Me, it's gotta be pretty bad. I'll pee in the woods before go in a porta-potty. Those suckers scare me.

I WON'T use a porta potty. I agree about peeing in the woods.
well, i agree. outside is preferable for me usually but i will use a porta-potty if at an event where there is no stealth-ish place to go outside OR if i require some seating arrangement.the worst is on about the third day of an event during a really hot july or august. you come out all sweaty and sick feeling with the sunlight causing you to wince. i always want to come out and say
"what we have here is a failure to communicate..."
I do seriously feel sorry for women when it comes to having to use porta potties. I am like Kevin, I prefer the outdoors, but will use if needed.
I will use either a porta potty or an outhouse without complaint, as long as it's not a super gross one. I've spent a lot of time at festivals, so I've gotten used to it. I like the ones with hand washing stands outside.I did once stay at a campground in Georgia with a three seater latrine. That was a little weird.
yeah, the talk is kinda awkward if the fishing is no good
Did it have a card table in the middle, or did you all just sit there and stare at the floor?

Well, luckily I was the only one in there - it was off season and freezing and we were the only ones on the grounds except for the owners and the 'campground manager', who was a Labrador Retriever. The owners did use it as off season storage for all the games equipment - balls and volleyball nets and stuff.
that's cool sarah. i like a good game of tetherball while i am using the facilities
as for hovering sally, you do find out how strong or weak your leg muscles are
I hate those things, but if one makes the mistake of drinking a giant strawberry lemonade at the fair, sometimes one has no other option. I prefer the ones with hand washing stands outside also.I now try to refrain from drinking beverages in that kind of situation.

I once went to an outdoor wedding up on a mountain. They had rented some porta-potties for the guests - and they were nice as porta-potties go, the only problem was when it got dark, they had no lights inside. I mean, you couldn't even tell if the seat was up or down - you just had to feel around for it.
Oh man, I have many scary porta-potty experiences under my belt where you have to find your way with a flashlight in the middle of the woods at night. No thanks... love camping but hate that experience. I'll use the more public ones at street fairs or in an emergency one that is questionable. Here's to Sally & me with the great ability to squat & hover! :)
I spent a weekend at a friend's cabin by a lake in WA. Nice lake, old cabin, no toilet. As outhouses go the one on this property wasn't too bad -- at least they treated it with lime frequently enough to keep the smell down.

Port-a-let and the outhouse
none can do what you do
Porta-potties are a last resort, only. So are outhouses and campground restrooms. I'd rather pee in a dark alleyway.It's not only the hygiene issues, it's the insects. I don't want some spider biting me on my tushy.

BZZZZZZZTTT!
Ta-daa, no more spiders.
