I took my TT to the local dump station here in Rexburg, ID and as I pulled up there was a TT in front of me just getting ready to dump. The guys wife takes a 4x4 and pushes on the sewer cap to open it. I figured she just did not want to get down on the ground and smell that stuff. Then her husband reaches down under the TT and pulls the black tank valve and it goes everywhere, including his wifes feet. It floods the area quickly to about 3 inches deep of black tank stuff. I could not believe what he just did. I wish I had a camera with me so I could have posted a pic of this couple doing this dirty deed. Once the tank is empty he takes the hose and pretends to spray off some of the area. I took a good 30 min and cleaned the area the best I could before pulling up and feeling safe enough to dump mine. I could not believe it. It was not like they were no capable of doing it right, by using a stinky slinky, but they did not. Some people make it hard on all of us. Why cant people be considerate of others. Shame on them and I hope they read this post so they can see how disgusting they are. Thanks for letting me vent a little.

I should hope they're not members here on the Open Road Forums. I would have immediately gotten in touch with whoever was in charge of the dump station.

I would have stood in front of their truck until it was cleaned up.

Chances are they simply didn't know any better, probably because nobody had ever taken the time to explain how it should be done.
You had the chance to educate them.
When you refuse to be part of the solution, you become part of the problem.
Then again, perhaps they were just slobs. No amount of education would help, in that case.

I agree with mowermech, everyone assumes they do this on purpose. What a cynical view of people, give them th ebenifit of the doubt. To the OP, you should be ashamed for wanting to post pictures and riducule this person, whats you agenda there?.

since they obviously weren't mental giants, it is hard to tell what they might have done if confronted. Might have gotten yourself into a bunch of whupass.
