Uber triggers more bathroom pit stops

Is it just me, or does Ubering cause you to make more frequent trips to the bathroom? I swear, I gotta pee every 2-3 hours and I’m really not drinking my water.

Am I alone on this?

I have been having this problem too but it had to due with diet ,blood pressure and weight gain. All three of these contributed to the urgent need to pee . I have changed my ways and am trying to eat healthier and if at the LAX or LGB airport lots walk a couple times around the pen. It has helped some and am on track to lose 50 lbs. It is working for me so far wish me luck !

When I have to pee really bad is when I get the long rides.

I have a problem where when I am at home I only go #2 once a day, but when I am driving, I have to go really bad for about 3 times, in about 3 hours starting out, and then after that I am fine.

You may want to see your Urologist. While it is unhealthy to hold your pee, there is a medication that will strengthen your prostrate and regulate your pit stops more responsibly.

Depending on where you live and drive, you may pass Dunkin Donuts ir other stores, restaurants or even pizza stores, their bathrooms are normally or always clean. Your rider will have to understand and they may also have to go. Don't be shy and don't wait until it's too late and you gotta go bad.

Don't knock Depends. There are more drivers than you realize who use Depends for their "what if" urinary surprises. Wear them well and to your best advantage.

I have another theory, along with prostate issues. It's the constant vibrations from the engine and the road that are affecting drivers. We all know that the highways in LA/OC aren't the smoothest. Maybe no potholes, but some are nasty! The 21o makes me think all my tires are out of balance! ?

Sitting in an office chair doesn't have this issue. If I'm driving, I have to make a pit stop every hour or so, no matter how much I drink or don't drink.

Opinions?
