Big debate going with some of my co-workers. When on the road and nature calls, most prefer gatorade bottles, some say snapple bottles, because of their smaller neck opening, we even got one guy who uses his thermos, with a seal tight cap, due to spillage concerns. What do you pro's use? Need some good advice.

Two liter Pepsi bottle (the one with the 1.5 inch opening and tapered sides) worked well for me in the old days. Now days, an empty soda would probably suffice. :rolleyes:

I hold it until my eyes turn yellow,... Next question is on a roof, do you go by the condensate trap or by the economiser OA hood? Have you ever been pissing and have the customer pop up through the roof hatch?

I like the fresh air intake to relieve myself by. It's always a crap shoot when pissing on a roof. You can just about bet that is when the owner will show up.

Gatoraid bottles, just dont forget which one is the real gatoraid :eek: I was always taught not to use customers restroom, some will offer and I will gladly accept but it never fails if you do use their RR the potty will overflow or not flush :D

hey, if ya got to go, ya got to go. I Just ask if I can use the customers rest room. I have never been refused, and most folks are very 'understanding' . If that don't work I wait till I can get to the wholesalers and go there.
Now on a new construction job? thats a whole other matter, :baby :confused: :eek: :(

In my truck I like to use an 1 1/2" hose through a hole I drilled in the floorboards. The guy behind you will never know he is being pissed on while following too close.:devil.... :p ahhhhhh!!!
If you are hosing out a condenser then peeing anywhere is acceptable. If the lady of the house catches you then you can tell her you are just trolling. See if she takes the bait!:D

I've been out of that office for months. I was supposed to move into the new regional offices this weekend but the contractor did not get there to build the partition walls. So, I am still working out of my home until the interior work gets done at my new office.
I did take a picture of an interesting feature of the new office. This is what was lurking in the bush about three feet from my new office door;

Those partitions can be very handy when someone is taking a piss or a dump in the office next to your's.

In Houston I am known as Mr. Peebody over that one. I think they make strap on urinal bags that can be hidden under the clothes so you can pee all day while keeping your leg warm at the same time.

What was the name of the Burt Reynolds' movie where he bought the "Automan's Friend" and went to the pschic enrichment seminar? I think of that movie often, but can't remember the name.

It is nice to see Robin is finally out of the closet.:rolleyes: He can rest easier now.
Are those new partitions the 'Hiny Hider' brand of partitions?:confused: There is a new elementry school opening up in town and that is the actual brand name stamped on the metal hardware for the partitions in the restrooms.:D

I am sorry...let me 'splain...This new elementry school is ready to open in the fall. The principal of the school is a family friend and she invited my wife and others to an open house to show off all the new stuff in the school. I didn't attend. My wife is the one that told me about the restroom partitions.
Yeah...that's it...that's my story and I'm sticking to it....

Sorry to dip so far into the archives boys, but get this. My best friend is a top sheetmetal man and installer with 20+ years in the field. He changed companies last week. His new employer has a policy of not letting any employees use their residential customers' bathrooms. Anytime a crew is on a resi jobsite, they must note on their timesheets when they've left and returned from a bathroom break and the time is deducted from their paychecks. All 4 crews have taken to equipping their trucks with two 5-gallon buckets, one for wizz, the other for feces. Often as not, the buckets dump over when departing the jobsite. This is the most degrading company practice that I've ever seen. :mad:

I have worked for companies like that, it always backfires on them, because it annoys the hell out of all the employees and makes then mad, so the employees "make up" for the lost time by taking longer lunches and breaks. It's just a stupid owner that thinks he's "saving" something by not paying for a potty break :baby:rolleyes:

In this state it is law that employees must be given restroom breaks and not charged for them. This has lead to some people taking advantage and taking a long break. This is remedied by employers being allowed to fire these employees. If the employer says you cannot use a customer's bathroom then that employer must provode adequate facilities. This means a porta-pottie must be delivered to the jobsite. It is a very stupid employer that would make such requirements out here.

Another user on another site. If he's here I haven't seen him "S.W." came up with the grand idea of pissing in the van door??
Just searched and he is a registered user here but hasn't posted in a while.

Sorry to dredge up this lousy thread, but viewer e-mails have flooded us.
It seems the original instigator of the whole bucket-in-van restroom policy was a guy named Rodney who had used a customers bathroom to go #2. The homeowner, (a woman) had called the office to complain that she had to use her kitchen spatula to fillet the offending brownfish into flushable portions, thus creating the new company rule.
