In Finland, it seems that everything that is free to the public will be fucked up beyong recognition in a short time.
Though portapotties are pretty gruesome at times, finding a virgin one is cool. Now imagine a roadside rest area, with a large portable toilet hut with a separate urinal and toilet, that is planted firmly on to the ground. From the outside, it looks clean and inviting, especially if you have to take poke the turtle out in the middle of nowhere and there's still long ways to go.
Then you open the door. While the door shifts open, you feel like there was something on the inside of the handle. You look down at your hand. It is shit. Good ol' humanos feces. You are grossed out to the max by falling for such an "elaborate" prank, but you stride on in to at least get yourself cleaned up.
It's nighttime and it is pitch dark in February. There is a light socket in the roof. The bulb is smashed to bits on the floor. Still holding your brown-infested left hand ahead and away from the rest of your body, you reach out for your phone to help the screen light find your bearings in the pit of doom. The first thing you see is the urinal - it is full of shit and piss, clogged with toilet paper. A large truck drives by and the vibrations cause the hazardous poop juice to skew and spill on the floor a bit. Then you look on the floor. Ohhhhh shit.
Ever seen Trainspotting? The worst toilet in Scotland? The site before your eyes was infinitely worse than what was depicted in the film. For some reason, a sensory reaction of the putrid smell didn't hit your nose hairs until now. It reeks. It absolutely reeks and you can feel the pukey stomach acid climbing up and gurgling your throat, but you push it back. You think of your hand. You think of your need to shit, and now dismiss it completely. Paper. Water. Need.
You turn the light around and see the shimmer from the now-tagged soap dispenser. "PJ FO LYFE". Sure. It is now that you see a glimpse of the wall where the dispenser is attached to. It is smeared full of shit. All over. To you, it seems like some haphazard cave painting, as if someone who smears shit on walls actually tried to do something coherent with the idea. The puke is climbing and with every new discovery it seems the smell is getting worse.
Finally! The sink for washing your han... iiit's full of shit. Ok. This is getting out of hand. How can something like this happen in such a civilized and advanced country? What makes a person, who by all means is capable of love, empathy and joy, do something like this to his fellow man? Are these people normal in every other way and just happen to vent their seemingly twisted ideas into a roadside toilet in the middle of Buttfuck Hoo-Haa? Do they just go along with their day after smearing a shit circle on the wall and defecating in a wall urinal filled with gaudy remnants of urine?
Then I saw the toilet, as the stall door was slightly ajar. Words cannot describe the state it was in, but I'll say this: the pile of shit and paper rising from the bowl was higher that the back of the toilet. I turned away and walked back to my car. I asked my girlfriend to give me paper and to keep using the rinse mechanic for the windshield until I felt cleansed enough to not feel like Mr. Feceshand.
I'm never going to even think about entering one of those literal shitholes again.
