....Lack of site supers and staff giving even 0.0001% of a $#it....as depicted in this photo...also speaks the personnel onsite who rather not use the giant hole next to this.....it's like anything else..if this looks like this, you can guarantee that other corners were cut, things obfuscated, etc etc etc......

OMG.  That is nasty!!!!!

Must agree that is not acceptable.  Suggests poor management.

@holy-cow 

sadly not the worst i've seen.  Was one of the several reasons I left surveying before.  

..Imagine, if you will, in another place, not unlike this one...

A portolet duet being hoisted via a tower crane to help the disposal of their contents... dripping and eventually raining down disgusting and vile putrid contents as no one thought to possibly get the levels before they already overflowed...

yeah.  site management that can't keep crappers from becoming biohazard cleanups not due to wind or vandalism are probably not doing lots of things right....

head on a swivel, always.

 

<SHRILL WHISTLE BLAST, THREE TIMES>

 

OVERHEAD!!!

Reminds me of a time long ago, staking houses in a mega-tropolis in central Florida.  Two crews had just met up close to quitting time, and we were all BSing about the day.  Along comes a flatbed with some trusses, makes the 90° turn onto an adjacent street.  As the flatbed makes the turn, the tail end of the truss package smacks a Porta-John and knocks it over.  All we hear is cursing and spluttering in Spanish as a framer comes crawling out of the overturned outhouse, covered in blue excrement.  I hope that poor guy got tested for communicable diseases.....

Sad to say, it's not just on the construction sites.

well, Tell Chris to start policing the potties at SAM so you're not having to face this instead of the nationwide expansion plans with the extra funds...jk.

Somebody must have thrown something in the urinal that plugged it.  I can’t blame management for that.  People that throw crap in urinals piss me off.

My experience back in the day, was the site general would cheap out and not have enough facilities for number of workers on site.  I would simply call or email a complaint to local health department.  The picture you show usually happened from a dumb ass putting objects in the urinal, my concerns were when the #2 was higher than the water line (gagging).  We don't live in a 3rd world country.....yet.  Jp

If you’re on a site that has a locked ladies only PP you can always tell management that you identify as a woman.

now that's not a bad idea at all.  I'll take it you've got empirical data from previous experiences....

 

if it doesn't disenfranchise a legit woman only potty.  I support that.

Just wait a bit longer, machine control is taking over. No more surveyors on-site, no more staking beyond property control and corners.

I can wait longer than you, but it's the twin future wish to my fascination with the self driving cars in the minority report. Not fast enough for sure....

Yeah, I'll get right on that.  

Funny story though, when Sam was still here on a daily basis, there was a period of a couple months that he and I must've been on the same bathroom schedule because I'd see him in the restroom every time I went. To be honest, it got to be so often that at one point if I saw him enter the restroom  before me (or even headed down the hall toward the bathroom) I went and used a different restroom across the hall.

When I was working in SD, we had a hand that would get a family member to bring him lunch, usually McDonald's, then he would sit in the porta potty and eat it.   We would regularly find leftover fries, burger wrappers, etc. in there. SO gross.
