Vein Popper #59 - Having to take a leak...during a movie... in a theatre

This drives me nuts! You're sitting in the movie theatre enjoying the hell out of a movie (wouldn't be a vein popper if the movie sucked and you didn't mind leaving!), then the call of nature hits you! A small tickle at first... easily put to the back of your mind. But like every great biological eruption, this micro shock is only a pre-cursor to the main event. But before it the flood gates can open, two things must first happen.

1. The storyline must get complicated, drawing together all the characters and associated problems into an intricate puzzle where, with one little detail, the whole plot will crystalize and become perfectly clear

and 2. The tremors of your bladder start building pressure and the simple act of crossing your legs causes your back teeth to start floating.

At this point and only this point, you are now ready to jump seats and walk over people to get to the facilities while praying to any and all gods that the mere act of standing doesn't slacken the muscles holding your violently shaking bladder together.

At this juncture, it will not matter how long it takes to go to the bathroom, be it 5 seconds or 5 minutes... you have MISSED the important plot detail. The rest of the movie will feel like there is something lacking... and that is because there is. My only advice is this. Get over it or pop a vein!
