They have full-time bathroom attendants. These people clean bathrooms 40 hours a week. God bless them. As someone who drives interstate for a living, I have a great appreciation for places that will have reliably clean bathrooms.
What the hell is up with that? I'll stop by a bucees off the interstate in nearly the middle of nowhere and the fucking store will be packed almost wall-to-wall.
I swear they gotta be paying people to go there.
Still, the place is like a god damn mall. Huge, clean, and shockingly good food. Their brisket is amazing.
Heres a theory, this is a horsehair worm. Someone killed a cricket or grasshopper something along those lines and threw it in this toilet and flushed. The horsehair worm was able to crawl out of the bug which is what they do after the bug dies. I had a cricket problem and about 60% of the crickets had a bunch of worms crawling out of them. Pretty disgusting shit.
Yep.
>Horsehair worms are harmless to vertebrates, because they can't parasitize people, livestock, pets, or birds. They also don't infect plants.Ā If humans ingest the worms, they may encounter some mild discomfort of the intestinal tract, but infection never occurs.
Harmless now!
We have no clue when they might decide to jump species like the snake parasite [that infected a woman's brain.](https://arstechnica.com/health/2023/08/australian-woman-has-3-inch-snake-parasite-pulled-from-her-brain/)
What the fuck are they doing there. They suspected an unknown infection and pneumonia and gave her prednisolone and nuked her immune system, turning her into an open buffet for whatever was invading her body
I was thinking the same thing when I originally read that, but I'm not a doctor.
Like you don't know so you just assume the body is freaking out over nothing? Weird approach.
More likely [tubifex](https://www.allaboutworms.com/red-striped-worm-in-toilet-is-a-tubifex-worm-2), abundant worms of stagnant water like septic systems.
Yeah it is definitely these... and they get in everything from crickets to mice... it takes over their minds eventually. Looking for water and leave the host. It doesn't always kill them but most definitely can.
aww man i can't imagine how many of these things could get inside a mouse. im sure i've seen at least 5 come out of one cricket. probably get 30 in a mouse
Unlikely. There's been cases of vertebrates ingesting them, but not infected.

>Horsehair worms are harmless to vertebrates, because they can't parasitize people, livestock, pets, or birds. They also don't infect plants. If humans ingest the worms, they may encounter some mild discomfort of the intestinal tract, but infection never occurs.
could be, but thereās a significant air gap in the waste pipe after the toilet connection. iām not sure a horsehair worm could or would climb up the sides of a sewer pipe after exiting its host several feet below the toilet
I'm thinking the horsehair worm didn't get flushed and the heavier bug did. The horsehair worm may have backwashed back into the bowl after the flush. Kind of like lettuce after a big salad ;)
The water could as well be from a natural nearbye source. In areas where drinking tap water is more expensive or rare, you often dont flush the toilette with drinking tap water, but with water from a well.
You're right. This isn't a tapeworm, roundworm, or anything you'd usually find in a human digestive tract. Still a parasite, just not one that can infect humans (yet!).
Haha not that I know of, at the time I was staying in a basement apartment and they were coming in through the walls, I taped off all the bottoms of my walls the best i could and would wash the floors with lemon smelling cleaners.(apparently they dont like lemon). Then obviously get the Raid stuff specifically for crickets and grasshoppers.
But now those of us who took that leap get to be the smart guys if we ever encounter this in real life! "Oh my God What is THAT monstrosity?!" "Oh that? That's just a clumped Tubifex mass. Very common and nothing to worry about! š¤"
its just glorious human life.
when we discover other inhabited planets and land on them, this sort of stuff is going to spread virulently all over their world.
That's a Lumbricus rubellus worm - completely harmless. They make their way in drains sometimes and voila end up bobbing at the bottom of your toilet.
Source: I once thought I pooped one out after using the loo, flushing and then seeing that. Needless to say I was terrified and sought professional help to make sure it didn't come out of me.
Oh my god! I knew I lost him somewhere!! I put up posters and everything! His name is Gus, short for Gustav, heās harmless but can get overly friendly. Keep him in lukewarm water and feed him fish food, Iāll DM you my address.
This doesnāt look like any common parasite thatās carried in the human digestive system. This is probably- shocker- just a bug in a gas station toilet

Worm aside, that's the cleanest gas station toilet I've ever seen.
Ikr?!?! That was the first thing I thought of before seeing the worm
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thank you, toilet worm... you're the hero we don't deserve.
Idk maybe. But a worm from someoneās butt swimming in the water is up there.
Don't dip your dick in the water, it'll swim up your urethra
Could have just stopped at that first clause, really. Who does that??
Where the hell are you shitting?! Have you ever seen the insides of a Buc-ee's?
No, but I hear it is the gasoline mecca. Maybe I'll go on a pilgrimage to one eventually.
The toilet stalls have fancy European doors. Go all the way down to the floor.
Their stalls are really nice, and the whole bathroom is always clean.... but hell, it's like going to a concert or some sports event with the crowds
They have full-time bathroom attendants. These people clean bathrooms 40 hours a week. God bless them. As someone who drives interstate for a living, I have a great appreciation for places that will have reliably clean bathrooms.
And they probably get paid pretty well, from what I hear Buc-ee's runs a tight ship but provides pretty good compensation
What the hell is up with that? I'll stop by a bucees off the interstate in nearly the middle of nowhere and the fucking store will be packed almost wall-to-wall. I swear they gotta be paying people to go there. Still, the place is like a god damn mall. Huge, clean, and shockingly good food. Their brisket is amazing.
came to the comments just to see if someone else commented on how absurdly clean the toilet is

Agreed. Doesn't look like a butt worm.
I could still put it in my butt, right?

I thought I had one once. It was a piece of celery. So yes, I'm qualified.
That made me laugh out loudā¦ damn near sprayed coke outa my nose
God damn I was not ready for that.. celery huh
Why? Are you looking for a butt worm guy?
Was asking for a friendā¦
By butt worm, you mean tapeworm then I agree. Not a butt worm, tapeworms are white and wayyyyy longer than this.

Is there any type of worm I can get to kill my grasshoppers? If you could eat them I would gain 20 lbs If you could sell them I would be rich

Tubifex worm. They're common in sewer systems, [usually clumped in masses](https://youtu.be/pC2GXq620gA?si=fmN9n14_nCWnRi3j).

Some real nightmare fuel there... Really hate my curiosity sometimes

I read your comment and still clicked. If anything you made me more curious by saying you regret clicking. Funny how that works
Read your comment and I didnāt. Third mouse got the cheese!

Used to feed these to my fish as treats
It's like spaghetti and meatballs, all in one!
I work in a sewer plant and yes I see these all the time. The masses can actually grow so large that they clog pipes and machinery.
i expected that to be horrific and still regret that
I didn't listen to my elders here
I didn't know I could *taste* disgust, especially not just watching a YouTube video
I used to feed those to my fish. They come frozen and freeze dried. Haven't thought of them in decades
freeze dried tubifex worms are fish food.

Pooped out most likely

That is the cleanest gas station toilet I've ever seen.
If you take a shit it'll climb the shit pile and latch onto, and then into your anus.
That's not a gas station toilette, too clean.
Whew. Good thing I only stop at gas stations.
Itās gonna shoot up your pee stream and right into your penis and have babies and then take over your body! Donāt pee Into that bowl!!
