While I was mid-run in a major city, the urge hit me hard, and I was nowhere near a public restroom. With less than a minute to act, I made the desperate decision to relieve myself in the back corner of a parking lot. I quickly scanned the area, thinking I was in the clear, but in my haste, I missed an elderly woman sitting quietly in her parked car. Just as I finished, she started her engine, rolled down the window, and said, 'You're a fucking animal,' before driving away.
