Another reason to avoid porta-potties
Dare I say, this is a crappy way to get injured:
PISMO BEACH, Calif. -- A man using a portable toilet at Pismo Beach Pier got a jolt when a sports utility vehicle struck it and pushed it 10 feet, police said.
David Fear, 56, of Grover Beach was momentarily knocked unconscious when the SUV accidentally backed into a curb and the toilet, police said.
The driver, Terrance Sterling, 17, put his car in reverse instead of drive.
"You could hear the scooting of a porta-potty on the ground," said police Sgt. Steve Weir. "The guy inside bumped his head."
Sterling was not cited.
This seems to add credence to my theory that porta-potties should be avoided at all costs. Whether it's friends tipping them over, somebody peeing all over the seat, or the foul stench emitting from every one of them, these things are bad news. They are essential and important devices, but also a curse. They are an outpost of relief, but a haven of filth. They're typical of most modern things: a great convenience, but a true pain sometimes.
