Various short sightings/anecdotes: All are true, all seen by me or very close friends. 12/01/92 - At a party, a vague friend of mine was wondering round telling everyone who would (or wouldn't) listen that she was "Dying for the loo." and "I don't want to wet myself!" She asked everyone within earshot of me "Do you want me to wet myself? Then get them out of the toilet!" A group of people were tending to a drunkard in the only toilet... She didn't seem too desperate - she stood still (but wrung her hands) as she spoke to me. o A friend of mine told my girlfriend one day during a phone call that she'd been out the previous nigth with another friend. They went to the cinema, but the film was crap, and too make matters worse "I was dying for the loo from half way through, so that didn't make it any better!" 14/01/94 - In an afternoon lesson at Sixth Form College, a group of students were being shown a video. One couldn't sit still, kept giggling and going red. She said a couple of times "It must have been that coffee, I drank too much of it." The second their video finished, she jumped up and launched herself across the room towards the door, shouting at the teacher "Can I go to the loo now? Thank you!" not waiting for the reply. o Several re. one person. She's drop-dead gorgeous and seems to either get desperate regularly, or it happens to occur when I can hear about it: - Aged 16, she was a real party animal. At one during the summer, in a field to avoid damage to the host's house, she drank seven bottles of beer and then made love to her boyfriend, unable to pee as there were no toilets in the field, and lots of people at the party. She told my girlfriend later that it had been "awful". I didn't doubt it for a second. - Aged 17, at a party, she (apparently, though wasn't particularly fidgety) needed to piss a lot. Finally, the best friend of the hostess showed her an upstairs toilet, since the downstairs one had been/was being puked in, and was unavailable! The friend described her as "A very relieved girl," when she showed her the toilet. - Aged 19, on 29/08/95. She arrived for a days shopping with my informant at 10:15. They had some tea (this girl had three cups), then wondered around the town - she had a Fruitopia (fruit drink) since it was a hot day. At 11:30 they sat for a rest by the river, she was already very giggly and was probably slightly fidgety. Looking at clothes at 12:00 she definitely needed to - she had trouble getting in to the clothes she was trying on. 12:30 they had lunch, where she had a can of coke or somesuch, and some of my informant's. As soon as they sat down to lunch, she couldn't sit still. Her fidgeting was "rocking the benches in the cafe." My informant describes this as "severe fidgeting. The sort you do when you can't hold on." They left the cafe at 13:15ish and she said "The next thing on my menu is the toilet!" They walked very quickly to some public toilets a couple of minutes away. o Another individual. She reads these pages, although isn't (as far as she's told me) into watersports - she just has a small bladder! She is one of the characters in the St. John's College article. I won't describe her since she might be offended however I phrase it. 04/11/92 At one party, aged about 16, she was getting me to matchmake her and a mutual friend. Conniving in the hall, she was fidgeting in one of the most violent manners I've ever seen. I knew she was absolutely bursting... We talked briefly, with her fidgeting all the while, until she announced, bending forward with her hands across her abdomen "Hang on, I'm going to pee myself if I don't go to the loo!" and dashed in to the toilet. 02/05/94 Aged 17. Wearing cut-off jeans, she seemed a bit fidgety before a lesson at 11:50 (sadly, we were studying different A'level Maths courses). At lunch time (13:00-14:10), she announced about half way thorugh that she was thirsty. She had a mini-can of Root Beer in her lunch box, thus someone retorted "Drink your root beer then!" She replied "I can't, I think I might wet myself if I have it." "So go to the loo then!" I chipped in "Look, the Physics blokc ones are just over there!" She refused repeatedly, but did a bit later. She hadn't been very fidgety, though obviously needed to badly as she was subdued and not her normal self. - This very close friend almost never used school toilets, thus I'll try to coax her to tell me more... - Also appears in the Boat Trip item below. o Television desperation I've seen: - Phillipa Forester, a Children's TV Presenter for the BBC, when still very new, started talking very fast during a live broadcast and fluffed her lines/swung in her chair/stuttured etc. _I_ think she suddenly came over desperate since she was still nervous at being on TV, but others who saw it didn't even notice the change. - On one of the crappy Saturday morning TV shows with studio audiences, one member of a team in a quiz slot was obviously only just managing to concentrate on the questions over her bladder. She was later involved in a physical game and could be seen standing in the background fidgeting mightily... o Our Sixth Form College went on a boat trip as the end of year leaving party. The boat had a bar, a disco, and one toilet - with, as I recall, about 50-75 students on board. The queue for the toilet got enormous - half the group at times! Assorted people: - One girl (she's quite sexy, but on with the story) got her thumb stuck in the toilet door, hammering on it to make the person in front in the queue, who'd just gone in, be quicker. She had to be taken to hospital for X-rays I think, certainly received First Aid, but I never found out if she had been to the toilet before getting help. I liked to think she hadn't, and had somehow coped with the pressure in her bladder for the hour she was being ice-packed and splinted, but deep down I know she must have somehow endured the pain from her thumb in order to relieve the pain in her bladder first. - One of my friends was talking to a group of us, fidgeting slightly - the shifting slowly from leg to leg, not too desperate but can't stand still sort of fidget. She went to buy a drink (she said, though the toilet was also in the direction) but came back empty handed and announced "I need a wee but there's a queue!" She disappeared off again, later to be found still in the queue. - The same friend (X), and the one mentioned above (Y), were standing at the bow with me when the Captain announced he was going to moor at a jetty near public toilets for ten minutes as "I understand some ladies would like to powder their noses!" The whole boat laughed (those who could without wetting themselves). Y stamped her foot and said "I need a piss!" angrily. X replied "Okay, okay, just hang on." Y replied that she couldn't. They ran together to the public toilets when we docked. - Another friend drank as much as everyone else, but was never renowned for using the toilets however much she needed to. I think she had been waiting about six hours, including the trip to the boat, when she finally gave in. She joined the queue, and met me just after she came out of the toilet. She said "Oh that's better. Oh the pain!" 12/02/93 - When I was 15/16 (during my GCSEs) I was elected Head Computer Technician. As Chair of a Committee of students that ran the school's computer room at lunch times, I had numerous meetings. Once a week, all the Committee met. At one such meeting, after it broke up, one of the two girls on the Committee said "Oh, does that mean I can go to the loo now? James [another Committee member] pulled me in before I could go, and I'm really dying." Later, I met her in the corridor and asked as I walked past if she'd masnaged to go yet. She said she hadn't but did, then, actually look desperate. 30/09/95 - Eating in PizzaLand in York, I couldn't help noticing the fidgeting at the next table. A blonde woman of about 20 was with her boyfriend, rubbing legs and totally tied up in each other. I had no doubt she needed to piss, but when her boyfriend did go at the end of the meal, she watched him go wistfully but stayed put. 01/07/95 - Also at that PizzaLand, there was a younger girl sitting directly opposite me who could not sit still. Her mother was apparently oblivious to the fact, but she was obviously on the verge of wetting herself. I honestly don't think she can have made it home without _some_ leaks... 04/04/95 - This time at KFC in Plymouth, eating before seeing Forest Gump, actually, in the evening, I saw a girl and probably her sister with their mother stop outside the doors. The doors were open, and I plainly heard their conversation. The girl in question was very ratty and scowled, pacing about as they talked: Girl: "Let's have dinner. I need the toilet." Mum: "But we've still got to get the..." G: "We can do that after!" (said very soon after her Mum's comment). She then rushed in and upstairs to the toilets without waiting for her mum or sister. M: "What do you want?" (called up the stairs after her) The girl reappeared and crossed her legs on the steps as she replied anything would do. 11/10/94 - We have to register with the Medical Centre on Campus when we arrive as first years at York Uni., thus a mamouth 'production line' is set up. A urine test is done, as usual. Some people apparently went prepared: Waiting to see the nurse (third queue of the process) I found myself sitting next to the sexiest girl I'd so far met in my two days at Uni. She was fidgeting slightly, waiting for her friends to finish with the nurse before leaving (apparently to provide the sample, since they all came back later). Suddenly, amongst the small talk always evident among freshers, she said "I think my bladder's going to burst!" and didn't mention it again. She left about ten minutes later... 20/07/95 - I've so far found only one advantage to commuting by train rather than car - watching women almost burst. Sitting on Exeter St. Davids station, in Devon, UK, on a glorious summer evening (hot and sweaty from my days work in a shirt and tie, otherwise I might have approached her), I saw a lovely, perfect-legged woman wearing an opaque mini-skirt on the opposite platform. She was intermittently with her boyfriend (I guess) though he spent a lot of time checking the Information Board. She was trying very hard to hide the fact that she was fidgeting, but every male eye in the place was on her since she had a somewhat revealing skirt ;-) . Their train arrived late, and I saw her straining in her seat to see whether either toilet in their carriage was occupied as the train finally pulled out. I have never seen anything better - many to equal it, but when tired, hot and frustrated on a working day there is nothing better!
