I've always assumed small business owners were giving me the stink eye when I asked to use the bathroom because they didn't want people using up all of their toilet paper. :/

Who the hell do you think you are. I was in agony that day.. I was in agony that entire trip, ended up in two hospitals and barely made it home. It was either pee in a snowbank or pee on the car seat. Can you say beeeyoottch!!

I didnt really understand where you were coming from. IC 4 many is so debiliitating severe urge incontinence! but Im assuming you are aiming this at mild ic. Most People with bad ic cant drive around looking for a loo. They simply don't have the time to find one, they would be on the floor in agony after all that. They certainly don't have the lux of pickin a clean bathroom, when they have to go, they have to go NOW. Going where ever they can ( roadsides or in the car)

You are absolutely right... there are some patients who have a lot of trouble driving. I've had those moments myself and my most infamous emergency potty stop was a muddy snowbank along highway 50 up at Lake Tahoe. Yikes.. the stories we can tell.
