Man Defecates In Car After Roommate Asks Him To Turn Bathroom Fan On

Syracuse, NY – Don’t ever get between James Palmieri and his quiet time in the bathroom. Roommate David Utt found that out in the most disgusting way imaginable when he discovered that Palmieri had defecated in his car after simply asking him to turn the fan on.

Your worst “ roommate from hell ” experience has nothing on Palmieri. Back in March, the 59-year-old was suffering from severe diarrhea in the apartment he shared with 62-year-old Utt, who simply asked Palmieri to turn on the bathroom fan so he wouldn’t stink up the house .

“Thanks for the sympathy,” Palmieri snapped back, then threatening to “crap all over the house, the bathroom and my [Utt’s] car.”

Shortly after, Palmieri donned his pajama bottoms and went outside. Utt immediately knew something was up because Palmieri doesn’t smoke.

Utt later discovered that Palmieri had defecated in his car, after following a trail of human excrement leading from the bathroom and down the hallway.

“He clearly did this deliberately,” Utt said.

But at least Palmieri is good for his word. Utt’s ’97 Lincoln was filled with Palmieri’s excrement, “on the leather seats.”

Utt, needing to make a doctor’s appointment, had no choice but to drive the feces-laden vehicle . When he came home, he gave Palmieri an ultimatum, to which he responded “How does it feel to be sh** on?”

Palmieri was charged with second-degree harassment and fourth-degree criminal mischief, and declined to give his version of events to the press. He has since moved out.
