[Charu]

We've all been there, you're listening to a lecture taking notes or you're in the middle of helping a client/patron/customer. Suddenly, it hits you like a brick. You feel it banging, demanding to be let out, but there's no escape in sight. You can't leave and break for it without looking like a maniac or outright embarrassing yourself.

...People of FFR, young and old, what do you do in this troubling situation?

Usually I tend to hold it for as long as I can. When I can't, there's no choice, I excuse myself and clench my fists as I try to walk normally to the nearest restroom. For me, my work has a public one that's shared with the patrons. So it's double fun if you're someone that treasures privacy.
