What's the funniest porta potty story from your years on the job?

Ray M.asked 1 viewGeneral DiscussionStoriesEtiquetteExperienceFestivalAda unit

Sixteen years hauling portable toilets, you see some things. The best was a three-day music festival, hot as hell, three hundred people, all drinking. We had a dozen standard units and one ADA-compliant unit on a grass field, truck access was fine. Sunday morning, I roll up to service them and find the ADA unit gone. Not tipped over, vanished. Took me twenty minutes to spot it fifty yards away in a ditch, surrounded by empty beer cans. Turns out a bunch of guys decided it'd be funny to push the biggest one down the hill after last call. Had to winch it out with the truck. Never found out who did it. What's the funniest thing you've walked up on? Any units go missing on you?

I've never had a unit go missing, but I did roll up to a construction site once to find a standard unit completely wrapped in shrink wrap. The crew had a pallet of it and decided to mummify the toilet overnight. Took me twenty minutes to cut it all off. Another time, I opened one to service it and a full-sized garden gnome was sitting inside, staring back at me. Never did figure out how it got in there. The weirdest part was it was clean, like someone placed it carefully. People do strange things when they think no one's watching. Servicing weekly is standard, but on a hot festival weekend like yours, we'd schedule extra pumps to keep up with the heavy use and prevent overflows.
