this is the old outhouse and boy!!!!! my butt was always cold on a metal seat! i remember useing my hands to sit down on or not sit down at all! i would get close enough to the seat and at age 5-7 during the cold days camping out....that;s how i would poop! i hated that seat. you can see it. the wind knocked it over i think. the out house is on it's side in the picture. that's the same toilet i'm talking about. it's still there after all these years!
I've never had that experience as a kid, I've always sat on normal toilets to poop. I'm glad, I don't want to sit on a cold seat or a toilet that doesn't have the option of flushing, and I don't like the smell of my own poop, I wouldn't be able to use an outhouse because of that.
Gross, disease ridden flies, and I bet they tried to fly into your butt when you were pooping too, that wouldn't be fun when you're in the middle of wiping. that reminds me of the time I ate at Venezia's pizza that was just recently, I was drinking my soda and I had to pee, but then I decided I should poop too, so I went into the bathroom, and pulled down my pants and boxers and began to poop, (it was a small bathroom and there was one toilet, the seat was comfy on my butt, and you flushed the toilet using a normal handle). when I was done, and I got some toilet paper to wipe myself, I saw a roach, luckly, it was dead. but I wasn't going to take the chance. so I quickly wiped my butt, flushed, pulled up my boxers and pants, washed my hands, and went back to eat. wow, as males we have some interesting potty times, and you got to use one of the oldest toilets, the outhouse, that one has been around since the middle ages. I've always wanted to use the good old pull-chain toilet, you know about that one? I also want to potty train my future son on a pull-chain toilet.
Oh, it was close to the door, that was not fun for me. I probably would have just got up without wiping and pulled my pants up if that thing had been alive. Those things are disgusting.
I've seen so many of those vermin, they used to just show up out of nowhere in our house, But, those, were sewer roaches, way worse than roaches. Me and my mom, would get freaked out, when we saw them, because they are big slender roaches, that can compress their bodies to fit under a door, and they come from plumbing, no, before you ask, we've never had one pop out of the toilet. but, If you've ever had plumbing done, you'll know what i'm talking about. Anyway, that doesn't sound like fun, a cold metal seat, and you had to sit on your hands, which were also cold i'm guessing. You probably didn't know it at the time, because you were little, but could you imagine all the butt germs that were on that seat? I mean, I know you sat on your hands, but your hands touched the seat. I understand though, you had no choice, I mean, you could've taken a roll of toilet paper and squated behind a bush to poop, but then your butt and privates would have been exposed to the cold air, and you would risk someone seeing you. At least with an outhouse, you have privacy, but you're trapped with the overwhelming smell of poop and flies buzzing around you.
oh god, if that had been the case, I would have just held it. I've got a question, what would freak you out more, flies buzzing around you while you're pooping, or a live roach trying to crawl into your butt, while you're sitting on the toilet pooping? No, before you ask, the roach thing hasn't happened to me. I'm just asking.
so, once you get frozen to it - shit!!! or what? phew... i remember the old outhouse at my aunt's. it was blasting cold to go there in winter - with ice flowers on the windows...
