Last week we were in Florida, swimming and getting attacked by fish and enjoying tropical weather and two days ago we were in Denver, looking at snowy mountains and walking through a prairie dog town.
I'm going to miss that diversity.
One thing I won't miss, however, is this:
Himself: "Hi, we'd like to buy a shower, please."
Truck stop cashier: "Ok. But it will be a few minutes, they are being cleaned, but someone went to the bathroom in one and it may take a while."
*
I won't elaborate any further, other than to say that the shower rooms at this truck stop have no toilets in them. And she wasn't talking about pee.
To help you erase that lovely image from your mind, I leave you with this picture, showing what happens to a bag of Doritos when it travels from sea level to the Mile High City:
You should see what it does to a squirt bottle of mustard when I open it, but you have been traumatized enough. For today.
Pooping in a public shower? I though my kids had nasty bathroom habits but that it just gross.
ReplyDeleteIt's always the little things we take for granted. Like knowing where to do #2.
DeleteI hate it when people go to the bathroom in things that aren't bathrooms.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? And, that's not even the first time we came across such a thing.
DeleteWhat is wrong with people??
Guh-rohse. Really. I mean, I have to deal with that all the time around here, but in PUBLIC? Too much.
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, I'm still figuring out stupid fb but I don't think I can like you on there because somehow I'm a business and you're a person, and businesses can't like people no matter WHAT the campaign contribution laws say. I just wanted to let you know, in case I can't fb like you, that I do real-life like you. It's not as good as a fb like, I know, but it's something.
At least babies are supposed to poop at random and at the wrong place and time. Truckers? Not so much.
DeleteHa! There is definitely a learning curve to FB. And everything else that plugs into a wall or has a battery or gets its energy from aliens.
Note to self: public showers a no-no.
ReplyDeleteOr, if it has to happen, push that stuff down the drain yourself.
DeleteI just threw up a little. Let's think of something else.
Butterflies! Kittens! Bleach!
haha! OH admit it...you'll miss all this...when you get home and actually have your OWN toilet & shower...and you can let the hot water run...and don't have to worry about the time running out! (do they even do it like that anymore?)
ReplyDeletelove the exploding doritos! not quite as messy as the mustard...BUT the sharp edges on those chips...better wear safety glasses when you pop that bag open! :)
Yes! It's only happened once, but there was a place in California where you had to buy tokens and the water was set to a timer. Six minutes per token. You can get a lot done in 6 minutes!
Deletei thought so...ages ago...when i drove from NY to CA and then CA to FL...so long ago...i think we saw dinosaurs along the way...i remember the water running out before i finished rinsing. maybe back then it was more like 3 minutes for a quarter!! :)
DeleteAh yes, high altitude can do a number on a lot of pre-packaged stuff....I won't mention any other numbrers, especially after the shower incident - maybe the perpetrator had also been exposed to "high" altitude and burst his seams....we'd SO like a logical reason for such crudity, right?
ReplyDeleteEww. Just ewww. I guess he could have just been in a burrito eating contest and had an accident, but for the love of all that is holy, people should clean up their own mess.
DeleteI feel so bad for the person who found it and had to clean it up. It wouldn't be a good way to start the day!
