20-6-2024 (SINGAPORE) A morning commute took an unexpected turn for one passenger on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) when she allegedly stumbled upon a rather unsavoury sight – what appeared to be a lump of poop near the entrance of an MRT cabin. The bizarre discovery, which occurred on Wednesday (19 June), has sparked a wave of bemusement and humorous reactions across social media platforms.
The woman, identified as 27-year-old Payton Pangleton, shared her peculiar encounter on a local subreddit, jokingly suggesting that the substance might have been the inspiration behind the brown colour of the TEL. According to her account, she made the startling find during her journey from Maxwell to Orchard station on Wednesday morning.
Pangleton recounted her initial reaction, stating, “Haha, that’s funny. I should take a picture of it. What an odd thing to see in the morning; you won’t see that again.” While the precise nature of the substance remains unconfirmed, she noted that it did not emit a “fresh” odour, leading her to speculate that it had been present for some time.
The photograph, which captured the mysterious brown lump nestled near the cabin doors, quickly gained traction on social media platforms. The popular Instagram account @sgfollowsall amplified the buzz by reposting the images, prompting a flurry of humorous responses and poop-themed puns from amused netizens.
The incident, while undoubtedly bizarre, has ignited a lighthearted discussion among the online community. Some have speculated about the potential circumstances that led to the alleged excrement’s appearance in such an unlikely location, while others have embraced the comedic value of the situation, contributing their own witty remarks and wordplays.
Amidst the jovial banter, questions have been raised regarding the cleanliness and maintenance protocols in place for the city-state’s public transportation system. Authorities have yet to comment on the matter, leaving the origins and the nature of the substance a subject of speculation and tongue-in-cheek humour for the time being.
