There was only one indoor bathroom in my grandfather's house in Nebraska, and there were a LOT of people there, all the time. Once, my grandmother was in the bathroom, camped out, and I REALLY had to go.
I asked my mother what to do and she told me to use the outhouse next to the barn. I asked her what to use for toilet paper and she told me to use a CORN COB. The only corn cobs were the old dried up ones that my grandfather had used to give him traction on the mud in the barnyard, and they were crawling with ants. I thought to myself...OW!!!
I got out to the outhouse, looked up from my seat, and saw this!
He was just hanging up in the corner, obviously looking for something to eat. THEN I started wondering what was right underneath my bum!!!!! I got out of there in a hurry. My mother refused to believe that there was a scorpion in the outhouse.
I also used an outhouse again when I was married for the second time. We used to go to the family cabin up in Maine, and of course there was an outhouse there, too. No scorpions, thankfully.
@4meAndyou Even if it doesn't kill you, they look like something that could cause pain. Caught them as a kid, managed to never get stung.😅 Scorpions are high on the creepy scale.
