Hitching A Hint From Dad

I am about to leave on a long-distance trip, during which I will be living in my SUV. My dad has offered to help set it up for the trip by removing the back seats, adding stowable tables, etc., to which I happily agree. I leave my SUV with him for a month before my trip, as I live hours away.

When I am ready to head out, I have a friend drop me at my parents’ house. No one is home, so I start loading up my belongings, when I notice something odd. My dad has taken out the passenger seat and replaced it with a chemical toilet! I am appalled!

Years later, I realized this was probably his “subtle” way of making sure I didn’t pick up hitchhikers (which I would never do).
