As it is, many of us paruretics (“paruresis” is the medical name given to this condition) already experience pre-trip jitters as we contemplate, “how am I ever going to fly (x amount of hours) without emptying my bladder?” So we refrain from drinking liquids, become dehydrated as a result, and sit there in our seats squirming and/or developing a panic attack.
Those with a serious case of shy bladder won’t even bother flying or traveling by train, boat, car, etc. in the first place.

This proposed policy sounds to me like cruel and unusual punishment.

NOW I know by not using I’m helping the environment and saving money. Thanks for the good read!!!!
