Anyone from UK watched the Jubilee Parade and wondered...?

[bustin2pee 1,378]

Anyone from UK watched the Jubilee Parade live on t.v. and, like myself, wondered if any of those in the parade needed a wee or better still were absolutely bursting for one? After all there were thousands taking part, so they couldn't possibly all have had the opportunity for a last minute wee before setting off. So maybe many of them might not have been to the toilet for some time, especially those in elaborate costumes. Also some of the presenters, the celebs on the buses, officials and even those on the Royal platform may well have been in the same predicament.

Does anyone else automatically think the same as me when watching these kind of parades/events? What are your thoughts on this? And has anyone been in this type of situation?

Yes, 100% I wasn't thinking about much else. Even the crowd must have created some huge lines for the porta potties, and at worst, some very close calls!

Haha, me too, whenever I see something like that it's the first thing I think of, I mean, there has to be at least some!

Someone should definitely write an omo fic about this for sure.

[pguy69 492]

I spent some time searching Twitter yesterday and there really wasn't much. Any crowd like that, with drinks flowing, must have created some desperation though. It is the first thing I think of too!

From what perspective?

I don't know exactly, perhaps from someone in the parade?

[pguy69 492]

I mean, that is definitely the sort of scenario that I enjoy

I'd consider doing a comic on that at some point in the future, I'm a bit busy at the mo,so would be a while yet

I like the idea of a long tortuous parade where many people REALLY need to go, at the end, one of the dancers really runs to the toilet, makes it, but is forced to step aside and let a celbrity in first because they are bursting and security are clearing the area for them!

I like it too, food for much thought there!

[pguy69 492]

My mind is whirring already! Forced to wait longer just as she is about to get her MUCH needed relief. Maybe directed to the public portapotties, that have 30 minute long queues snaking from them

So glad I wasn’t the only one thinking that! 
i was actually away during the extra bank holidays at a holiday park staying in a caravan. The main lounge of the van looked onto a sales area that was holding an event for the jubilee. Bands, bouncy castle that sort of stuff. Loads of tables set out and plenty food and drink but zero toilets as everyone onsite was renting or owned a caravan so was expected to go there. However I noticed loads of people choosing to stay for the entertainment while drinking steadily and I had a very clear view of one lady all dressed in shorts and t-shirt who started dancing to the music then sat crossed legged then stood to watch something and was moving from foot to foot. Every time I glanced over she was getting more restless but yet she stayed there almost another hour! The last I saw her she was sat back on a chair swinging her legs constantly and still drinking. It was pretty obvious she was bursting but nit wanting to walk all the way back to her caravan and miss something. There were hundreds of caravans so she could have had quite a walk back to hers!

This ones starting to fly, I'm thinking visually... 😜

[pguy69 492]

Festival season is starting too, so many drinks, so few toilets. Always my favourite time of the year!

Haha... we can't help it can we! Nice sighting there too.

[wetting_fan 452]

I do the same when at those types of events! Surely out of hundreds, if not thousands of people, there at least has to be someone holding, already leaking, wet, etc. Maybe even someone doing all of that on purpose too hehe... I mean statistically it has to be true, yea?

Yes indeed, I've had a few decent sightings watching the queues for the ladies at those type of events in the past

Definitely got to be some, especially those taking part themselves who can't possibly attempt to go until the end.

A bit off-topic maybe, but I sometimes wonder about the police officers on duty at those parades. Some of them standing along the route are there for hours and you often see them drinking bottled water on warm days. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a police officer in the queue for the toilets. So where do they go?

[Thegame123 66]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks like this about these type of events - it was all I kept wondering all weekend seeing the various events on. 
 

That also brings me to a quick conversation I overheard over the weekend. What I actually heard was very minor and I didn’t get every word so this left my imagination running wild afterwards.
 

I went out to pick up a takeaway on Friday night about 7:30pm so it was still light. On my way home there were a group of 4 late teens/early 20’s (2 female, 2 males) at the bus stop on the other side of the street. They were all fairly drunk and had obviously been out for the day for some kind of jubilee party I presume . I wasn’t paying any attention to them but the street was quiet and they were talking loudly. Just as I was going past them my ears pricked up as I heard one of the males say something along the lines of ‘I can’t believe …. …. Pissed herself/yourself’ I didn’t catch it all clearly so couldn’t say if he said she ‘nearly pissed herself’ or implied that she had ‘pissed herself’ but at this point I was listening hard not knowing who they were referring too. Then an attractive female with dark hair wearing denim hot pants said something along the lines of ‘I could barely walk’ more talk I couldn’t clearly hear from others the she said ‘I really need a wee again’’.
 

At this point my head was racing but I had now walked past them and it would have been super strange if I had turned around and walked back past to see if the conversation continued. I did have a quick glance over as I walked away and noticed a girl squatted down but this was the other girl and given the position of the bus stop (literally right next to a row of houses) I’m certain this was nothing. Also from what I could see the girl who had ‘the issue’ didn’t have any noticeable wet patch on her shorts although they were quite dark and I was now a bit away from them so it may not have been clear if there was one. I also know the bus they were about to get was at least 10 minutes away and then was quite a slow ‘round the houses’ type bus so if she was needing to go again that ride would have been interesting to see. 
 

That left my mind racing afterwards trying to decipher was I heard and saw. I’ve come to the conclusion that the most likely situation that happened and the least that could possibly have happened was a desperate close call for the girl in question at the event which ended with a desperate rush to a loo or even going in a bush in front of people. This would be followed by desperation on the long bus ride before making it to a loo/bush again - still a decent scenario.
 

The least likely scenario but not totally impossible (in my mind at least) a desperate accident had already happened at the event where she wet her denim shorts with some or all of her friends witnesses and we’re willing to tease her about it afterwards(she certainly didn’t seem too upset or concerned by this , so whatever happened wasn’t too traumatic for her) followed by accelerated desperation while waiting for and travelling on the bus followed another potential accident either on the bus or when they got off - maybe quicker than the first due to her a) being less able to hold and b) not being as bothered as she’s already had an accident earlier on.
 

This is the issue with only hearing a small part of what happened my head is whirring to the possibilities of what could have happened and I’ll never fully know. It is sometimes annoying that a little 10 second snippet of conversation can keep my imagination running for so long. 
 

Anyway apologies this was a bit longer than I expected and I’m sure there were many examples of this kind of thing over the weekend that we will never know about.

Not just that..

Yearly countdown at times square is also another one where I ask myself this question haha..

I did wonder/fantasise about the underwear choice of a certain female TV presenter with a “reputation” who was on one of the buses…

Whenever there are crowds assembled on the streets for hours, some of them partying, and there are few portable toilets, you know that some of them (most likely the younger set who don't plan well) who are holding bursting-full bladders.  Older folks are more likely to drink sparingly, perhaps wear a nappy, and they don't linger in the crowd as long.  As noted above, some of the holders might be police officers who were on duty for hours.  

I'm sure that the celebration ended with some wet pants and puddles in the alleys.  

[desperateseb 101]

Not for the jubilee but I was at the LFC victory parade the weekend before and thought this! A few adults had to take their children to find a loo but most businesses were saying customers only. I can imagine there were a fair few desperate adults along the route as the alcohol was definitely fast flowing!

[stinklerus 385]

Yes indeed the thought crossed my mind as soon as I saw the crowds on tv. I was away myself and it was too sunny to stay inside and watch much but when you factor in the long wait for access, drinking enough to stay hydrated in the warm weather along with the anticipation and excitement of the occasion it was bound to be too much for some bladders. Someone out there must have seen or heard something.
