The Ugly Side of Convoy

Mercy sakes alive, it looks like we got ourselves a . . . bottle full of urine. Link.

A few excerpts from an article about a problem that plagues roadways: Trucker bombs, plastic jugs full of urine tossed by truckers, who don't want to make a stop:

The state [of Washington] hasn't counted how many such jugs are found each year, but a single, small county decided to do its own tally. "In one year," Warfield says, "one crew found 2,666 bottles of urine . . .".

We love this paragraph:

It even happens at rest stops. "That's the mystery," Warfield says. "There's a bathroom right there, there's also a trash can."

Hey man, once you experience the thrill of urinating in a plastic jug, it's hard to resist. It might even be an addiction, which qualifies for protection under the Americans with Disabilities Act. We'd argue that plastic jugs are a reasonable accommodation.
