Desperate situations call for desperate measures.

[ed629]

And lessons learned, check for toilet paper and make sure you always socks on. Had to make an emergency restroom use at a gas station, and didn't check for toilet paper. So long story short left without my socks. So two lessons were learned, check for toilet paper and always wear socks in case of a desperate situation.

So what you have you done in a moment of desperation?

Man, I bet the gas station people were pissed at the guy who clogged their toilet with shitty socks.

^^^ I carry tissues in my handbag so I don't tend to run into that problem. I think many women do this (or else they carry facial, makeup wipes etc).

By far, the most desperate thing I have ever done is to smother flames on a burning child with my body. In May 1981 my then 4 year old son came running down the hallway with his t-shirt on fire. I don't actually remember putting the flames out but my shirt was burnt in the front so I gather I just grabbed and hugged him to me.

Damn... make that three lessons learned, flushing the socks wasn't a good idea either.

Well four now, if you're going flush socks, do it after flushing the bulk. I wouldn't want to be the poor guy that had to deal with that.

Did you at least buy some gas, to make up for the mess?

I ate some atomic spicy Thai food and the next day I nearly went in my buddy's car. He had to stop suddenly at a gas station for me. That was a close one.

Hope you didn't need socks.

I once did something out of desperation involving the use of - or in this case, the inability to use - a toilet. But I won't go into details, as (trust me on this) it will disgust a lot of people.

Oh, you can't just leave that story there.

Dish the dirt.

Was with a friend on a roadtrip through the american southwest, sharing hotel rooms (but not beds) to save money. Woke up one morning with the really urgent need to piss. Friend was in the bathroom.. for a long time. finally broke down and pissed in the waste basket in the room. Luckily we were checking out that morning and my friend never noticed. Feel sorry for the maid service though.

All these situation seem mellow ,, at least you did not go in your pants or skirt ,,, me after drinking all nite was known to not bother with the toilet and / or so on sometimes paper was like leaf's in the woods or what ever // jail // there is fights for tp and such and that they steal that stuff when you sleep. anyway

once it was bad just leaned over the edge of the bed/loft i was in and spued out my stomach and and spilled all my bile after a little while waking up the next day I decided it was my roommate that had done the vomiting and asked him when he was going to clean up the vomit?

still in more sane times there was the coffee filter episodes where we would run out of tp and use the last of the coffee filters for butt wiping LLLLOOOLLLL that has not happened now in over 10 years so I have put myself past the coffee filter wiping period of life.

spued - past participle, past tense of spew (Verb)
Verb: Expel large quantities of (something) rapidly and forcibly.
Be poured or forced out in large quantities: "oil spewed out of the damaged tanker".

I use socks instead of tissue all the time.

Keep a fire extinguisher in your car at all times and make sure it's easily accessible.

Some might think this to be a "well, duh!" thing, yet people don't.

I've needed one in two different situations.

I would actually never think to keep a fire extinguisher in my car. I feel like most people probably don't.

I don't think it will compare to think's story.

Is that for those times when you eat something so explosively spicy that you not only urgently need to poop, but your farts set the car on fire? (I’m just trying to keep it relevant to the topic.)

Actually, the chances of a car catching fire in an accident are extremely slim -- unless you’re rear-ended in an old Ford Pinto. All modern cars have an automatic fuel shutoff switch that turns off the fuel pump in the event of a collision, greatly reducing the risk of fire.

I hope it was, at least, a solid garbage can & not some kind of mesh one

Yeah... I've been there too. Plenty drunk, horrendous hangover with a 26 hour, 1/2 way around the world flight in the morning. Also have had to find something else than a toilet as well, which is how I learned about the sock thing. Once was so hung over, and feeling sick that I puked into some old lady's shopping bag at the mall when she would get out of my going up the escalator. She told me I could wait for her until we got to the top and didn't understand why "you young people" are always in a hurry, she found out different. It only took about 1/2 second to decide to puke in her bag than on the escalator.

Hubby and I were out of town and suddenly he had to pee. Badly. Health issue. We pulled to a quiet parking lot, pulled an empty soda cup from the rear seat's cup holder. He did his business and we killed some dirt dumping into some non-planted planting. Tossed the cup later and got a clean one as we were still traveling and didn't want to take a chance things would repeat.

Okay, here's my story.

Once, a few years ago, my college roommate and I went to a McDonald's that had just recently opened. Now, fast food almost never (and I mean NEVER) upsets either one of our stomachs. We've both ate at McDonald's on more occasions than I can remember. But, for whatever reason, this newly minted McDonald's had Big Macs that literally tore us up on the inside.

By the time we got back to our apartment (about a twenty minute drive) we were both doubling over in pain. We had to do rock, paper, scissors to decide who got to use the bathroom first. I, unfortunately, lost.

So, while I'm standing in the living room waiting for him to finish his business, I'm literally dying inside. It feels like my stomach is going to explode. Finally, after about ten minutes, I simply cannot take it anymore. So, I grabbed a trash bag from under the kitchen sink and went into the abandoned, run-down apartment next door. This was filthy; it was so bad that we nicknamed it Shelob's Lair. There, I squatted with the bag opened as far as it will go and did my business. That's just say - it was fucking nasty.

But that's not the end of the story. While I'm doing my business, the stench becomes so bad that it literally makes me puke. Whatever was left in my stomach that hadn't moved into my intestines by that point came out the other way.

Afterwards, I cleaned up the spot on the floor where I vomited and, I kid you not, it was the only clean spot in that entire apartment.

I think the real lesson to be learned is, if you own a gas station with a restroom make sure there's toilet paper in the stalls, or expect sock clogged bogs.
