7. hey once i was doing the dishes and i was holding in my pee. i had been holding it before i started with the dishes any. I got done, ran to the bathroom, and wet myself in front of the toilet.
8. Holding in a poo creates gas making you fart more, it's pretty cool.

13. My bladder is misshapen so I can never get the urine out
14. I was holding a pee while watching this video waiting for it to finish. Lol
15. Thanks for putting the "P" in Patreon. I've heard of some white kids, in black schools, who hold it in all day - because it's too dangerous for them to visit the bathroom. That's child abuse.
