Do other women pee outside to avoid the sick gas station bathrooms?

I hate disgusting dirty and diseased public gas station bathrooms, that you have to ask a man to get a key then walk outside to. When traveling and we stop at a gas station I even pee outside to avoid them! I walk behind of the gas station, sqwat up against the wall for balance and just pee beside the building. What do you do to avoid these sick bathrooms, for you or your daughters?

1. Use Tim Hortons washroom. Lot more better than gas station ones..
2. Ha!! I have peed too outside!! There is nothing wrong with it, unless someone sees you!! =) Why should you go in a dirty ass smelly bathroom that will make you throw up???!!! Just make sure no one see 's you!! I do it all the time!!
3. I'd rather go in a bathroom. Some of the bathrooms I've been in were kinda dirty, but not gross enough to where you couldn't possibly go in it, unless it's a porta-potty. I can't stand those things.
4. I dont like to use public restrooms but i cant say that i would rather pee outside.
5. I go in them.. its better than nothing like you seem to be doing. No offence also they sell emergency blow up toilettes... i guess you could use one of those.
6. You do what you got to do sometimes ....literally ! I would try to go to rest stops and restaurants, if possible, rather than gas stations. Some gas stations are just so nasty.
7. this is not a parenting question...
8. Sometimes if the ladys room is bad, I will check the mens room. Most of the time the mens room is cleaner. I get looks sometimes. But I get to use a cleaner bathroom! I don't go outside... except if we are driving through the woods... which happens here in New Hampshire.
9. I agree with the one who said, restaurants and diners. I can't stand gas stations. I would rather hold it, and wait for a restaurant/diner. As for outside, if I really had to, I guess I would, as long as I know no one was around to watch me. That would be creepy.
10. Puh-Lease. Curse the people who will call you disgusting. I've learned that trick from my grandma when I was younger. Sometimes, we'd travel through the state and not be near any sort of bathroom. So, she'd pull over, opened the passenger's door and backseat door and I'd squat and pee. Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
11. I try to stop at other places to use a restroom. Try a restuarant, a mall, etc. Just avoid the dirty gas stations. Stop at ones that cater to travelers. They usually have cleaner bathrooms.
12. i hold it until we get to somewhere decent
13. Yes I sure have done that when I have run into the situation. My kids have laughed at me for doing this, but now my daughter agrees with me. If you stay on the interstate I have found the major oil service stations are pretty clean. The other choice where I stop most of the time is McDonald's or Burger King. Fast food restaurants generally have pretty clean restrooms.
14. Peeing outside is fine and all, but don't pee on someone's building! It's their property, not yours. Use a tree instead, that's what they are there for.
15. Oh,when I went to Florida last year, there were some places that are good bathroom quality guarenteed, and if it wasn't to your taste, all you had to do was tell them and they'd clean it. However, there was this one place that was just absolutely disgusting. So, I guess it depends. I usually go before I leave the house and hold it, but I wouldn't go to one if it was just plain out disgusting.
16. Yes,sometimes it´s better for you and your kids to go outside,or you´ll get some kind of illness....
