Another inconsiderate RVer rant

I agree with the original poster. The man should have used the toilet in the rv or gone to the rest room in the campground. Who wants to have the smell of urine coming in the windows when the temp rises. In the woods is an entirely different situation.

Actually in some states it's a big deal. MI state trooper stopped one of our drivers "cooling a tire" on the side of the road. Told the driver he could write him up for public urination / exposure, which would get you on the sex offenders registry in MI for 25 years or he could write him up for littering. Driver asked for the littering ticket.

Way too many laws.....

You sure he wasn't wrestling one of those big pythons I keep seeing on T.V?I guess you watched long enough to identify and make sure of his site.Good for you.

I remember a worse case a few years back, here in Texas, which was a case of a drunk "watering" a wall. A school bus passed by. The result was 25 charges of indecency with a child, and last time I heard, several hundred years in prison (due to the judge sentencing the guy to consecutive time, not to mention throwing the three strikes law at the defendant.)

Put me down for X 4
I'm also surprised at most of the responses. It might be "natural" out in the middle of the woods somewhere, but it shouldn't be acceptable behavior in a mobile home/RV park.

Put me in the civilized group too. ;)

Was camping in a city park in a mid sized city. Campers were a mixture of tent and RV. The campsite next to us had two tents occupied by ~12 men and boys. They were all too lazy to walk to the restroom, about 50 ft away. I ignored them until the campsite across from both of us had a children's birthday party, and these (?) men continued to urinate in public in front of the children. We moved and I reported the behaviour to the camphost.

Now I have no objection to answering the call of nature if you're in nature. Would have had no objection if they were only watering the trees at night either. But doing it less than 10 feet away from a children's birthday party is a bit too much.

And don't think that only applies to the male gender.I was a golf marshal and players assistant for 8 years after I retired so spent many hours on the course and believe me I SAW it all.Used to laugh, the guys faced the trees the gals crouched with their back to it.

True story. Friend of mine is a cop (many such friends, hazard of dispatching them) tells of stopping and ticketing a drunk who was "Urinating in public"

Man was doing a good job of filling up his shoes (did not shoot very far) And they were very expensive (I think he said Alligator" shoes.

Oh well.. That's part of the reason I'm a coffee-holic.

Oh yes, that is against the law.

It is illegal!, jim
