The worst showers have got to be in Canada, the showers in Petro-Canada "truck stops". Some of those trucks stops are fully automatic, no people there working. You fuel yourself with your Petro-Canada fuel card (if you have one), then you can use your fuel card as a key to the shower. There was 2 of them and they were 2 in 1, shower and washroom. Every truck driver that fuels goes in there and does #1, some #2 and some do whatever...
And then some one has to use this place as a shower. It is impossible to describe how discusting the place was. No one to complain to and no one cleaning the shower.

MedicineMan, here is a quote from your post:
"My worst was a long time ago and I don't knwo if it's still around. Pheonix AZ, not the sapp bro but the other one..."

I know of the truckstop you're talking about. It's not there anymore. It was razed and replaced with a Pilot. I remember that place well. I'll never forget it, in fact. I stopped in there in August 95, fueled up, and grabbed a shower. This shower was unlike any I had seen on the road. I never saw any others like it after, either.

When you took a shower at this place, you went in through two swinging "saloon" style doors. You picked a spot, called it your own, and went to town. There was a drainage trough in the floor that went past each stall. Those who were downhill got to watch all the filth run by from their uphill neighbors. I think the black floor was mere concrete, and I felt like a cow in a milking parlor. It was a nasty place, man. It was probably one of the nastiest.

There is another bad one in Plant City, Florida. Or at least it was there in 1998. Dirt lot, whores, thieves.....the works.

NoTarps, I've heard that sort of thing before. It pisses me off, really. The US taxpayer plops down, what, 400 billion these days on defense? And look what the soldiers get.....tents that blow apart in the desert wind, Humvees that don't have enough armor (and drivers have to reinforce on their own dimes), and this bad water thing you're talking about.

What the hell are they doing with all that mulla at the Pentagon? Even with all their pet projects, there is still plenty left over to spend on the grunts. Are they STILL spending fifty bucks on a roll of tissue paper or 100 bucks on a pencil?

The troops in Iraq should have armored cars, spas, swimming pools, and five-star hotels, all paid for by the US government.

They're good at skimping, but it sure didn't take them long to build that hospital in San Antonio to hide all the amputees. They're also very, very good at hiding pictures of the coffins coming back from ChevRaq.
