Virginia Bleach

Posted 07.17.2005 by Ratz (72)
A sixteen-hour car trip to Philly and NY with your best pal quickly loses its appeal when nature calls. I recently returned from just such a trip with a friend of mine. The trip up was tedious, but bearable. On the way back it was *far* worse -- and it certainly didn't help that my digestive tract and I were at odds the whole way.

Before the trip there, I played it safe. I made sure to fast and to bring various remedies for stomach discomfort, just in case. A poop was brewing from the day before, but -- amazingly -- I held it for the whole trip up to Philly (about thirteen hours, give or take). A bit extreme to most -- but in my eyes, taking a dump in a public facility is on par with making out with a rabid hyena. When we finally arrived at my brother's house in Philly, I was treated to what was arguably the most lengthy dump -- both in actual length of poop and length of time excreting the poop -- of my life thus far. I literally sat there, exclaiming aloud, "Jesus Christ, will it ever end?" And when it finally did, I honestly felt lighter; and I honestly had a bit of trouble gaining coordination upon exiting the bathroom.

On to the trip home. This time I was somewhat careless and neglected to take the same precautions I had on the trip up. I not only ate a breakfast of a ketchup-and-cheese potato chip sandwich (two, in fact), but I washed it all down with really shitty light beer, which has a history of moving things along in my colon. I still had plenty of the various stomach medicines left over, so I didn't worry myself about it. Of course, it didn't help that all throughout the trip my diet had consisted entirely of pizza, burgers, and shitty beer.

Some unforeseen events kept us in Virginia for twenty hours. Yes, twenty hours. The entire trip from NY to Georgia should have only taken around sixteen hours. So by nightfall (I believe it was about midnight), we had to pull over into a gas station because my friend and his girlfriend (who came back with us) didn't feel they could drive any more without passing out. I wasn't at all tired due to a phenomenally cracked out second wind, so I sat in the car sweating my ass off while they slept.

I have an incredibly low tolerance for heat, and when such conditions set in, I fall mildly ill. My bowels saw this to be their golden opportunity to round up the herd for relocation. What an awful time for such a thing to set in, seeing as we were surrounded by more truckers and other various weirdoes -- including a very disturbed individual staring at us from a shaded area in his van -- than I'd ever seen in my life. I reluctantly grabbed the Clorox spray (thank God I thought to have my friend grab that before we left) and headed into the gas station food mart.

I crossed my fingers in hopes that the bathroom would be single person with a lock on the door. No dice. Grungy truckers were littering the facility. I crept my way to the handicapped stall in the far back (kinda defeats the idea of it being a handicapped stall). I was already a bit anxious from being held up in Virginia for so long and now I had to deal with shady truckers conversing about my doings in the stall.

Why were they talking about me, you ask?

Upon entering the stall, I took my time in sterilizing the urine-soiled toilet seat with the Clorox. About ten minutes, to be exact. Then I had to painstakingly lay two seat covers on the seat and wad some phenomenally hard-to-rip toilet paper -- seriously, it must've been made of Kevlar -- into the bowl to prevent splash back. Then I had to pull down my shorts while simultaneously hiking up their bottoms so they wouldn't touch the deplorable dried pee-pube cakes residing on the floor.

This poop, much like the one in Philly, took a good five years off of my life, plus an additional five trying to rip and wipe with the aforementioned toilet paper.

When I exited the stall, the bathroom was empty, much to my relief. But when I walked out back into the store, time stopped. Everyone in the store paused in the midst of their doings and just stared at me until I walked out. The looks on their faces were not so much ones of shock or surprise but of sheer terror. I guess the combination my messed up hair, my sweaty face, and my bloodshot eyes, all while carrying a large can of Clorox, left for an unfavorable impression.

I went back to the car and lay down until my friend knocked on the window to wake me up, claiming that he couldn't sleep and asking if I was good to drive. I was; but just to be safe, I decided to head back to the food mart in which I had pooped to grab something caffeinated. Again, as soon as the door swung open, everyone came to a dead halt and just stared at me. I quickly made my way to the sodas and then went promptly to the counter to pay for my drink. The cashier said nothing to me -- she wouldn't even make eye contact. She took a great deal of time ringing up my single drink, very cautiously taking my money and giving me my change. In fact, she didn't even hand it to me -- she put it on the counter and slid it over. I took my change and put it into my wallet, and when I looked up from my wallet, she was gone -- and most of the store was cleared out, save an employee or two far in the back.

What had I done? Was there some unspoken rule that sterilizing the sacred handicapped stall was a sign of the apocalypse? Whatever the reason for these people's unrest, I learned a valuable lesson that night: never poop late at night in a gas station in the middle of nowhere, Virginia.

Well, I don't adhere to such rituals when I'm in my home bathroom. The conditions of this place were deplorable. I value my ass and genitalia far too much to let them fall victim to the pitfalls of the butt germs of truckers.

Ratz (72) -- 07.17.2005

Spotted another typo I made. The first sentence of the second to last paragraph. Sorry about that!

Ratz (72) -- 07.17.2005

No, it did not. Dave titled the story. I'm not exactly sure where in Virginia we were, but I do know that it wasn't in Virginia beach as we were on 81 south the majority of the way.

Dr. Dentz (not verified) -- 07.17.2005

Ratz, I live in Newport News, VA (for those of you who don't know where that is, it's about 45 minutes away from Virginia Beach). While I find the title of your story entertaining, and agree that in general, Virginia's public restrooms are a blight on society, I have to ask - did this actually take place in Virginia Beach?

Bunghole Delight (not verified) -- 07.17.2005

I was that weirdo that was staring at you. STAY AWAY FROM ME OR I WILL DO DIRTY DEVILISH DEEDS TO YOU. HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Dave (11657) -- 07.17.2005

Yeah, I'm responsible for the title. I guess it was a pun in which the first entendre didn't really work. Oh well.

Where's the second typo? I don't see it. Maybe I'm blind. I need an intern!

Dr. Dentz (not verified) -- 07.17.2005

It was funny to me, (only because I live here, and know where the place is...most out of staters don't) although totally irrelevant. 81 isn't anywhere NEAR VA Beach.

Obi-Dung Kenobi (112) -- 07.17.2005

"I value my ass and genitalia far too much to let them fall victim to the pitfalls of the butt germs of truckers."

I agree with the part of that sentence that says you value your ass and genitalia far too much. Don't most people carry much worse bacteria in their mouths than on their asses? Next time, slap on one sheet of paper covering, or whatever you've got, and plant your ass. Don't be such a pussy.

I dun been poopin' in public commodes for over two decades, with nary a zit on my rear...

Tydirium (516) -- 07.17.2005

Where's the artpad?/???????

Intern (not verified) -- 07.17.2005

"I went back to the car and LAY down ..."

"Laid down" would be past tense and correspond with "I went back" which also is past tense.

Intern (not verified) -- 07.17.2005

... and if you want to get very technical ...

"... and asking if I was good to drive ..." should read "if I WERE good to drive" since it is a hypothetical question, and the hypothetical alwasy is expressed as "were" rather than "was."

Go Away (not verified) -- 07.17.2005

Coincidence that I also live in Newport News? Maybe. If you think the truck stop toilets are bad, check out the ones in any Newport News public school. The toilet seat has the same pattern as a cow or a Gateway box. Various splashes of different color blended in with the toilet seat and usually a well soaked roll to boot.

Victoria (not verified) -- 07.17.2005

I think you mean 'digestive tract,' in your first paragraph; not 'digestive track.'

Active Poocano (not verified) -- 07.17.2005

I'm from Georgia too! Represent!

Dave (11657) -- 07.17.2005

Right you are, Victoria. Fixed it.

Short N. Sweet (not verified) -- 07.17.2005

Ratz, get a clue. You apparently fit the profile. You may want to stop freaking shamefully about your anal bathroom rituals and make an appointment with an image consultant.

The Intern's Intern (not verified) -- 07.18.2005

you mean "the hypothetical 'is always expressed,'" not "the hypothetical alwasy is expressed."

Explain please (not verified) -- 07.18.2005

"phenomenally cracked out second wind"
I do not understand this statement. Is this just a metaphor comparing your endurance to that of a similar state induced by amphetamines? Or, were you actually on drugs? Either way, you gave a description of yourself consistent with the stereotypical image of a person under the influence of amphetamines. I understand your appearance could be explained by your driving for so long and “sweating my ass off in the car”. I am not trying to imply something that is not there; I honestly do not understand this statement. Other than that, I enjoyed your story. {English is not my first language maybe that is why I do not understand this statement} Thank You.

PatrioticPooper (68) -- 07.18.2005

Small world Dr. Dentz! I live Va Beach too! Right near Sentara, in fact. You're so close you can probably smell the shit I just took!

Dr. Dentz (not verified) -- 07.18.2005

Unfortunately, I think you can live just about anywhere in the US and be close to a Sentara. The bastards have a death grip on the medical scene these days.

SamDamnit (1192) -- 07.18.2005

I'm surprised that no one is trying to guess why those people were so freaked out. My theory is that they assumed he was highly contagious. Perhaps that was so obvious that no one felt to comment on it. In any case, that was a good story.

Glutgut (not verified) -- 07.18.2005

Hoo kares bout tiepos? Good story. You maybe be a little bit germaphobe. I do understand though.

Intern 2 Intern (not verified) -- 07.18.2005

Dear Intern II,

Yes, I misspelled always; but you split the infinitive by putting "always" inbetween "is" and "expressed."

TurtleHead (not verified) -- 07.18.2005

Good grief, poopy grammar-phobes. What next? As for the germs, I think thats overdoing it myself, tho I have seen some truckstop restrooms that made me wanna go dookie in the parking lot.

t0x1c B4by Bug (not verified) -- 07.18.2005

They looked at you like the shameful shitting freak that you are.

Next time, just use an ass gasket. You can buy them at wallgreens at $5 for a pack of 50

Rats (not verified) -- 07.19.2005

Yeah, I'm dreafully sorry about all the typos. I'm admittedly a touch lazy, and often neglect to proof-read my writings. I'll take note of that in the future. As for your comment Obi-Dung Kenobi, I figure, better safe than sorry. Plus, there was piss all over the seat. I don't know about you, but the prospects of sitting in someone else's urine are not at all appealing to me. And for the fellow who was inquiring about my "cracked out second wind", I was not on drugs. This was in fact a metaphor implying that my state could be likened to that of a sleep deprived crackhead. Hope that clears everything up!

Ratz (72) -- 07.19.2005

It certainly doesn't help my case that in my above statement, I couldn't even manage to spell my damn name properly. D'oh!

Intern (not verified) -- 07.19.2005

Ratz, I didn't mean to start a spellwar. I was responding to Dave's question as to the typo you indicated in the "second sentence of the next to last paragraph." Actually, I could care less about typo and spelling errors in an otherwise good story. It's the editor's responibility to edit anyway. Keep up the good writing. Everyone enjoys a good tale.

Lake TitiKAKA (not verified) -- 07.19.2005

So it wasn't edited. I think he gets the point by now, why can't you people relax? Who cares so much about the grammatical errors? It was a good story, it really happened, so leave poor Ratz alone. Great job, Ratz!

STINKY LOG II (not verified) -- 07.21.2005

why is it you can eat a ketchup cheese and potato chip sandwich for breakfast with a beer and you can't take a dump in a public restroom...i'm not sure its the truckers that have the problem

Ratz (72) -- 07.21.2005

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

dixie (not verified) -- 08.02.2005

My husband is a truck driver and he says that he has seen some of the most awful bathrooms! He is a super clean person and if the bathroom is too gross he will look for a cleaner one.He has even taken to keeping an empty 5 gallon plastic bucket in the sleeper of his semi. All he has to do is put a Walmart bag down in the bucket,do his business,tie up the bag and throw it in the nearest dumpster.I tell him that he's gonna get a permanent ring around his ass from the bucket and if he does I will call him "Bullseye" for the rest of his life!!

doodooapoopoo (not verified) -- 09.04.2005

What an errie story. Did you hear someone playing duleing banjoes at that truck stop?

Miss Simone Scat (570) -- 07.18.2007

This is my favorite phrase "My bowels saw this to be their golden opportunity to round up the herd for relocation." Ratz this line alone is priceless. Then I had thoughts of my own "turdherd" when it wants to relocate.
