TIFU: i peed my pants during my permit test

yeah. you read that right. Well there is no way in hell anyone in my personal life can know this story, but i need to share it somewhere.

So i took my permit test online, which somehow made the situation worse. Before I started the test they asked for access on my camera and microphone….midway through the test I realize how BADLY i need to go to the bathroom. I had just come home from 7 hours at school in which I did not go to the bathroom so it was one of those ‘i need to pee’ moments. With a laptop in my hand, i start panicking, i stand up and speed walk in circles around the room and then i see a message on my screen that read something along the lines of, “We are detecting too much movement on your camera” and then something about how that breaks the rules and if i keep going, i’ll be kicked out for “cheating”

This makes me panic even more but I sit still to avoid getting kicked out. That was my mistake..the second i stopped moving my body gave up on me, and it started. And when it started, i couldn’t stop it. I immediately start awkwardly walking to the bathroom while trying to stop the pee, not activate the camera movement, and also look like nothings going on cuz they can freaking see me in my camera.

I place my laptop on the counter and then sit on the toilet to pee and with all the internal chaos i forgot my MICROPHONE WAS ON AND CANT BE TURNED OFF. that’s when a new message popped up about how my microphone is making too much noise and i might get kicked out. so then i start trying to pee in segments, probably making things worse. Thankfully, it ends at some point leaving me sitting on the toilet finishing my test.

TL;DR I passed the test while sitting on the toilet with peed pants at my feet. As far as i know there was some poor DMV worker who monitors those tests see me run around my room, pee my pants, realize this, go to the bathroom, and then heard me trying to pee discretely with a series of whispered, “what the fucking shit what the hell.” At some point i think i started apologizing to my screen and sat in my shame.

I guess I’ll never know how many ppl were on the other side of that permit test but i hope it gave them a good laugh.
