Someone left this new bathroom at the curb in front of our house. At first I was delighted, thinking it would come in handy when I'm working outside. Turns out it's only for women. Oh well. My wife might appreciate it.

I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

I've never heard it called that. It must be a middle class term.
We call it a shitter.

It might be American. It’s not middle class.

.ca on the logo.
The OP is absolutely correct: NOTHING screams 'middle class' like a turd repository near your sidewalk.

It says
.ca on the logo, but I don't see the words "Porta John" anywhere as suggested by TCT. That term may be a middle class euphemism.

So, it’s been here all week, but I haven’t yet seen anyone entering or leaving. We have a road construction crew on our street. They’re going to be here all summer. But I don’t believe there are any female crew members.

Probably less that than a difference in language between US & CA.
Example:
If your car battery is dead in a public place, someone may see your predicament and offer you assistance. They may ask:
CA: "You need a boost?"
US: "You need a jump?"
The difference between jumper cables and booster cables doesn't exist in anything but linguistics.

Around here, we use both terms jumper cables and booster cables interchangeably.
