Porta-Potties

[I-57/Route 66 Fan]

My favorite type of public bathroom, what is your opinion?

[Roadgeekteen]

As a kid they were one of my biggest fears (along with dandelions for some reason). Now I'm completely fine with them.

Golf tournaments make heavy use of them.

At the tournament in Fort Worth last weekend, the air temperature was in the 90s every day.  If they aren't in the shade, the temperature inside feels quite a bit higher.  It's an incentive to execute your duty quickly and get out.

The ones at golf tournaments are serviced each night.  In the morning you go in, see that there are still drops of water on the walls from being hosed out, and it's a pleasant enough experience.  The ones at places like construction sites that get a weekly service, ummm, that's another matter.

I don't know whether to be surprised or unsurprised that this forum apparently went 17 years without a port-a-potties thread.

The porta potties in construction zones near my house certainly come in handy on long distance runs during the summer.  Downing 100-140oz of water in a short period of time usually required a pit stop around the two hour mark. 

In the realm of normal people events and venues I find porta potties to be the optimal option.  They often have the shortest lines by far and generally are about as clean as dedicated public restrooms.  The Pismo Beach Car Show last week had dozens of people lining up for the regular restrooms whereas the porta potties didn't even have a line. 

Of course if we are talking about being outside of a developed area the real option for a whizz is just finding a bush.  Even a deuce can be handled if you carry supplies with you in a car or while hiking.

Remember to put the lid down when you're done. That way the stink goes out into the world through the ventilation pipe rather than staying confined within the pooing container.

People always forget with porta potties and vault toilets.

I don't like public restrooms in general, and port-a-potties are a last resort.

When I was growing up, nobody called them "porta-potties" or "porta-johns" or the like. Everyone called them "Don's Johns" because a company of that name was the leading vendor of such products in the DC area, with Jiffy John a distant second. So, for example, "There's a Don's Johns over there."

That name provided some entertainment in January 2017 when that company leased a lot of them for use at Trump's first inauguration and people not from the DC area assumed he owned a chemical toilet company (apparently forgetting he always uses his last name on business ventures).

I don't know I would say any variation of a public restroom is a "favorite of mine."  I can see the angle through how porta potties have the advantages which might make them preferable.

Are we talking about clinching individual porta potties or banks of them?

Golf tournaments make heavy use of them.

I assume they're used to line a section of green which people need to putt past, after which, all the people in costumes in the porta-potties will exit simultaneously as the golfer is running past, knocking them into the water if they're not yet past (incurring a stroke penalty).

The fact that this is not a Tim/Bandit thread is astounding.

Porta-potty bunker blasting?

Had you not said that, I would've said "Bandit, is that you?".

My favorite type of public bathroom is a Buc-ee's restroom.

In Nevada, your best choice is the ones inside casinos.  They're invariably spotless and often feel palatial.  I'd guess that's true at most tribal casinos around the country as well.

Now you've jinxed us!  I expect to see such a thread any day now ...

Depends on how anal-retentive you are.

Not necessarily.  Having to pee a lot would yield way more stops at the restroom.  Vomiting is a wildcard that needs consideration.  Other people might just be out to add porta potty clinching stats for love of the game.

Pun intended?
