minding your Pees & qs!. . .wanna know just the right time for a pee break. . .? - NewtonMP2100 - 07-31-2009
. . .during a movie. . .?
Web site helps time mid-movie bathroom breaks
. . .The mid-movie dash to the restroom can turn us into calculating Hussein Bolt wannabes: Ah, this looks like a lull — time to dash.
When we return to our seats, we pray the answer to "What did I miss?" isn't "Darth Vader is really Luke's father" or "the girlfriend is really a guy."
The Web site RunPee.com can help with such anxious guess work.
The site provides recommended opportunities to race to the restroom. It tells you when the action or romance wanes, and gives you a cue for your exit.
The site tells you how long you've got and even summarizes what you missed. Since early July, RunPee.com is available as an iPhone app, too.
Launched last August, RunPee took off earlier this summer. It's been one of the season's runaway hits — a clever idea that has spawned a lot of word-of-mouth from moviegoers.
"Helping your bladder enjoy going to the movies as much as you do," the site boasts.
It was created by Dan Florio, a 42-year-old Flash developer who got the idea during the three-hour-plus "King Kong" remake in 2005.
Florio, who lives in Orlando, Fla., with his wife, does everything for the site, though he gets some help from his wife and his mother. He's become a regular opening day attendee of movies, busily taking notes in the back row. . .
go...with the FLOW. . .

...or you could just forgo the obscenely huge sodas at the concession stand.

no...No...NO...that's not the American way. How can you possibly enjoy a movie WITHOUT at least a 64 oz soda, a 2 gallon bucket of popcorn, and several "King Size" candybars?? You don't get the physique of "Comic Book Guy" without putting some effort into it...
humorous aside - At least week's Comic Con, it seemed like at least a third of the attendees were variations of the above (yes, the women too)...

Jeez, I probably have the smallest bladder or anyone I know, and even I have never had to take a pee break at a movie theater during the show. The key is to empty out beforehand. How tough is that to figure out?

:agree: But apparently some people cannot figure out this secret trick...

Those 64 ounce cups can hold quite a bit.
Most theater floors are pitched downhill away from your seat, not unlike a DWV pipe.
