    Maybe it needs to modified to the "3 Bucket Method"?

    Re: going to the washroom...mobile guys

    I bring a Gatoraid bottle. If the car is in the driveway, I'll raise the hood, so no one can see in the windshield, and sit in the driver's seat to handle my business. I can look underneath the bottom of the raised hood and make sure no one is approaching from the front while keeping my eye on the rear view mirror and making sure no one is approaching from the rear. If I had to drop a deuce, I'd definitely run to the nearest gas station.

    Come to think of it, every detail I've been on the customer always just shows me where it is I never even have to ask. Ish, half the details I do the customers leave to go do other things when I'm half way done with the job!

    I'd hate to be in mid-stream, as it were, & have somebody bearing down on me. Only two explanations I can think of for that. And hopefully they believe the first one.

    Please tell me you're not doing this in the customer's car.

    Sitting in a car and peeing in a Gatorade bottle is obviously much more professional than politely asking the customer "may I use your bathroom."

    I just don't understand how people think sometimes...

    I don't do very many mobile jobs these days (2-3 a year) but, when I do I have been VERY lucky to have VERY hospitable customers/hosts. If/when I do go mobile it is ONLY for 14 plus hours of work so the clients this far have just expected me to be using their restrooms.

    I pack a lunch and eat it on site so handling business when on lunch break doest work for me.

    Some have gone as far as to say "If you get hungry come on in and help yourself to anything"
