Two-seater

I’ve never met anyone who actually built a multi-seat shitter. I’ve seen multiple multi-seaters so I know it’s not one lonely builder, looking for companionship. I also don’t believe there is a proper training course where they teach you proper design and construction of shitters.

So from where does this phenomena derive? It’s obviously handed down from the past, when most people had outdoor shitters. Was the multi-seat shitter the pre-cursor to the multi-bathroom McMansion? A family in the 19th century, gives birth to multiple daughters and they’re all competing for a little bathroom time together?

It’s all very confusing and illogical to me. But last weekend, I again found myself sitting, alone, in the woods in a little box in the woods. And it had two holes. Sitting there, I considered inviting my friend Bob, brother Super Dave or one of my other woodsy relatives to join me. But after hearing Super Dave regale me with tales of “I gave birth in there”, I decided that sitting next to him during his time of great delivery may actually inhibit my process.

So the mystery remains. Has anyone every shat in harmony together in a wooden box?

  • I would also point out that the pictured shitter was a 'double two-holer'. Two holes behind each of the two doors. I tend to overbuild things; but this is a bit much...
