A Texas woman shocked onlookers outside a Dollar Tree in Austin when she suddenly dropped her pants and defecated on the sidewalk in broad daylight. The disturbing scene left witnesses stunned, but things took an even stranger turn when she offered up a bizarre explanation.
The woman’s explanation only added fuel to the madness. According to the Texas woman, she had no control over the incident because someone had “pushed a button” that made it happen. In a now-viral TikTok video capturing the aftermath, the woman sits on the pavement as someone off-camera bluntly asks why she defecated outside. Her response, a Dollar Tree employee, “pushed a button” that triggered the incident.
When that excuse didn’t appear to gain her any sympathy, she went with another bizarre excuse that sent the Internet into chaos with jokes and memes. The Texas shopper continued to make the poopcatastrophe even worse by demanding her change and threatening to call the police, though many viewers would argue it was her mess that called for a visit from law enforcement. One TikTok commenter joked that the cameraman deserved a medal for warning customers before they stepped in the disaster.
The Internet Demands Answers About the Infamous Texas Poop Button
The Texas woman then insisted her diabetes was somehow to blame, though diabetics everywhere would likely disagree. That excuse didn’t fly with viewers, especially since most people with diabetes don’t relieve themselves in front of a Dollar Tree.
To top it all off, the Texas woman began demanding her change and threatening to call the police—as if she were the one wronged. Honestly, someone should have called the cops, if only to deal with what she left behind. Meanwhile, the real MVP of the situation might’ve been the cameraman, who warned unsuspecting customers as they approached the scene. The best part? As the woman finally walked away, he sent her off with the unforgettable line: “Don’t forget your shit.”
Viewers on TikTok were both horrified and annoyed that the video actually showed the aftermath. Some scolded the poster, saying they didn’t need visual proof, while others couldn’t get past the sheer absurdity of the “button” excuse. “WHAT BUTTON IS THIS???” one TikToker asked, while another demanded to know exactly what button could possibly trigger such chaos.
Bad Day To Be A Dollar Tree Employee In Texas
The clip made its way to Reddit, where the commentary got even more savage. One user joked that she needed a vet checkup like a rescue animal, suggesting a full diet review and medication. Another sarcastically played along, writing, “Well, it’s not her fault, they pushed the poop button.” And for clarity, a Type 1 diabetic chimed in to set the record straight. “There’s no magical button that causes spontaneous sidewalk accidents,” they stated.
The situation quickly went from disgusting to meme-worthy, leaving many scarred and others deeply amused. Still, everyone had the same lingering question: What on earth was she talking about, and where is this so-called button?
The woman’s wild excuse about a mysterious button only fueled the confusion and disbelief. It’s turning what should have been a simple mess into an unforgettable viral spectacle. While many were horrified, others found dark humor in the situation. As for the Austin, Texas Dollar Tree? It’s a story that won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
