Today I pissed on the back seat of the car...

I've read a few threads that say 'why do people keep asking where you're going to go to the toilet?' Well... I'll tell you why.. it's because it's a very very important issue with the current lock down rules.

I've not name-changed so I can't be accused of being a piss troll.

I set off today to see my mum. A 1hr drive. I've done it once before and the last time I went with the strategy of being dehydrated. It worked but caused a huge headache.

However, this time, we wanted to meet for longer than just a quick walk: a picnic was planned. So, with my birth injuries plus my diet coke addiction, I formulated a plan: 3 nappies double bagged to make a 'travel potty'.

I felt confident. Liberated even. I drank my coke with zero trepidation. On my return journey I pulled into a secluded layby and retired to the back seat to make use of the 'travel potty'. As I finished, on looking down, I was just in time to see the huge puddle soak down into the seat.

I fear that the bit-of-a-rub with a wet wipe may not have done the trick. Tomorrow, I need to come up with an excuse to go out in the car so that I can sprinkle bi-carb and drive around with all windows open before my husband finds out and files this under 'unreasonable behaviour' in the divorce proceedings.

WIBU to piss in the car!? Has anyone else resorted to such barbaric ways during these unprecedented times?

Alternative ways to pee in a car:

  1. Tenna pants (the heavy duty ones)
  2. A bucket
  3. Shewee and cup

OR

Pee outside!

I have a phobia of public toilets so I have worked out that I can go for 9-10 hours without peeing if I don't drink all day but you're right that the headaches are awful!

Makes you think how lucky men are to just have the luxury of standing up to go for a piss

"And we didn't meet at my mum's house for me to use the toilet - that's not allowed"
I bet Dominic Cummings wouldn’t have pissed on his car seats in the same situation.

Grin this comment made me laugh so much I almost pissed myself!

If I wanted a migraine and/or a kidney infection that would be the perfect way to achieve it. Please, try to get help for your phobia. Dehydrating yourself isn't at all healthy.

Oh God iv been there. The a75 inscotland.is a long road with few toilets Blush

Waveysnail · 30/05/2020 01:48

Blame kids/pets/random cat jumped in car. Hire a carpet cleaner

Jack80 · 30/05/2020 09:27

It's done but next time I would pee outside

Lottielouc · 30/05/2020 09:29

Hilarious, thank you for making em laugh out loud! Smile

Lottielouc · 30/05/2020 09:30

Em - me!

bullyingadvice2017 · 30/05/2020 09:35

Could have been worse. Could have been a shit 🤣
I'm not disgusted, sounds like a foolproof plan. I would have just gone by the car.
Did you miss the bag?

EmbarrassedUser · 30/05/2020 10:14

A she wee would have been better or just going in a bush. What you did is frankly gross Biscuit

JacobReesMogadishu · 30/05/2020 10:18

If you’re in a lay-by with your own car. Go round the sheltered side Of the car. Open both doors that side so you now have a barrier on 3 sides, squat and have a wee. Not Ideal but better than a piss smelling car. That’s going to honk for months every time it gets warm.

Boireannachlaidir · 30/05/2020 10:52

Step away from the Diet Coke before you go on a car journey with no access to a toilet. End of story.

Yesterday evening sat in a park with my partner I sat on the grass next to him and showed him a trick I learned as Teenager at festivals. I had a skirt and g string on. Hiding my hand with my cardigan I pulled my g string to one side, moved skirt around me and went for a wee. Nothing got wet other than the grass. Huge park so no one will sit in it. My partner was stunned and impressed. Blush

🤢🤢

terrimom · 30/05/2020 13:29

oh my gosh, you tried! The damage has been done so to speak. Get it cleaned up - don't use warm or hot water it will set the smell. Get a product with enzymes (many are made for cleaning up pet accidents, use one of those) and next time just pee at mom's house or outside the car. I've never used a she-wee but it seems a safer option. Don't stress and don't tell the hubby.

Itstheprinciple · 30/05/2020 16:14

I've seen tena lady being suggested on here - I always thought they were just for leaks. Would they actually hold a full on wee?

Abilala92 · 30/05/2020 17:56

OP this is something I’d do and I LOL’d reading this! I’ve done something similar that also failed epically, mine was pre lockdown tho🤦🏽‍♀️😂

Suetty · 30/05/2020 19:12

I can recommend real adult nappies if you’re not sure you can make it.

Try incontinenceshop.com

The Tena and Always pants that you can buy in the supermarket don’t come close to holding a full flood.

CHIRIBAYA · 30/05/2020 19:22

Are you a taxi driver?

Redleathertrousers · 30/05/2020 20:41

What a bizarre thread. You should have just used her toilet then washed anything you touched, door handles etc. A lot of effort making a 3 nappy piss pad for no need really.

Jimsmum61 · 30/05/2020 21:51

don't forget a lot of ladies can't actually squat due to different ailments, so going behind a bush is impossible.. can't see Tenalady towels or pants holding a bladder full...they are just made for leaks.. so a plastic jug as suggested before is the ideal solution to carry in the car just in case..

2468whodoyouappreciate · 30/05/2020 21:57

A bucket lined with bin liners and cat litter would have done a better job.

Just saying for next time.

Suetty · 31/05/2020 15:26

No, I’m not a taxi driver but have an adult nappy fetish- knowing the available products came in very handy after giving birth (though having small children around kills off the fetish and any sort of sex life for a good few years!)
