Porta Potty Vent Blower??

[oliveyang]

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this. So my gf was using one of the lovely porta potties on 7:30 & C and I was outside waiting in front of the doors. Someone from the other side, the street side, put something (like a J shaped piece of PVC) over the top vent and I heard like a vacuum or leaf blower sound. I could see it just over the top of the porta potties. She rushed out and once she was collected we tried to see what it was but couldn't see anyone. There were no services around either, so it definitely wasn't something official. It looked to me like someone had attached a leaf blower to some tubing and was forcing air into the porta potty through the top vent. She said it was not nice feeling at all, and I can image air blowing up through the holding tank in a porta potty did not feel good. I don't know if the person did not think it through or were just being a dick.

Lol, most likely being an asshat. At least they didn't drop an M80 down there, or hook up a propane poofer.

[oliveyang]

You're probably right. They put quite a lot of effort into being an asshat then.

A few years ago while at work, a coworker was using an outhouse at truck inspection station near Mustang, NV. I found a rock just big enough to fit in the roof vent.
I'm sure you know, "the rest of the story".
I felt bad though because of the fact that the service company had to get the rock out, hopefully without damaging the equipment.

Best I have heard of in BRC Porta lore is the year some one dressed as a gorilla hide in potties and jumped out at users..

Do that to me and I wont have to use the pot.. Back to camp for clean shorts..

For me porta potty jokes are totally off limits. You get 20 others' piss and excrement on me and shit's (pun intended) gonna go down.

Some of the pranks are good natured and benign, such as musical Christmas cards being slipped behind the toilets so they play all week. There is a clear line between playfulness and being a destructive jerk.

I saw a group at the porta potties this year that would wait for some unsuspecting person to go inside. Then they would quickly setup a red carpet and velvet rope and have a reporter and a bunch of admiring, cheering fans waiting when they exited; and would interview them like they were on the red carpet at the Grammys or something. Actually a pretty funny prank.

Then of course there was the amazing mirage portos out in the deep playa. That was the most spectacular prank ever!

POOPARAZZI! I sat and watched this unfold for a good 30 minutes a couple years back. Totally hilarious and everyone that exited the port-o laughed at the prank, without exception.

As disgusting as it might be, if there's a "pyramid" extending above the water line, you shouldn't have to worry about any plop-plop splash-splash and your ass gets painted blue

They were probably using one of those little cordless blowers with an extension pipe on it. A bit of a breeze while you're in there (don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about) is actually kinda nice, but if the water was splashing around and whatnot, that's a bit much.

I chuckle aloud as I think about it, but sometimes I'm just easily amused.
