Septic Solutions: An Introduction

I recently bought a house with a septic tank for the very first time. I thought I was prepared, but I really had no idea what I was getting into. Shortly after we moved in, the septic tank backed up. I had to call for emergency septic services to have it pumped and taken care of. That's when I learned that I had overlooked some of the signs that the tank needed to be emptied. I created this site to share my experience and the tips that I learned along the way. My goal is to help others avoid the same septic problems that I have dealt with.

Humor Defuses The Psychological Awkwardness Of Rented Portable Toilets

by Camila Pena

It's safe to say that nobody is thrilled about having to use a portable restroom. Nevertheless, everyone appreciates the presence of these facilities when needed. When someone becomes interested in portable toilet rental for a one-time event, he or she might think of ways to defuse the psychological awkwardness with some relevant humorous quotes and images posted nearby. 

Types of Situations

An individual or family may want to provide extra bathrooms for an unusually large number of guests. A convenient way for people to wash or sanitize their hands also should be provided.

In some instances, permanent indoor equipment is available. However, so many people will attend the event that there would be long waits without the temporary portable restrooms. For instance, this could happen when a family reunion or wedding reception is held at a modest-sized home. Most houses can't easily accommodate more than 30 guests who spend the afternoon and evening drinking coffee, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and bottled water. 

In other cases, the event will be held at a place where there aren't any permanent facilities. Guests who need to relieve themselves would have to hop into a vehicle and head to the nearest wayside or convenience store. 

Providing Some Humor

Humor is an effective way to deal with situations that may feel awkward, such as having to use a portable bathroom. The slightly uncomfortable circumstances can be lightened up with amusing slogans and signs posted on or around the equipment. For example, the often-told joke about renting beer instead of selling it would make for a funny sign if that beverage is being provided. 

Signs with comical but inoffensive cartoons also are funny. An illustration of a man and woman standing side by side, holding knees together and showing facial expression of discomfort, is an example. That's a sure signal they are waiting for entry to a bathroom. The event planners might search online for amusing cartoons about portable restrooms specifically. They can print these images and post the cartoons inside or outside of the equipment. 

Getting Started 

Suppliers of temporary restrooms take pride in providing fully sanitized, well-maintained equipment. These bathrooms are very much like home half-baths, only smaller. Users may be reminded of restrooms on a charter bus or train.

Anyone who wants to have temporary facilities delivered and set up on their residential property or elsewhere may contact providers of the equipment. Prospective customers will need to find out whether local zoning allows portable toilets at this location. They also must learn how many are allowed and how long the bathrooms can be in place. Guests at the event will appreciate the portable bathrooms and the levity, even if they momentarily wish for the privacy of their own home.
