  If I got to say, “Oh thank fuck I made it,” I’d be relieved, too.

    Idk I don’t seem to count myself as having made it until I’m sat

    In my experience there’s an inverse square law where the urge approaches infinity with proximity to the bowl

      This is so true. I’ve had accidents happen like right as I’m unfastening things rushing to sit down. I swear there’s a psychological component to this.

    I read it as a reflexive response to behavioral cues. There’s the “yeah I made it here” in the driveway, but as he approaches the bathroom his reflexes to defecate and micturate reengage more fully.

  That's the "I might be okay" moment, followed by the body's too early, "oh, we're there?" at the last few feet. Sometimes you can distract the mind a bit more by focusing on something else while you make the last steps. A lot like how flying works in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you have to notice something totally off-topic and forget you're about to hit the ground.

    Indeed. One of the most important steps to take to not shit your pants, is to stop thinking about how you’re about to shit your pants. 🙏
