The woods on the side of the road on the way to the Renaissance Faire. This particular Faire is HUGE but the road leading up to it was not designed to handle that kind of traffic so it backs up really badly. We were stuck in this never ending traffic jam and I was at critical mass...I would not make it to the Faire,

Ohh, oh oh, I got this one!

Honorary mention for Worst Place I Refused to Pee

Picture it: Italy 2007.

Not my story but from friends (a couple) from grad school. Near the Eiffel Tower is a public restroom (and I’ve been to this place too), which is a series of toilets positioned over a long trench (This was 30 years ago). The wife came out, sobbing that her engagement ring fell off and into the trench. The husband

I have so many wonderful/terrible peeing stories. My favourite is the time I was living in China. My friends and I had befriended a taxi driver with our very rudimentary Chinese. He invited us to his place to meet his wife and child.

About 1 am. Times square subway station bathroom. I was halfway through a 2 hour subway trip from Bay Ridge Brooklyn to Washington heights to meet my girlfriend at her dorm. I couldn't hold it in anymore, ran to the restrooms I never saw anyone go in. The floor was covered in toilet paper, it smelled like shit. I

This really was a friend and not just me saying “a friend” to cover my own tracks.

Hey, for me it’s also a pregnancy pee. I was in my third trimester, still vomit-y and easily nauseated. On my daily commute I had to take the train and because third trimester really, really needed to pee.

CBGB’s bathroom. There’s a good reason it’s been immortalized in movies, TV shows and art. Dear Gods, what was I thinking.

This wins for sheer impact in the least amount of words. The 1st 8 words alone tells the reader exactly how truly horrifying the next 12 words really were. Brava!

1986. Newly pregnant. Florida in August, about noon. Flea Market porta-potty. I vomitted on my feet while I was peeing.

Trump’s assault on Hunter Biden in the debate (while Biden was talking about Beau, let us all remember) was an especially clumsy and brutish tactic that seems to have failed extra hard. A lot of people know family members\friends that experienced addiction through the opioid crisis. Addiction doesn’t carry the “moral”

I hope this puts to rest any doubt that she is part of the machine. This is clearly coordinated with Trump’s attacks on Hunter Biden. This rollout is pulling double duty as a softener to Trump’s your son’s a cokehead attack and ensures that the stigma of drug addiction stays in the political news cycle to needle

She reminds me of the Jonathan Price character’s mother in “Brazil,” after she gets a powerful clamp attached to the back of her head to tighten her sagging facial skin.

“Mitch McConnell has been in the Senate for 35 years. It’s time for him to step into the modern world where women are equal, and, stop forcing last minute changes to avoid accountability.”

In his position, I wouldn't. I'd never be in his position, because I'm human. But if I was, no way. Kentucky is backwards as fuck, and the only thing that can happen from a debate is for him to fire up some Black people enough to go vote. The cuckfucks are in his corner, and there's enough of them in Kentucky that

Well, it's been clear McConnell doesn't like women since he got kicked out of the military! Him and Lindsey are textbook examples of how denying your true self destroys your humanity.

Incel turtle refuses to leave shell for 25 years.

Expected things are expected. Yurtle got tutelage from Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms, two of the biggest bigots ever to sit in the Senate. It’s not really a wonder that he’s turned out to be evil, too.
