Does anyone else hate using porta potties?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 67/100. multinational37 (334) 2 years ago

Yuck! I really had to pee today and I was at a soccer field and the only bathroom around was a light green poorly-ventilated portable toilet. Since I really needed to go I walked in, and there was poo on the floor, on the walls and even (you guessed it) in the crapper itself.

I was so grossed out. This was not what I had bargained for. I just wanted to take a leak, but what I saw scarred me for the rest of the day. Not only was there literally sh*t everywhere, but it smelled so bad that it was impossible to breathe.

Does anyone else intensely dislike using portable potties? Any porta pottie-related horror stories? Tell 'em here! I'd like to hear them!

Porta Potties, I dont think I have ever used on.
A porta potty is one of those free standing cubicle things, isnt it?
No I have never used on but I did hear about some 300lb dame who got into one that had to be cut out by the fire service
I think she got wedged in doing a poo but cant confirm that.

I avoid them as much as possible, some people are just plain nasty and gross, they smell awful and often are not tended to for days. Once my hubby went in one he had to go bad, he said it was pretty full but he lowered his hinny and did his thing and got splashed on the rear end. A couple days later he had a ring worm on his butt. pretty sure it came from the porta potty so he avoids like the plaque too.

I hate porty potties but I guess if you have to go you have to go. I remember going into them when I was younger and being afraid of falling into them. I hate the small of them and always hold my breathe going in. I try to avoid them as much as possible but sometimes you cant. I remember one time my sisters friend dropped her doll or stuff animal in the bowl closing the lid.

Yes, I absolutely hate using those things. And I will not use them unless it is an absolute emergency. Even then, I just grit my teeth and try and take care of business as quickly as I can and hope that I survive getting in and getting out without too much mental trauma. Some of those things are not kept up really well and stink like you would not imagine.

Even the one's that are the cleanest(if you can call it that) are not that fun to use. I remember when we were redoing the bathroom a couple of years ago, so we had to rent one to keep outside. By the end of the week, it was a disgusting smell and it was one of the cleanest porta-potties that I have ever used. I can only imagine how it would be like if it lived up to the "standards" of what I had used in the past. That was the longest week of my life.

I hate porta potties and its really hard to navagate around in them. Not only that but you have to step into them, and for me that's not easy. Porta potties lack proper or any type of support bar which doesn't help me any at all. I also don't like the idea of my explosed flesh sitting on hard wood while that crapper sits there and to think all that crap goes down a whole dug in the ground or something..... u ugh...

horrier stories I don't have unless you want to hear about all the times I nearly broke bones in them. They were spacious alright, but.... no suport what-so-ever and mind you I'm crippled.
