One thing about being pregnant that I have completely embraced is a sense of entitlement. I am bringing life into the world and soon enough, so I am told, that life is going to control a lot of my own. For now, I am still autonomous. Hormonal, opinionated, and entitled!
Today I went shopping in a large supermarket. Unlike the bliss of Canadian and American supermarkets, there is no need to provide public toilets in public buildings here in the UK. So after spending a chunk of money, I waddled up to the customer service desk and asked if I could use their bathroom.
“We don’t have a public bathroom.”
“I know, but I am 8 and a half months pregnant and I really need to go.”
“You can walk down two blocks to the McDonalds.”
“I think I will go right in the middle of your parking lot.”
She looked at me with her mouth open.
2 blocks to McDonalds... are you kidding me?
I walked out with my groceries, hiked my skirt up around my hips beside my car and peed right there.

That is hilarious! That is probably something I would think of doing but would never be able to pull it off because I'm not very good at peeing in front of people (at least not sober). Of course, it might have been different with an 8 1/2 month old baby dancing on my bladder.
I LOVE IT! You will need to resort to this with kids too. Mine have peed in several gas station parking lots that claim to not have restrooms.
Ha ha! Hope the person who mentioned the McD's option saw it!
J had a big crap in the car park at Tesco-Lotus yesterday. I've passed my sense of entitlement over to my kids -- coz when they gotta go they gotta go NOW! (the store does have public toilets but we never would have made it)
Anyway we provided some free fertilizer to the trees and plants that were thankfully nearby!
