Just when ya think ya seen everything...

ewwwwwww. I never thought of that aspect of the wizz bottles. nasty

 

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "golden shower."

 

Pee bottles...it MUST be real hard for those drivers to empty those bottles...the Leave no Trace program for hikers and outdoors people states that urine is not an problem in nature, so it should be easy to empty the bottles into the dirt or grass somewhere, then dispose of the bottle into the trash.

 

Who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.

 

Well, I hope I never see a driver leave one of those things around and then go to sleep or leave their truck............

I'll empty it for them...........

 

I have seen a guy jump out of of his truck, go behind the cab and start peeing and there was a public bathroom a less than a 10 sec walk... sheessh... or how about the guys that take a dump and leave it in the parking lot!!! EWWWWW

 

I've never seen someone leave a dump in the parking lot. I did pull into a rest area to check my load and a reefer was following me in. Team drivers, apparently. They both got out, stood between the tractor and trailer (on opposite sides), took a leak, then pretended to be checking out their tractor.

 

#######es come in all ages, sizes, genders and intelligence levels, folks. It's just a fact. I just hope I don't see someone dumping one of those things off somewhere. It would be worth it to launch it right back at their truck and urge them to tie the dang thing in a knot if they're too stupid to find a garbage can to deposit their junk in.

That kind of thing makes me wish it would be legal (and that there was such a spray) to carry around a blow dart gun with anti-####### spray on the tips to shoot some of these folks with...

 

unfortunely there isn't a law against being a #######. If so this would be a pretty small world. We were traveling one time and had a trucker throw one out his window and I thought Rick was going to whoop up on him due to the fact it bounced off the road and hit our grill. But we could never catch up with him.

 

Folks, we're really preaching to the choir here.

This is a well-moderated site full of classy folks who were brought up right. Not many here are crapping in parking lots, tossing Agent Yellow bombs out the window or throwing their trash beside the dumpster. We all agree it's nasty...so what can we do about it besides keep up our own habits of sanitation?

Well, we could drag the next pig we see doing this out of his cab and rub his face in his own mess, but that simply invites legal trouble, not to mention the possibility of a hernia from trying to manhandle 600 pounds of slobby excuse for a human being. So that's out.

Or...we can all start doing on a regular basis, what I do on occasion. When you pull into a place, be it a TS, rest area, pulloff, git-on ramp or whatever, and you see this sort of thing...take action!!

I put on my gloves, have my can of Lysol within reach on the step, and I pick the freakin' things up myself. If there's a garbage can, in they go. If there isn't one, the bottles are poured out in the dirt/grass* and the bottles are piled together. Then I spray the hell out of my gloves with the Lysol, grab my little bottle of hand sanitzer, and move on down the road, satisfied that I'm not only not part of the problem, I'm an active part of the solution.

I was raised not to complain unless I was prepared to do something about it, so I do. How about those of us civilized drivers resolve to do this on an average of once a week or so? Think it'd make a difference? I do.

Maybe we'll never have a strike, or change the hiring practices of scumbag carriers. But this is something we all can do to improve the image of our industry. If not us...who?


* DON'T pour it on the pavement. It just sits there and stinks.
