When I was younger, my mother used to tell me that if you used the public rest stops (like the ones on the interstate highways) there would be people in the stall next to you and they would take a razor blade and slash your ankles while you were on the toilet. I am 24 now and I still to not use the bathrooms at rest stops when I am traveling. Thanks, Mom!
