Stopsign Quit tossing your Pee-Bottles! Please!!

I know this issue has been touched on before but I just have to start a new thread.
While driving up HWY 95 through Oregon I must have counted at least 50 pee bottles in a stretch of only 15 miles. I just don't understand why these have to be thrown out your window, onto the side of the road.
I understand why you use them and I'm not totally opposed to it, but is it really that difficult to just pour it into a toilet at a rest stop or even in the dirt on the side of the road?

The roads and highways are OUR workplace! Why on earth are some people so lazy that they just 'chuck' them out the window and drive on!

It's no wonder that some people see truckers as disgusting dirty people. I challenge those that are guilty of this disgusting practice to just make an effort to either throw it away in the trash, pour it out in the dirt somewhere or God forbid, get off your lazy behind and go use the toilet!

I forget what road I was on, but last year I stopped to walk the dog (and yes I picked up his "business"), and scattered around a trash can were about 30 Gatorade bottles which I highly doubt contained the flavor on the label.

Talk about a bio-hazard. Most disgusting thing I have ever seen.

I couldn't agree with you more. I just don't understand why people do it...laziness I guess.

How do you know it wasn't Gatorade? Did you not try it?

I think its pretty disgusting to pee in a bottle while you are driving. I always make time to stop and use the restroom. Laziness is the reason some people wont use a toilet.

The sad thing is they probably pull over and do it, then throw the bottle out.
One thing I thought about though is that this thread will do NO GOOD at all to deter anyone. I think that the ones pee'ing in the bottles probably don't have an IQ high enough to work a computer let alone find this site and use it. lol
They can't find a toilet so how can we expect them to know how to use the internet.
