    Now that would give whole new meaning to being "salty".
    They should have told you that when you described the issue to them, assuming you did describe it. I hate it when TA does that, though, waits forever to say "we can't help you".
    I regularly take an extended amount of time in the shower myself. Not because of cooking but because I have a lot of bandages to change when I am in the shower. I wouldn't worry too much about comments here over taking too long. You likely won't see any of these folks at any of the showers, I wouldn't think. Even if you did, you'd not know who they are unless they smell your food cooking and say something then. My only question if I smelled it would be could I have some bacon?

    I am amazed how you sneak all this stuff into the shower without anyone looking at you like you could have a bomb or guns in your bag or bags going into the shower.

    I see guys going into the shower with bags that look like they're stuffed with a month's worth of clothes. Nobody would blink an eye.

    I talked to a loves manager once who said many drivers around 1am and later go in as a man and come out women. Your post just reminded me of that. Lots of weird things happening in showers I guess.

    I was at a reststop in Minnesota last winter there was an apparently foreign guy hanging out in the lobby. I went in to use the restroom and he had a pressure cooker set up on the sink with an array of seasonings. That's where you want your food, near the urine and feces, just like home. I don't know why he didn't just plug in in the lobby .

    More eyes on it. And the pressure cooker is at least sealed.
