Got a traffic ticket this morning *OT/somewhat UC related*

So this morning, I wake up, I do my usual 3-4 BMs...and I attempt to get to work without crapping my pants. Most of the time I make it without incident, but not this time. Half way to work, I felt it.....I'm like common!!....hold it!!!!.......the turd says: let me out!!! let me out!!!....then I couldn't hold no more, so I went in my pants. So, I jet back home with my car, take a shower, change my pants and I get ready for the second attempt.

The second time, the traffic is denser. Ok, I'm going to cut through a neighborhood. I'm not supposed to go through there in the mornings, it's not allowed and there is a sign. Sometime there is a cop sitting close to the entrance to catch people going through the neighborhood. I'm like...f... this, I have to gamble, and I venture in. As I step in the entrance, I see the hood of the cop car 200 meters further, hiding.

I'm like...I'm f..ed. I immediately do a U TURN, I get out of the entrance and I gun it down the street to get away. I look in my rear view mirror, nothing so far. I go, phew, I made it.

Not even 2 seconds later, I look again in the rearview and I see the cop car light up like a christmas tree. Three seconds later, he's riding on my back bumper. I still didn't stop, cause I'm in denial..hoping that by some magic luck, he's not looking for me lol.

Anyways, He chirps his siren, one time, and I know it's game over.

I pull over. He pulls over.

He comes to my door, I have the window down at that point.

Officer: Hello, you know, you're not allowed through the neighborhood and you did a illegal U-TURN trying to get away when you saw me.

Me: Well...I...well, you see, I have this condition, and I point at my towel which is on my leather seat. I have to get to work fast, otherwise, I may crap my pants.

Officer: Ok, give me your license and registration.

He comes back and says:

I only gave you ticket for illegal turn in the neighborhood and if what you say it's true about your condition, maybe you can appeal to a judge. If the judge deems ok for your to break the law because you have a problem, then it's ok by me. (at that point I wasn't too sure if that was sarcastic or not...but whatevs.)

After that, I put my tail between my legs and go to work.

Moral of the story...UC costs money...LOTS OF MONEY.

I think you got a lot of understanding considering he didn't ding you for speeding and not stopping when you were being pursued.

Good you didn't crap yourself literally.

Ka-ching!!!

Sorry about the ticket but this topic reminded me of my urgent needs too (although I don't have the UC dx).

I prefer to wear Stayfree Ultra Thin Maxi Pads, the overnight type, they are extra long, with wings in the very back of your underwear, ie wings means adhesive somedude. Don't laugh, men are wearing these pads too, I'm long, long past the actual need for these pads (post menopausal) but they're a true comfort for minor drips and accidents. I'm never w/o them, using them for car trips, while at work, on vacation, we own a boat and in the summer, I often wear one then too (even in my swimsuit).

I don't know where you find disposable underwear. Years ago, in the feminine aisle I found them, their use was for heavy periods, again, don't need them for that reason anymore but they did give me extra protection, I actually wore them over my underwear, just for another barrier between my pants and underwear. But I can no longer find them.

You can get a medical card stating you have UC so at least that would be proof. Sorry about the ticket. I have done 90 down the highway many times trying to make it home to the bathroom....usually not making it. Luckily I never got pulled over with a load of poop in my pants! I can laugh about it now...not so much then.

Yea hate it,well if you can do the left foot trick,then it is easy for you to use news paper to catch
the sold stools,just make sure they dont roll of the newspaper. Place part of the news paper raised up on the back of the seat, of course you need to make sure you hit the target. This has saved my
pants many times. I really did not want to write that story,but if I can save someone from crapping
their pants,well no problem,we all understand the condition and the impossible to control
urgency all too well.

Trying to wash off your butt at work,would seem difficult,the newspaper trick saves the day.
Old Mike

poop in the woods...thats what i do

Are you not sitting on the newspaper or how do you do it? Are you pulling it away while driving and wipe off at the same time?

Old Mike - Lol! Sounds like you have it down to a science!

Somedude - Is there a newspaper in Canada that supports the political party you despise? You could take a crap on that in the car every morning....lol!

Andrina,no you have to raise yourself up from the news paper,and stay that way,until you either decide to remove the news paper,wipe and pull up your pants, or wait until done driving and to it.
It can be done cleanly.

@ Ipoop,
I once had to use a piece of my prescription paperwork (that they attach to the outside of your meds so you know the side effects and what nots of the meds) that was in my purse in the restroom, when I ran and barely made it on time in the first place only to realize that there wasn't any TP... it was almost closing time in the store and no one was coming in so I dug thru my purse, and the ONLY paper I had in there was that script paper.. so I used it happily, until I flushed and saw my name on the paper!! LOL oh well... hahaha

oh boy-have had 3 accidents few yrs back in me pants going to work twice-once out with family-this was all new to me after having U.C 20 YRS-now i leave a little earlier-i live in surbuban New York[long island]-do construction-hope there is a burger king-mcdonalds-dunkin donuts-gas station on way to the diff job sites i work on-have had to pull over on pkwy to go -eat smarter now-its a daily thing-if im not flaring its not that bad-although its not fun and can b filled with anxiety

I had a meeting the morning before my appt with the Dr who prescribed me LDN.. She was late, so I was late, and got a speeding ticket from an a**hole cop, for about $350... Couple that with the $175 office call... nice. Yes, UC costs you in so many more ways than one.
