The solution must surely be to not wait until you are home but urinate at some time during the day while you are out. Also while you are out drink less tea, which is a mild diuretic, water is fine.
If that fails just run home faster!

Well in the car the solution is to have a large empty bottle within reach!

Just wait another 25 years and there'll be no initial twinge - it'll be straight to code red, wherever you happen to be on your homeward journey.

It's good to know I'm not alone on this one.

Think yourself lucky. My reflex usually kicks in approximately ten minutes after *leaving* home. And its 90% psychosomatic.

I heard Simon Mayo call it a latchkey bladder. I to sadly suffer with this.

I once heard a lady caller on a gardening advice programme innocently say "I've got a Gold Splash right by my front door."

Why does this post generate multiples more comments than yesterday's interesting transport related entry? Why?

Google 'detrusor instability' or 'urge incontinence'.

Unrelated point. I see the BBC are using you for photographs.

Used to have the same thing getting off the bus where I used to live. It's a very weird thing, and as you say, completely subconscious and not related to any other bladder issues.

Happens to me as well.

This is definitely pavlovian, although, hopefully, without any dribbling.

Also very good to know I'm not alone on this. Ever since I've been a teenager I've had a strategic place to take refuge and relieve the symptoms which is halfway between the nearest bus stop/train station/tube station.

My neurologist informed me that 'latch key incontinence' was a well-known phenomenon. You are not alone!

In this regard, I always wondered about all the tea drinking that you brits supposedly partake in. From what I gather from watching endless BBC mini-dramas, I understand that 'putting a kettle on' and 'having a cuppa' goes on all day and all night.
Someone enlighten this poor yankee... is this all just TV or is it generally true?

No, it's true.

There's a great bit in the first series of Annie Griffin's 'The Book Group' when Anne Dudek's character mentions how the British seem compelled to start boiling water the second a visitor enters their home.
re: Alan and that link to the BBC article on the new KS2 SPaG test...
...I can't for the life of me see what is amiss with that East London line notice. Please, someone, enlighten me.
Oh yeah, and about the whole hair-trigger bladder thing: great post!

I have the same problem with my bladder before the start of a race, even though I've emptied it several times beforehand.
When getting home with a full bladder, it's a tricky decision whether to put the kettle on first or just having to go. Maybe there's a way of combining the two.

Can only suggest that the Shoreditch poster might contain a split infinitive (shock horror!)

@running correspondent - I cannot stop laughing at the image conjured up. Tea might (sometimes) taste like piss; it should never be made with it!
@jon - oh yes. In the door, coat off, shoes off, kettle on.
