Ha! Maybe in California, but it's sure not that way everywhere. What happens if you're watering the yard and want a drink out of the hose? You guys don't do that? You actually have to have two separate water lines coming to your houses? In any case, I was just joking about him peeing in the sink. But he stated that he was on a well, so I would assume that he is also on a septic system and may or may not have a separate drain for gray water. You guys probably don't have septic systems, either, do you?
you not only have to worry about dog poop in the lot.an increasing number of drivers are squatting behind their trailers and leaving the paper and pile.this has been increasing over the past 2 years.
taking a leak behind your truck is OK in my book, taking a 10-200 is unacceptable, unless your in BFE, no facilities, and 100% emergency, no way out
I think you've hit on something there Wargames. Maybe the poopers we're talking about are merely evolutionarily-challenged. By some Darwinian dipsy doodle, they are high functioning enough to drive a truck, but not high functioning enough to understand and adapt to toilet training. Another explanation could be that they are socially sociopathic. They know that pooping, and leaving poop, in a public place is unacceptable, but, because of their ailment, they are incapable of giving a rat's ###.
BFE like going across I10 in Texas between San Antonio and El Paso. Those little "rest stops" (basically pull-offs) with no facilities whatsoever, a couple of trash cans that haven't been emptied in six months. Everybody, including four-wheelers, just walks back into the desert a little, squats behind a tree or rock, and goes right there. Gotta be careful because you could end up walking up on someone behind a tree (I did that, scared the bejeezus out of the lady trying to empty herself AND me!). Good thing is, it goes right into the ground whenever it rains (rarely) or just dries up in the sun. But that is a long LONG stretch. What else you gonna do?
sheesh, thank god I'm local and not otr. and thank god I have decient excuse for use of a "pee jug/thunder can", lol. have seen similar thread pop up a few times last few months, some strong opinions about pee and bathrooms on these boards, lol those with the extreme "eww, that's sick, how could you consider much less even use such a thing, how gross", I'd love you to ride one day with me, see if you can hold it that long, or if you would opt for pee on ground or in a jug
See, I agree with having a pee jug in the truck, you pretty much HAVE to. OTR or local. As long as you dispose of it properly and frequently, I don't see the problem. But in the house? I fail to see the point in that. And trust me, I've had to evacuate in some of the most inhospitable and exposed places (the "rest areas" in the middle of the desert with no facilities, not even a payphone), but I make #### sure it's where nobody will accidentally step in it or anywhere near it.
Pee jug? a must have. If your at a warehouse that won't let you use their restroom and your locked in the dock in a fenced in all concrete yard, with people all over so you can't just walk into the bushes or go pee by your tandoms, what else are you gonna do. 3 am, I'm just saying, if i get dressed, walk to the restroom, walk back, get undressed, i won't be able to just go back to sleep. Lots of situations pop up where your not going to have a bathroom or be in a place where outside is an option. But, how I dispose of said urine is my responsibility and when i get somewhere that i can dispose properly i do so. I pour into the grass AWAY from where people are, or, take into the restroom at a rest area, outhouse, off the side of a ramp, ect. Then i wash out the jug with window wash fluid and after a my week out I throw it away. If i see someone pouring out on pavement or leaving the jug I say something. Last week, wedsday, De Witte, IN. Sitting in my truck at rest area there getting ready to roll after a break, Burgandy Mercede's pulls up. Older gentleman gets out and walks to the rest rooms, younger guy, early 20's gets out of the back seat, and, wait for it, proceeds to pee right out in the parking lot. Not even facing the car, but right in front of everyone. I stuck my head out the window and shouted HEY! but he just kept on going. Stupid little smile on his face the whole time. So, talk about bad public behaivour, theres your sign, it would have to be an expensive car too. b
I agree dispose of in a decent manner. I usually dump my coffee can out in a ditch, rinse with water out of my cooler (ice melts ya know). kid at work suggested start rinsing my can out closer to tanks, to help detour critters from living under the tanks, but I just cant, lol. I'll let the guys with aiming abilities do that, lol. I'm not going behind tandems as much as used to, have been caught pulling pants up couple times now, just embarrassing, lol. really hate the jokes about how a girl cant hold it.
