Stuck in traffic& have to go to the bathroom - what would you do?

Question

What would you do if you were stuck in a really bad traffic jam and badly needed to go to the bathroom?

Would you try and hold it in?

Or go to the bathroom in a cup or a bottle inside your car?

Or relieve yourself on the side of the road or behind your car door?

Or would you get out of your car, try and find a bathroom, and then walk back to your car?

Answer 1

This actually happened to me once when I was stuck in 4 hours of non-moving traffic and I had to go so badly I was literally crying. I just remember wishing so badly that I could be a guy for a minute because I had a water bottle right there.

If I had been a guy, you'd better believe I'd have used that bottle. But being a girl, I had to hold it until I nearly vomited. Finally I ended up doing a u-turn on the road and went back the way I came so I could stop at a store to use the restroom. Of course I had to start back all over again with the traffic, but at least I wasn't crying.

I think when you have to go, you should go. Find a way to do it. No one should vomit because they have to hold it in so badly.

Answer 2

If I was a guy going on a cup or bottle would be very easy but being a girl I can't it's kind of hard to go on a cup with people around you.

But most defenitely I would try to hold it. If I was in a street just lock my car and go find a restroom but if I was in the freeway I have no idea probably just pee and then head home after traffic is gone to shower and clean my car. haha nothing else to do oh well. Just glad to have leather seats!!!!

Answer 3

Never been in that situation and I have a strong bladder, so I think I could hold it. A family friend who is a policeman told us a story about stopping a woman for speeding and she ask if he would hurry and while he was going to his police car to call in her license, she began to scream "Officer, Officer, Help" and he went running back to the car to find that she had crapped all over herself and the car and the floor and her dress. It had apparently been explosive and was everywhere. He said the smell was horrible when she rolled the window down. She was crying and shaking and no he did not give her a ticket. He just gave her back her license and told her to go home slowly and get cleaned up. Then he got in his car and laughed and laughed. I felt sorry for the woman. Imagine how horrified she was. And she was not an old person, but a young woman. Oh, the horror of it.

Answer 4

Where i am there not that bad..
You can always wait to get off at a side street or hwy exist.

Hold as long as you can till you got to a Fuel Service Station.
Being a girl.. and having indoor plumbing, its not like you can go beside your car or in a bottle.

Answer 5

Try and hold it.

If someone else was with me, I guess I could have them take the wheel while I walked and went! But alone, I'd just have to keep holding, since I'm a girl and I don't want to make the news for that!

Answer 6

Unless the traffic is really bad, I'd get off the nearest exit or side road and go into a local business and use the facilities there.

Answer 7

Traffic jam, around other people? Hold it!!! The bladder actually stretches quite far and can hold more than the brain tells it that it can.

Answer 8

been there , done that on a 50 car pile up on I95 a few years ago.
i drove up 95 about an hour to get to work. work was closed due to bad weather (thanks for the call i never got). i had a huge cup of tea on the way up, had one there, and made another cup for the road home. (we're talking like 24 oz. cups!) i didn't pee before i left.
i had to empty my cup of tea to pee in it (nothing else to drink for 6 hours). i filled the cup and had more pee so i got out and peed beside my car. the way i was thinking at the time was 'if you've never seen it before it's about time you learn'. in front of me, behind me and to the side of me were ALL full of construction type trucks full of MEN!

Answer 9

circumstances would dictate the manner in which you relieve yourself. In my bosses case it was like this---He was in heavy LA traffic, 5 mph, and had to take a dump. He held on as long as he could until it became just to painful. he pulled over right on the 405, the busiest freeway in California, and ran to the front of the truck and as he ripped his pants down around his ankles the poop soup violently expelled itself from his anus and sprayed the entire grill of the truck!!this day the brown stains are still visible!

Answer 10

no, no, you pee in a cup, get out of your car, knock on the door of the guy in front of you, and when he rolls down the window, pour it in his face. he'll have to pull off the road to clean himself, and when he does, you move up and take his spot. repeat as many times as necessary to get out of traffic.
