What was your worst experience involving a long trip where you had to stop for a bathroom break?

Question

I was on a trip to CA and I had to go, but I said I can wait until the next rest area. Well, don't you know we encountered an accident, and the traffic stalled. I just had to run and find the nearest secluded tree!

Answer 1

i was on a special diet that included a liquid fast on the last day -- the liquids that day consisted of consuming 'as much as you want' of a homemade vegetable broth (it claimed 'the more you drink, the more you lose'). my husband had taken the subway to work...i stayed home; he said he'd take the subway home when he was done later on in the evening...time passed, i drank the gross soup -- lots of it....in the late afternoon he called & asked me to come pick him up in our car -- he wasn't feeling well. i agreed -- after all, that's what wives do, i though. i went to the bathroom before I left, but i could feel lotsa liquid still swishing around -- well, i got caught in the WORLD'S WORST traffic jam in Times Square that you can imagine -- it took me hours to get through! I thought my bladder would burst, my kidneys were burning, the pain was intense; like nothing i've ever experienced. when I FINALLY got to my destination, I limped to the ladies' room & tried to pee -- it seems that after holding so much for so long, i couldn't go! it hurt so much i started to cry. finally, i got some relief...but that pain lasted for DAYS.

Lesson Learned: Never drive in traffic w/a full bladder!

Answer 2

I really had to go to the potty. And the traffic was practically at a standstill so we couldn't get anywhere. And I was only like 8 so my bladder wasn't very good at holding.

Finally traffic starts moving and we get to a gas station 15 minutes after I thought I would pee myself and the bathroom has crap all over the floor and toilet seat; i mean that literally.

So I ended up peeing in a crappy bathroom... not fun = |

Answer 3

After Hurricane Katrina,,,we were coming home and the traffic was just literally stopped for hours at a time..it was so hot and I had to go but there was no where to go...we finally got to a service station and the potty wouldn't work because the lights were out all along the Coast....the man who owned the station,,,let everyone go in a forest behind the store...we went by twos,,one looking out for the other.....at least it was a place to go....you'll go anywhere when you have to,,I guess...don't want to repeat it though...

Answer 4

I was travelling to a music festival on a double decker bus. Everyone on the bus was drinking beer, so eventually the driver had to stop by the side of the motorway. I had to pee really bad, so I found a bush that was semi hidden and um, did my business. Unfortunately I had drank a little bit more beer than I thought. I lost my balance and fell over into a pile of stinging nettles. I couldn't sit down properly for ages :(

Answer 5

That would be on the way from Texas to Illinois for my grandfathers funeral. My brother and I told our dad we had to pee but he kept passing every stop.
Geeezzz we were adults even.
So finally after over two hours went by, my brother said " Hey old man how I about I give you break and drive a bit?" Dad said sure. My brother pulled into the first stop we came to after he got behind the wheel.
The funniest thing was once stopped, my dad raced my brother for the bathroom!

Answer 6

I'd had to pee for the last 8 hours, so when we reached the hotel (I was driving, and it was a 1974 Nova stick shift), I jumped out of the car and ran into the hotel room and peed. Then when I looked out the window my car was rolling down the parking lot! LOL!

Answer 7

I cannot top any of these....
Once at a rest area in PA...they had used a cleaner that caused an allergic reaction in me and I started to sneeze...and sneeze... and sneeze....and I already had to pee and ended up sneezing it out before I made it into the stall....
Peace.

Answer 8

Riding on the Greyhound from Chicago to Seattle. Those bathrooms are GROSS! and everyone smelled like a cross-breeded salmon-ape! Uuuhhheeww.....

Answer 9
