I wet my knickers in M&S on purpose.

Ok, so I've changed my name to protect my identity and from the life long ribbing I'd get on here.

I went Xmas shopping with my mother and we stopped at M&S for a bite to eat, I need to wee more but am also hungry -we had to queue for ages but finally when we sat down all was good.

I go to use the loo as by now I am desperate. There is a man outside the loo with a cleaning cart and he stops me from going in "I'm cleaning them" he says. After 10 minutes of waiting there, staring at him staring at the door I say "You're not actually cleaning them are you?"

He says "Yes I have to wait 20 minutes to make sure everyone is out"

"Well, I'll go in there have a look for you , spend a penny at the same time and we'll all be happy"

"No, I'm cleaning" he says

By this point I am barely able to walk and scream in an awful Nicki (from BB) fashion
"I'm bloody 7 months pregnant and need to wee for gods sake"

"But I'm cleaning" he says still outside staring at the door, now with his arm in the way of entry.

Right then.

And I wet myself in front of all the other ladies who were tutting at having to wait.

Cue one of the ladies in the queue getting an assistant who then got the manager who took me to the staff toilets/asked my size brought me some knickers and trousers and apologised profusely.

I am terribly stubborn sometimes.

In London it is illegal to drive a car if you are not sitting in the front seat.

love it!!!

Not sure if I am disgusted or proud. If it was an accident, the fair enough but if it was me, I would have used the mens or disabled

iwouldloveadollypleaseSanta · 21/11/2006 22:44

respect to you - i would probably have wet myself long before you did when 7m pg -

hunkermunker · 21/11/2006 22:46

The 20 minute rule is mental. Unless it's armies of women waiting in line at the sink to wash out their mooncups that is worrying M&S male cleaners?

Saturn74 · 21/11/2006 22:53

Go back next week, repeat your 'piddling offensive', insist the cleaner washes your clothes, and then dries them under the hand dryer.

Then get a refund on the free knickers and trousers, and spend the cash in the food hall.

Honestly, some people have no idea how to make the most of a situation!

willowcatkin · 21/11/2006 23:18

Good for you.

Some people are so stupid. I have vivid recollections of trying to find toilets when dd was pt - I rememebr threatening in Allied Carpets that she could wee on thier floor or they could let her use the staff toilets as she would never get to the car on time.

I definitely rememebr a similar feeling when hevaily pg and motion was not an option!

santaslittleprettymum · 21/11/2006 23:51

you're good!!! proud that you stood your ground!!

unknownrebelbang · 21/11/2006 23:56

IF this is true.........wouldn't it have been easier to go to the loo BEFORE you had your lunch?

smittenkitten · 24/11/2006 20:06

good on you! that's the sort of thing i fantasise about doing! you rock and are officially my new hero (unless you are woman who lets rats run around your house peeing, in which case I judge you and think you are a dirty cow)

foxinsocks · 24/11/2006 20:11

thank goodness you didn't need a poo

pelvicfloorSNOWmore · 24/11/2006 20:12

Bloody jobsworth

crunchie · 24/11/2006 20:22

This is pretty gross tbh. she also said that her mum thought the loos are clean when she used them 5 mins before. if she were that desparate why didn't she go and let her mum queue for food??

I can see her point about jobsworth, but have some dignity woman.

Sheraz · 24/11/2006 20:24

This is an urban myth surely to GOD

Trinityrhino · 24/11/2006 20:24

tbh, I don't think this was the best way to stand your ground and get one up with the jobsworth. I would have definitely needed to get right up that little twats nose and make him feel wrong but I would have done it differently

but hey if that made you feel better then ...go girl

shimmy21 · 24/11/2006 20:30

why not just go in the men's?
or the disabled loo? Surely they weren't all being cleaned

Sheraz · 24/11/2006 22:27

Scuse the pun but this is a piss take.

mustrunmore · 24/11/2006 22:42

Piss take or not, I came very close to this in Tescos when I was 8months pg with ds1, and all the loos were shut for cleaning at the same time. Ladies, gents, disabled, even the nappy room, so I couldn't have even weed in the sink if I could've got up there. I screamed, ranted ,cried, dh asked nicely then got stroppy, and they just said the staff toilets were too far away to let me use, which is why most staff used the customer loos anyway.In the end, I half ran half hobbled to the soft play place round the back, and ran in past tihe till saying my child was in there but I couldn't stop as I was desperate for a wee

edam · 24/11/2006 22:59

Respect. I had something similar once - busting for the loo and jobsworth insisting they were shut for cleaning. Station late at night so nowhere else to go. Kept running in between loos and train indicator boards hoping she'd ruddy finished cleaning them. Eventually she buggered off and a male cleaner let me in. Don't think I could have held on any longer!

sharkjump · 24/11/2006 22:59

Well, it's not a terribly dignified thing to have done, but it's only urine, not radioactive waste...surely most of us have mopped up the odd wee in our time!

On the other hand, I doubt anyone WANTS to be a toilet attendant when they grow up. So presumably your average bog-swabber isn't the sharpest tool in the box; which might explain this bloke's dogged insistence on the '20 minute rule'.

yulemoonfiend · 01/12/2006 17:34

UCM - is this you???????

KimiTheChristmasCracker · 01/12/2006 18:12

mousiemousie · 01/12/2006 18:16

EniDeepMidwinter · 01/12/2006 18:21

jesus

how utterly weird

SantaGotStuckUpTheGreensleeve · 01/12/2006 18:21

Oh, respect.

and from dh - "firm congratulations are in order, I'm impressed"

EniDeepMidwinter · 01/12/2006 18:22

this is such bollocks

I believe it all happened up to the weeing part

I bet the poster really just got cross and left thinking 'I should have wet myself'

if it is true then I think you need psychiatric help because I think that is seriously disgusting

yulemoonfiend · 01/12/2006 18:24

I just could not physically wet myself on purpose...(I am very well pottytrained, see?)
