No one let&#8217;s the pregnant lady go first.  In fact, people will gleefully budge past a pregnant lady if she&#8217;s moving a little slowly because she just did a 5k Cancer walk with NO complaining.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>2. Although it seems obvious that there should be one line and the person in front should go to the next available porta-potty- as opposed to each person waiting in front of one potty- this is a concept that most people cannot grasp.  <\/p>\n<p>3. The phrase &#8220;Don&#8217;t let the door hit you on the ass&#8221; was obviously written after someone got hit on the ass with a porta-potty door.  Those things are spring loaded and violent. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>4. The actual toilet is just a big pit of blue chemicals.  If you look down into it you will never be the same.  I&#8217;m talking about a huge pile of waste, toilet paper and lost cell phones and sunglasses.  Think of the porta-potty as a Medusa: Don&#8217;t look it in the eye. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>5. You should put your cell phone in your front pocket (see #3)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>6. Do not wear flip flops.  I was thankfully in sneakers but I had gory fantasies of being in flip flops.  When I got how I had to rinse my sneakers in diluted bleach.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>7.  Due to a lack of running water, after using the potty one can only hope that there is some green-apple scented hand sanitizer left.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>8. Re: #7 the hand sanitizer is only scented green-apple.  It is actually not flavored green-apple<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>9. Re: #7 &#038; 8 the hand sanitizer is NOT a substitute for hand washing and therefore all eating or drinking or handshaking or nail biting must be postposed until one can find an actual sink.  I may start carrying those soap singles on me from now on as a result of the porta-potty experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>10. You are never really alone in a porta-potty.  There is always at least one fly or one pervert watching you as you use the potty.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n* I have been known to avoid porta-potties to the risk of my health- recall last year&#8217;s Taste Of Chicago Kidney Infection<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 Things I Wish I Had Known About Porta-Potties Before I Used One Last Weekend*: &nbsp; 1.
