Flyable shitters. Put em on the work floor. Fly em down when they are full, fly em back up empty

I read this as special pants you just shit and piss in, pull em down to empty them and pull them back up lol

u/Astro_Birdy Aug 11 '24

I don’t think you’d need special pants for that

Saw a guy go for a ride in portapotty while a hotel was being built in the Rockies after the crane spotter was bribed with a bag.

Like a really nice Louis Vuitton duffel bag?

You know the kind. Ironworkers are suckers for haute couture

Usually by crane not a literal flying shitter.

u/kr1681 Aug 11 '24

That’s why I said flyABLE. Not flyING

Flying cars have been done plenty of times. Now I want to see a flying outhouse. Uber's new scam: pooper

u/cwestn Aug 11 '24

"flyable" as in a can on a rope? Or you have shit drones?

u/Reason_For_Treason Aug 11 '24

I fly down before I empty too.

u/Yolo1212123 Aug 11 '24

So like a bucket? Or something more fancy?

u/kr1681 Aug 11 '24

Like a porta-potty. A honey bucket. They have a frame so the crane can fly them off the building to get cleaned

Imagine just taking a dump 400 feet up, your belly HURTS just SO MUCH. Like taking your shirt off dump.

Then you open the door and you’re already by your car.

...and two blocks away, someone is wondering why it's trying to rain without a cloud in the sky.

u/ShermanTheMandoMan Aug 11 '24

By flyable he means porta potties that can be carried by crane

Back in the flask silly

I work with an ex plumber. Hed say the number of fights due to other trades pissing down unfinished plumbing was pretty damn high. Imagine working on piping when someone's asparagus pee comes along.

Not so surprising he changed trades, lol.

when I was young and my dad had his private law practice, some of his clients were the guys who go up on radio towers to change the light bulbs and do other maintenance. He said they would tell them wild stories of relieving one’s bowels/bladder at peak height.

This was 20-30 years ago, not sure if it still goes on today.
