Poll: Where would you go?

Post by Johnny Carwash »

Spinning off from the discussion in the Learn Something New thread. In which of the above places would you do your business (No. 2), assuming it's not an exceptional emergency? Select all that apply.

I'll go anywhere any time. Isn't that what a bathroom is for? That said, if I know I'm going to be home in 10 or 15 minutes or something like that I'll hold it. I'm sure as hell not holding it for an hour if I'm at a friend's house or a restaurant and I have to take a shit.

Sure, that's what I'm saying. Basically I'll hold it for a half hour or something like that if I'm on my way home, but if I have to go I'm pretty much going as long as the restroom isn't disgusting.

For the record, when you're in a downtown area the absolute best spot to go is a hotel.

If you're ever in Portland you can just stroll through the Paramount Hotel lobby and take the elevator down one floor for pretty much your own private suite.

Yeah, but, pro tip - that only works if you don't look like a homeless person.

Assuming non-emergency, I voted for all except acquaintance and WalMart floor. I'll leave that to the Kentuckians among us.

I think there are only three places where I would do everything in my power to not go. I'll count "Penn Station" under parks/subways/etc, but "airplane" and "sporting event" should be there. Haven't broken either barrier.

Add live music show. In fact, that's probably the worst after sporting event.

(Union Station in Denver isn't bad though. Very nice restrooms, but a lot of foot traffic.)

Oooo, that's a good one. High variance, there are some shows I've been at where I'd happily shit and some that are multiples worse than MSG during a Rangers game.

Damn, I should have put sporting event/concert as one of the options. I think if I updated it now, it would wipe (heh) the results so far, though.

Any place, any time.

I have shit in the middle of corn fields, side of roads, houses of people I have just met or don't even know, concerts, and countless other locations.

The lobby bathroom at the downtown Hampton Inn in Buffalo is A+. It was like a damn suite. However, you'd have to ask for a key.

Whenever I'm out and need to make a quick stop, I'll try to find a Walmart.

After living on an airfield for over a month in Haiti after an earthquake with only port-a-potties, there's no shame. I'll go wherever.

I probably won't go in a dive bar's bathroom because the constant revolving amount of people non-stop means I'll be horribly interrupted by drunkards. Not because of what I'll hover over.

But I try not to go in public because it would be rude to everyone else. Pretty sure I have IBS. I can't eat garlic anymore without a bathroom nearby.

Over the road sales guy for going on 7ish years now. I shit when and where I need to, assuming it's not illegal. Too many close calls passing by a gas station to not see another thing in Northern Michigan for another 40 miles and nearly exploding. Offload early and often.

Nothing could possibly be worse than shitting at The Great Went, a 3-day Phish Festival with 75,000 people, an overwhelming majority of whom shunned basic hygiene and health norms. They were severely lacking in quantity of porta potties, and this was outdoors in August. I made a smart decision to shit as early on the first day as I could, and fortunately the black tar opium and shrooms kept me bound up for days after the event ended. One friend we went with refused to use the porta pots, and tried to hold it for 3 days. His bowels gave out, and he decided to shit next to another friend's car. Everyone parked on an enormous grass field, and placed tents next to their cars. He was completely exposed, and it took forever for him to squeeze out 2 days worth compacted in the most ungodly log. It looked like a Fosters beer Oil can, those giant, fat 25 ouncers. That is one time I wish we had camera phones back in the day.
