Port-a-potty ettiquette....

I was at a truck stop more than once and seen drivers just open the door and pee all over the cement, then they wonder why the truck stops look and smell like, well you know

Yeah I don't get it. The other day I was walking around my truck to make sure everything was in order before going to bed and the guy parked next to me was peeing by his trailer. We were like 20' from the truck stop building! Why not just use a toilet? People are crazy.

Sometimes I dump stuff out the window like tea or a soad I left open all night when I'm cleaning the truck. I don't crap in my truck, and I don't do it near it!

That is disgusting, all of this. Not only do alot of truck stops have this urine smell, but alot of drop yards do as well. Theres really no excuse especially if you are only 20ft away from the building. Sure if you wake up and can't help it, have to go, just break out the bottle. This is all you can do if you don't have a porta potty. If you need to do this, at very little just dispose of it properly. This kind of stuff just gives us all a bad name and I wish others would not do it.

Frankly, I would have taken it a step farther in that case.... I would have notified the truck stop manager, the local police, and I would have recorded the tractor number and made damn sure that the Safety department as well as the CEO's office of the "red Volvo" (Geee, I wonder what company that was??) knew about these "cretins"....oh, and did I mention I would forward digital pictures to them.....and probably post the pictures on the web??? Folks...this kind of conduct is not only "low class"... its NO CLASS, and it shows that the driver/s are f'ing morons...who should have the everloving shit stomped out of them, then thrown in jail. Man, I'm happy I wasn't there!!! HUMAN WASTE is considered "HAZMAT" and its for a reason. I have made calls on drivers before that I have seen doing this kind of thing....and I am rapidly approaching the point where I am going to photo document the actions of the "disgusting few" so that the cops have "proof" of the crime. YES!! this kind of nonsense is precisely why trucks are not welcome at many Wal-marts, that along with the trash the morons are too lazy to put in its proper place!! Two other minor comments: 1. The truck stops that have "RV/sanitary dumps" are in fact listed in the annual truckstop guide. 2. There is a version of the truck stop guide that is called the "RV'ers friend"...that is 100% identical to the truckstop guide .... except that it contains a list of all "Rest Areas" with RV/sanitary dumps. Yes, I carry a porta-potty...and its been a life saver at times. But...it only gets emptied "legally" and properly!!

Laziness, pure and simple.
IMHO, even pissing in a bottle is pure laziness when the bathroom is 20 feet from the truck.
