------------- Enjoying caravanning, realising what an expensive hobby it is and spending the family’s inheritance before they can get their hands on it!
We went to France a few years ago. One of my daughters wanted to go to the loo and we eventually found a public one, but as I didn't have enough change I told my husband not to shut the door when he came out so I could go in with my daughter. Whilst in there I heard a strange noise and noticed water coming out of the wall and up through the floor, the next thing we were sprayed with disinfectant and the cleaning cycle began! Trouble was we couldn't get out as the door was locked! I have never laughed so much in all my life!! And it was even funnier watching everyones faces when they realised what had hapened to us when we came out!!
OMG. That reminds me of another toilet story. Went to the storeage some years ago - actually it was on Christmas Eve. Realized I hadn't drained the water down so thought I had better go and do it. Well, the sound of all that water.....well I was absolutely desperate so just had to use the facilities. While being especially relieved and in awe of the facilities that lay before me, my glassed slipped of my nose and before I had chance to take a sharp intake of breathe, landed safely... down the hole in the bottom of the toilet. Try as I might to retrieve them... well there was slightly more chance of hell freezing over. So there was I contently relieved, but up to my arm pits in uri..... (well, u... know what). I left my mobile at home so couln't contact anyone, couldn't see to drive as my glasses were firmly encapsulated within the toilet bottom tank. In the end, I decided to take out the toilet, put it in the back of the car and decided to risk driving home without glasses. Take it that I lived about three mile from our storeage facility, it took me over an hour to drive home, with frequent stops, but in the end made it. I did get my glasses out eventually, but you can image who became the laughing stock at all our Christmas get togethers - especially when we met with our caravanning friends.
When I told my wife about this thread and my post, she reminded me that we had great difficulty in getting my glasses out of the toilet. In the end we resorted to using......... the barbecue tools. Anyone for a burger!!!
.......
......don't worry, we did put the BBQ tool in the bin when we'd finished fishing the glasses out.
Just got home today from a week away and my OH dropped the hairbrush down the caravan loo a few days ago. He said he wasn't trying to fish it out and we had to go and buy a new one. Could hear it rattling around when he emptied the cassette and in the end he had to take the slider plate off to get it out.
That was just one of the problems we had - the water heater element went, the turbo pipe went on the car and to top it all off, the motor mover lost a bolt on the way home and wouldn't engage on the caravan wheels when we got to our storage site!Talk about things going bad to worse - I was so glad to get home!
Well this isn't camping but it does concern a toilet - or the lack of one.
A couple of years ago my OH - now ex - was working as a landscape gardener in the grounds of a big private house when one day he needed the loo desperately. With the owners being out and the house locked up he had to improvise so used a bucket which he found in the garage - only trouble was, he had no loo paper, and the only thing he could find to use was a pair of the owner's sports socks! Greatly relieved he buried the contents of the bucket - and the socks - in the compost heap, washed out the bucket and returned it to the garage. A couple of hours later the house owner returned home and let the dogs out for a run round the garden - which was fine, until one of the dogs returned with s**t stuck all over the fur on its back. Yes, it had been round by the compost heap, somehow sniffed out the contents of the bucket and rolled in it! The owner was quite puzzled as to what it was and where the dog had got it from - my OH couldn't for shame own up, so he did a fast disappearing act and left the owner washing the dog in the outside sink!

A little while ago for the house SWMBO decided to try out those extra strength bacterial wipes you can get now to wipe down surfaces and kill germs. She had also decided that the moistened medicated toilet wipes were a good idea to try.
Both were left on top of the loo systern and I was told the ones in the yellow flowery packaging are for the seat while the ones in the blue wrapper are for your bottom!
Suffice it to say you'd only ever get it wrong once! It was agony. Worse than the morning after the hottest curry on the planet

RFLMAO I'm sorry but that just made me laugh so much
