Have you ever had to pee so bad you stopped on the side of the road to go?

I have had to go to the bathroom so bad I have stopped on the side of the road to go. I just could not hold it any longer. I am sure I am not the only one that has done this. I just get out on a back road and make sure noone is around get out and pee. It is that simple. When you have to go and can't hold it you have to do what you have to do. Sometimes you just can't help it and there is nothing you can do about it. I know I am not going to pee my pants in the car. That would be a big mess for me to clean up.

hi tuckersheri oh have I got a story. a few years back we took a vacation trip across Montana and Wyoming. well if you have ever driven through those states you will know' that service stations are way far between.I had to go so bad it hurt.there was a large patch of bushes not too far from the road in this unused field. So I get out, find the largest clump of bushes,take my kleenex with me and squat and do my business.Just as I was wiping my rear end 'and ready'to pull up my pants, I heard a horse knicker and a male laugh. needless to say,and red faced, I dashed back to our car as fast as my legs would carry me. the guy on horseback had the nerve to wave at me as we drove off. I was at that time about twenty.

I don't think you are the only to have done this either. If you have to go you have to go. I had to do it behind the dumpster at McDonalds once because they wouldn't let me in to pee. I couln't make it home!

Its a lot easier for men to do that. But we females have a harder time, we really have to find an establishment where we can use their bathroom, even if we have to buy a little something so that they will allow us to use the bathroom. Good thing I am not really someone who goes to the bathroom often, so I can travel without the hassle of needing to pee while on the road. I usually use the bathroom before I leave and when I arrive to my destination, I also go straight to the bathroom.

I didn't stop by the road to pee.when I can't hold it any longer I find the nearest fast food joint and use their comfort room.sometimes,if I a m hungry,I will also eat.sometimes,I'll just leave and act as if I was done eating.

Yes off course it is more hard for woman to stop at random place and pee. But for man, especially in my country, it is not hard to spot some men take a pee in the street. Maybe i c them one every a week, off course they usually pee behind a tree or in a bush, but you can still guess what they do.

No, I haven't. If I was male, maybe I would. It's kind of hard to pee on the side of the road when you are female :)

It happened to you and it happened to me, I don't think that this thing only applies to us both . Everyone experienced it i believe. It never occurred once to me but couple of times actually. I agree with you that peeing in your pants is a big mess to clean up so I'd rather stop and pee on the side of the road as well. The comments of other mylot members suggest that it's universal. Wherever you are,whatever your race is..no one escapes the pee

I have not, for fear of being caught, but I know the dilemma you're speaking of! I have a friend who has done this before quite a few times, because she just can't hold it any longer. We may laugh, but it's better than her peeing her pants!

I did that when I was still a young boy. Now I can't even pee out even it is really so bad on the road. Unless there is tall grass area.

It happened to me once, while I was inside a taxi and in the middle of traffic. I couldn't hold it anymore, so I went out of the taxi and entered a store and asked the owner if I could use their toilet. I went back. The taxi was still there.

well, i would do that too rather than end up doing it on my pants/underwear. also, isn't holding on it creates a health problem later on? it is not uncommon in our country. there was this comment that i have read somewhere about our country being one big restroom. that is true, most males pee under cover of a post or wall. but that thing other than pee, i haven't seen anyone doing it here in the city (they must have "taken cover" inside mobile toilets installed by the city govt. or found one somewhere), but in the provinces where it is possible to hide behind bushes, i know of someone who had done the same thing before, lol...

Not just pee, but I have had to run out of the car and do number two because if not I would have made a mess in the car. Luckily for me I was driving next to a wooded area with lots of trees. Still it wasn't comfortable at all. I suppose it is not so difficult for a guy to pee on the side of the road, but for a girl it would be. I have traveled to India many times and believe me they do both number 1 and number 2 on the side of the road and in the open. Maybe things have changed now, but that is what I remember.

Well i've done this before. And it is not me, All people in the car do this ( there are 4 of us ). It happen when we are back from out of town. We skip a few gas station because one of my friend said there will be one in about a few km, but he is wrong. Because one of us is almost can hold anymore and could take a pee about anytime in the car, we has to stop and then take a pee in the street. Thank god the street is quiet so no one c us.

Haha, I have. I had to go so bad one time that - and we couldn't stop - I had to use an empty gatorade bottle. The reason it was empty was the reason I had to go so bad. :P

I think you are right, we have all been there at some time. I suppose it helps if you are a guy (as far as acesssability). I don't know what the laws are where you are at, but I know that in texas if you get caught urinating in public (which also means on the side of the road) you can get a ticket... I guess it keeps the creeps from saying "I was just trying to pee!!" Anyway I have to say that I have been on a few roadtrips and just got caught without a restroom...Only number one though!!!

Hi Tuckersheri Yes I have had to go to the bathroom so bad but I didn't stop on the side of the road to go I just used a cup we had in the car at the timeLOL I was about 8 months pregnant with my firstborn and the car stalled on the highway because the transmission gave out on us and we could no longer keep up with the traffic speed on the highway any one who knows anything about transmissions knows that the best thing to do is pull over on the shoulder and call for roadside assistance. All women who have ever been pregnant knows the need to go when your that far along that when you gotta go you gotta go! So I sat there squirming I told my husband honey I gotta go I can't hold this any longer he said you wanna go in the woods I'll stand watch I said Oh HELL NO!! I told him I'll just hold it but that didn't last long at all that baby was pressing down on my bladder so hard I almost just said the heck with it just let it get on the seat and run down my legs I don't care cuz this is agonizing. I was to scared to go to the side of the road because it was dark and I told him I don't know what the hell is in those woods at night and I wasn't trying t get bit on the a** by no mosquito, possum,fox,racoon or whatever the hell else flies, crawls or runs around in the woods at night. I asked him to look around in the car and see if he could find something for me to use I started looking to and found a cup in the car from a couple days ago that we had soda in from MCDONALD's it only had a tiny bit of water in it from the ice melting I poured that out and used it. AHHHHH relief!! I almost didn't make it in fact I did spill a little but hey I did the best I could it wasn't easy Well thats my story it sure as heck wasn't funny when it happened which was about 24 years ago but its I can laugh at it now
