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?

How fucking could you

MrsOfBebbanburg · 28/05/2020 00:43

You’re probably going to have to take the back seat out and wash it properly and dry it outside tbh OP.

ThighThighofthigh · 28/05/2020 00:48

I peed in a car park once OP I was incredibly desperate and thought I could drive to a loo. I lifted my leg to get in the car and the dam broke. As soon as I started I couldn't stop so I stood and had a very enormous pee in a busy car park.

I kept my face completely normal and gazed into the middle distance so people wouldn't believe what they all were seeing.

An ex of mine had a bit of a problem holding it and we had to stop as she wanted a leak from time to time we got around it by throwing the passenger side door open and the rear passenger door too, she could then squat down on the bottom part of the door frame and pee there being sheilded from view from traffic in both directions, worked quite well!

As the the rear seat can you take it out and wash it, it'll stink otherwise?. Most only havbe a coupld of screws holding them the rear seat squab that is.

Pigletspal · 28/05/2020 00:57

Grim. Just go in a bush like most people?! Or, if no bushes available, then a large jug or hot water bottle would have been better containers. The 3 nappy contraption sounds wasteful and weird, sorry. And also, clearly, ineffective.

wildcherries · 28/05/2020 00:59

@CountessFrog

Just use your mums toilet.

People have gone insane.

This. Or go behind a bush. Unbelievable.

My friend (yes really, it wasn't me) was so scared during her driving test that she silently pissed all over the driver's seat. She ran away without admitting what she'd done but somehow passed.

bd67thSaysReinstateLangCleg · 28/05/2020 01:12

OP, accidents happen, but get a stand-to-pee device, they are lifechanging. YMMV as to which is best for you though.

I find that shewees leak because they are really shallow and my pubic hair is dipping into the stream, allowing the urine to wick up the hair and over the sides. I have a Freelax copy of the Pstyle which is much deeper and avoids that problem.

Practice in the shower!

Jimsmum61 · 28/05/2020 01:20

You need to keep a plastic 2 lt jug and an empty Lenor/Comfort bottle in car..The jug is big enough to catch it all and when its poured into the empty bottle it won't smell...used this when camping and it worked a treat. You can kneel on back seat of the car and pretend to be looking for something in the back of the car while peeing away with the jug underneath,,! Or if camping stand up and just hold jug underneath,,

I never understand the squeamish Ness about open air pissing. Isn't that what bushes are fir?

DarrellMakepeace · 28/05/2020 01:41

Your real issue here is why you are addicted to diet coke.
It can cause all sorts of problems including diabetes.

Your lack of bladder control may be early onset diabetes.
You should get checked out asap and stop drinking the stuff whatever.

THEDEACON · 28/05/2020 01:46

This is why I am going nowhere until loos are available my bladder and bowel couldn't cope We use a TESCO pet accident spray for if the dogs we board wee indoors it's relatively cheap and very effective Just bicarb probably won't be enough in your situation

Destroyedpeople · 28/05/2020 01:48

I have to agree about the diet coke it's evil piss stuff

She has birth injuries. She flipping said, and it is insensitve for you to use this as an opportunity to grandstand about diet coke.

Did you know that the late great George Bernard Shaw was a great proponent of women's toilets? He put much effort into explaining that without dedicated public conveniences for women, women were and are restricted to a radius of their home in a way beyond the effect on men of an equivalent lack.
BilboBercow · 28/05/2020 01:58

Imagine pissing in the back seat of your car rather than using your mums loo. Mental

notangelinajolie · 28/05/2020 01:58

Bush or bucket would have been a whole lot easier than a piss stinking car surely?

hadtojoin · 28/05/2020 02:01

Wash and dry as best you can then get a can of 1001 foam spray deoderizer - the pet one - and spray a few times. The foam dissapears within seconds and it really does get rid of the smell.

Purpleartichoke · 28/05/2020 02:01

We did the same with dd when she was potty training because she was terrified of public restrooms. It was the only way we could leave the house for any length of time.

I recommend dog piddle pads inside two bags for the future. You can also use an industrial bucket and a pool noodle to make a surprisingly comfortable seat.

This is going to be a very real problem going forward. My problem will be unexpected period moments. No matter how much protection I use, sometimes I flood just minutes after a change. (Yes, I’ve seen a doctor)

Imagine not even bothering to read the OPs posts, including the one that said they didnt meet up at her Mums house. Mental.

caringcarer · 28/05/2020 02:25

Why drink coke? Everyone knows that will go straight through you. You should have gone to the loo at your Mum's. Failing that if you thought you might be caught short you could have worn adult incontinence knickers, just in case. The car will drink in the heat.

LittlePaintBox · 28/05/2020 02:32

Can recommend the pet shop enzyme sprays for removing smell of 'accidents'. I have loads of it in because we have a very antisocial cat. When I had really bad cystitis and wasn't reaching the bathroom in time, I found it was equally good for human accidents as well.

Am I peculiar, I don't carry anything in my car for emergency weeing!

Rubyupbeat · 28/05/2020 02:35

Please keep a pack of 'travel jane' in the car. They are amazing, fit perfectly over your lady bits and can handle the most massive wee. No leaks and dispose in the garbage.

You are not going to dehydrate over the course of a few hours. You’ll be a bit thirsty, that’s not the same thing as dehydrated.
