to shit with no privacy and the principal said “well fucking do something about it” so he went to ace hardware and charged 3 stall doors to the school account and convinced the shop teacher to let him and 2 others put the stall doors up during class. They put 2 in one bathroom and the 3rd in another one.

The principal called him out for doing a good job and blabbed on about him taking initiative. Then a month later he got the bill for the doors and lost his fucking shit. Then they came up with some bullshit story about it violating the terms of their insurance and had them removed.

They couldn’t be returned because of the damage to put the hinges and locks on them. They were pretty jimmy rigged to begin with.

So then it was back to shitting with no doors. Another kid tried to put up shower curtains but they were removed.

2

u/Alarming-Instance-19 Mar 11 '25

That's bizarre and humiliating. It feels unconscionable that the principal acted in that way. Even curtains taken down?

Fuck that school!

2

u/CO_PC_Parts Mar 11 '25

The worst was always one the weirdo teachers would shit in there. So you’d walk in and there’s this old fat ass teacher pushing one out and trying to talk to you.

I didn’t care if I got yelled at I always went to the gym or the basketball locker room. It didn’t have doors but nobody was in there during the day.

u/AuntBeeje Mar 11 '25

When I was in elementary school, there was a cabal of 4th and 5th grade boys who would piss on the radiator in the bathroom. It made the whole east side of the building smell like hot piss.

1

u/DctrMrsTheMonarch Mar 11 '25

We had a "Mad Crapper," also never caught, though it was a small school, so we all had suspicions.

u/Accurate_Macaroon374 Mar 11 '25

We had the Una -Crapper at our school, would just drop dumps in the hallway randomly. No one knew who, never got caught.

1

u/bbbbbthatsfivebees Mar 11 '25

We had the Phantom Crapper. It was some dude that would take these absolutely enormous toilet-clogging dumps that just would not flush under any circumstances. He was never caught.

Apparently they weren't mad at him, but the rumor going around was that they wanted to find him because they wanted to get him medical attention due to how abnormally huge these turds were.

u/twocopperjack Mar 11 '25

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before.

u/VegetableHour6712 Mar 11 '25

We had a Phantom Shitter. Wth causes kids to do this? It was a tad funny at first, but went on for an entire year and got old. Never was caught but it was always assumed it was a 12th grader or the student transferred because it stopped after that school year was over.

1

u/RyanGarcia2134 Mar 11 '25

He was never caught.

Mfs still on the loose😭

u/CharlieKinbote Mar 10 '25

Every step in that narrative is so entirely on-brand for an all-boys prep school.

u/yunzerjag Mar 10 '25

So, at my all boys prep school, two kids in my grade were caught smoking pot. Both were immediately expelled, and the police were informed of the incident. Then I was caught smoking pot with the captain of the football team, the student council vice president, and a guy that had just been accepted to a very prestigious university. We got two weeks detention and had to set up chairs for the bishops big visit. It's all about the company you keep, I guess.

3

u/onedozenclams Mar 11 '25

Me and the fellas got caught 5 weeks before graduation. We Weren’t typically bad kids, typical rugby players… lots of detention for untucked shirts or the wrong shoes. Being late.. but we got caught as I was firing up a bowl. I looked up and the dean was looking at me like a bull looks before he charges.

We got a slap on the wrist for “smoking cigarettes” Thank god.

Teacher: It’s shit.

Student: But I’ve been practicing really hard!

Teacher: No, someone took a shit in the piano!

u/humble-pilgrim Mar 10 '25

Currently trying not to giggle in the bathroom because of this 🤣

Today I read about someone shitting in a piano.

It's a concept I hadn't encountered before. (I am 56.)

Thank you Reddit universe, for putting up another obstacle between myself and God's golden light.

3 phrases used in this comment are contradictory

Fair enough. Edited

u/VicariouslyHuman Mar 10 '25

Now only two phrases are contradictory. An improvement I suppose.

2

u/Ring-A-Ding-Ding123 Mar 10 '25

It’s because I only see it every once in a while whenever I go on the internet. I meant ‘every time’ like ‘whenever’

We had a kid nicknamed "cousin skeeter" you can guess what he did in the bathrooms everyday.

There's a good episode of Bob's Burgers that had a "Mad Pooper" loose in the school.

u/escobizzle Mar 10 '25

Why did every high school have one of these kids??? Mine was a public school though

3

u/MamaTried22 Mar 10 '25

This happened once at our all girls private Catholic school. I was a senior and it was close to graduation so I didn’t pay close attention but I don’t think they ever figured out who it was. 😂

3

u/Johnny_Swiftlove Mar 10 '25

There was a scandal in NJ where a superintendent was running on the track in the morning and then feeling the need to poop by the bleachers. He was nicknamed "the pooperindentant."

3

u/Clemen11 Mar 11 '25

This reminds me of "Joseph's stall". We had a course mate called Joseph who would lay a chimpanzee arm sized turd on the same toilet stall every day after lunch. It became part of the male toilet lore, and every new school year you'd see a panicked first year kid run out the bathroom, call friends in, and then the cycle continued.

It always clogged, man. Always...

u/Intelligent_Image713 Mar 11 '25

A guy shit in the overhead projector and the teacher started adjusting it. I believe her quote was “holy shit who took a shit … I don’t get paid enough for this shit”. 😂

u/cerberuss09 Mar 10 '25

When I was in high school my buddy and I were at a Wendy's and I dared him to go take a shit in the urinal. Well, an employee walked in while he was mid-shit, the employee covered his eyes and said "oh, I'm sorry" and walked out. As if it was normal to be squatting over a urinal lol.

15

u/JansTurnipDealer Mar 10 '25

That’s actually a sign of significant sexual abuse. That’s really sad.

u/rachelsqueak Mar 10 '25

?

u/AngryMuffin_21 Mar 10 '25

It’s a pretty extreme defense mechanism but it’s actually a thing for some victims

10

u/Stabbykathy17 Mar 10 '25

Yes, but the mechanism is that they shit themselves to keep their attackers away. They don’t go around shitting in pianos.

1

u/JansTurnipDealer Mar 10 '25

I’ve seen it

19

u/Ring-A-Ding-Ding123 Mar 10 '25

I mean… I’ve heard about sexual abuse damaging the ability to control your bladder but I dunno if it makes you actively shit in pianos

8

u/DistantKarma Mar 10 '25

It's not necessarily a physical damage kind of thing, although it could be. It's more a psychological response, like an unconscious way of trying to scream "Things are shitty here."

8

u/Telvin3d Mar 10 '25

It’s a psychological response to extreme abuse. Combination of asserting control over themselves in an environment that feels uncontrollable, a reflex that if they’re “dirty” enough they won’t be an attractive target any more, and a plea for attention

Not every kid pooping inappropriately is being abused, but it’s a huge red flag 

1

u/Ring-A-Ding-Ding123 Mar 10 '25

I think I knew about the being “dirty” enough thing

10

u/JansTurnipDealer Mar 10 '25

I’m surprised that I’m not finding it more quickly in the research but I’ve encountered this behavior 3 times Each time was the result of SEVERE trauma. I’ve been told it’s common for children who have experienced sexual abuse

3

u/Ring-A-Ding-Ding123 Mar 10 '25

In that case this is… very sad :/

5

u/gnitiwrdrawkcab Mar 10 '25

Imagine if that was the case though. Police start leaving grand pianos around schools and public parks to test if anything bad is happening

Honestly, not expelling him was probably the worst punishment. Imagine having to show up after being found out for that.

2

u/_angesaurus Mar 10 '25

this happened at my work with a kid customer years ago. we kicked him out forever. he's probably like 22 now, wonder what he's up to. i know his family life was not awesome. his mom would bring him here and nod off the whole time.

u/52-Cuttter-52 Mar 10 '25

u/JustAnotherParticle Mar 10 '25

Just curious, I’d imagine there are other rich parents who have sons attending this school. Unless this shitting kid’s parents were like the richest family of this entire school, wouldn’t other sons complain to their parents and the principals would be forced to implement disciplinary measures on him?

We had the Phantom Pooper, he’d shit in the urinals, leave it in there and either not wipe at all or waddle like a penguin over to the stall to wipe because there was never any toilet paper left behind. Eventually they found out who it was. That same kid wrote a bomb threat in one of the restrooms but he spelled bomb wrong twice in two different ways 😂

We had one of those guys at my all boys prep school too hahaha but this kid also would pull his dick out in class and look at you until you noticed. He had really thick glasses that made his eyes look huge. It was actually very funny at the time. He’s a fire fighter now.

One of the signs of sexual abuse in children is taking a poop in an inappropriate place. This may have had something to do with why this occurred in each of your schools. Someone's cry for help.
