It would indeed suck to be locked up for locking up. (There's a teeshirt there somewhere...) But seriously, in this age when security cameras are more common than Coke cans, you'd think that something along those lines could be used to provide an affordable and relatively private way to conduct the tests. Bladders would be less shy, (at least mine would) and Big Brother would know he's getting a legit sample.

@onestarshines I've recovered enough that your suggestion would work for me also. But for 41 years I would lock up even in an unobserved urine test, when applying for a job and for routine physicals...performance anxiety.

Great video, kinda makes me wish I live in the UK tho eh?

[ParureticDave]

Maybe we should move to  the UK and get caught committing a crime...so we have more rights than law abiding people in the US. :-)

You know, all it takes to cure pee shyness is a plastic dividing board, having a message say do not urinate at even # urinals, consentration, & love.

If a blind prisoner failed a vision test, would he be punished for "not trying hard enough to see?"

Thanks for uploading these videos.I´, m a Paruretic too, and I had Drugproblems earlier in my life.(5years clean now).I´ve been to Rehab and made several detoxinations in clinics.I always had to pee in cups and evrerytime it took me half a day drinking 5 Liters of water until I was able to.I also had Problems with the male or female nurses waiting in front of the door.And even when I coud get them to move to their charge office, It only made me put myself under even bigger pressure.

Outstanding video, Dave. Please consider sending it to the higher-ups in the government who enforce these ridiculous rules.

[MrStevenson922]

What are you hiding from, what are you scared of?? As one of Dave's shirts say "Shy Bladder, So What?" Don't be afraid of being put out there, that's really what we need. And on top of that various government agencies have known about the problem for two decades and refused to change the rules. I'm sure plenty of people have pleaded they have a shy bladder to no avail.

Great video Dave. But maybe the law it was it is, because nobody ever mentioned the shy bladder problem to the people who make those laws. Fighting for the rights of paruretics will be hard though, because who will ever stand up and say that they have a shy bladder too? Won't be too many. Personally I wouldn't like it to have my face in the newspaper with shy bladder above it.
