I opened the door and screamed " MOTHERFUCKERS! CLEAN UP YOUR PISS!" last year when I entered a potty.

I think I'll bring a marker and put a nice message at "eye level" for those assholes who decide to soil our shitters.

Do it. JotS has already approved Sharpies for self-expression. They love our graffiti - it's the most intelligent and interesting they ever get to read. And since you're improving their lives by your expression, they like this even better.
Thank you!

Yeah, I'll bring some sharpies along to help bring wisdom to the walls of the commode. I was once enlightened by such wise words ("USE THE URINAL FOR PISSING ASSHOLE!") and I hope I can help others equally.

Wish I could write on the walls of the stalls here at the office. Not only are there urinals you can opt to use, people don't even lift the seat (you can even use your freaking shoe toe if you are THAT much of a phobe). Sad and disgusting and lazy.

Also, side note, in my experience cleaning bathrooms due to my prior jobs at places... I've come to discover that WOMEN are 10 times worse than men when it comes to seriously jacking up a bathroom. I'm talking every day I worked in my teens (grocery store) I'd find fluids and solids of all colors and variety on the floor, sometimes walls, always on/under the seat in the woman's bathroom. Toilets would be stopped up due to tampons and giant wads of TP, even had one (admittedly elderly and probably not very sane) lady who we KNEW was going to be a wall sprayer whenever we saw her, due to past experience cleaning after her. We finally decided she must be more flexible than she looks and must practice her diving forms (jackknife) when she expels the demons.

The men's generally had some pee on the seat/floor and that's about it. Now, these experiences were a good 15 years ago or more, but that's what i learned.

Final side note, to whomever decided to tile the floor in our office bathroom... Why would you use SHINY and REFLECTIVE tiles everywhere? What a stupid idea.

Hmm so sharpies are cool? How about stickers?

BTW, if you're that afraid of germs, bring some freaking lysol and clean off the seat before you plant your ass. :)

as far as i can tell sharpies are OK because they can sand/grind off the messages post event very easily

stickers... probably not.

Isn't it funny, every sex ed class you go to they tell you you can't get a disease from a toilet seat or a door knob, yet everybody hovers and that makes it worse. How fucked up does one have to be to miss a urinal; guys... if you can't hit the urinal then sit on the toilet like a chic does. Both bike weeks in Daytona have massive amounts of port-a-potties, but they allow tenders and they make tips....and lots of tips at that. With the "gifting" spirit at BM I don't imagine any tenders will be stepping up any time soon.
One can only imagine the horror of a hoverer who steps into one of these to throw up.

Please clarify.

I hung a string of 20 "Simply Orange" jugs on the sany post at 5&H, and they were gone in an hour.

I found that peeing in a jug in camp, makes people a little more careful where they are "spraying" ,and when dumping the jugs every mourning at the portos, were less careless about getting ALL the pee in the urinal!

YAY for pee jugs!!! 8)

I tried to do my part by posting notices to would-be hoverers in the porta potties I graced the presence of including a visual depiction of what a hoverer looked like, if the reader was unfamiliar with the term. Hopefully it helped at least somewhat.

Was anyone else fairly impressed with the jots this year? I felt they stayed much cleaner than they usually do.

The jots were almost perfect this year. We stayed on a street that the jots were on and a soon as we saw the the trucks drive by, we walked over to the spottless cans and did our biz.

The potties were extraordinary this year. Yes, we have a ways to go, but we are consistently improving. I believe that my diatribe about the excrementally correct way to hover helped a lot.

In addition to posting the poems, maybe we should post pics of happy burners in the pots with asses firmly planted! I'd model!
