Dear truckers, please read

I’m a truck stop worker, and I promise this is not a troll post or anything like that. I’m honestly at my wits end with this.
I understand that everyone has to go when they need to, whether that’s using a bathroom or a cup in your truck. But please, I’m asking with all of my being, stop throwing it away in the regular outdoor trash cans.
It’s very heavy, and the bags end up popping because of it. As a young woman, I really do not enjoy being splashed with strangers waste. That includes number two. It’s never just a little bit, it’s always at least a few days worth.
Please just throw it in the dumpster. I assure you, you will not get in trouble for putting it there.
This is a genuine plea. I really can’t take it anymore.

A def jug works good as well for guys
NFLTG_71@reddit
I would be more than happy to throw away trash, garbage, even human waste in the dumpster. The problem is most truck stops. I go to they lock the gate around their dumpster. You can’t get to it.
PrettyPinkJ@reddit (OP)
The one at mine is right by the parking spots and isn’t locked
NFLTG_71@reddit
Where is yours located at?
PrettyPinkJ@reddit (OP)
Yeahhhhhhh I’m not saying where I work on the internet
KnightGunther@reddit
Yeah that is probably the smartest thing.
20milliondollarapi@reddit
Yea, but that’s one out of 1000s of places. Truckers (as a whole) can’t even be bothered to find a proper restroom to use. They wouldn’t be bothered to walk the extra 50 feet to a dumpster to see if it’s locked or unlocked.
ba123blitz@reddit
I would bet very good money they could have clear signage saying it’s unlocked and to please throw liquids or heavy trash straight in the dumpster and some people would still put it in the cans cause they’re closer
NFLTG_71@reddit
I would be more than happy to throw away
Professional-Cat9500@reddit
Only Loves does that
Ill-Year-3141@reddit
Unfortunately, and I can attest to this with quite a degree of confidence, you're asking individuals to do the right thing, but 90% of them out there just don't give a shit. Look at any rest area, you'll see dozens of piss bottles scattered around.
It's an unfortunate truth, but the truth nonetheless ... the majority of truckers out there are shameless, self-centered, arrogant and uncaring assholes. They know it, the rest of us who try and do the right thing know it, and it's always been that way.
I, for one, am sorry you have to deal with crap like this (both figuratively and metaphorically)
Sad part is, you can't shame them into doing the right thing, see above.
PShubbs91@reddit
It's ridiculous. I was at a rest area in North Carolina one night and a dude had shit in a bag and threw it under his truck. Didnt even bother tying the bags or anything. Meanwhile there are restrooms at the rest area and there was a dumpster maybe 10 feet in front if his truck.
Hard-Coconut-@reddit
what an animal
UncleTrucker1123@reddit
One time at the sapp bros in Denver I was walking between trucks at night to go use the restroom myself, and I ended up stepping in someone’s shit bag that was hidden in the darkness. Got shit all on the bottom of my shoe. Thankfully I was able to easily convince one of the workers at the truck wash there to spray down my shoe, and he even went the extra mile and took the soap scrubber to it to make sure it was completely clean. Ever since then I don’t walk between trucks at night anymore and will take the long way around. At least I can say I’m getting my steps in😂
The_Schizo_Panda@reddit
Had a truck stopped by the curb of a business overnight. It's all warehouses where I work, so there's roads, curbs, grass, and parking lots. Truck parked on the main roadway and left a big black trash bag filled with Walmart bags full of human waste. Left it wide open. Just sitting on the curb in front of the business' front doors. I walked over to see if I should grab it so it didnt blow into the yard where I work, but it's filled with poop and toilet paper, so it sat there.
-slaps-username-@reddit
i used to work picking up trash in a public park, and it was right next to a truck depot. we only did it like five times a year, but every time there were piss bottles there. either thrown over the fence or through it or under it.
Actual_Handle_3@reddit
You know, mental illness is a large component of homelessness. The former vp of contractor development at my carrier told me that over 50% of the drivers in carrier run schools are homeless. That would fit with the behavior of many drivers.
GreyGhost878@reddit
I'm so sorry. I'm a lady trucker. Liquid waste gets dumped down a sewer drain or into the grass. Some truckers are so gross.
wavyyyybabyyyy@reddit
Lady trucker here, i genuinely think this is just a man thing. Women for the most part are much cleaner and more considerate and attentive. Given I’ve only used containers in rarity and instances where I’m nowhere near a truck stop. I don’t understand men lol
Horchata415@reddit
Also a lady trucker here. I always dump mine in the grass and just reuse the container:/
Autumnal_-Coffee@reddit
non-trucker, just like lurking here. The indignity that you guys can't rely on regular facilities to do your businesses is astonishingly sad to me.
Horchata415@reddit
I completely agree. Most shippers don’t offer a bathroom for us to use, and it’s common to be waiting at one for hours and hours on end. Not to mention having to rely on truck stops or rest stations when rolling over the interstate. There are some spots where there are literally hundreds of miles in between where we can stop. It ducks.
Horchata415@reddit
Ducks lol. Sucks
la_zarzamora@reddit
Pee has nitrogen in it! It's good for the grass :)
BleuTyger@reddit
What? I used to pee on the weeds outside near the garden cause I thought it'd kill them
Signal-Sign-5778@reddit
You are correct. Urinating on a plant, consistenly, will burn the plant and kill it. Too much nitrogen is just as bad as too little. Watch where a dog pees on a lawn. The center of the spot will be brown and dead, the edges of the circle, bright green and thriving.
BleuTyger@reddit
Ah, cool. I'm glad it was maybe working in my favor lol
DRFANTA@reddit
You only made the STRONGER!!!!
BleuTyger@reddit
Damn and blast. Made my pulling efforts worse
Horus_Whistler@reddit
Male trucker here, I keep reusing the same Core water bottle for a week before I dump out in the grass and replace with a new water bottle
DellTheEngie@reddit
These are my go to as well.
shadowmib@reddit
Same here
GreyGhost878@reddit
Same. I use a small pail with lid and I line it with a plastic ziplock bag. I rinse it out daily but after a few days I throw out the liner bag (empty of course) when it starts to smell.
dz1n3@reddit
As a non lady trucker, just drink it. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
William-Burroughs420@reddit
Drinking your own urine has myriad health benefits!
LiketySpite@reddit
For the dudes, the wide bottom laundry detergent bottles work awesome. Wide opening, doesn't stink, isn't clear plastic so its discreet. Dump the liquid in a secluded spot when you need to. Plus recycling cant be that bad!
GreyGhost878@reddit
That's what my bf uses! He carries it right into the building to dump it in a toilet and no one thinks anything of it since it just looks like he's going to do laundry.
Ok_Bug_6470@reddit
I think it’s a lot grosser doing what you’re doing btw.
GreyGhost878@reddit
Please explain how pouring out a bottle of pee into a sewer drain (where all the urine ON the pavement flows) or into the grass 10 feet behind my trailer along a fence (where everyone's dog pees) is gross.
Ok_Bug_6470@reddit
Bc you’re handling piss in a no piss situation and other peoples piss or poo is nasty. I don’t wanna see anyone doing it and I do it.Maybe you do it properly but the other 4 dentists won’t and will bust out their waste material anywhere and anytime. Bottle, cap, in the trash, done. It’ll degrade in the landfill and the water will be released.
GreyGhost878@reddit
I agree completely that pee and poo is gross. That's exactly why I dump my little pee pail when no one is watching, preferably in the dark. My method of managing my waste disturbs nobody. I think it's gross and disrespectful to truck stop employees to toss a full bottle in the trash. Liquid is heavy and those caps can come loose and spill out. When I dump it in the ground it is gone and no one has to look at it or smell it ever again. That's being responsible and respectful of others.
PlastomaGaming@reddit
Rage bait or troll? Lmao grow up buddy because not everyone gets roads with truck stops every 10 miles. My basic route has me driving two hours and thirty minutes before the next truck stop and the only real stop is an off ramp just before the last 40 minute stretch.
Ok_Bug_6470@reddit
Nothing wrong w that. You obviously haven’t been around for the pee and poo Olympics at all the se truckstops up til about five or six months back
Whend6796@reddit
This leaves dead spots all over the grass, and frankly is just disgusting. What is wrong with you people that you think this is okay?
For Christ’s sake just stop and use the restroom. The 4 wheelers have seemed to figure it out.
GreyGhost878@reddit
Get over it. There's nothing wrong with peeing in the grass. Same grass people walk their dogs on. Better there than on the pavement where it will be smelled all summer. I walk to the restroom 98% of the time but sometimes it's not possible.
Wu-Tang_Panda@reddit
I mean until a state trooper sees you and writes you a nice ticket
GreyGhost878@reddit
For dumping a bottle on the grass in a truck stop? Y'all have some imaginations.
StolenRage@reddit
That four wheeler doesn't usually face the time constraints or loss of income that come with this job. Most drivers get paid by the mile. Then there is the fact those four wheelers can pull off most exits and find a restroom with ease. Gas stations, grocery stores, Walmarts and Targets and the like. These are all easily accessible, and designed for this sized traffic. Truck drivers can be stuck going a hundred miles or more between stops that are accessible for trucks.
It isn't so easy to "just figure it out"
BigD93klover@reddit
She is si.ply asking you to put your shit and piss containers in the dumpster, NOT THE TRASHCAN.
PShubbs91@reddit
Yeah 1 of 3 things is happening here. Either this is ragebait, your not a trucker, or you have some cushy local driving gig where you're always near a bathroom. When you're driving a truck with a 53 foot trailer you don't get to just stop anywhere to run in and use the bathroom.
Whend6796@reddit
Maybe I have a super bladder. I keep one for emergencies. Which happen. But normally I can find a truck stop. And I can go full pit stop in 5 minutes.
PShubbs91@reddit
Then you've clearly never driven in Colorado or Utah or anywhere like that. Been in Utah the past few days. Out here you can and will go 100+ miles without there being anywhere to stop at to use a bathroom. When you do find a place out here to stop, good luck finding any open spots. Especially if you're hauling an oversized load like I was.
Tru3insanity@reddit
The 4 wheelers dont spend 5 hours at a customer with no restroom.
Azzacura@reddit
The 4 wheelers have also figured out how to park in truck spots, blocking us from being able to find safe parking for our BIG trucks.
We're not allowed to enter many small towns in my country because we'd simply wreck the infrastructure, we're not allowed to park at most stores like walmart, we're not able to park in the grass without risking needing a heavy wrecker, and there is a WORLDWIDE shortage of truck parking spots. Every single country is facing these issues.
I'm extremely lucky that I only drive local, and I can always go to the restroom at a customer, but even I have had very close encounters because you can get stuck in traffic for hours, without any big parking spots in sight, with a clock that's running out and suddenly you're risking a €4000 fine just to go pee. You can receive that fine for 52 days after committing the crime of going a few minutes over your drivetime in Europe.
Ps. The amount of 4 wheelers that I've seen pull over onto the shoulder real quick to go pee in the grass is astronomical. You guys just don't see them because they're hidden by other 4 wheelers/trucks but we can see right over everyone at those dingdongs.

Own-Opportunity4207@reddit
I never throw a bottle full bottles away. I always dumped them in the grass usually in the pet exercise area and throw the empty bottles away.
iownthesky22@reddit
Bro, no. Dumping human waste on the ground is fucking disgusting and a great way to spread disease. Dog steps in your days old shit, gets back in the car, child crawls in after them. Now the kid has your literal shit on their face. Dump it in a toliet if you have it in a bottle, for crissakes.
Gr3yThoughts@reddit
Just wanna say that your username is super cool to me for some reason. Random comment, sorry haha 😐
GreyGhost878@reddit
Thank you! It's my trucker handle that I've never used haha. I like yours too!
RackingUpTheMiles@reddit
I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only driver that doesn't use a bottle or garbage bags. I just find a rest area, truck stop or wherever I can park with an actual bathroom. Almost a year in and I have yet to do it. Even if I'm stuck at a truck stop or service plaza during a storm, I still go to the bathroom in the building.
Wonderful_Budget8172@reddit
I’ve said this tens of times here. Literally just buy a portable toilet.
SlothyTendecies@reddit
This pisses me off (heh). I'm all for calling people in and reporting them for it. It's unprofessional and absolutely disgusting. I'm sorry you have to deal with these disgusting bastards that were apparently raised in a pig pen. Not like there isn't plenty of grass or drains around to dispose of it properly. I wish we could do something about it but sadly this is one thing out of our control.
Prestigious_Cup_5265@reddit
Filthy animals. I used to work in a place and when they would put us on sanitation for the night they would send us over to the outhouse for the truckers. Which was a cesspool. You go to change the trash can and it was full of piss jugs that reeked like death. For real y'all need some real doctors bc you got some real problems. Besides you diabetes. .
NotTooGoodBitch@reddit
You need to make bright laminated signs with photos to have them take it to the dumpster. Big arrows.
greedybanker3@reddit
the people that dump full bottles of urine in the trash can are the same people that wont stop doing it. most of us dump it in the grass then throw out the empty bottles. its the same animals that poop on the floor and just... man they suck.
PrettyPinkJ@reddit (OP)
There’s been a few that actually have popped on the floor and in the bathroom trashcan 🫠 what they’re eating idk but it smells like death and misery
Successful-Error7448@reddit
I was a janitor and cleaned truckers bathroom stalls when I was younger. You can’t teach those animals new tricks, unless there’s consequences and even then, it’s an uphill battle.
Very sweet of you to use the carrot over the stick here, but I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. Sorry on behalf of those animals.
Lazy-Comment7542@reddit
Yeah... unfortunately anyone reading this that cares is already doing the right thing and dumping them in the grass or whatever before tossing the bottles in the trash or using a large dumpster at a rest area, etc. Unfortunately, some of these drivers are inconsiderate, assholes and don't have common sense, common decency or any bit of respect. Best thing you can do is, if seeing the drivers do it, ask them to dump the bottles first because it's heavy and you struggle with it, etc. Just as you did here, maybe if it's face to face, they will actually care and unfuck themselves. Also, maybe you can have a chat with your coworkers and all of you start double bagging the cans? If it seems light, just pull the inner bag and replace or if it seems a bit heavy, grab both and it'll add a bit of protection for ya.
12inchSpindle@reddit
I use an empty wiper fluid bottle for a while then toss it empty to the trash. I put it in my backpack to empty in the toilet every two days when I shower.
Vast-Yak-8713@reddit
I’m so sorry you had to go through this
Beautiful-Slice166@reddit
......ive only ever had to shit in a bag twice and both where due to being snowed in during some shit weather...who is throwing those bags in a regular trash can. Just dump it in the woods afterwards. Same with piss like huh
petit_cochon@reddit
Oh god please look into workplace safety regulations because you should not be handling human waste in that manner. And your employer should not be making or letting you. God.
MathematicianOne1278@reddit
I think she’s just being asked to “take out the trash“, which is a completely reasonable thing to ask of a truckstop employee. There shouldn’t be any reason to expect that there’s going to be shit and piss in the trash cans.
GooseyLunatic@reddit
Truckers are disgusting but if your at your wits end about it you need to find another career, that's not something that's going to ever change. Just be glad they decided to throw it in the garbage at all, can't tell you how many times I've seen jugs of piss on the cement in truck stops.
racer2k5x@reddit
I usually just dump mine out on the dot scales
InvstrJester@reddit
A few days worth . Smhlls. Just get the guys to do it and go work where truckers don’t dump trash
InvstrJester@reddit
Stop using cheap trash bags
InvstrJester@reddit
Stop waiting soo long to dump the trash
DrillTheThirdHole@reddit
unfortunately, the kind of "driver" that does this is not browsing the trucking subreddit
Correct_Writer_3410@reddit
Yeah, totally, I would never do that!
Q7017@reddit
Precisely. Same with all the dudes who hog fuel lanes and speed up when others try to pass them. They're not here.
Siom_one@reddit
Simply. I hold on to my bottles until I get to a place I can pour them out and save them for emergencies. 9/10 times I use the restroom at the loves, ta, petro, etc.
TheLazies@reddit
That's awful, I'm so sorry you have to deal with it. I've seen full cups at the top of trash bins at truck stops. Disgusting! I use a stainless steel container then dump it in the toilet at the end of the day. Some people are so lazy and considerate it's astounding.
sammmersss@reddit
Is this a shit post?
PrettyPinkJ@reddit (OP)
I promise it’s not I’m struggling over here, yesterday I picked up an entire bag of solo cups full of poo

Oh lord Jesus …. I knew piss was a thing I didn’t realize truckers were shitting in their trucks!!!!!! That’s foul af
socialcommentary2024@reddit
It's called Home Depot / Walmart Paint Buckets. They can be converted into toilets because the sad reality is you got two options, A) Sh*t your pants or B) Shit in a Trash Bag over a Bin a) Deodorize it with odor killer. Double bag. Throw it in to a public
rest area Trash Bin
C) Option 3 sh*t on the side of a hill
jimmy1421@reddit
Bro they literally make portable toilets lol, game changer for me just gotta triple bag it
Tru3insanity@reddit
Not something I like doing but sometimes you gotta go and theres nowhere to do it.
ImmortanOwl@reddit
An owner operator in Fort Stockton, TX once described to me how they spread a Walmart bag between the seats and sit with their butt spread over the opening to poop.
I don't know why he told me this, even weirder he had his son in the truck with him.
I was a little more.. advanced. I always double bagged and used a tractor supply $8 bucket and always threw away in dumpsters. (Both bags were drained of air, wrapped tight and double bagged then stored in a lid trashcan with removable bucket.)
Problem is, Love's doesn't use dumpsters, Pilot/Flying J typically locks theirs and so does QT.
Sometimes you gotta go, and some dickhead is watching ESPN in the stalls OR you're on a long haul and California has closed every rest area in the next 400 miles OR the shipper only has a porta potty, and I'm not sinking that low.
beenznchiz@reddit
Some shippers don't even have a porta potty. I've been flat out denied restroom access and as a woman just needing to pee that is a painful situation.
gearIess@reddit
a piss post
Gr3yThoughts@reddit
I mean, anything is possible but the first sentence from OP says it's not a troll post or anything like that...
sammmersss@reddit
But is it a post about shit… so my question stands….
Gr3yThoughts@reddit
After I commented to you, I did think about this with a chuckle, expecting you might say something like that in response. I suppose that this has the potential to qualify for a genuine & literal shit post I guess, as opposed to the more common usage of the term...
Anyyyyways, take care sammmersss :)
sammmersss@reddit
Take care as well Gr3yThoughts, thank you.
carlos_damgerous@reddit

The real trick for reusing bottles for waste is Hydrogen Peroxide.

TheBrahmanBull@reddit
I used to keep high capacity urinals that had extra wide openings with screw on tops I found on Amazon some years ago ,they worked great, I had no accidental spills and everything was kept clean until I was ready to dump them on the weeds at the fence line behind my truck when I parked for the night
JohnBender84@reddit
As a waste removal employee, please don't just throw it in the dumpster either. There's still some poor motherf***ker that is dealing with your sewage. I know nothing will deter the boneheads that think nothing of throwing their human waste into any ol trash receptacle, people do it in their own trash bins at home.... But it's a biohazard and moreso its absolutely disgusting. Take it to the can, it's where it belongs. Mental illness is real.

I never understood this. I get the ladies but guys... really? I'm 64. I've been driving some type of truck since 1977 and have probably into 5 million miles. I have never felt like I needed a bottle. Find a private spot.
PrettyPinkJ@reddit (OP)
There’s plenty of woods where the trucks are too, there’s been people too lazy to come inside and they just pee straight into the trashcan, i honestly do not want a golden shower at the end of my shift because the bags get holes in them
RectumRavager69@reddit
Proper etiquette is pissing in wiper fluid jugs and emptying them in the grass or down a drain, and when they do eventually get retired they get thrown away empty at the truck stop or thrown at shithead 4wheelers with the cap loosened if full (satire, mostly). As for shit, you're supposed to put cat litter in the heavy duty trash bag first and then do your business and when it's time to throw the bag away you take it out of the bucket, cinch it, squeeze the air out of it, and then put it inside another heavy duty trash bag before throwing it away.
At least then it's just heavy and stinks instead of getting shit and piss all over the poor folks that work at the truck stop.
LPhilippeB@reddit
It's something I'm wondering about since I'm considering getting training for a trucker job. So you bring a bucket, heavy duty trash bags and cat litter in case you have to do a number 2 and can't go reach a truck stop?
RectumRavager69@reddit
When you're out on your own solo yes. I would also recommend several cases of dude wipes and several rolls of paper towels as well as a bungee cord to hold the bag in place and a sealing lid for the bucket.
LPhilippeB@reddit
Thank you for the information. I would’ve never imagined that it would be part of the job.
RectumRavager69@reddit
I am literally using the bucket as I type this, while smoking a cigarette in the AC, appreciating that my hands aren't sore and I'm not in jail for what I would have liked to have done to a complete asshole yard dog earlier today. Believe it or not it's better than about 90% of truck stop bathrooms that aren't a shower.
mesablue@reddit
Bring an extra bucket for your trainer. They'll appreciate it.
Redsoxdragon@reddit
Soooooo what you're saying is that i need to leave my piss jugs, poop cans and cum jars next to the trash so you can pick them up separately? 🤔
caseylain@reddit
Sorry, I do this. I put my bottles in a actual trash bag first at least. Doesn't help with the weight tho does it? I never considered that aspect. I'll use the dumpster from now on.
HotImagination296@reddit
I don’t understand why someone poops in a bag or a cup in the cabin. There are plenty of rest areas and truck stops with restrooms.
One of the most annoying things was seeing bottles full of brown piss thrown away over highway ramps, in the bushes or over green grass.
Like how hard is it to discard your piss or poop on the ground somewhere further so it gets composed naturally over time.
COATHANGER_ABORTIONS@reddit
Look, if you're gonna use a bottle, don't fill it up all the way, and squeeze it so it's not a ticking time bomb the second a little pressure builds up.
Or just fucking throw them in the dumpster, lmao.
CaptainGibbs96@reddit
I promise I won't throw them out but I can not promise to not use this information to make piss grenades for the four wheelers that cut me off
John-AtWork@reddit
What gets me even more is when people just throw the bottles on the side of the road.

Redbeard6665@reddit
As a driver myself I don’t much like people that do that either. Those driver tend to be the same one that just throw trash out on sides of the road where they park etc. It’s the reason a lot of places don’t allow truck parking anymore. I’m sorry you have to deal with that and I’m great full for y’all because you’re the reason we have clean restrooms and showers as well.
kidkief@reddit
The fact that someone would defecate in a bag is diabolical, I'm sorry that this is a regular occurrence. As a trucker I regularly use bottles when I'm not near a restroom and try to spread the garbage I have over multiple can just cause I know and have seen how full the can get. I know that doesn't help but just know that some of us do think about others
TurtleKing2024@reddit
I'll be honest it's why I don't throw bottles away at truck stops unless they're empty usually I'm driving out in the middle of nowhere pull off for a second dump everything out go on my way and throw the bottles away later
AccomplishedLimit3@reddit
make it a rule, post signs, shame the violators into compliance
fluffernutterdnd@reddit
That sucks and I'm sorry. Unfortunately not enough people who would change will see this. One thing that might help is to make sure you are double or even triple bagging those garbage cans. As a trucker who used to be a station employee that's the best advice I can give.

Professional-Cat9500@reddit
Never in the trash cans, always in the dumpsters, and I always did my best to choose dumpsters that were away from the building out in the back of the parking lot so it wasn’t one that employees were walking up to all the time to throw away trash. It’s not hard to be considerate.
HipsterNgariman@reddit
I mean, that's an extremely valid concern. I'm just afraid that the people doing this aren't self-conscious enough that somebody else has to then take their trash out, or that they will not feel concerned by a reddit thread. And it's not like you can put a little sign "Please leave your stools in the dumpster" that might not look so good for business ?
Radiant_Swan187@reddit
Correct. Its like when someone watches a person runs a stop sign and ask "who taught them to drive" it's not that they dont know it wrong. They dont care. Plain
yeah-no-yeah-no@reddit
The trucking industry really needs to address the issue that drivers have to piss and poo in their trucks, all day everyday. Why can’t they make trucks with some half ass bathroom accommodations. They do in RVs and super tiny RVs and truck campers. Why is this a problem that’s been fixed?!!
jim_jones1931@reddit

Ajax_Stormwing@reddit
Dumpsters are absolutely my preferred drop point, but Love's doesn't run an exposed dumpster. So, I use the bagless trash cans. I'm sorry about the assholes, though.

I didn’t even think about who would be changing the trash. I’m so sorry. I am guilty of throwing away Sheetz coffee cups of urine. This post def made me think twice about it though. I’m sorry about that…. :/

I think the headline should read "dear truckers, thank you for actually using the trashcan".

I cant even read :( Jokes aside, as a local fuel hauler I dont even visit big truck stops.
Some of yall are fucking nasty. Sorry you gotta deal with that, some of us have standards, some of us.

Wasn't this a Celina post? The satire truck stop?

You should petition to have those banker air tubes installed at the fuel island. Then we can shoot all the "Gatorade" straight to the dumpster.
Or make waders a part of your uniform.

I always stack my piss bottles up in a trash bag and toss it in a dumpster at my OC at the end of the week. I also like to just dump my body armor bottles in the grass whenever I can to alleviate the weight of the bag. Sorry a lot of us aren’t as considerate.

Soooooo what you're saying is that i need to leave my piss jugs, poop cans and cum jars next to the trash so you can pick them up separately? 🤔
