I've made a dash for it before pants around ankles. Never before has the pressure been felt so much.

Do that. it's a risk, but it's a buzz.

Just don't trip...

There was one day, after a curry the night before, while waiting between trains I felt the dreadful churning in my stomach that said you have exactly thirty seconds to get to a toilet or else it's going all over your pants.

So I sprinted to the toilets and the only cubicle left had no door, presumably broken by vandals given the amount of graffiti in it. It was an emergency, there was no time for debate so I went straight for it. Thankfully no one seen me but it was a pretty dire situation to be in at the time!

This is why if I'm going somewhere unknown, I'll take a travel pack of kleenex with me in the back pocket. A "just in case". Can tell people it's for the nose if you're embarrassed. Has saved my butt a few times xD

But what about the moral dilemma of either:

1. Flushing the tissue down the bog even though they don't belong there and running the risk of a blockage

or

2. Put the tissue in the bin for the cleaner / general public to gag on the smell.

You can get flushable wet wipes, but they are rubbish

Indeed.

They are ok for freshening up a bit, but I wouldn't fancy a full blown clean-up!

I assume he means like the Balsam pocket packs - I've usually got one in my coat for emergencies - they go down the toilet fine no problem.

It isn't ideal but having worked in 1-2 places where the toilets look like they are keeping animals rather than humans it has saved my behind before :S

Never had any issues flushing full fat wet wipes down the pan, have been doing so for years, whole family have...

Hopefully we aren't killing any dolphins by doing it!

After four pages all I can say is the OP was lucky no paper was his only problem.

Open your cheeks more to the air, sit there for 10mins or so let it dry off and crack on till you get home
