Re: Briefer Sightings

I guess there's no need for sightings in this thread to be recent? Here are a couple from my memory from back in my student days, both involving a guy having to get out of a car at an inappropriate place because he evidently couldn't wait.
1. I was at my student flat studying together with two others, helping each other prepare for an exam. The flat was part of a large complex owned by the university, situated in a private road off a very busy highway which ran between the motorways and the city centre. We were interrupted in our study by the sound of a car drawing up outside the window and braking hurriedly and noisily. The occupants were a young couple in their twenties. The woman was driving, the man was in the passenger seat, casual clothing. He got out, rushed to the sparse trees next to the stream nearby, and peed for a long time with his back to us. We were laughing as we watched through the window, though one of my friends was tut-tutting and saying it was unforgivable to pee next to a stream, and the woman in the driving seat could see us and was smiling and looking sheepish on behalf of her boyfriend/husband/brother while she waited for him to finish and get back in the car. It took him at least a minute before he'd finished! Small incident, but it made me think how desperate he must have got in the passenger seat of that car, probably on the way into the city off the motorways, and had had to tell her to pull in just anywhere because he absolutely had to go.
2. On another occasion I was walking along outside on that very same long busy road, but this time closer to the university than to home. The traffic was absolutely solid in a huge traffic jam. Suddenly the door of a car a little way ahead of me opened, and a young guy, student age, casual clothing, got out amongst all the stationary cars and ran to the other side of the road where there was some sort of building site. He seemed to want to pee somewhere on the site, but changed his mind (there was clearly no cover from the view of dozens of people around) and instead turned and ran along the pavement towards me. Meanwhile another young guy in the car was shouting something at him through the open window. And the driver, yet another guy, was looking unhappy about the sudden departure of one of his passengers. Anyway the guy passed me by at a run, with this really tense expression on his face. I could have told him that if he'd turn round and run the other way, he would come to some outdoor public toilets about 200 metres up the road, but I just let him carry on. He obviously wasn't in any state to stop and listen to me anyway. Since then I often wonder how and where he relieved himself (there really wasn't anywhere where he could reasonably do that in the direction he was running), and of course I often think about how bad it must have got for him to have to suddenly get out of the car like that and run away from his friends.
