Driving back to AZ through Southern California, I had to pee really bad, so wife took the he next freeway exit. We stopped at a hole in the wall donut shop and wife, paying customer, got a donut. I asked to use the restroom and was told they were out of order. Walked next door to a gas station, no restrooms (locked). Told I would gladly buy something. Denied. Out of order. Walked to the hotel next to that. Explained that I just needed to use the restroom. Wouldn’t even let me in the lobby. Walked next door to a Denny’s, refused to give me the door code. Explained that I just needed to pee and have been to 4 places near by. Drove to another gas station down the block, was denied again after saying I’d buy something. Really about to piss myself at this point. Have a complete mental breakdown in the parking lot in front of my wife. Was humiliated. Finally had to beg a Wing Stop to let me pee, like a subservient dog begging to be let outside. If it had been diarrhea I would have shit myself. I feel like a toddler. Was humiliating that a grown adult has to be denied basic bodily functions during a road trip. Today I was pushed to my breaking point and completely lost it. This entire ordeal has broken me. Dehumanized me.

That really sucks dude and totally should not have happened. We have cultivated a world that cares nothing for people outside themselves and cannot recognize/relate to the human condition to offer any sort of solace or compassion. The good news is not everyone has been infected and there is still some love here. Much love from here now in the meantime.
Indeed.
