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

[AhComeOnNow]

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?

Gross.

Why not just use your mums loo and wash your hands? Hell, take your own towel or even gloves that you dispose of after. Surely the risk then would be minute??

Why not pee behind a bush?!
I don’t actually think I could wee in the he car, even in a nappy.

I wouldnt have bothered to see my mum/friend/relative if I wasnt also willing to use their loo. So I haven't visited anyone.

I would have thought hiding behind your car or a bush preferable to pissing in your car.

That's nothing OP.A good friend of mine once shit in a bucket in the back seat of a car (urgent ibs attack)

Ah, come on now* OP. You've set the hares running wee wee and poo troll radar has gone ping.

*did you see what I did there?

For goodness sake why did you not use your mums loo? I visited a friend in her garden about 30 minutes drive from home and we socially distanced. She pre empted the issue of me needing to use her loo as I was there for 4 hours as her mental health has deteriorated over lockdown. She put a separate towel in the bathroom and I sanitised my hands before I went in and touched nothing as she had left all the doors open. I used my elbow to shut the door and turn on the taps after. A bit of common sense is needed here. Or a bush as my husband was made to use when he visited a friend for a social distanced chat in someone's garden.

Get a cat litter tray. Fill with clumping litter. Wee in it

Lack of toilets is a feminist issue.

We were umming and ahing about a family walk with uncertain toilet facilities and DH was very much poopoohing my qualms about squatting behind a bush. DD(20) told him straight up she was struggling with her heavy period and he completely shut up.

I'm laughing at the outrage... and feel the solidarity from a few! To add... it was secluded enough to hop into the back of the car with sun shields, but definitely not enough to go outside the car. There isn't anywhere along the way that would be that quiet.

And we didn't meet at my mum's house for me to use the toilet - that's not allowed

Please tell me that you split up with him within the week of that.

id have just used their loo-cleaned it after for her if concerned

WTF have you been drinking tonight? You must be pissed yourself never mind the car seat to start a thread about it.

Adult bladders are way bigger that small child bladders. My friend found this out the hard way when camping. In the middle of the night rather than trudge to a toilet she thought she use the toddlers potty. It was a brilliant idea, until the potty overflowed and covered the tent floor in wee!

Well if any consolation, that happened to me after getting stuck in a traffic jam for three hours. Fortunately I was alone. Bicarb gets rid of the smell very quickly, then once it's dry (take a hair dryer if you can), go back over it with upholstery cleaner to prevent stains. It was utterly mortifying so I must say I would 100% have gone for a layby if there'd been one.

I feel for you. I’m unable to go out at all at the moment as I have ulcerative colitis, no access to loos means no leaving the house.

1. Buy a Shewee

1. Try to go more than an hour without drinking coke.

For future reference a small bucket lined with a bag and quarter filled with cat litter is better. Push the front seat all the way forward, put it on the floor and hang your bum off the edge of the backseat.

Can't believe you didn't just go in the secluded lay-by. Anyway, I know someone who poo-ed herself in the car going home from a rave, with 5 (yes, 5) other people in the car!

I’m missing the point somewhat but In future take a plastic cup !! Much easier than the nappy stuff . I may or may not have done this when stuck in traffic on the m1

Dafuq is the piss troll?

I would have had a wee behind my car in the layby.

Use a plastic jug and pour it out the window.

I have pissed in a nappy in the car and it didn’t even leak! I was travelling alone with three very small children and I couldn’t face taking two small toddlers and a tiny baby into the services by myself.

@PrincessHoneysuckle I’m an IBS sufferer. I have deep cardboard bed pans in my boot. Utterly saved my life in a lay-by once! Poo / pee trolls aside, people shouldn’t be embarrassed to talk about this stuff.
