What's the story behind man-pee stans, I was dying to read that but it wasn't in the piece. Loved the metal box story.

Hahaha Neera!! We were at a beach party where there was no bathroom for women so we were trying to prove a point that men can pee anywhere, and we wish we had the same privilege 😂😂

That was the best funniest shot I have ever seen. I think I am going to imitate that with my friends. 😃😃😃

It has always been one of my favorite travel photos! I'm looking forward to chatting with you tonight!

Same here. Reading your post at a leisurely breakfast at the resort I own 😃 before going for a rain shower in the bathroom of the size of a bedroom.

I was once at a resort that closed everything at 10 p.m. And I mean everything. We had to put in a special request for water. Could've used a box that night...

This was a fun read!

Wow that sounds like a lame resort! What country were you in?

I went there for a corporate retreat, and the resort was in India (I live here).

In this case, I think it was a result of faulty policy.

Haha. It looks like a bank drive thru or my Walgreens pharmacy pick up. If only I could get some chips with my deposit, a bag of peanuts with my thyroid medication. Hehe.

Oh wow, we don’t have drive-thru pharmacies here! I wish I could get my Synthroid to go 😁

You're a synthroid sistah!

Yes ma'am!! I'm in the 100 mg club 😂

I’m 112. Are you in the Hashi club?

As in Hashimoto? I don't think so. I'd know if I was, right?

Doc would have to test your antibodies. If you still have symptoms of hypo and your blood work is "normal" then you might want to have your antibodies tested. Hope you're feeling good. 🙏🏻

Lol, exactly like the part of Belize we stayed in 5 years ago. I was too nervous to get a photo! Love the man stance!

I figured that other Caribbean countries must have this kind of thing. This can't be the only one who ever had the idea 😁

Yelling into a slot you can't see through to get a lazy guy to get you food? Sounds like the bad old days of communist Europe.

You at least did not have to place your order through the ridiculously bad sound systems most restaurants have for their drive-thrus. That would have added yet another level of confusion....

I would love to be in the guy's head who is on the other side of the box. Is he thinking this is just another day at the office or is he saying every swear word he knows about these clowns outside? I would imagine this would be a regular occurrence for him in the middle of the night. Hopefully, he worked his way up to day shift!

A hilarious and wonderful treat for us Kristi. Thank you for this gift given everything on your plate this week❤

Lol I'm laughing at "working his way up to the day shift." I think a car full of drunk foreigners doesn't happen very often at the box. Maybe this was the highlight of his work week 😁

Thanks for always showing up, Donna! And Merry Christmas!

I know this story is 100% true, not because of the pics, but because this is the kind of thing you absolutely could not make up. Wonderful.

Expand full comment

Hahaha definitely can't make this kind of stuff up. It's so random. And the funny thing is I had driven past this station a million times without knowing that box existed until the night I drove past with my police friend.

This is so. Freaking. Amazing. THIS is why I love travel ❤️

Expand full comment

Right!!!! I have SO many of the most random funny travel stories. It's friggin amazing to see what other cultures consider normal 😁

Talk about extreme security. Other than the darkness, it would make a good scene for a movie about after the apocalypse, when you’re worried about zombies but you still wanna run your store lol

Expand full comment

Now that would fit in perfectly with The Walking Dead 😂

The area around this gas station is pretty desolate, I can see why they want the security but it's weird that they even cared about after hours shoppers enough to install this lol.

What the hell?! 😂 This sounds like some prohibition era illicit snack smuggling operation! If the guy inside has to wake up anyway, why wouldn't he just open the doors for a couple of minutes. Or at least take that screen off the window! 🤣😂

Expand full comment

😂😂 Prohibition Era lol!!! It does, doesn't it?

I think the whole thing is obviously for security purposes but still, it's so ghetto in a way. They could at least put in a window. 😁

Yeah, it's super sketchy! Good thinking in sweet talking that officer into doing your dirty work! 😆
