Karen's Mermaid (1-6)

I'm bored, it's late, and I'm rereading this book over again. There isn't anything particularly snarky in it, but I'm in the mood for snark, so I'll see how much good the Snark Goggles do for this book.And really, Margo is an annoying little so-and-so so that alone should be enough for some good snark.

This particular Karen book holds a special ( Read more... )

I'd have found a spot behind a dumpster or squatted in a corner (who'd notice?) than even go near a toilet in a place like that.

I've been in bathrooms like that before and I just don't GET how they get so disgusting. WTF.

That is like the story my friend told us after she went to the bathroom during our pee break of one of our 3 hour classes. Except that was in a college, not a horror movie rest stop. The people who do that to public restrooms are not only doing so in truck stops but also in institutes of higher learning. WE ARE NOT SAFE, PEOPLE!

Agreed with you on that count.

College dorm bathrooms are NASTY, and the one I was assigned to freshman year fell into a particularly bad state of disarray on Saturday and Sunday mornings. They were shut down on a nearly weekly basis because some drunk girl (probably the same one) took a dump in the shower stall, and we all had to share with the girls downstairs. I felt so bad for the maintenance person who had to clean them. I'm so glad I transferred to another hall that following semester.

My husband works construction and he refuses to use the port-a-potties for this *exact* reason.
He said what makes it worse is that he knows the people who do this kind of shit (pun not intended) and it's not like it's one or two random really gross people - it's regular people who go home to their families after doing all that.
He doesn't get at all (and doesn't do it), but it's just... WHY?! Port-a-potties are already kind of gross when people are good about using them --- why make it worse?!

Incidentally on my family travels, my grandparents would only every pull over to restareas or if you had to go bad enough, they always had a roll of TP in the back so you could go in a wooded area. (I always held it rather then do that, but they were very clear the option was always there.
