Nites Of De Rod

1. Gord makes a good point. I worked for a company that had eight warehouses across the U.S. They had exterior port-a-johns for the truckers as some, shall we say, “element” would just p*** and s*** all over the inside bathrooms. Totally inconsiderate to the warehouse workers, but especially the cleaning crew.

   …..and then there were the IT vermin from the subcontinent at our HQ who also pulled the same stunts.

   1. It’s “only” about 11% / 150 million of them in India who do this, but it’s not at all restricted to people from the subcontinent.

      1. There’s a big difference between “I live in a sub-Saharan African literal shithole with no infrastructure whatsoever” and “there are perfectly serviceable facilities available, I just refuse to use them because I think shitting in the open air is good for your health”.

         1. Prior to modern day plumbing being invented, settlers would dig a hole, then build an enclosed space where they could go #1 or #2 in peace, then next year when it was filled up they’d move it a few feet away, then they’d plant Saskatoons near that row…
            Maybe they don’t have Saskatoons/Serviceberries over there, so there’s no reason to build the infrastructure of 1880-1940’s prairie small towns. Maybe they don’t have shovels over there. Do those various peoples have fingernails?

            I saw the movie, “The Stoning of Soraya M” and though it took place in Iran, certainly some of the neighbors would have access to a shovel?

         2. But, but, but (sorry) … SCIENCE! teaches us that squatting is the preferred … natural … way to evacuate your bowels.

            And in a related story … women should drop their babies out in the same fashion. You white people are so oppressed. The ‘knowledge keepers’ among your own indigenous peoples would have corrected you … if you weren’t so … so … colonial.

            1. Kenji, I’m tempted to say, “you don’t know squat!”, but it seems inappropriate in the circumstances. Indeed, you may know it too well.

            2. 🙂

2. Well, you can’t just drag a piece of sandy beach around with you, you know …

   1. Lol

3. I contracted for one of the many Canadian oil and gas companies that went bankrupt due to the combined actions of far-left governments, and that were later purchased by the Chinese. Aside from the immediate and intentional illegal acts they began committing (such as not paying field contractors and other assorted vendors, royalty owners, municipalities, etc.) and breathtakingly ignorant decisions they made, the men’s bathrooms began requiring maintenance.

   Daily.

   As in every-single-day.

   Eventually signs had to be put up telling everyone not to flush hand towels down the toilet.

   It would have only been necessary to tell that to the handful of Chinese executives who had recently taken the corner offices, but it would also have been politically incorrect.

4. I saw a Youtube vid back in the teens interviewing a U.S. Marine Colonel whose job was to train Afghan Special Forces troops and the Colonel said that his crowning achievement was training them to use latrines.
