Unclear On The Concept (warning: involved Kink in the ladies room)

You think that's gross, I take it you've never used a porto let. They are pretty gross, but at least you don't usually get a surprise while you're in there. It is what it is.

I've heard of porcupines in 'em...

I regret to say that I have on a few occasions....the last time, I almost thought that a bladder infection would be better than going in there. Instead I just took a deep breath and held it until I got out.

They're barely one step above tankless water heaters.... >_<

^-.-^

What's wrong with tankless water heaters? I don't have one but I've thought they were a good idea.

It's less gross that getting a ecoli enema splashed all over your ass while you're sitting there.

Yes, yes, and yes.

I hate auto-flush toilets. They never fail to go off while my ass is still on the seat.

And then I go to wash my hands with the auto-taps, do you think I can get one drop of fucking water? No. I'm standing there waving my hands around like a coked-up monkey, and nothing.

We have one at the workplace. If you want hot water, you get to stand there with the water running for five to ten minutes or hope someone did that before you so you don't have to.

I'm always afraid when I go to wash my hands that it'll still be ice cold, which is what we got the entire summer.

Odd...I thought the point was to have instant hot water and no running out of said hot water.

I swear it must be just me, but I have a tendency to get "splash-back" in those things. I HATE them!

Tankless water heaters are advertised to have endless instant hot water, but that is FAR from the truth! A friend of ours has one in his ranch pavilion kitchen. The water is either ice cold or blisteringly hot, usually the former. Andara nailed it with the above description.

It is gross when people don't flush, but the automatic toilets get broken, too. And recently some nitwit decided to rip the 'out of order' sign off one of the stall doors and fill the commode with paper towels. Not toilet paper, but the rough, thick, hand drying towels from the Volde-Mart bathroom. Nice. And goodness yes, the mess on the seat. Sometimes it looks like someone exploded water balloons all over the place!

I think I hate the sinks worse though. Wave hands, wave hands, wave hands, nothing. Give up and pull hands away, about to try another faucet, water comes pouring out. Rush to place hands under water, and it stops Nevermind the piddly little trickle that comes out pee-warm in the summer and freezing in winter and takes forever for you to wash your hands properly.

Apparently our tankless hot water system at Pennsic works better than the showers in some people's houses.

It does not run out of hot water until we run out of propane. And we make sure we NEVER run out of propane.

You don't even have to wait. You open the water valve and then turn the dial. Hot water.

Sweet.

And backsplash in a porto-john? VILE. Only way I can imagine that could even happen would be if they SERIOUSLY needed to service them. Unless I'm forgetting about the tiny little "purse holder" many of them have.

Yuck.
