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?

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.

Honestly, if there was a choice between breaking guidelines and weeing into a pile of nappies on the back seat of my car, I'd break guidelines. Or just not see my mum for now. I'd go the extra distance and sit in her garden. Anything that involved complicated and messy toilet procedures would be completely ruled out.

How did people manage for thousands of years without the ridiculous drama.

Congratulations, you turned a simple wee in a bush at the side of the road into a mammoth task! How odd.

kgal3542 · 27/05/2020 23:20

The replies on this thread are so critical and judge-MENTAL.
If you read the original post, OP has birth injuries.
She did not want to dehydrate as it causes headaches.
Mumsnetters, stop taking the p*&%

MuthaClucker · 27/05/2020 23:20

I became pretty damn efficient at wielding a Shewee after a summer of travelling through France. I can’t be doing with those holes in the ground.

CoRhona · 27/05/2020 23:20

For many reasons, least of all this, try and wean yourself off the diet coke.

3LittleMonkeyz · 27/05/2020 23:21

I nearly pissed myself coming through the front door earlier! I don't even usually use the facilities when out and I have incredible bladder control most of the time, but it was hot out, I'd over hydrated myself and just generally misjudged it. I did get to the loo on time, but it's the closest call I've had in a long time!

3LittleMonkeyz · 27/05/2020 23:22

I'm a migraine and headache sufferer so take hydration very seriously though

DracarysThis · 27/05/2020 23:22

I once pissed on the front seat after getting caught short in a traffic jam. It meant on cold days I couldn't use the heated seats for fear of the stench of push burning through my sinuses.

SuckingDieselFella · 27/05/2020 23:25

There's a piss troll????

SpecialKakapo · 27/05/2020 23:26

@Notthetoothfairy you do realise that we're still not supposed to be visiting other households, right? We can only meet up outside (and at 2m distance).

Jesus.

packetandtripe · 27/05/2020 23:29

actually of course it is a fetish thing, you are posting on such a large forum and you want people to discuss you urinating on your car seat.

CountryGirlAddCoffee · 27/05/2020 23:30

Why on earth didn't you just stop the car and go at the roadside behind a bush or something? Or just go for a wee at your mums? wipe down before and after.
People are nuts. Fuck having to hide your pissy secrets from DH or whoever and having a car smell of piss is rank!
Sorry if that's harsh!

onlinelinda · 27/05/2020 23:30

I once travelled 4 hours on a motorway with a 2 year old in the back, and 8 months pregnant. There was an enormous traffic jam on the motorway, and the service station wasn't open. People were actually getting out of their cars for a wee, but obviously I couldn't with a toddler. Horrific. You have my sympathy, as I remember feeling actually prickly with discomfort.

Bowerbird5 · 27/05/2020 23:30

Next time wear a full skirt squat down and wee preferably behind a bush. Tell him you have an essential shopping trip and buy some rhubarb method and spray that on. Buy one of those hideous tree things to hang on the mirror and blame that if he notices a smell.

scheffsm · 27/05/2020 23:32

Utterly ridiculous. Why didn't you just piss in the layby? Both car doors open on one side, squat between them. Job done.

CountryGirlAddCoffee · 27/05/2020 23:32

Sorry just seen it haha wasn't secluded enough to go outside and you weren't at your mums! Teach me to RTFT before i comment. I'm new to this!
Fuck it then, you did what you could and it failed. Lesson learned. She wee or whatever next time! Good Luck! And sorry for being a dick in previous comment!

Lynda07 · 27/05/2020 23:35

Aw bless you. Never mind, you tried to make a travel potty which was a clever idea even though it didn't work. Better luck next time. It'll clean up fine.

Starcup · 27/05/2020 23:35

By the sounds of it you’d have been better just wearing the nappy rather than trying to piss amongst 3!

Bouncingbelle · 27/05/2020 23:36

Always have an empty ice cream tub in the boot of your car!

She wee? Practice first in the safety of your own home? I have one in the car with my foil blankets in case I ever get stuck in a snow drift. Never needed it yet. I might practice after reading this.

Lockheart · 27/05/2020 23:38

@packetandtripe given OPs posting history it's a long fucking game they're playing if they are trolling.

Not everything is a troll. Many are, but equally many people also cock up or have embarrassing problems in real life and they shouldn't be told they're lying for trying to talk about them.
