As a resident of the Golden State, I'm glad you don't make your deposits here.

For what it's worth, I read a sign at Bozo's Car Museum in Santa Rosa, New Mexico that cracked me up ---------

Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.

I thought that was pretty good advice -- and the museum was a pleasure to tour.
Not far from the TA --- On Historic Route 66.
Check it out.

"I'll give you my wisdom on this - I have never in my life pee'd in a bottle/jug/milk bottle whatever. I have always held it in even to the point of hurting. I have held it in for hours and hours on end until I found a place to urinate - or defecate - in a toilet. Out in the middle of nowhere, such as between El Paso and San Antonio, I MIGHT have stopped and urinated next to the truck. You handle your business by holding it in. I never even THOUGHT about peeing into a jug until I started reading this forum, and frankly, I find it disgusting and quite undignified."


Health -wise, this isn't a good practice, to "hold it in to the point of hurting".
And I'd MUCH rather use my trusty "johnny pot", than risk being labeled a sex offender for the rest of my life, by getting caught "urinating next to my truck". AND, I clean it daily, NEVER throw bottle out window(eeeyewww) and always try to find a place in the dirt or someplace where there is no foot traffic to track "p" back into their trucks/vehicles.

I'm thinking the ladies might have a lesser chance of a rim shot with something a bit wider.

Is that a five gallon ?

Some of these entries are just plain nasty. BTW, I didn't say I urinated next to the truck in terms of being in open, plain view: I would get out of site, off the highway, behind bushes, whatever. That was the open road only. I drive in town all day long - I don't have pee bottles in my truck, thank you very much. If I have to go, I just hold it in until I get to wherever I'm going and let it loose in a porta-potty, public restroom, warehouse bathroom, wherever. To openly admit that you are squatting over a cat litter box - well, it's just plain wrong. Funnels and coolers and all this other bizarre stuff - where do you people come up with this stuff? I drove for a long, long time over the road - in all the major cities, in all the rush hour traffic, etc etc etc - didn't have pee bottles then, either.
