Hazards of Pit toilets

[akcabin]

Huh ! I guess the public service announcement was cool. But I don't think I'd tell that story if it happened to me

I definitely have an irrational fear of pit toilets, and some of these stories just made it worse! A black widow bite to the bag!? Nope, I'm buying a bumper dumper now.

My wife and I were in Malaysia for a wedding in 2008. Many of the places you went, including restaurants, had just about a 6" hole in floor that was the toilet. You had to have pretty good duecing aim. Even the women's were the same. I would have paid good $ to go in a pit crapper.

My ex dropped her car keys down one pulling up her pants once.

Just gotta work on your groupings. Paying big money for fancy shitters won't make you more accurate. Spend your money on ammo and practice, not fancy gear.

After I was in Malaysia for a week, I could have crapped through a keyhole from 20 feet away… then again I subsisted entirely on Tiger beer.

I saw one toilet in the kitchen of a fancy restaurant where the toilet had gotten clogged… but people kept using it. There was a mound about 6 inches ABOVE the rim. It truly was a wonder of both gymnastics & architecture.

I chose to go to a different restaurant

My daughter used one as an emergency shelter while hiking the PCT a couple years ago. A bad storm had rolled in and she had not set up camp. Freezing temperatures and rain could have meant hypothermia. Luckily it was the cleanest pit toilet she had ever seen.

Toilets in Thailand and Malaysia are adventurous to say the least.

Conversely, toilets in Japan have so many electronic buttons and controls you think you are sitting on a rocket ship.

The black widow story sucks. Anyone else ever hiked to Hanakapiai falls in Kauai? The pit toilets near the beach about 2 miles in...

I don't know what kind of giant spiders those are but it's like a horror movie in there.

I hear you can get good pricing on cases of baked beans when you buy in bulk. Cheap target ammo

I usually just duct tape the latch in, kick the head a few times, lift the seat and check for spiders, ect, and give the ceiling a good once over....basically keep my head on swivel..all wood construction singles always makes me nervous...

Perspective.

Man I've had this same thought several times, some of those things are built like bank vaults! Glad you had your phone. I also always do the spider search. I grew up in an area that seemed to have an above average black widow population. Vault toilets are dark, cool, and damp....
