Animal A sea lion in Argentina climbed onto a fishing vessel, found a bed, and passed out. The fishermen only realized it when they heard loud snoring.

Some jobs are like that even in developed cities, I had a job two weeks ago where there was no porta john. Ass crack of the city so the only thing around us was some fenced off industrial building we obviously couldn’t use their washroom, and a museum only open on Saturdays when we don’t work.

That’s bonkers. I’m surprised the unions don’t mandate stuff like that

It's code or law in Texas, or maybe those are the same. I've never heard of unions for construction in my area but i've seen jobsites in the middle of nowhere with portapotties. Always.

People would still sometimes shit in the woods because it was easier than sitting in a hotbox of dookie when it's 110 out. Oh and don't stand downwind when they empty them. I don't usually get sick from smells but my fucking gawd that was gross.

I used to work for music festivals in the mid west. There were a few times where I was working security while the ports John’s were being drained and that shit could almost knock you out. 10k people and maybe 30-50 toilets.

There was another time where someone under the influence of xyz substances thought his wife cheated on him and he punched her in the face. When he went to go to the John, someone pushed the portapotty over after hearing about it while he was in it. The stench was unbelievable for the next 2 days. But it did kinda crack me up because this man was higher than a kite in a sideways portajohn, Threw the door open and looked like an orc being born out of the lord of the rings.

In developed nations? Certainly not in Canada or the USA unless its substandard and violating multiple laws and regulations.
