There's a trucker whom I never met currently using mine..lol.
H and I bought a semi load of straw bales out of Canada and the truck shows up with them today. All 1,000 bales worth (use your imagination on how much that is..lol).
He actually helped us unload them all which was so nice and unexpected. We tipped him well, fed him lunch. He was all itchy and scratchy and sweaty and gross. I felt bad for him getting back in his truck that way so I offered him shower.
I'm sitting here waiting for him to get done now.
So far so good. Unless he's stealing Dial in there. Ha.

That's super nice of you. When we had horses at home I remember how itch and gross I felt after unloading hay. And we only got a ton at a time. You did a good thing.
From your header I assumed you meant just going pee, not an actual shower, lol. Can't say I've done either but, in this case, I would have done the same thing.
LOL. I hate messing with hay with a passion for the same reason. When I was a kid I used to do it in shorts and flip flops so I didn't mess up my tan. Yup, I was DUMB!
We've done that for the guy that drives the milk tanker, he's slipped a few times in the slop and we felt bad. Dad actually decided the next barn we build will have a shower in it, it's really nice to be able to shower in the barn after pulling calves or slipping in the mud bringing in horses.

I guess it's a farm thing
We had a shower in the barn... Most farms did. It was so nice to be able to rinse off when you were a mess.
And, oh, the hay. I itch just thinking about it. Dairy, you are so kind to let him shower. Just the thought of being hot and sweaty and itchy and getting back in a truck... Awful.

It's pretty un-common here, the only farms that have showers are the fancy hunter / jumper show barns. Most don't have bathrooms in the barn, they have a port-a-potty.
