Why do you hold your pee?

Because I'm myLotting!
Well, this is the reason why I'm currently holding my pee now. I'm so engrossed with myLotting and I'm too lazy to get up and go to the bathroom. But I do understand the dangers of holding our pee, it's not very good to our health. Sometimes at work, I cannot avoid to hold my pee though. There was even a time that I was about to go to the toilet when the telephone rang and I'm the only one who can answer so I had to get it and hold my pee. Of course, there are lots of other circumstances when we have to hold our pee.
What's your excuse for holding your pee?
Going to the toilet now! :)

Haha! That's quite amusing! As for me, I hold my pee whenever I am traveling on a public vehicle. Long travels such as those will not permit me to go out and pee as the money charged is a concern if I push through my peeing session and get down the vehicle. I also, hold my urination whenever I am in the middle of an important matter. But yes, one should not hold it for too long as kidney stones may develop which can really cause complications to our health. So you better transfer your computer in the bathroom and take a seat on the toilet while myLotting.

I can't really bring my netbook to the toilet because the cable for the internet will not even reach outside my room! And there's no wifi so I had to leave it when I went to pee.
At times I get envious of guys who are able to pee when the bus stops and the driver or the conductor takes a pee. Girls couldn't do that unless the bus stops in a gasoline station or somewhere with a nice toilet.

I hate it when drivers pee in the tires of their vehicles! I hate seeing peeing guys in a very obvious place!
Oh, I already have plans for my earnings here and it's not for a router.

Yep, that's an advantage for us in their. But I don't usually pee in any place. I only pee in the most unsung places. I just observed that many guys just pee anywhere they can land their urine with. If you can't bring your netbook into the bathroom, maybe bring your toilet into your bedroom! Just kidding. Go get a router for wifi with your earnings here in myLot then.

Hahaha! You are so funny! Well, yeah, I've experienced this many times especially in situations like I'm on a moving bus when I don't have any choice but to wait till I reach my destination or situations when I intentionally hold my pee because I'm lazy to go to toilet as long as I can take it. Haha. I've gone crazy by reading your post! Nice one! :)

I always like it whenever I make people smile.
Oh, the feeling of wanna pee when you're in a bus is terrible! I've experienced that many times! Sometimes I even congratulate myself for being able to hold my pee for an hour!

Of course! I don't make it a habit as I don't want my health to suffer, too.

Yeah! Good thing there are commercials! That's also my cue to stand up and go to the toilet.

A couple of reasons I might hold it in is because 1) I hate using public bathrooms, and 2) I'm sleeping! LOL
School was another reason. Back when I went, we (the students) were only allowed to go during recess and lunch. Oh, we were allowed to ask permission from the teacher, if we really had to go, but weren't supposed to do it too often (the teacher would get suspicious otherwise ). So it kind of trained me to hold it in. Plus, as I said before, I hate using public bathrooms anyway, so I always try to hold it in whenever I'm out and about! LOL
Happy mylotting!

Lately, I've been going to the toilet at dawn a lot. It's really annoying because it's that time of the day where it's almost morning and yet there's still time to sleep. I usually go but there are times I just hold it in and wait til my wake up time.
Back in college, going to toilet was one way to fight sleepiness during boring class and especially during afternoon classes. I think the teachers in afternoon classes know that it's the time of the day that people usually go siesta so they understand if students frequent the toilet.

I've experienced that, too. I drive a scooter and there was a time when I felt I wanted to pee but I was far from home yet. And the torture there was I couldn't drive beyond 40 yet. SO I couldn't really hurry.

easy I am always way too busy to go to the toilet, which isn't very healthy.

If you know that it isn't healthy then you must do something about it!

I am very susceptible to urinary tract infections so holding it is never an option.

I agree, Jill. Actually, I had UTI before but that's because I wasn't drinking much water. And I don't want to have it again so as much as possible, I avoid holding my pee much.

Hi secretbear, although I know holding our pee is not a good thing and if doing so often would cause trouble to our health. I still would do so in certain situation which cannot help but yet have to tolerate. This usually would happen sometimes when travelling in a long journey express bus or watching movie in cinema
I try not to take only a little drink or visit the toilet before boarding the public transport. You know it would be quite embarrassed to ask the driver to do me a favor to have extra pause The same awful situation would occur as well if I have to pass several or many seats I then can reach the aisle and repeat the same thing again after back from the washroom. I would feel uneasy to disturb and divert others from watching the script
Happy posting!

Yeah! If it's really cold inside the bus it makes me wanna go pee, too! I hate it when that happens.

I also go to the toilet first before going on a long journey or before entering the cinema. I hate it when I feel that I wanna go in the middle of a movie. It has happened to me before and I couldn't hold it anymore so I went and missed a good part of the movie.

Mainly it's like you said...I get engrossed with what I'm doing on the computer or some other activity that I want to complete without interruption.
I don't think it's such a bad thing, controlling our bodily functions that is. The time may well come when we are not able to so using those muscles is a good thing.

Yeah, when we grow old it would be harder to control our pee. So might as well take advantage of it while we still can?

I do agree with you that holding our pee is not good for health. As much as possible, I do not hold my pee and usually go to the restroom to relieve myself. There are however cases when circumstances do not let me do so. That is when I am in a middle of my class. As you can see, I conduct training programs and usually in times like this, I hold my pee up until time for break.

I hold my pee when i was in my car and haven't reach my destination. That's why, now i always prefer to pee first before i am out from my home. Because once we are out from home, it is not easy to reach for the nearest toilet, especially when we are in the jam. I tried not to hold too long pee because sometimes it will caused my stomach pain when i finally release my pee. In fact, it is not a healthy practice at all. So, try not to hold too long our pee as much as possible...

It's really a pity when in fact, these gasoline stations and other public restrooms in bus stops should maintain the cleanliness in the restrooms since they don't know who will stop over in there. I mean, it might be the President or someone popular.

My mother would always tell me to pee first when I go for long travels. And true enough, it is effective. But I have experienced holding my pee during long travels as it's not easy to find a clean toilet.

Me, too. I hold my pee if I find the toilet not very "accommodating". I've experienced this during long travels when we stop by some gas stations to pee. Most of the toilets in many gas stations are terrible.

I know it is not a good habit to hold the pee. However, sometimes due to I am busy at work, so I will try to go to the toilet later. Or sometimes when I am outside, it is not easy for me to find a toilet. So I have to hold the pee.
I love China

It's annoying when you're having fun outside and you suddenly had to pee and there's no public bathrooms around! Most of the times I try to look for a restaurant or any establishment which would not mind if their restrooms are used by non-customers.

I just think that it is wrong to hold back the call of nature. On my side, I have to pee when I need to. I stop whatever I'm doing so I can unload the dirty water from my kidneys. I think that there will be an after effect, a negative one, if you keep on holding your pee for other matters that can actually wait.

Always holding your pee will be really bad to your body. Too much of something is always bad.

hehehe I like your post it makes me laugh! I don't usually hold my pee when I'm at home, but when I'm out I try to hold it as long as I can until I got home, or if no choice until I find a clean ladies room, I only hold my pee because I don't really want to pee on public toilet because sometimes its dirty.

I'm glad it made you laugh.
Yes, most public toilets are really messy. Even in shopping malls here. There are really people who do not know how to properly use a public toilet.

yes, I have experienced holding my pee whenever I'm busy at work and when i'm watching my favorite tv show. I don't wanna miss a single scenario. But it is really bad to hold your pee. Just like last night, I held my pee because I'm doing my lot. Now, my right side is aching.

Oh that's bad. I don't get that whenever I hold my pee. I only hold my pee some times and not all the time. Maybe you are prone in kidney diseases or something related to holding our pee? You should go to a doctor.

I'm glad you find this funny.
There are really times that we can't avoid holding our pee. I'm just glad that peeing is both voluntary and involuntary act of our body. If it's only involuntary, then we'd be peeing our pants always!
