Potty Emergency

Classic thread

 

“Heavy Load Member”

 

In addition to the highly potential explosive scenario is the polar opposite that truck driving can cause. Sever constipation. Because you’re sitting, and not drinking enough water. Mix that with a couple days of eating a heavy cheese diet, maybe a couple slices of cheese pizza and some cheese curds to snack on and you forget to drink water? You’ve just turned your intestines into concrete. I saw a guy just the other day pass out in the stall next to me and the staff at the truckstop actually called an ambulance form. Yes, from constipation. Believe it or not people have died from it.

I’ve had one shoulder blowout emergency. I feel like I handled it pretty well. And yes it does come out of nowhere. As the saying goes, “when you gotta go, you gotta go.”

 

Best thread ever. Any driver that hasn't had that happen has not been driving that long. Ask me how I know.

 

It happens!!!!!

 

Oh my, looks like you had the runs but nowhere left to run........

 

Yeah I’m jumping out the cab,but I’m definitely not going to take a s*** in the sleeper.

 

Well, I can usually feel it coming a bit before it actually gets there.
Like anything in this business, it takes a little planning in advance.

 

Had that happen to Me , Really flat land all around . This was in the 80s , cabover truck. NO PLACE to hide!! 3 alarm emergency!! Lets just say it was cold in that reefer trailer with some plastic bags. You do what you have to.
