I was at a service plaza in NJ once, and my teenage son was riding with me. It was broad daylight, and this one truck pulls in, and my son says "Mom, is he doing what I think he's doing?" Sure enough he was, out in front of God and everyone. My son took a picture of him to show his friends when he got home.

Shouldn't the question be more like, Why do they do it? It can't always be that they are lazy or the bathrooms are full. I know that because I went to the bathroom once and when I came out discovered it was the mens. Man was I embarrassed. Not so much that I saw them but they saw me. Shoot, I practically ran to my truck. When I got there I looked around and saw a guy relieving himself beside the building. Well I knew for a fact the restroom had plenty of room.

Someone in training pointed this out to me...that if you get caught whipping it out and watering the bushes, tires...whatever, you can get arrested and charged as a sex offender or something like that. Even if its in the middle of nowhere.

Never thought about it.

Well, I am planning on using a porta potty. They have this stuff that you put in it and it will break everything down (like toilet paper) and take out the smell. When you empty it, its just liquid with no oder.

Yuck that's gross! Now you have to handle a funnel that has pee on it as well as a pee filled bottle. It's going to get on your hands and god knows what else. Not to mention the stinky urine smell that now fills the cabin.
eww. Not me!

Yeah, it's called public tippling or something like that.

I've seen people do the same thing. After watching some guy take a leak at the fuel island I went over to him and asked him to please use the bathroom inside next time and just walked away, maybe, just maybe he will do it. I think we have to keep after one another, I have no problem saying something like this, maybe some day I will get my head kicked in, but until that day I will keep on speaking my peace.

Yep..it was nasty...

But she was nastier...and she was a LEAD DRIVER with a "so called" good company.....I gave dispatch a call and requested to be taken off her truck and when they ask me "why" I told them and they laughed...I am so glad I don't have to put up with her crap anymore.......or THAT company...

really ? when did indoor plumbing get invented? I know the feeling man, I can't count the times I have just returned from showering, using restroom, or eating, just too see a hand get out of his truck to take a leak on his tires. We as a whole need to realize that there is more lady drivers and more drivers out there that brings the kids with them. Think before you act people
