Toilet tipping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portable toilet tipping, also known as outhouse tipping[1] and by the various names for portable toilets, such as port-a-potty tipping) is a practical joke in which perpetrators sneak up on a portable toilet or outhouse and tip it over for amusement.
The term is associated with the popular notion of cow tipping.
If the toilet is occupied, the person within is then covered in materials spilled from the containment area below. If performed on an unoccupied toilet, then it is more accurate to describe it to be an act of vandalism than a practical joke, because no specific person is the object of harm in this scenario.[2]
