NASCAR Camping Pet Peeves at the "Porta Shower" Trailers

NASCAR infield camping weekends can be one of the most fun things you can do.  However, several things can make a good weekend go bad
by a few inconsiderate "attendees".

Most tracks provide mobile "Porta Shower" trailers in several locations so campers can "get cleaned up".  RVs have limited size fresh & black water tanks, while tent campers have nothing and rely on this resource more than most.

Let me state for the record that I am VERY grateful they have these showers at the track, and in NO WAY do I blame the Porta Shower operators or attendants.

SEVEN - "Porta Shower" NASCAR camping pet peeves:

1. As refreshing as it is to wash off the dirt, sweat and grime - "HELLO, this isn't a "Turkish Bath"!  Why are people spending 30+ minutes taking a shower?  Get in & Get out!  Brush your hair & put your make-up on back at camp.

2.  When you leave the showers, let the person next in line know which stall you just used.  So in the event you closed the shower curtain, we DON'T look like pervs trying to see which stall you left empty.  Better yet, just leave the shower curtain OPEN.  

3. If you're told which shower stall is available, don't go to a different stall as someone else leaves, otherwise you could get a visitor by the next in line.

4. Take your filthy pube infested, slimy bar of soap, brown stained underwear and empty shampoo bottles with you. It's a shower, NOT a dumpster! Enough said!

 5. Snake the line in a direction that stays out of the way of a main path or intersection.  Making others have to ask you to get by you is just rude.  If the line is going through a main path, leave a big enough opening for people to get through. Common courtesy people!

6.  If the showers are set up next to the bathrooms - Please DON'T wash you nasty head and face in the drinking fountain....That's just GROSS!  

7.  Wear shower shoes or flip flops!  No one wants to stand in your disease infected foot puddles.


I don't even know why these things need to be said, but some camping "attendees" need to know what our pet peeves are, as I have witnessed each of the above while at NASCAR.  

What are some of your NASCAR Infield camping pet peeves?
