To all the overworked and underpaid Rest Stop Pooper Picker Uppers… We Salute You!!!
I feel it only fair to mention the blunt forms of descriptors here, but if they have to pick it up, then I want to call it out…
My husband and I frequented more public restrooms than I care to remember, while he drove a Semi Tractor Trailer for some years, and I was offended by the human capacity to NOT flush a friggin toilet… on a daily basis, to be quite honest. I saw things that you do not want me to share, some things that absolutely should have stayed in peoples own dirty bathrooms.
That person you are shopping next to, the one testing the ripeness of that cantelope… chances are that they did NOT wash their hands after using the restroom. How do I know this, you might ask? Cause I was in there and watched them walk right out the door with a strip of toilet paper stuck on the back of their shoe.
Without getting any grosser, I will simply say “We Salute You” to those unfortunate employees that will never get paid enough to pick up after numerous adult strangers that apparently were raised in a barn in the backwoods of some very remote Commune, and were never taught how to use the restroom beyond the age of 4.
In an attempt to help a guy or girl out, I am leaving you with a saying I have been using for years, most likely read off of a bathroom stall,
“May your life be like a roll of toilet paper… Long and useful”…
Now PLEASE wash your hands…
Journey With Me! 
Yikes! Gross, but sadly true…!

You are right people really can be such pigs, and the poor janitorial staff have to clean it all up.

My kids have determined the most valuable piece of information that they have obtained from me while on the road & being homeschooled is that truckers pee on the ground at rest areas, which explains both the smell and the random puddles 🤣 aww, I’m doing such a fine job shaping their young minds 😂
