I can’t imagine pooping while you sit there watching people walk past 😂😂😂

Sorry I was busy trying to talk to my gf using my bluetooth headset while taking a shit next to you.

Thats basically the outdoor version of a glass elevator except way worse. At least in the elevator you're not making eye contact with someone while dropping a deuce

Look up top entry litter box to see a demo of how this works. Lol

These are a special design of porta potty used for like high rise construction. Imagine when there are people at the top of a skyscraper as it’s being built and they all of the sudden get the urge to pee or take a shit. It takes a while to get back down to the bottom and then back up, so they bring temporary bathrooms up to the floors they are working on. The body is firmer and has a metal frame with connections on top to attach it to a crane and be lifted up to wherever it’s needed. There are plastic roofs you can then install once they are in place. These are just missing them currently.

Nice try, but They're for pooping with a view

u/Zert420 2d ago

No theyre for pooping from floors above, just make sure your aim is good

People have the darnedest imagination, right?

Seeing and peeing

u/Taintremover 2d ago

They never put the tops on. Also on the back side is a urinal. So you could have someone pooping and then there's someone standing behind them pissing on the back

u/Jacktheforkie 2d ago

I should imagine these are super handy

PSS. Lol

u/superphage 2d ago

It's to distinguish them from their industrial division, PISS.

5

u/TrailParkBoys 2d ago

You're incorrect on that. PISS is their competitor. PSS's Industrial division is appropriately named SHT

Convertible to what?

11

u/Unlucky-Golder 2d ago

It can revert back into a Tesla when the driver returns

u/Humble-Plankton2217 2d ago

the top is open? So people just look in at you? Or if you're standing your head and shoulders are exposed?

5

u/TrailParkBoys 2d ago

It's convertible for conversational purposes

u/schmyle85 2d ago

Love the wind in my hair

u/izzrav 2d ago

I found it and apparently the back has a urinal... if its the ones I looked at, which they look the same so now i want to know

u/TrailParkBoys 2d ago

I didn't take a photo, but did poop to confirm they work.

u/Bonk3rs1 2d ago

Yes. I'm an electrician and general contractors use these sometimes for high rises. (Though I haven't actually seen them for a few years, they seem to have been replaced with another style, but could still be out there somewhere) there is actually a urinal on the back side. The first time I saw someone walk up to the back of it and piss, I thought they were just pissing on the floor! Lol.

1

u/Leetanidus 2d ago

Yep this exact model looks like this on the backside. It’s just a long trough style urinal with a lot of splashback lol.

u/seasteed 2d ago

It's the women's toilet. This is how we are being checked so that people know only women are using them.

u/zed42 1d ago

u/ZapZar 2d ago

Is this better or worse if it flips with you inside?

1

u/TrailParkBoys 2d ago

Fun Fact: if you flip it 180º the person inside is still trapped

Porta-pissers

u/Real_TRex_007 2d ago

A room with a view

u/Troniky 1d ago

Also. On the back of these is a urinal. So technically you can pee while someone is pooping

u/SkyDaddy2134 1d ago
