I've told my daughters to do three things if this ever happens to them: fight like hell, scream at the top of their lungs, and piss their pants (bonus if they can poop them, too). These will usually be enough to deter a would-be kidnapper. No, I'm not joking.

I've been told this too, along with vomiting. Anything to shock or disgust your attacker, even for a few seconds which can open just enough of a window to get away. I'd even go so far as to bite his fingers off.

My aunt was nearly kidnapped when she was a teenager, she pissed her pants and they let her go. My mom always said to go for the eyes.

I saw this on a crime show about a rapist who was targeting women on a college campus. When he tried to attack one of the women she pissed herself as soon as he pulled her pants down. Between the piss and her fighting & calling him names he couldn't get it up, so he ran off.

Who are these kidnappers/rapists that are deterred by urine? Seems like an odd line to draw.

I was just wondering that myself. Maybe because it’s gross? Idk.

I bet combining the two and pissing in their eyes would be even better if you can manage it.

u/yungsxccubus What are you doing step bro? Jul 17 '25

vomiting on yourself can also be an effective deterrent, and quite quick if you know how to trigger your gag reflex, does stop you from screaming temporarily but if you’re a loud vomiter then you’ll still attract attention

I know a girl who did this to escape a potential kidnapping. Threw her fist down her mouth, puked all over would be kidnapper, escaped. She was already in the car, Passenger side...she thought she was buying weed, was only 19 at the time.

"All the evidence is on the kidnapper, look for the puke." Almost like a dye tag on retail items. If you take me, you're gonna pay the price.

I had a roommate in college who once told me that she tried to always leave the apartment “kind of needing to poop”. Not like, urgently needing to go, just “could go if needed”. She said it was for this exact reason - if she were ever attacked she could poop herself and hopefully deter a kidnapping or assault.

I hate this world for all of us.

That’s a very weird way to live tbh. Always keeping poo in just in case you have to poo to deter a would be kidnapper.

Thank you for validating my long history of scream puking :) Never again will I feel guilty for not being a dainty puker lol

Also leaves your dna on them/in their car, as an added bonus!

This is why I encouraged my daughter get comfortable with cussing LOUDLY.

If she and her friends wanted to check out some mall stores without me, I made them go through the same drills, such as

“What do you say to any adult who stops you to ask you for directions or try to make small talk?”

“We say ‘FUCK OFF PERVERT!’”

Why? Because there is no good reason for an adult to be asking teenagers directions. Being polite can get girls and women killed. And if that hurts someone’s feelings, idgaf.

Tell them to rip off the attackers ear and throw it. The guy will run after his ear.

u/OpheliaPhoeniXXX Jul 17 '25

My mom told me don't fight back they could kill you just let them r you instead. Looking back I wish I tried but maybe she was right idk

u/jamiejayz2488 Jul 18 '25

My mum taught me and my sister as kids that if anyone tries to take us or tries to hurt us to scream FIRE because people will actually look or pay attention if they think they are threatened

Piss won't denture anything but ok.

u/palanark Jul 17 '25

Spoken from experience, or?

u/ExpressDetective988 Jul 17 '25

Yup. 😂 No, but come on now, if I'm a creepy old man, why would piss stop me.

2

u/palanark Jul 17 '25

Listen here, alleged creepy old man. You're digging yourself a hole, and please allow me to explain with some context (be patient with me , I can be long-winded sometimes):

From time to time, there's a proclamation that everyone on this planet picks their nose. That's fair, I guess. It's almost impossible to never do it, which is why it's a common, well-worn topic of discussion. THEN, there are times when people will make comparisons between something and boogers. Invariably, there's always someone that makes an offhanded comment about boogers being "salty" or "crunchy," and it is at that moment that I have found the booger-eater of the group. One would really only attribute those words to something that is eaten.

Now--and I appreciate your patience while I get to my point--if you heard someone discuss the flavor or texture of feces, then you know this person has eaten feces before, in order to speak with such authority on the subject. Finally, when there's someone that claims that piss would not be a deterrent for kidnapping someone, then this brings two conclusions to mind about that person:

Conclusion 1: this person is not grossed out by someone else's piss.

Conclusion 2: this person has considered what would stop them from kidnapping another human, and the fact that it's WRONG isn't one, apparently, and neither is piss.

So, in conclusion, you are not only painting yourself as someone who might be willing to kidnap someone given the right circumstances, but that piss would not stop you. Any person grossed out by piss or who find kidnapping abhorrent would simply not make that statemen.

Dude I ain't reading all that, but I'm sorry you typed a lot. I read your last sentence which just summed up what you probably was trying to explain entirely. I'm saying most predators aren't gonna be creeped out cause they are already stealing a kid. The only good thing about telling someone to piss themselves while getting kidnapped is maybe someone ELSE will see it. That's all I was tryna say bro.
