Open letter to the men of DU:

[XemaSab]

Don't pee in a bottle and throw it out the window of your car.

That's just nasty.

Thanks.

[BigMcLargehuge]

1. how bout a milk carton?

[XemaSab]

6. No.

Opaque bottles are still nasty, even if we can't see the liquid inside.

[EstimatedProphet]

2. I usually use a plastic bag

[ZombieNixon]

3. And don't fill a 40oz with urine and leave it outside a bar.

You just know a homeless guy's gonna think it's free beer! x(

[XemaSab]

8. Did this happen to you?

[ZombieNixon]

14. No, but I was walking back to the train one night and saw it.

[Radio_Lady]

73. They did a feature on this on Portland television. There's a long

stretch of road from Salem, Oregon to Seattle, Washington.

Seems that truckers are so pressed for time that they regularly do this. That way, they don't have to stop at the infrequent "rest stops" which are 50 miles or so apart, I believe.

Pretty disgusting. However, as a woman, I could never do this. I've tinkled on many a shoe while squatting in the brush, however.

You gotta go when you gotta go.

In peace,

Radio_Lady

PS. If you find a bottle of apple juice, it may look full, but please don't drink it.

[Magrittes Pipe]

4. I take a walk and throw it IN the windows of passing cars.

:shrug:

[AllegroRondo]

5. Are cans OK then?

[XemaSab]

10. See post #6.

[LSK]

7. what if I open my car door instead of out the window?

:popcorn:

[XemaSab]

13. Going 85 MPH down the 5?

That'd be quite a trick.

[LSK]

19. no silly, i pull over and stop

Duh!

:popcorn:

[Orrex]

9. Can I just pee out the window, then?

No bottle, no litter.

[XemaSab]

12. I dunno, CAN you?

[Orrex]

15. Yes, and I don't even need to move from the driver's seat

Now that's a mad skill.

[MissB]

32. I had a classmate in college

who had an unusually long commute. She lived on the coast and drove over 100 miles each way, each day. She was quite proficient at peeing in a coffee cup. I never wanted to know if she used that cup, well, never mind. x(

[Roon]

49. I'd pee out the window

But I run the risk of running over my penis

[Debi]

11. Does that mean us gals can still do it? n/t

[XemaSab]

18. No, no it does not...

[Debi]

22. You're just jealous b/c you need a wide-mouth bottle to pee in

admit it :eyes: You have bad aim

[XemaSab]

25. I confess

I would be unable to do that while driving.

[Debi]

35. I think you should try and get back to us w/the results...so you can

have an informed opinion.

[XemaSab]

36. No thanks.

[Debi]

44. well, :poopcorn: n/t

[Shine]

16. What made you think of THAT?

:spray:

Have you ever seen that happen? :shrug: ewwwww....

:popcorn:

[XemaSab]

20. I swear I saw at least 10 bottles

by the side of the road on the way down to Sacto the other day. x(

[Shine]

42. ewwwww.....!

x(

tip: at a certain point ya gotta stop counting.


;)

[bridgit]

24. i seen it as a skit on daily show bout 4 months back...

[Shine]

43. that sounds about right.

:hi: bridgit! how you're holding up with all this effing rain? :shrug:

[bridgit]

47. girl, it's raining hard sometimes but steady forever, a couple levees...

broke out on the delta and flooded some stuff, car wrecks all over the place = grid lock (had to come home via home boy side streets), and it just keeps on coming down, river is way up = parks all flooded; we're just back in from the day and YES MA'AM! i am going to mix up some fresh guac...am i predictable or what :-) cept this time we brought beer, V-8 & tamales :thumbsup:

:hi: :loveya: :hug:

[Shine]

50. Yummmmm....

me? I'm heating up some leftover homemade minestrone for me and the kids for dinner. Maybe make some garlic bread...

:9

Bon appetite! :hi: :hug: :loveya;

[u4ic]

17. So you're giving the green light

to truckers?:shrug:

[XemaSab]

23. How so?

:shrug:

[u4ic]

27. Don't pee in a bottle and throw it out the window of your "car"

;-) :D

Apparently it's a big problem here...LOTS of yellow bottles on the roadsides...:puke:

[XemaSab]

28. I get it...

:P

But yeah, it's NASTY... I don't care if you pull over and pee in the bushes, or even if you pee in a bottle and keep it inside the vehicle (though that's still NASTY), just the combination of litter and pee grosses me out.... and I don't gross out easily.

[CarpeDiebold]

21. 'zactly. at least stop the car at a strangers house and pee on their lawn

[dr.strangelove]

26. I usually just let it dangle out the window while I drive

avoid the whole bottle thing.

[gizmo1979]

30. I've got a hole in the floor board

that's handy that way.If I could I would dangle it out the window just to show off.

[dr.strangelove]

41. I used to use a hole in the floor board,

but it kept dragging on the pavement. Out the window gives me a bit more slack. That skin is tender.

[MissB]

29. Can you imagine picking up bottles along the highway

for extra cash? It is great for the environment and for the pocketbook, but um, ew.

[WilliamPitt]

31. Can I place it gently on the street?

[XemaSab]

38. .

:o

[JitterbugPerfume]

33. people actually DO that?

good grief!

[Ptah]

34. "Trucker Bombs" Stinky and Potentially Dangerous

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x841627

[XemaSab]

39. That's scary

:(

[entanglement]

71. trucker bomb

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[StaggerLee]

55. That would be a hell of a way to go

Just sayin'
:scared:

[Wapsie B]

37. But can we pee in the sink?

Or off a balcony?

:shrug:

[bigwillq]

40. I've peed in a bottle before

in my car but I have never thrown it out the window.

:) :hi:

[XemaSab]

45. That's TMI

[hfojvt]

46. If I could save pee in a bottle

the first thing that I'd like to do...

Ooops, bad earworm. How about this.

"I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
urine in a bottle today"

Then there is the road trip classic

"99 bottles of pee on the wall
99 bottles of pee
take one down
toss it out the window
98 bottles of pee on the wall.."

[WCGreen]

52. They have web sites for that......

:rofl:

Golden Slumbers fill the jar.....

Boy, you should carry it home...
Carry it home tonight now......

[Roon]

48. I used to drive truck

The guy who trained me used to do that. I always just stopped the truck and went pee on the side of the road. You have this huge "box" to hide behind and no one can see you. Day or night.

[henslee]

51. My uncle does that. Seemed he got mugged once at a truckstop and

now he does not stop for bathroom breaks. It is disgusting, especially when he leaves the jug in the backseat... plus factor in the ashtray full of ciggie butts. Blechhh.

[Deja Q]

53. How about just peeing in the car?

[av8rdave]

54. I HAVE to pee in a bottle occasionally for my job...

but I've never been asked to throw it out the window.

So no, it wasn't me.

[Hissyspit]

64. I do it, too, but don't throw it out the window either. Throwing it out

the window is nasty, pathetic, and illegal.

[RedG1]

56. don't pick up those empties for deposit return...

that's nasty

[AngryAmish]

57. You'll get my plastic bottle of urine when you pry it from my cold, dead

oh, nevermind.

[flvegan]

58. What if...

1. it's a plastic bottle, and;
2. the cap is on, and;
3. it's not thrown, but tossed so as to not rupture?

Better yet, what if I throw said bottle at an Escalade with Bush/Cheney '04 stickers on it?

[XemaSab]

68. Well that last stipulation makes it okay...

:D

[NMMNG]

76. You're evil

But you're the kind of evil I like. :evilgrin:

[Kat45]

59. I'm a woman and I pee in a Big Gulp cup. Is that ok?

I don't throw it out the window. I usually pour it out on the street. :D

[Merrick]

60. What is your position on vomit?

I saw a guy on the 10 in LA vomiting out his window while he was driving about 60 MPH one saturday afternoon. Would you support or disapprove of such an activity?

[laheina]

62. How much of it ended up on his car? nt

[XemaSab]

70. I'm not in favor of vomiting

If I happen to be in the back seat and I get sprayed with it!!!! x(

[khashka]

61. Don't paint us with the same brush

I'v been a man for decades and I've NEVER done that!


I think it's disgusting too.

Khash.

[beyurslf]

63. What if we just flop it out the window and pee free?

[TK421]

65. I've already done it! Does that mean I'm finished ?

:toast:

[killerbush]

66. Sorry it will never happen again

[Robb]

67. How about out the window of a Cessna?

Not that I've done that, of course. :evilgrin:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

69. The Gods Must Be Really Crazy

[HEyHEY]

72. I'll just pee straight out the window

[marzipanni]

75. Not if the car is moving along at 65, you wouldn't.

That pee stream would get close to the airstream and bend at a right angle all over the side of your car.
When my dad was a kid his old geat-uncle spat a cigar-stinking spit blob out the front window of his car and it came in the back window and landed on my dad's shoulder>>>>blechhh!

[CanuckAmok]

74. NOW you tell me. So do I have to carry it around with me now?
