Portable toilet tipping
Portable Toilet tipping (also known by the various names for portable toilets, such as port-a-potty tipping) is a practical joke in which participants sneak up on an occupied portable toilet and tip it over for amusement. The person within is then covered in materials spilled from the containment area below. Portable toilet tipping is also sometimes performed on an unoccupied portable toilet; because no specific person is the object of harm in this scenario, it is more accurate to consider tipping over an unoccupied portable toilet to be vandalism than a practical joke.
Portable toilet tipping can create a health hazard, and can be extremely dangerous. If an occupied portable toilet is tipped over door-side down, the occupant can become trapped inside in a puddle of human waste.
