SSSSS : Another day, another shitty Exxon
Everytime I pull off the freeway for a pit stop the anticipation rises. Is this going to be like that place in Waco? Or will it be a nice station like the Valero at Great Hills and Braker? Recently, I've been overwhelmed by NICE GAS STATIONS. Seriously, it's like they have people, you know, actually cleaning the shit and vomit off the toilets almost as it erupts from someone.
Not at all what I'd learned to expect from service stations in Texas. I began to think my luck had changed, that somehow SSSSS had purged the curse that made my constant stops to pee a miserable testament to just how nasty guys can be. Then I happened upon this jewel, the Exxon at Solms Rd and the 35 in New Braunfels. OR San Antonio. No one really knows were one ends and the other begins.
Here is a map so you can avoid it in your travels. Officially, the address is 4340 S IH 35. However, I can tell you... it's the only structure at the intersection of the 35 and Solms Rd. You can't miss it, should you be in the neighborhood. As a side note, the people inside were VERY nice and tried to make up for the horrendous state of the station. Almost seems mean to rip on their station but honestly you need to be warned... and I got all these great pics!
Here's the front of the place
Tasteful, isn't it? Let's jump right in, shall we...
The door to the mens (and, I might mention, LADIES as well) room. The lock doesn't work. For it to work, the door would have to shut completely. That wasn't happening on this particular visit.
I thought about killing it as I hate spiders. I decided to let it live. So sad and pathetic that it called this home.
The toilet (recently used, natch). Guys... seriously. FUCKING FLUSH. It's less than 2 seconds out of your day you slobs.
Can you read that? Neither can I. Write LEGIBLY you mooks.
Oh... blow jobs and gays. Yep. This is definitely Hicksville, TX. The only people more obsessed than gay men with sucking cock are rednecks and preachers.
No paper towels. IN EITHER DISPENSER. Not that it would have really mattered since there was no soap. I opted for a handiwipe when I got back in my car.
This was a bad one but not nearly as bad as some of the ones I've been to. At least this time I didn't have to destroy my shoes because the floor was a puddle. What, like you've never done that?

If I posted something like this, what do you think would happen to me?

Philip would disagree and say that he thought it was a perfectly nice restroom.

When is this blog getting its scratch 'n' sniff upgrade?

Trust me, when the McBlogger VP of Engineering and Creating Babies creates a scratch and sniff tag, I will not be using it for SSSSS posts.
