Is anyone driving a long distance for Thanksgiving this week?

[BrianNole777]

I'm driving from Maryland to North Carolina on Wednesday morning early. I hope to leave around 5 A.M. Brutal. I'm not a morning person.

If I don't leave that early, the traffic will be hideous in Virginia on I-95...like bumper to bumper. It can add 4 hours to the trip.

It's about a 380 mile drive. I have a bunch of relatives in North Carolina. I have 20 cousins named "Bill" or "Bob." 😆

Great people...mostly North Carolina State alumni.

Tip: If you're driving and need to stop to use a restroom, stop at a hotel. If an employee stops you, ask to buy a bottle of water. I've done this. It's a million times better than stopping at a gas station or fast food bathroom.

Trust me.

Anyone else taking a long drive this week?

No driving for me. I just have to fire up the smoker early in the morning and nurse a few beers while I wait for the grandbabies to arrive.

I’ve used a few hotel bathrooms on long trips before. Mostly when my kids were little and I didn’t want them using gas station bathrooms and then during COVID when a lot of places didn’t allow customers inside. Never once has someone stop me. I always figured that if they did then I would flash my IHG Premier card.

Maybe 30 miles

hotel lobby bathrooms are generally the best. Rarely used but always kept clean and available. Out of 100+ hotel poop stops over the years, never once have I been asked. If you’re a newbie and nervous, can always pretend like you’re on a phone call while strolling through the lobby to the bathroom.

About 8 minutes to my brother’s house. Glad I moved back to the IC area!

 

[ConvenientParking]

I feel like, going off my look, I'd have an easier time accessing "employees only" areas of gas stations than hotel lobby guest bathrooms.

Also if you’re looking for breakfast after the poop, check out a holiday inn for the cinnamon rolls after pooping

Does buying a water make you entitled to use the bathroom or do you pee in the bottle?

 

[Bank of Hawk]

sometimes country club bathrooms can also be a good stop for a poop

 

[billanole]

Second time in decades we won’t drive 450 miles to Tally for bird, family, and FSU beating gates’ ass.

 

[QChawks]

Nah

Maybe 150 miles

Buying water turns you into a customer.

Buying a snack also suffices.

One last suggestion is Catholic Churches are almost always open and their bathrooms can be decent.. I suggest these bathrooms if you think you’re gonna be in there for 30+ minutes

Unless you're dressed like a poor.

gonna drive my ass from the couch to the fridge for another thanksgiving beer.

True, but sometimes they only have one toilet and someone comes knocking when I'm trying to blow it out...

Some guy started trying to talk to me from the next stall the last time I did this.

why not leave the night before and stay at a convent overnight?

30+? I take about two minutes in and out. Enter drop zone, drop and wipe, wash and dash.

That's right, son. Grunt the demons out of ya.

Did he ask you to confess deep thoughts?

We all can’t be quick poopers. Some of us, that’s all we have left to live for.

Forgive me father for I have hnnmnnnnnggggg.

Pop a squat is one of my genetic gifts, and I like it. Very stinky farts are the flipside…
Win some, lose some.

They'd probably ban me permanently...

I’ve never even thought about using a church bathroom. But I feel like it would be a little awkward if I decided to rub one out while I was in there.

As long as you clean up after, nbd

Yep.

That's a mortal sin...

Are you loud? Who would know if you rub and go?

 

[TJ8869]

I always practice ‘leave no trace’.

 

[TJ8869]

No one would hear me. It just seems like it would feel like an inappropriate place for it and it might take longer than usual as a result.

 

[BrianNole777]

Maybe I'll blow out a protestant church bathroom...just for spite.

Yeah, not a lot of feminine icons around either… not that it matters, I’m sure.

they would see your white corolla roll up and they'd be on their knees praying all night.

 

[Bank of Hawk]

I like where this thread went

That’s why God created smartphones.

They'd lock the door when I rolled up...

I bet you use the rub-a-phone app. It is the fastest service with the bestest talent and solid protection from bugs.

the temptations are too strong with Brian. Or they just didn't want to end up dead in his trunk.
