Chad Love: The Creepy Crapshack Story Contest

By Chad Love

Yesterday was snowy, wet and thoroughly miserable. Looks like the marmot was right. A perfect day to stay inside. So I loaded up the dogs and went quail hunting. As I was driving to my hunting spot I passed the intersection in the photo below. Just a lonely, little-traveled county road junction way out in the back of beyond. No stoplight, no traffic, and definitely no random porta-potty abandoned in the middle of the intersection.

But on my way back, there it was, smack in the middle of the road. Did someone lose it? Did they get tired of hauling it around and decided that this junction was as good a place as any? Was it, you know, used? (I didn’t find out). Was it a protest statement about the condition of my state's public roads? Maybe an anonymous philanthropic gesture toward us Johnless late-season public-land quail hunters?
 
I didn't know, and I'd read way too many Stephen King novels as a child to even think about opening the door. To me, mysterious crapshack on lonely county road screams "really bad way to die" so I snapped this picture, got back in my truck and got the hell out of there.
 
So here's my question: was there a perfectly reasonable explanation for this picture, or did I narrowly escape some malevolent evil spirit that lures hunters to their doom? Let's hear your stories ...

The rational explanation is that someone is about to start a road project or something related to one near that intersection. In a few days you'll probably see a stack of those sawhorse barricades with lights and a few road signs stacked nearby as well. After that, the backhoes, and then......

Was the trailer in road shape? flat tire, broken hitch, etc? then my next thought would be a prank. Someone towing this trailer stopped at a store and the pranksters took it and dropped it off where it would be found.
Something evil would not cross my mind,after all it is a potty.....

I'm pretty sure Mike Diehl has the logical answer correct. Odds are there is some sort of project about to start near this intersection and they have brought the most important equipment for the job site first. If that's not the answer, this story will likely get significantly more interesting.

I don't think it's a road crew project. Never seen them leave toilets on the trailer. That is a nice trailer and I'm surprised it's still there! The trailer is obviously made for the john so I don't think it was a case of anybody pulling a prank (and again, why would they leave their own trailer?). I'm guessing it was either someone ripped off the john and then dumped it before they got caught or a mechanical issue with either the truck or trailer. The tracks make it pretty clear that the john didn't come unhitched (it would have wandered outside of the truck's tracks). More than likely a bearing seized in the trailer and the guy went back to town to get another one. Those tiny-wheeled trailers go through bearings faster than I use up jockey shorts. And these days my shorts don't last very long. Too much time on my butt in front of a computer.

The simplest answer is usually the correct one, but never the funniest.

The real story? Some local yokels (all with wicked senses of humor) waited until he who holds his liquor the poorest passed out. Then placed said buddy in pictured porta-john and drove it as near as they could to the middle of nowhere.

Let this be a lesson to us all. Never, ever be the first one to pass out.

Tired of stopping the old pickup every 20 minutes so that his very pregnant wife, Bobbie Sue, could use the facilities, Billy Bob decided to expedite the trip by taking the facilities with them.

Purloining a potty from a vacant construction site seemed to be the answer.

His brilliant solution to her problem was obviously not appreciated when, after the third trip to the john, Bobbie Sue declared that she had crawled through the rear window, across the bed of the truck and over the tongue of the trailer at 55 mph for the last time. She would no longer be using their portable potty!

Begrudgingly, Billy Bob Pulled to the side of the road, unhooked the little trailer and watched it disappear in the rear view mirror as they continued their journey.

On the road Lisa Nowak (The NASA astronaut who allegedly tried to kidnap a woman involved in a bizarre love triangle with another astronaut) had the porta-potty she was towing come unhooked from her vehicle. She did not notice it until she was half way to Orlando. When police arrested Nowak for assault and attempted kidnapping of Colleen Shipman she was carrying a bag and inside the officer found a tan trench coat, a new steel mallet, a new folding knife with a 4-inch blade, 3 to 4 feet of rubber tubing, several large plastic garbage bags and about $600 in cash. Inside her car, police found an a half dozen latex gloves, MapQuest directions from Houston to Orlando International Airport, e-mails from Shipman to Oefelein, ( Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman, who she believed was her rival for Oefelein's affections) and diapers Nowak said she wore to reduce stops along the highway after losing the porta-potty and a letter indicating how much she loved Oefelein.

It felt like a nightmare! As waking up took over from sleeping and consciousness replaced unconsciousness, Thomas wanted to puke. The last nine months passed quickly. A good portion of the world’s population…gone; like sand sifted through a sieve, only the sieve was the walking death! It’s just a virus they all said; CNN, ABC, NBC, and even the venerable FOX news played it down. They played it all right until there were no news anchors left to play anything. Whoever didn’t catch the virus and become one of them was torn up and eaten by the ones that did.

Now it’s winter and the mid west with its wide open plains was a safe bet simply because it was so big and expansive. The droolers don’t move so well when its cold. Many haven’t been spotted out here because there was no reason for them to be here. No food! Oh yeah some of them managed to stagger out here – “how your guess is as good as mine” – but those droolers were dispatched promptly and without ceremony.

Tom found this house just as winter was announcing its presence. The owners or whatever occupants that lived here had left during the great panic. Tom supposed they probably thought it would be safer to be with other immune people, misery seeks company, that’s what his granpa used to say.

That the house and property bisected a fork on a road that apparently nobody… nobody that was left that is… ever used mattered little. A person could observe anyone or anything coming from miles away.

Tom got out of bed and stretched. He went to the window to see if the snow that started around midnight was going to amount to anything. When he bent the blinds open so he could see he froze. Sweat began to bead on the back of his neck and forehead even though the temperature in the little house was rather cool. He felt weak in the legs in that way one feels when they have just missed being in a very serious accident; the kind where you get this carnival ride feeling in your stomach.

Sitting almost at the point on the lot where the two roads make a fork is a trailer. Sitting on the trailer is a pot-o-potty just like the ones that magically appear before every new residential subdivision starts construction.

It wasn’t there last night, Tom was sure of it and he was a light sleeper; well almost a light sleeper. The fact is anyone dropping off a trailer is going to make noise, what with the unhooking the trailer chains, lifting off the trailer tongue, not to mention slamming truck doors getting in and out of the truck that towed it. That much noise would wake the dead. Well all the dead that wasn’t droolers anyway. Tom was pretty sure that droolers had no need of a portable toilet. The question remained…how did it get here?

Once while trout fishing in spring 2008 for brown trout in the Southern part of West Virginia I crapped in a toilet that was one hole that had been used by a number of fishermen before me, but had poetry all over the walls. It was a big box beside an embankment, so you couldn't see inside from the other side, and there was a poem that stood out right near the toilet paper. It looked like it was written by a 10 year old, and was full of misspellings. I definitely would have taken a crap in the woods and covered it up had I had the choice after seeign what I saw.

The fact is anyone dropping off a trailer is going to make noise, what with the unhooking the trailer chains, lifting off the trailer tongue, not to mention slamming truck doors getting in and out of the truck that towed it. That much noise would wake the dead. Well all the dead that wasn’t droolers anyway. Tom was pretty sure that droolers had no need of a portable toilet. The question remained…how did it get here?

"The tale that turned out to be a nasty spirit who makes his home on The Creepy Crapshack"! The notion of potty-dwelling monsters who reach out and grab you when you’re at your most vulnerable stage of taking a Cr*p of your Life!!!

I'm surprised that no one has stolen it, stripped it, and turned it into an ice fishing shack replete with trailor.

The owner was left on the throne when the truck towing his porta-john got stolen and drove away.

Someone took one for the road in case they had to number two on the road.

You don't realize how creepy it was and how narrow your escape. That is yo yo's new home, after he moved from under the rock.

I guess it's a good thing that people with the label "REDNECK" have thick skin and don't resort to name calling everytime a silly situation arises.

Once while trout fishing in spring 2008 for brown trout in the Southern part of West Virginia I crapped in a toilet that was one hole that had been used by a number of fishermen before me, but had poetry all over the walls. It was a big box beside an embankment, so you couldn't see inside from the other side, and there was a poem that stood out right near the toilet paper. It looked like it was written by a 10 year old, and was full of misspellings. I definitely would have taken a crap in the woods and covered it up had I had the choice after seeign what I saw.
