    Think of it this way: Nobody wants to use the gas station bathroom, this means that the worst cases of explosive diarrhea are necessary for usage, rendering it even dirtier

    Once when I was a kid I drank a 2 liter bottle of coke on a road trip and was busting to pee. Like a Linux user wanting say they use arch. We finally stopped at a gas station and I let er rip. Felt so relieved, felt human again. Started walking back to the car, the color left my face and my lips started tingling because they were so dry, realized there was a second piss tsunami aftershock forming. So I ran back to the the bathroom. But the thing is, my mum saw me walking back to the car after my de’piss’ot. Then when she looked up again I was gone. She thought someone stole me.

    And that’s when I learned how much my mum loved me. Enough to hug and kiss me crying in a gas station parking lot but not enough to say ‘you probably shouldn’t drink 2 liters of coke straight from the bottle’

    As someone who worked at a gas station for many years, I definitely don’t miss this. For some reason the Women’s room was always consistently bad (I assume because they all hovered) while the Men’s room was relatively easy to clean.

    But every week or so there was something like the image in the Men’s room that made me regret being born. I’m sure there’s a lesson in there about outliers messing up the average or something.

      As a man who recently took a long road trip, I don’t believe you. The men’s room floor is always coated in piss.

        Yeah, but that’s an easy clean. Spray the floor, let it sit for a bit, mop it at the end of the day. Shit spackled across vertical surfaces is a more involved process, especially if they have little shelves and curved areas.

    I once saw a trucker stick his ass out of his truck in the parking lot of a gas station and let loose right then and there. Must’ve been the roller dogs, you just rent them things.
