I’ve always wondered how TF people can be so bad at shitting into the toilet. I have a coworker back in 2008 tell a story that shed some light….

He was attending a Jets game after a heavy night of drinking, and obviously more drinking was done at the game. He started to feel the gurgle that we all know preceeds a massive eruption and bee-lined it to the nearest bathroom and by some pure chance of divine intervention, there was an open stall. His pants were already released and ready to drop as he hurried into the stall. He didnt even bother locking the door, made the turn as he dropped trou, and unfortunately Mt Vesuvius blew before touchdown. Extreme immediate relief was followed by absolute sheer terror as he looked down and then behind him as he observed he had just re-plastered the wall behind the toilet with brown spackle. Prompt personal cleaning ensued, and immediate evacuation of the stall and bee-lining it as far from ground zero as he could. He said he has never been so emberrased and helpless feeling as in that moment. He felt terrible for the poor bastard that had to wash down that wall.

On edit. Ive only had two personal experiences where nature required unconventional measures. I was 3 miles into a 4.5 mile tunnel we were building, 1.5 miles away from the nearest portapotty. There was no option but to release some pressure. Thankfully it was a raw water tunnel going to a water treatment plant so no fouling of “clean” drinking water would take place. A couple years back, i did a 7 day liquid fast. I was waiting for some of our welds to get x-rayed and the contractor f-ed up the scheduling and i had a week of little to no responsibilities on site while waiting for the x-rays to take place so i decided to see if i could make it a week with no food. Water, coffee and protein shakes only. It was surprisingly easy. Poor planning on my part, i decided to start eating solid foods as i started my drive back across the country from NY to Ca. I made it to the middle of Utah and my body was pretty unhappy with my poor decisions. It was all i could do to waddle to the other side of the truck clinching the inevitable fire hose after pulling on an off ramp shoulder and throwing it into park. I can imagine if that event ocurred in a public setting, it would have resulted in some very unfavorable and embarrassing results.

Im sure everyone has at least one great shitting in weird places story.

You’d be better off with a shovel and a roll of TP squatting over a desert animal trying not to shit on your pants.

… that shitter had a reputation dating way back into the mid 60s…

 

[JB in so cal]

But who among us would stop, open the door, look in and see the toilet packed with the most vile excrement, and think; oh, ill just take a piss....

Me! Several times. Guilty lol

 

[LHC Kirby]

First time we stopped there…. All four girls went behind the station and pissed on the dirt. Sorry no pictures.

 

[Ziggy]

I can honestly say I never stopped there or even siggested it to the wife....she's got no problem peeing by a roadside bush.

 

[bilz]

Live long enough or travel long enough something is bound to happen. Add beer to the equation and it will happen sooner. Always carry are spare change and a roll.

 

[Willie B]

… probably 1967 myself and a friend just had to go look to see if that shitter was as bad as it’s reputation… And yes, it was that bad…

 

[Orange Juice]

I always thought the old Circle K bathroom in Gila bend was disgusting, until I stop at desert center.

 

[2Driver]

Ironically, Ive noticed that nasty bathrooms on a routine basis are in grocery stores.

Youd think they would have a professional cleaning crew, but when my son was a bagger at Safeway it was the kids that did it and they weren't exuberant about the challenge.

Tucker Max's infamous "poop scene" in the 2009 film "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" depicts him defecating graphically in a hotel bathroom and lobby after a prank causes severe intestinal distress. The scene is described as "one of the most epic poop scenes in history" with feces being strewn around. While meant to be outrageous comedy, this scene exemplifies the crass and misogynistic humor that Max was known for in promoting his "fratire" persona of unapologetic debauchery.

That was one of the funniest crap in shorts scenes ever. I could not stop laughing.

I work in construction the Mexicans are the worst. They purposely shit all over why I don’t know. Then come out of outhouse bragging about it.

One incident a worker wrote with marker asking the superintendent why don’t you get toilets cleaned. He got word and typed up a response on paper and taped it below. Said in a way do you go this to your home toilets if not then why here. Last but not least do not tag the toilets either

I had a job where we were demoing some existing structures on the site, the demo crew were all Mexicans and probably most were illegals too. I started the job with 3 porta-potties, and they destroyed all of them in 3 days - boot prints on the seats, shit on the walls, shit on the backside of the seat lid, piss all over the floors, used TP just thrown on the floor, they were cleaned twice a week. After that first week, I got another porta-potty for myself and put a lock on it. When they asked why I put a lock on the one unit I told that if they didn't destroy the bathrooms I wouldn't need to get my own. Is that how you treat the bathrooms at your homes? I got no answer and they still continued to destroy them. I even had their foreman ask if I could get the toilets serviced more often. I told him that it's only your guys out here, you talk to them. He finally got rid of or sent the 2 guys that seemed to be the least domesticated to another job and the issues stopped.

Least domesticated...

Many people from Mexico don't put paper in the toilet. But that doesn't explain the portal potty bs.

I’m 51 years old.

I never shit in a public bathroom until about 6 months ago. One time, that’s it.
I never shit in the restroom at school K-12.

I don’t eat fast food, drink alcohol or soda pop, no medications.
After my endoscopy they put me on Prilosec. I took it for a few weeks and quit. Started drinking Kombuchia and my acid reflux went away.

Funny shit huh?

Unfortunately sometimes I like to drive to river super early so I can see the sun come up and get to my house and jump on meeting calls right around 8am... there has been a time or two where I have to go in desert cause I started the journey too early and add in the coffee...... Those critters out there must think there was a apex predator come through!

This it mind bottling.

I have a few friends and an old boss I really respect that are porcelain princesses and won't shit anywhere but on the comfort of their own commode. I would much rather shit in a public restroom or porta potty than be uncomfortable for hours.

I’m no porcelain princess, I have shit in the woods on a regular basis but I have never had an issue making it home to shit.
I would if I needed too I just haven’t.
I have always been a morning and evening shitter.

A few months ago I left hone at 3:00 AM to go and rebuild a Jaw Crusher at a marathon pace. I didn’t need to go and left home. About 5 hours later I used the shitter at a convenience store…….

This type of actions baffles me..I wouldn’t have them cleaned but once a week..that way every time that they would have to use it they would have to deal with their classless action and clean it first.

 

[Chili Palmer]

I think that they would steal the TP too.

Friend had a pool built by blue fountain. The animals used the pool between shotcrete and plaster as the Porta potty. Instead of walking a few minutes to front yard where Porta potty was. The plasterers had to suck it out. It was foul as fuck for weeks. The plasterer told me they routinely did that.

My dad worked on Arrowhead stadium when it was built. The ticket vault was a convenient corner to piss in. Before the job was over they had to tear the vault out and re-pour the concrete because the piss smell was so bad and had penetrated the concrete.

Went to look at a new house build of a friend of mine. Opened the door and the smell was overwhelming. Found a shit bucket in the basement half full…..

There has been a couple jobs that I have got our own porta potty and put a combo lock on it. They have been where the masonry company has built the site walls at new developments. Those nasty bastards could fill the johns up so the shit was crowning the seat in two days. Don't know what those guys ate, but pretty sure they could give Dave and the China Buffet story a run for the money. The worst is when it rained and the pumper truck couldn't get in to pump it because of the mud. Pretty sure it was flowing out the door before they lit it on fire.

 

[OCMerrill]

Oh yeah it did. My Dad used to say... to use those, you shit in your hand, open the door, and throw it in there.

Circa 1970.

I worked a pipeline job in West Virginia once. The port o potties were on a trailer in tow behind a tracked vehicle called a marooka. They would tow these John’s up and down the mountains for the welding crew and us X-Ray guys. Well some of these welders had some really hot wife/girlfirend’s helping them on the job. As you can imagine a port o shitter getting dragged up a mountain side on a bouncy ass trailer makes for a real nasty mess by the time it gets to the top! These poor girls had to use them! It was hard to watch but I laughed! I wouldn’t go near those things! I pissed in the woods and waiting for a cleanish stationary John or waited til I got back to the hotel if I had to shit.
