Traffic / Bathroom Question

A Glock on your hip wearing nothing but your underwear and a cowboy hat... priceless!

I have had citizens of Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa allow me to use their "facilities" though they knew nothing about me and sometimes didn't like me. But they believed it is their humanly duty (pardon the pun) to help another person in need. I'll be danged if I turn away someone who asks for help. I will explain how the toilet works, inform them of my rules and let them find sweet relief. Besides, who is going to do us harm when there is no place to run... we are in a traffic jam. And, I carry!

Your experiences mirror mine. I have been all over Asia and Europe and the folks in those places understand basic human kindness. Only in the good old USA will people refuse to help those in need. I used to think non-Americans hated us out of jealousy, but now know it is because we are jerks.

And openly, no, braggadociously, presented here.

I think some spurs would really accent that outfit nicely...

We have been in this situation a couple of times traveling and in traffic jams.
One was a young pregnant woman, and the other was another middle-aged gal.
Neither one tried to murder us or take us hostage.
They were very thankful and appreciative.
Some of the responses on the subject make me realize what I see in our nation is problematic and NOT very giving.
To each there own.

Wow! I was very surprised that the "attitude of our nation" would be threaded into this question. I thought that was not called for my fellow camper. But you are right, it is all about personal choice.

[Chateau_Nomad]

Well... when Jimmers threw the topic of "pregnant women" into the conversation... morals suddenly change.

I mean, if you answered the door and had to choose between a 90 year old crippled grandma and a wino ???

For me it is a solid no! If that makes me a bad person, well I take care of me and mine all others are on their own. What would these people do if you or another MH were not there?

[lwmcguire]

A few years back my brother was in a dispersed camp with his Brave MH

On of his kids invited a neighbors kid, tent camping, in to use the facilities and clean up

Returned home found bedbugs after unloading a few days later

Wound up burning all beding, mattresses and furniture

Clothes in bags stored outside for a month

Fumigation twice in home and vehicles

They thought it was something that was in the grass or trees and didn't realize what they were dealing with until they called the exterminator

Kindness, logic, planning, risk?

Or how many? 2 or 20 folks welcome?

This isn't so cut and dried as some type

I agree 100% many people do not respect others property.
See what is happening around the nation in cities.
Take care of our own. And if no MH what was there backup plan? I have had to use the dam side of the road and my wife has and would again

We get helping others but this kind of help is a massive risk..the tent campers made a choice..

See what you started. Of course if there was a pregnant woman we would let her use the blue room! I'd even say, go ahead throw the paper down there too...

it seem every time i go back there to use the toilet at a Red Light,,,,, It turns green!
