Never, never, never use the customers bathroom.

I was taught this by Doug Neal back at Western Iowa tech.  I learned it early and have largely followed it.  On occasion, I have had to violate this, though I have found by careful planning, it can largely be avoided. 

About 10 years ago, I was out in the boonies tuning on a bunch of farms,  1 1/2 hours from home.  I was 30 minutes from the nearest town.  I tuned for a new customer in a new home.  It was tidy, clean and orderly.  I had held out as long as possible but after most of the day tuning on farms, the inevitable approached.  I finally asked to use the bathroom.  She looked uneasy but pointed to the room down the hall.  I went into the bathroom but had to bulldoze my way through 4 feet of dirty laundry piled high, to access the toilet.  She had apparently thrown everything into the bathroom for a quick clean, and when I asked to use it, the secret was out.  

I've also never been back.  Just curious what the reason is???
