JMatthews1995 1,030 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 So I am wondering what are some genuine reasons people have put off going to the toilet in their lives? I can think of a few off the top of my head... 1) Playing an online game I frequently hold for a long period of time because I don't want the hassle of logging out and in. 2) Working on coursework I will often refuse to go pee as I don't want to loose the motivation rush that I am on. 3) Watching a film I will quite often hold right up to near bursting point just so I don't have to stop it and ruin the flow of the film!

Mbgpeelover 8,721 Posted November 13, 2018 ✨ Legendary Member Share Posted November 13, 2018 In a meeting. Been in that situation loads. Stuck in traffic. Visitors in my house (too shy to go) on a phone call...business or international or Skype call in church as too embarrassed to leave in conversation with someone at a restaurant with friends so many times I have put off and held either through embarrassment or enjoyment or shyness.

WaityKaty 1,171 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Anxietyif other people are around. Specifically not wanting other people to know I need to pee in case I can’t pee when I’ve made it clear I want to. Just being an idiot if I’m alone. I literally came online to post this reply because I was just dancing around in my kitchen thinking, “I’m about to wet myself.” I didn’t fwiw but there was absolutely no reason not to go earlier.

Guest drenna Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Recently had an experience when I was stuck in a taxi in gridlock traffic. Other than circumstances like that, I usually put it off when I'm playing a game or watching something interesting. Not wanting to get out of bed is another big one, Quote Link to comment
BladderLad 1,466 Posted November 14, 2018 ✨ Legendary Member Share Posted November 14, 2018 All of the above and more often I find myself at work putting it off because I am absorbed in something only to find myself suddenly really desperate in the middle of talking with someone!!

desperatewet 152 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Traffic. Afraid of being late to an appointment or a class. In a movie theater and you don't want to miss an important part. Bravestone 1 Quote Link to comment
Despguy123 2,699 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Most common reasons for me are: - Being stuck in meetings/presentations/training courses for hours - Stuck on a long Skype meeting or conference call - Sitting at my desk at work concentrating on something or trying to get something finished quickly - Stuck in traffic - On a plane, especially if you end up in a window seat - University lectures or seminars - Exams (school, university, and professional exams) - At school, some days I would hold off from peeing for the whole day until I finally got home - While working as a cashier in various retail stores - Working as a kitchen porter where often I'd be too busy for a loo break and end up holding for hours Quote Link to comment

I loved holding during those! Quote Link to comment
Dammbruch 20 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Sitting in a cinema, concert hall or cinema during a performance. Especially if you are sitting right in the middle of the aisle where like 10 people have to get up in order to let you through. Being on a train with no toilets, or on a long walk with no discrete place to relieve yourself. Being comfortable or tired in bed and not wanting to get up. Being late for something so that you have to decide between being desperate or even more late Quote Link to comment
Lukhas 391 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 - traffic - school lessons - work (meetings and in some works you cannot go when you need... drivers, cashiers etc...) - cinema - reataurant with friends Quote Link to comment
peedespes02 686 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Get busy at work no time to go. Road trip and no where to stop Bars talk to people and have to wait in line to go. Long movie and have to wait to the end. Quote Link to comment
wettingman 1,586 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I am traveling I don't like to stop once I am on the road . This is made worse if I am Delayed in heavy Traffic . In a long running conference , seminar or meeting. Long movie or TV show- my urge to pee goes up to urgent as it ends. Being too shy to ask to use the toilet Not wanting to admit I had to go---as a kid even though my dancing and holding myself was a dead giveaway. Also way back avoiding restrooms in school because of bullying , which lead to In the past being unable to pee around others in public restrooms But now the number one reason to hold my pee ... For the fun of it. Quote Link to comment

Dr. Philthy 97 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Trying to wrap up a task at work or on a shift that's almost finished. I've noticed that's when a lot more desperation has occurred for me Quote Link to comment
ssjammerz 614 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Work is the main culprit for me. Sometimes when I respond to a call I may be posted out there for awhile--and finding a restroom where people most likely want to kick my ass isn't the safest option for me either.

Cassini 3 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Sometimes its just laziness. While doing some work, i just do t want to interrupt myself and waste that couple of minutes for peeing. Or if i have to go shopping(for example) not for long time, i prefer not to visit bathroom first if need is not high. But sometimes, while walking the need pretty increases )) Quote Link to comment
CarmenCD 1,363 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) stuck in traffic on a phone call at the meeting in conversation with someone at a restaurant with friends at the movies outside at night and too scared too pee in a dark alley I'm embarrassed to admit I have to pee again can't find a public toilet nearby but most of the time, I hold because of enjoyment Edited November 15, 2018 by CarmenCD (see edit history) PrincessEsther 1 Quote Link to comment
buddy 149 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hi Carmen, what do you mean by " I'm embarrassed to admit I have to pee again " To go again after you already went sometimes ago? So do you generally admit openly, when you have to go? Quote Link to comment
CarmenCD 1,363 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 buddy I don't admit openly unless it's necessary. But I have to pee quite often. After lunch and coffee, usually 2 times in next hour and than in one hour time I have to go again. If I'm at the meeting, usually I can't just get up and go, I have to tell people why I'm excusing myself. It's either a bathroom or phone call, but even using a phone call as an excuse is not always appropriate, so I hold it until it's so bad, that starts interrupting my concentration, than I excuse myself. The same situation is when I'm riding in a car with someone. I'm a bit embarrassed to constantly asking them to stop for a bathroom break. I try to hold it until it's not really necessary to stop.

I have the same thing with meetings. What's worked for me is I just get up, quickly walk out - and if someone does what I call "the death stare" (the how DARE you leave kind of look), I hold "1" finger in the air as I leave (universal sign for "one sec" or "going #1"), and quietly come back -- nobody ever questions why I was gone for 3 minutes. I feel no words need to be said because most adults (if they're half-intelligent) should "get" that "#1" gesture means pee break. As for excusing twice in a meeting, if it happens, that's when I would add "not feeling well, sorry" (lessens the obvious what you're going again(?!) stare)... usually works (and I think everybody has been there).

CarmenCD 1,363 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 nightwind If the second trip is an occasional thing,"not feeling well, sorry" would work, but I have to do it at almost every meeting after lunch. It's awkward and I prefer to hold it and only when I have no choice, I excuse myself for another bathroom break. Luckily I don't have that many meetings right after lunch. Only one regular meeting with coworkers every week and it sometimes even ends before I have to use the bathroom for the second time. If I have a meeting with clients, I would use "not feeling well, sorry" excuse for the second visit to the bathroom. Quote Link to comment
Spectator9 957 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I have a beer-drinking friend whose wife criticizes him for drinking too much, and she mentions it when he takes too many trips to the toilet. So if he's having a few beers on the weekend he tries to hold it as long as possible so that his wife won't make the comments. Quote Link to comment
