The Time It Was Me

Posted 10.24.2007 by stanky (26)
My wife and my mother are usually the ones who have poop trouble while on the road. The number of "unproductive" rest stops I make when traveling with them borders on ridiculous. If the PA on the plane crackles and the captain's voice informs us that we will be in a holding pattern, it is guaranteed the old lady will say "Oh, shit!" and have to go to the bathroom. For my mom, the whole time she is visiting is considered "traveling," which means her fecal factory shuts down for the first four or five days, until she resorts to extreme measures like drinking water, eating prunes, inserting suppositories, and downing all kinds of laxatives and liquid dynamite.

I, however, like my father, was blessed with the cast-iron stomach and a camel's bladder. But every once in a while, even I get the wide-eyed I-gotta-find-a-bathroom look.

In the mornings, my limit in the car is usually about one hour before I have to shit. Good thing I don't work too far from home. On the many occasions I've had to drive extended distances to customer sites in the morning, more often than not I would have to stop and find a poop palace within an hour of leaving the house.

My days are usually blissful. I take two or three dumps in the morning. If I get to the magic third crap before nine AM, I know it's gonna be a great day. Other times, though, I'm lucky to get one out before going to work. Those are the kind of days in which trouble is brewing in Poop City with a capital "P".

When I read about someone's "two-minute warning" on PoopReport, I knew exactly what it meant. After a wedding a few years back, the in-laws, the wife, and I were driving back to our hotel on I-84 near New Britain, Connecticut. It was late fall and unusually dark that night. I was driving along and whistling when I felt the two-minute warning.

"Unholy shit, Batman!" I thought. All the beer, booze, and rich food I partook in at the party must've reacted in my gut. And of course, there were no rest areas or fast food joints in sight.

The in-laws and the wife are chatting along, totally unaware of what was transpiring. We were twenty or thirty minutes from the hotel, and I was squeezing the rosebud shut to keep from ruining my suit and the driver's seat. I let a few exits pass by, hoping to find someplace to stop, but it was pitch black everywhere and there was no hope in sight. "What kind of suburban interstate bullshit is this?" I wondered, as the pain and pressure intensified.

After two or three false alarms, I finally, and without a warning to my passengers, just pulled off the road. The chatting stopped immediately. "I gotta get out for a minute," I proclaimed. I ran out of the car to a strategic wooded area, dropped my drawers, and squatted. Ever ready for game day situations, I blasted the doo doo daiquiri into the leaves below without splattering on my clothes.

When I got back to the car, the chatty passengers, who couldn't make out what I was doing in the dark distance, thought I had puked. Yeah, like I would be driving if I were that drunk!

(It was a few years later when they finally figured out I had run out to the woods for a diarrhea appointment.)

An unholy odor and a horrible brown stain in that hallowed spot marks my historic stop. Perhaps it will be a memorial rest stop someday. That stretch of highway could sure use one!

No rest area or fast food on 84 anywhere East or west of new britan is bs.

I can ensure you if this story is within the last 15 years then you are lying.

One, Hartford is 12 miles to the east and 14 miles to the west is rest area. So either way your covered. So sad to lie about shit.

Great comment!

Lonely hitch-hikers, wandering the woods along the highway at night, have told stories of poop hauntings... agonized moans, a whispy stench, and the sound of brown paint splattering leaves.

You poop 3 times before 9 AM?

paradise pooper (51) -- 10.24.2007

I often poop 3 times before 9am, but that's not relavant. this story lacked everything that makes a good poop stary good. you went to a wedding, pulled over on the side of the road, and took a growler. wow.

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 10.24.2007

PR is really lacking these days. Last couple weeks have featured some real turds. This lousy half-assed attempt at a pun is better than many of the recent stories.

Feel free to show us what you can do then, partner. You can always do so anonymously, if you are too humble to take credit for your masterpiece.

when knights were bold
and toilets weren't invented,

they'd dump their load
beside the road
and walk away contented."

It took them years to figure out why you ran into the woods? You'd think there would have been some sort of tell-tale odor. If they're like any normal family, they would have badgered you until you told.

...not gonna lie, I have a hard time believing this.

DungDaddy (1386) -- 10.24.2007

Maybe it already stunk so bad in the car that no one noticed.

Tuba Cheeks (not verified) -- 10.24.2007

I feel your pain. As a truck driver, I'm always running ( pun intended!) into this situation. Esp in New England- where property is too valuable to "waste" on such minor things as truck parking. Guess folks just prefer "trucker bombs", bags of shit, and maniac drivers desperate to reach a toilet. Even worse- the truckstops that do exist are either TA's ( horrible food that makes you shit), Pilots (who only have fast food- to the same effect), or are independents with no restaurant at all! I can think of only 2 exceptions to the last one, and those usually give you the shits, too! Such a combo- far too little truck parking and "shitty" food!

Thank God almost all my customers have nice, clean bathrooms for the drivers to use!

You 4 wheeler drivers are lucky, you can pull in or turn around pretty much anywhere. The story is far different for us...

The Thunderous ... (710) -- 10.24.2007

Yeah what pnuttycorn said above....YOU POOP THREE TIMES BEFORE 9AM?!?!? Now I sometimes have to take a second dump at work BUT its not held to a certain hour. Geez THREE times before 9am? There isnt any BRAN in this world that can get me to do that one.

Have you tried drinking that new bottled water, Agua de Caca, imported direct from Tijuana? That'll have you shitting three times in the first hour.

I love Eoz's comment. Very seasonal. Had me giggling.

Stanky, I have 2 questions.....

Being able to poop 2 or 3 times before 9 AM has me wondering what time you get up. If you're an early morning guy like Mr. daphne (4:30 AM), maybe 2 poops is an unremarkable possibility? That would make room for the shit/shower/shave morning ritual and the after breakfast dump experience. I can't account for the third. My day must be pretty boring if that's bothering me, but it is. How do you poop so much in the AM?

I was also curious about what you used to wipe with in the woods, because you didn't mention using anything. And if you didn't wipe, you surely must have smelled in the car. Is is possible that your family really did know what happened and pretended not to? That's how my family would have handled this. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, you know.

So yes the part about being able to dump a load on 3 separate occasions before 9am without any natural or unnatural inducements is just something I am blessed with. And that's if I get up by 6:30. Today I was up at 5:15am and had 3 slide out before I had to wake my kids up at 7:00am. No cheating involved, just natural honest to goodness crapping.

stanky (26) -- 10.24.2007

And as far as the reliability of my memory of what happened, I would've gladly gone to a fast food joint or rest stop to shit if I saw one.
Perhaps the urgency of the moment clouded my perception.

Poop Report investigators are checking the story at this very moment, searching for the exact spot where this alleged incident took place so that anal-nonymous cowards might be satisfied with the accuracy of the claims made in this story.

I guess it's easier to criticize than to share a story.

stanky (26) -- 10.24.2007

Anal Poopette - I am dumbfounded as well that my wife and in-laws were so busy talking and so naive as to what I left the car for. I guess that's why I married them. And no I wasn't stinking up the car. The gas/liquid combo was percolating inside me and I think I mentioned I was squeezing that rosebud tight out of politeness. It's only recently I have found the courage to fart in front of my in-laws. They are WAY more uptight than my own family.

Lame comment!
Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 10.25.2007

The fact is Stanky is you are either completely lying or this did not take place in the new britan area.

Pathetic if you were that drunk that could not see an establishment within 15 miles of new britin.

There are rest areas and truck stops actually one at exit 28 10 miles west and metro Hartford 10 miles east.

God dam Liar.

College Poopette (8) -- 10.25.2007

"Anal" Poopette? My apologies; I just thought it kind of odd that they wouldn't notice the smell or drill you for what happened. My family would have been hounding me for details (good blackmail material I suppose). The uptightness definitely explains it though (I bet they're the type that excuse themselves after they hiccup).

Hurrah for new-found fart freedom!

daphne (3695) -- 10.25.2007

Aw, Stanky, I didn't criticize you. I only had questions. I ask alot of questions.

It's true stanky...daphne does ask a lot of questions. I liked the story - nice little break from my own reality at work.

P.S....Dude...you married your MOM??

I know it was a typo, but I just couldn't resist.

Great comments - even by the doubting anonymous one. Thinking back it was probably a 20-30 minute drive total from some country club like place off the highway, onto I-84, and then off I-84 to our hotel wherever the hell it was. I live about 300 miles away from there and that was my only trip there so I was totally disoriented. In the dark, with alcohol in the tank, and a red alert from my bowels it seemed a lot farther so please excuse any unintentional distortion of detail.

Daphne - I don't recall wiping. Perhaps I air dried, blew it off with hot gas, or my slightly intoxicated and chatting like chainsaw passengers were just totally oblivious.

College Poopette - sorry for calling you Anal Poopette. My mind must've been on something else at the time.

And best of all, Mary Queen of Scats - nope I didn't marry my Mom. When one gets married, they get the wife and all the in-laws, so that was my gist.

stanky (26) -- 10.25.2007

And for other interested parties, today was a stellar day. Dumps at 610am, 635am, 655am, AND 820am!!!!

daphne (3695) -- 10.26.2007

For that reason alone, you belong here.

Ahhhh, I understand now stanky.

I'm still trying to figure out how to divorce my in-laws while keeping my husband.
