Someone please help me understand why someone would whiz in a plastic jug. Because the glass ones are getting harder to find?

There are three jugs in Utal and three jugs in Oregon. Is there something about Mormons and hippies that result in more jugs?

"The best way to drive long distances is to drink a lot of water. Your efforts to "hold it in," so to speak, will require so much focus and energy that you will never fall asleep at the wheel."
Not if you're a 58-year-old guy. But that reminds me of an incident. Once a year, I go to a wholesale show. It's exactly 600 miles from my house, and takes 11 hours to drive it...if you go non-stop.
I used to avoid drinking any fluids on that trip, just to cut down on stops. Also skipped meals, to save time.
Well, one time, I got to my destination (out in the desert), checked into my motel, then hit the bar for a drink before I ate.
Bingo, I woke up on the floor. I had fainted, of all things. I was dehydrated and a bit low on blood sugar, I guess, and that double Jameson just was a little too much for my ancient self.
Once I explained what happened to the nice Fire Department paramedics, they left me alone. I drank a huge glass of lemonade at the bar, sitting on a low chair, and was fine.
Now, I take 12 hours to get there. I drink a couple of quarts of water on the trip and eat twice on the way. No problems.

Ummm, look for signs that say:

Great idea.
Trap doors in the floorboard for the driver on the go?
To: MineralMan
Yes, but couldn't they just pour it out on the ground instead of leaving a full jug?

Hey, I'm not making excuses for this. I was just answering someone's question about who does this stuff. I'm against it. Someone asked why someone else would pee in a bottle. I was explaining.

"They're mostly found on interchanges near rest areas. Why can't they stop there?" Because going in the woods is far preferable to going in one of the disgustingly filthy rest stop bathrooms. Not to mention the fags that patrol the rest stops near the urban centers. Clean up the rest areas and maybe they'll start getting used for something other than a place to get a quickie in the men's room with Bruce and his boyfriends.

Someone please help me understand why someone would whiz in a plastic jug. If you think thats odd, the history of such practices is even more bizarre! Subway motorman in New York City in the early 1900s worked very long hours without a break and routinely wore a device called the motormans friend. It was a rubber urinal strapped to the lower leg inside the pants with a hose running up the pant leg ending in a funnel at the male member. Comparatively speaking, a detached plastic jug is downright civilized!

"People are getting more out of control." Too much traffic, too much long-distance traffic, too few rest stops. Our bodies are so darned inconvenient some of the time.

Not 'til I'm in my 70's, at least. I can hold it OK, but I tend to need to go every couple of hours, it seems. Always did have a small bladder. But, hey, thanks for the suggestion, eh?

I was not so much concerned about highway workers being spared the onerous chores; I think we would all agree that we would prefer not to have such goodies strewn at the roadside to remain until highway workers can gather them like posies.

In Massachusetts, from what I hear, they're likely to be homosexual hunting grounds. It's a fact. See my #51.
