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 or an assault 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]

- A quest in "DragonFable" recently released a humorous quest that the main character can do if he/she wants. The quest was intended as a silly side-quest in which the main character goes to see Sir Prize in Oaklore Keep and take his quest. The main character starts at the bottom of a hill, then click to make him/her go to the outhouse on top of the hill. Sir Kuss is in there reading a paper about Sneevils until you stand outside telling him that Sir Prize sent his regards. The player can then choose to quit the quest, or tip it over so he falls victim to the prank. If the player clicks to do the prank, the main character pushes the outhouse so it is knocked over, then slides down the hill, bumps into a rock sending it flying. It, then, hits the ground two more times and finally lands in the water, making Sir Kuss angry. Then the quest ends. Unfortunately, you get no rewards for doing this quest.
