AbbyLou, those other women should be ashamed of themselves

I know what you mean Popsy. I bet people have far more embarassing wee stories than these. I have to say, the aforementioned friend of mine is notorious for her weak bladder. I've seen her piss herself (or nearly) quite a few times. She did it at a Derby County match once because she thought she could wait for half time and she did it on the underground once. Most times were alcohol related like the train one. We were going back to a friend's house who lived right at the end of the line and from the minute we got on she kept saying "I need the toilet, I need the toilet" every few minutes. We were all drunk and quite young at the time. Anyway, after about 20 minutes on the train it became "I'm dying for a wee" and she actually asked a man if there were toilets on the underground trains. The rest of use nearly wet ourselves laughing!! The journey was taking ages and we kept stopping, you know what those late night ones are like. By now she was doubled over reminiscent of a kid on the playground who leaves it too late. It all ended rather emabrassingly with her announcing to the whole carriage "I'm really sorry everyone but a little bit of wee has just come out and I can't hold the rest in any longer" at which point she literally gushed all over the floor. Most people laughed but one man was so disgusted he said he was ringing the transport police. When we got off in Stratford there were loads of police and we ran all the way home terrified that they were after us!!

i am not pregnant but have early pissed myself lauging out loud at this thread

My best mate did this once in a toilet queue in a theatre. We went to the toilet during the interval but of course the queues were huge. She had wanted to go from about 5 minutes into the play but becasue we were in the middle of the row and she was 8 months pregnant she didn't want to disturb all the people near us by clumsily getting out. Anyway, in the queue she was obvioulsy in some distress. She was dancing about and holding herself - with BOTH hands!!! Not one woman in the queue let her go to the front, even when she was in tears from the pain. I had a right go at one woman who made some comment about self-control and how my friend should have been ashamed of herself for showing herself up. In the end I asked several women who got to the front if my friend could go in next but they all claimed to be desperate. Inevitably my mate lost her battle with 'self-control' and weed all over the floor. She was so embarassed she just stood and cried while I took my jacket off to wrap round her bum and hide the enormous wet patch. We made a hasty exit a have to say. We have a good laugh about it now but at the time she was so embarassed.

why didn't you just wee in his cart ? I would have done.

boboggglimpopo...got a similar story to tell...when I was pg with es and also working as a nurse a patient that I severely disliked anywya, projectile vomitted just as I entered the room...I mean, he hit the opposite wall of his private room...and I just joined in with the puking....lovely! Although, I suppose not quite as horrid as your story!
and LOL @ CMB

this thread makes me laugh. i wonder what the OP (whoever she may be) is thinking about this?

rubbing her hands with glee that you've all got so heated? or embarassed that she's shared this with you? or not bothered at all? i wonder.

well, it made for a good 5 min read from my point of view!

'good for you'

'good for you'

confirmation that you are all mad

and condone things on here that you would never, I mean never do IRL

you bonkers lot

ggglimpopo - have just wet myself (in the privacy of my own home)

Goodness, what an over-reaction to this story!

Good for you, IPDaily. Hopefully the shop might rethink the mad 20 minute rule.

glimmpopo - what a great story.

dd and I went into M+S yesterday. She needed a pee and couldn't wait, the loos were "closed for maintenance" and a nice lady took us upstairs to the staff loos. No floor wetting required in Kilmarnock!

psml ggglimpoppo

Not me.

When I was seven months pg and a nurse - this old chap with trembly hands tried to empty his colostomy bag in the loo, and slopped it all over my foot; he was wobbly on his feet and needed a hand to walk to the loo. I threw up all over him, just like that! Poor man. Then we both started crying. I couldn't let go of him in case he fell over, so we stood there sobbing in this sort of poo and puke half embrace for what seemed like forever. I still can remember the face of the poor student nurse who came running at the sound of wailing {wink]

I went on maternity leave that afternoon.

I don't think I could pee on demand though, no matter how pg.

No, it's not me and I don't think it's Greeny. I agree with Enid - it is a "god do you know what I really wish I had had the nerve to piss myself in front of that old tosser and I think I'll tell MN I did" sort of thing

Oh OK, it's a Greeny/F&Z wind-up. That explains it.

"Is this really going to be one of those threads where people get all riled and huffy and put each other's more outrageous statements into quotes?"

Good god Greeny what a thing to say

Is this really going to be one of those threads where people get all riled and huffy and put each other's more outrageous statements into quotes?

Oh dear, sorry, I though it was funny

<crawls away to find a more childish thread to play on>

I think it is self deception..the story has been told to excuse the embarrassment of loss of bladder control in public and the poster has dissassociated herself in such a way that she explains it by creating her own myth from id which absolves her of guilt and humiliation and reasserts her ego in a position of control

"It is pretty infuriating trying to hold in a piddle when you are heavily pregnant though"

Well, quite, which is why most pregnant women tend to go when they first need a wee, rather than leaving it until they're virtually wetting themselves

No offence Enif, I was only poking fun <don't-be-offended emoticon>

It is pretty infuriating trying to hold in a piddle when you are heavily pregnant though, it doesn't horrify me that much that someone might just "let go"...

I agree Enid, not something to be proud of.

has anyone on here actually tried to piss themselves? it is virtually impossible. in my younger days someone I know tried, in the interests of scientific research, reasonably full bladder, fully clothed, in his own front room. it took him about 45 minutes of serious concentration. (admittedly he wasn't 7 months pg)

yes

luckily that hangup is not wetting myself like an animal if i don't get my own way

it has stood me in good stead so far
