Accident on the motorway coming back from work. Traffic at an absolute standstill. I'm bursting for a wee. Help!

Think about sex, I read it somewhere once and it worked!Grin

On the off chance do you have a waterproof coat or rain mac in the car that has a hood? That could maybe work.

Or try and be brave and run to the bush. We are all human x

I used a nappy once... not my finest moment but it worked!

ClarencesMum · 24/09/2020 19:06

Any coffee cups?

I've done this before

Get out pretending to be trying to look at whats going on whilst predenting to speak on the phone. Duck behind a bush and let rip.

I have done what imatter says. Squat with your bum at footboard level and if necessary lean your back into the side of the seat. If you're very shy and have brolly make that your third wall. Just be quick.

Do you have any bottles? Doesn’t need a wide lip, as long as you jam it right in place with a little spot for air to escape it works. Make sure you let the air out though or the pressure will send wee verywhere

This is a dangerous game. Am I the only one who would never in a million years get this right? You may as well just pee into the car seat.

I'd just nip in the bushes and to hell with it - much better than some grim accident in your car

An umbrella shield is an inspired idea.

KooKooKachu · 24/09/2020 19:39

Wow some fab suggestions. I will defo keep some nappies in the car for future situations. Fortunately after my last message we started slowly crawling along again. 2 lanes blocked off though, it was a pretty bad accident.

I've just had the ultimate pee at home and the relief is immense. Surprised I've not got a burning vag. I have had to change my knickers though Grin.

I will keep some emergency things in the car, this is never a good situation to find yourself in. I'm also going to design and patent the piss flap. A flap that is built into car seats with a tank underneath. When you need to go, simply pull back the flap, pull down your keys and away you go. I think I'm on to something Grin

Glad you made it home!

My lot are well past the nappy stage but I'll be putting a few in the car just in case!

Yeah, I'm sure posting on MN whilst bursting for a wee is everyone's first thought.

Are people on here a bit thick or what.

Hard of thinking, certainly.

Actually, my first thought was play agame on my phone whilst I waited to try and distract myself. But hey, ho, each to their own. I'd already been sat an hour before posting. No need to be snarky Hmm
