Port-a-Potty Wisdom, Part 1

If your mission requires toilet tissue, always check the roll to be certain it hasn't run empty.

You can wipe down the seat with a damp paper towel. If you remember to take a damp paper towel with you.

The floor is frequently damp with mud or worse, so hang your trousers on the coathook provided, rather than dangle them around your ankles. In case the coathook is missing or broken, MacGyver would unfold a sturdy paper clip as an improvised replacement.

There is no upside to looking down in the hole, so don't.

If you have a choice, prefer the pot nearest the lamp pole at night. The toilet's roof is translucent and your aim will be appreciably better in a better-lit compartment.

The concert-area cans are cleaned and emptied right before the gates open, so your best odds for a clean and stank-free toilet are before the concerts begin.

Be thoughtful of nearby listeners and DON'T let the door slam on your exit.
