The festival toilet experience is one like no other. Most first time festival goers are appalled and horrified at the loo facilities in a field - but as time goes on - learning how to survive them becomes a rite of passage. As it were... ;)
I've seen everything from pay-as-you-go super posh loos - where £5 can get you access to a hairdryer, porcelain toilet and running water.... To the very extreme alternative, where balancing above the toilet using ski-like thigh muscles saves you from drowning in.. Umm.. Mess.
Here are my tips for using a portaloo:
- take your own loo roll. Don't presume there will be any. But if there is - take loads of it when you see it and fill your pockets for next time.
- don't blow your nose while in the loo. I has suffered the consequences of a big inhalation of toilet air post-sneeze. Rancid.
- don't look down. You already know what's gonna be in that pit of despair - so why scare yourself.
- flush. If its an option. Do as you would be done by and leave the loo in a state you would wish to find it.
- wipe the seat. Not that you wanna sit on it anyway - hover! - but its still a wise move if the papers available.
- hold the door open for the next person. Not only is it kind, but it also says "I'm not ashamed of you coming in here after me - cos that smell was not me."
Follow these simple rules... And you'll be ok
