very nearly had a real accident today.... i know i don't post many personal stories but i had to share because as scary as it was at the time it's quite hot to think about
i had the last of my end of semester exams today, and i woke up late so i didn't have time to use the bathroom before i left. it was quite warm in the exam room so i drank my entire 500mL drinkbottle and refilled it about halfway through the exam. mistake. i started kinda feeling it with about 50min to go, and i started really feeling it with about 30min left.
each person is only allowed to leave the room once during the exam time, though, and i'd already used that to fill my drink bottle (yes, it's a stupid rule, but i don't decide them). i realised that i'd have to hold it for the rest of the time, while paying attention to the exam, and probably drinking more water because god it was hot in there (middle of winter where i'm from but they had the heater up very high). sure, i can do this. hopefully.
as the end of the time got closer and closer i was squirming in my seat, i hadn't leaked yet but there was still 10min left.... i was genuinely worried i wouldn't make it. i had one question left, but i was struggling to focus at this point, i'd made the mistake of wearing a belt this morning and it was digging into my bladder, which i'm sure was bulging by this point, making me even more desperate than i was before, and no matter how much i moved around i couldn't get any relief.
with about 2min left i felt my first leak. it wasn't big, but i could tell it was the beginning of the end. i was once again bemoaning my outfit choices, as i was wearing light jeans, and if i leaked much more it would be. very obvious. at this point, i had finished my exam and packed up my things, and i was just waiting for the buzzer that would finally let me leave.
when it went off, i quite literally sprinted to the bathroom (i think i bumped into a good few people on the way out lol), and as i got into the stall i could feel myself starting to pee.... you'd think that taking off my belt would make it better, but really that miniscule amount of relief is what let loose the flood.
thankfully, i managed to get my pants down in time.... but not my underwear. i was peeing full force, into the toilet (at least), but through my underwear. the relief was insane, and i couldn't even be upset that i almost didn't make it, because wow it felt good. when i finished, i took them off and ended up just binning them because i had nowhere to stash them, and i had to go the rest of the day commando, constantly reminding me of what almost happened.
hnnn it was very hot looking back. maybe i need to get desperate in public more often.... much to consider
