Piss On It!

When you have to go, you have to go. It is not nice to keep Mother Nature waiting. Some truck drivers keep empty water and pop bottles in their cabs to use in emergency situations. It is better than getting out on the side of the road and pretending like you are checking your tires while releiving yourself. Rest areas and exits where you can find a place to go are not always readily available when you are driving a big rig truck. You cannot just park them any where.

Disposing of the filled bottles is somewhat questionable. Some truck drivers just throw them into the trash cans along with the rest of their waste when they stop at rest areas and fuel stops. Some drivers just pour the content of the bottles out and reuse the bottles over and over again. Others just leave the bottles roll around in their cabs to land wherever they may, not worrying about whether or not they step on them and burst them.

One individual that I know actually bought and uses the hospital type urine bottles and puts RV deodorant/treatment into them to keep the smell down. When the bottles get full, they get dumped into the restroom commode or urinal where you are supposed to make that type of deposit. A rest area attendant saw this individual emptying the bottles in the rest room one time and said that he really appreciated the fact this person did this rather than throwing pop bottles full of urine into the trash cans for him to have to deal with.

One of the things that truckers do that annoys me is they are too lazy to go to the rest room in the truck stops at night so they just get outside of their rigs and urinate on the blacktop. Now this makes for some stinchy smells in the summer time on that blacktop.
