Many Torontonians are appalled after learning that some residents at a St. James Town apartment building were throwing feces at electrical contractors working to restore power to some units.

A letter about the incident was sent to residents at 77 Howard St. last week and was shared on Reddit. According to the building’s management company, Wellesley-Parliament Square (WPSQ), electrical contractors were there to restore power to some units following last Tuesday’s historic rain storm.

“Dear residents, it has come to our attention that a small group of residents are repeatedly interfering, threatening, and/or harassing members of the electrical contracting team,” the letter reads.

“Reports of unacceptable behaviour include throwing human waste from upper-level balconies at workers below, aggressive language, and/or hostile interactions. These actions are disrupting efforts to repair the building and will only serve to prolong the restoration effort,” it continued.

WPSQ adds that the professionals have been working around the clock since Tuesday to restore the power.

“It makes no sense why anyone would want to interfere with this work, cause additional delays contribute to an already challenging situation. We firmly believe that…most residents will be shocked to learn this behaviour is occurring. Nevertheless…we want it to stop,” the letter said.

From the headline: "it makes no sense".

We are a silly species and sometimes we just throw some poo at other people for no obvious reason.
