Welcome to a session of the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee (TVPC) – this writer’s favorite fantasy. The story takes place in a high school not unlike other high schools. In this high school, however, there are strict rules regarding the toileting behavior of the school’s female students. Those who break the school toilet rules (including the rules against going to the bathroom in your pants) are brought before the TVPC to have their cases heard and their punishment given out if they are guilty. Meetings of the TVPC are called to order at 3:10 PM each school day in the TVPC meeting room – Room 222 of the high school. It should be noted that where this story takes place you need to be 18 in order to enter high school so all persons depicted, even though entirely fictional, are at least 18 years of age.
My name is Arnold Ziffel and I’m chairman of the TVPC. What follows are the summary minutes of the TVPC meeting of May 29, 2013. .
The first matter before the Toilet Violations Punishment Committee (TVPC) this afternoon is from the girls’ softball team. It’s not a toilet violation case from yesterday or today, but rather it relates to a case from a week ago. It was a week ago when Amber, a tall, muscular junior, got herself a punishment writing assignment and has yet to hand it in. Faithful readers of the TVPC surely know that when a girl gets a punishment writing assignment, she has 1 week to hand it in. The due date being today, Amber is now being called before the TVPC to be given one last chance to hand it in on time.
“For your sake, I hope you have it done,” I tell the Amber, the starting Catcher on the team. “I’d hate to see you get the assignment doubled,” I tell her. “Yes sir, here it is,” she states, holding up a packet of paper, “I was up late last night getting it done.” “It’s the word ‘urinate’ 1,000 times,” she says, shaking her head, “It’s all pretty stupid if you ask me.” “Well, maybe next time you won’t refer to it as having to take a piss,” I tell her, “Maybe next time you’ll remember to say you have to urinate, instead.” “That’s the proper name for it, you know,” I explain. “I guess so, sir,” she says, “But no one calls it that.” “People call it mostly what I called it,” she argues, “It’s so stupid that I had to write it 1,000 times just because my coach heard me say it.” “No, young lady, you had to write it 1,000 because YOU said it,” I correct her. “You used profanity to refer to a bodily function and that’s a violation of TVPC rules,” I inform her, “And I made you write it 1,000 times because you did it while representing the school as a softball player.”
“Well, that’s just stupid, sir,” she says again, “It’s just stupid that I had to write that 1,000 times just for saying that word.” “Well, it wasn’t like you said it quietly or something,” Coach Cooke chimes in, “No sooner had we stepped off the bus, when you practically yelled ‘Where’s the bathroom – I gotta take a piss.’” “You could have just asked where the bathroom was,” her coach points out, “You didn’t have to tell everyone in the whole place that you needed to urinate.”
“Urinate!” Amber laughs sarcastically, “There’s that word again – It must be magic or something.” “Urinate! Urinate! Urinate!” she rants on, shaking her head, “Urinate! Urinate! Urinate! – Maybe I should just practice saying it.” “You’ve already practiced writing it 1,000 times,” I point out angrily, “And if you don’t watch your attitude you’re going to be writing it another 1,000 times.” With that she rolls her eyes at me. “Now get this straight, young lady,” I tell her, raising my voice, “Proper young ladies do not piss – Proper young ladies urinate.” “I must not be a proper young lady then,” she snaps back sarcastically, “Because I can’t remember the last time I called it that.”
“That’s it!” I yell at her, banging my gavel in anger. “You’ll write ‘Urinate’ another 1,000 times,” I tell her angrily, “And you’ll report back here 1 week from now to hand it in.” “And I strongly suggest that you keep your mouth shut, young lady,” I yell at her, banging my gavel again, “Because one more word out of your mouth and it’ll be 5,000 times instead.” Wisely, Amber then decides that she has nothing more to say. Unfortunately for her, that decision came just a little late. Before leaving, though, I make sure she hands in the 1,000 times she has now. “You have to write it ANOTHER 1,000 times,” I point out, “You’re not going to get away with handing in the same 1,000 times next week.”
The next matter before the TVPC this afternoon is another bit of committee business – A most unusual bit of committee business. It seems that early this morning someone anonymously left a little packet for the TVPC. “When I got here this morning, I found a thick packet of paper in our mailbox,” reports our TVPC clerk, “It was in a clasp envelope and it just said ‘TVPC’ on the front.” “When I opened it up, I got a big surprise,” he says with a smile. He then goes on to explain that in the envelope he found a thick packet of paper – Paper on which someone has written “I will not soil my panties in school or any other time again” 1,000 times. “Obviously, I collect a lot of punishment assignments from the girls,” he says, “But I don’t think I’ve ever gotten one anonymously like this.”
As I look over this punishment assignment, I must say that I’m impressed. It’s a thick packet of paper to be sure. With 1,000 times of this 2-line sentence, it fills the front and back of 40 sheets of paper. It’s also written meticulously neat with 13 sentences on the front of each sheet and 12 sentences on the back. “This is about the neatest punishment writing I’ve ever seen,” I note, “Whoever wrote this obviously spent quite a lot of time on it.” “I’d hate to think that the girl who wrote this isn’t going to get credit for doing it,” I point out.
And that brings us to the issue before the TVPC today. “Do we have any idea who the assignment belongs to?” I ask the TVPC clerk. He just shakes his head “no.” “I checked through the minutes of the meetings of the last 3 weeks and I checked the list of writing assignments due,” he says, “And I couldn’t find anything that matches that sentence.” “Nobody had to write that particular sentence,” he tells me, “It’s just not a sentence that you typically assign the girls.”
With that, I figure there’s only 1 thing left to try. Passing the writing around the room, I ask the assembled crowd, “Does anyone recognize the handwriting on this?” I give it time for assignment to get passed around the room. “Um-sir,” comes a voice from the detention section – A voice belonging to Clarissa, a bright and outspoken senior serving detention for flushing a tampon down the toilet. “It does really make any sense,” she says, “But it looks like Miss Cooke’s handwriting. “I was thinking the same thing,” reports Mallory, here today serving detention for a panty-soiling last week. The pretty and likeable brunette points out that the way the writing takes the full space in the line is very much how Miss Cooke writes. “That’s definitely Coach Cooke’s handwriting,” chimes in Olive, a cute and very smart blonde-haired freshman, who is also serving detention for panty-soiling, “I’d recognize that handwriting anywhere.”
Of course, all attention in the committee room then turns to the aforementioned Miss Cooke – A pretty, young teacher and coach of the Softball team. “Yes, I wrote it and left it in your mailbox,” she says, an obvious look of embarrassment on her face, “I deserved the punishment so I wrote the lines but I didn’t want anyone to know I did it.” “So what you are saying is that you had an accident?” I ask her, “And specifically, a panty-soiling accident.” “Yes sir,” the pretty teacher and coach explains, “It happened on the bus coming back from the softball game last Friday afternoon.” “I had to go at the game but I didn’t want to use the port-o-potty there,” Coach Cooke explains, “Someone had made a mess all over the toilet seat.” “I know it’s not an excuse – I know we just have to use whatever bathroom is available,” she explains further, “But that port-o-potty was just so disgusting with poop all over the toilet seat.” “I’ve never been more ashamed of myself as when I lost control and messed in my panties on the bus,” she says. “That was even more disgusting than it would have been using that port-o-potty,” she adds, “But, of course, I didn’t realize that when I had the chance to use the port-o-potty before.” Coach Cooke goes on to tell us that she did manage to hold in some of it, though. “I guess my mess wasn’t as bad as it could have been,” she tells us, “I did manage to do some of it in the toilet once we got back here.” “And I guess that’s why I didn’t get caught when it happened,” the Coach says, “I managed to get to the bathroom in the coach’s office and get myself cleaned up before anyone found out what I did.” “But just because I didn’t get caught doesn’t mean I didn’t do it,” she says, “I still messed myself and I did it while representing the school.”
“So you decided to issue yourself a punishment?” I ask her, “And you tried to do it anonymously?” “Yes sir – Mr. Chairman,” she answers. “Like I said, I had the accident and I knew that I deserved to be punished for it,” she then explains, “But I was still really embarrassed – I still didn’t want anyone to know what I’d done.” “So I figured I could just do the punishment myself and then hand it in anonymously,” she explains further, “That way I figured I could be punished but still no one would know that I’d had an accident in my panties.” “I didn’t mean to create a big issue like this,” Miss Cooke says, “I was just trying to do the right thing.” The pretty, young coach and teacher’s shame in all this is quite evident.
“Well, accidents do happen sometimes – Obviously, it’s really embarrassing but you’re certainly not the first coach that it’s ever happened to,” I tell Coach Cooke, “And I think it’s rather noble that you decided to step up and take responsibility for what you did.” “As I’m sure you know, the TVPC only has the power to punish female STUDENTS for their accidents,” I point out to her, “As a teacher and coach you really didn’t’ have to write this at all.”
“Yes, Mr. Chairman, I knew that,” she says, “But, like I said before, that just didn’t seem right.” “It just didn’t seem right that my girls could be punished for having an accident when I couldn’t,” she adds, “If my girls had to be punished for having an accident it only seemed right that I should be punished for having one, too.” “And you also decided to punish yourself quite severely,” I point out. “I mean, I know it was an accident while representing the school and we have to punish that more severely,” I point out, “But assuming that you’ve had no other accidents, your punishment would almost certainly have been only 500 times instead of the 1,000 that you wrote.” “Well, sir – I guess I was thinking it’s more severe when a teacher does it,” she explains, “I mean, it’s bad enough when a high school girl does it, but I think its far worse when one of their teachers has an accident.” “We’re supposed to set an example for our students,” she adds, “And messing in my panties because I didn’t want to go in a port-o-potty sets a very poor example.”
That’s a noble sentiment and I once again commend our lovely Softball coach for doing what she did – I mean, I commend her for writing the 1,000 times not for having the accident in the first place. But I also point out that writing punishment isn’t the only punishment what panty-soilers typically get. “In addition to the writing assignment, panty-soilers typically get detention,” I point out, “And a panty-soiling while representing the school typically gets a girl detention time sitting on the toilet.” “I mean, if you really want to take full responsibility for your accident, it only seems right that you take the full punishment,” I tell her. After some consideration, Coach Cooke agrees – She’s not happy at the prospect of toilet sitting punishment (in a student girls’ room, of course), but, once again, she knows it’s the right thing to do. She’s probably thinking that already having gone so far as to write 1,000 long and tedious punishment sentences, she might as well do this, too, and keep her conscience clear. I do allow her the caveat of serving her toilet sitting detention on days when she doesn’t have a softball game to coach and I offer the choice of girls’ rooms (student girls’ rooms!) to do her sitting punishment in. “I guess I’ll do it in the girls’ room down near the gym,” she says, “I guess that’s as good a place as any.”
The next girl to face the TVPC this afternoon is Lisa, a shy, bookish, but actually quite pretty sophomore. She is charged this afternoon with soiling her panties and she’s got a big bulge in the back of her jeans that proves that. But as I read the Violation Report filed by Miss Defequer in this case, I see that Lisa is charged with soiling her panties on purpose. Faithful readers of the TVPC surely know that a girl soiling her panties on purpose is a more serious violation than when a girl merely has an accident. But faithful readers of the TVPC also know that intentionally soiling (or even intentionally wetting) is a very difficult charge to prove. As I noted, Lisa’s messed panties are readily obvious, but how do we know that she did it on purpose? As long as a girl puts up any resistance to the bowel movement coming out in her panties, it’s only an accident and not intentional as far as the TVPC is concerned.
“She did it on purpose – She definitely did it on purpose,” states Miss Defequer, our French teacher emphatically, “She deserves the extra punishment for messing intentionally.” “That’s just disgusting, Lisa,” she admonishes the pretty, blonde sophomore, “How can you just go in your pants like that.” “What’s wrong with you?” she asks Lisa, “How can a girl your age just stand there and mess herself like that?”
But, not surprisingly, Lisa tells a different story. “It was just an accident,” Lisa asserts, “I mean, obviously I did mess myself but I certainly didn’t do it on purpose.” “I admit it was my own fault – I admit that I didn’t go to the girls’ room when I should have,” the sophomore continues, “I was definitely trying to hold it in when it happened.” “I just didn’t want to go in the school bathrooms,” she says, “You know how much I hate to go poop at school.” “I was trying to hold it in so I could go at home,” Lisa explains, “I certainly didn’t want to have this load in my panties.” “But I just couldn’t hold it in long enough,” she explains further, “But just because I couldn’t hold it in long enough doesn’t mean that I did it on purpose.” Her good friend Tessa is here to support her and she backs up Lisa’s story. “Its true sir – Lisa really doesn’t like to do bowel movements at school,” Tessa tells us. “I’ve been trying to get her to do it in the girls’ room when she needs to and sometimes she does,” Tessa continues, “But today she had an accident instead – It was just one of those days.”
Miss Defequer is left just shaking her head at the toilet-troubled girl’s explanation. “It was only 4th period and already you had a mess in your panties,” her French teacher tells Lisa, “And you’re telling me that you were trying to hold it in until you got home from school.” “Well, I guess you didn’t quite make it,” Miss Defequer mocks Lisa. With that, Lisa just gives her teacher a dirty look. She knows she doesn’t have to argue the point because the TVPC rules are on her side. It doesn’t matter that Lisa pretty much knew she wasn’t going to be able to hold it in long enough to get home. As long as Lisa tried at all to hold it in, it’s just an accident. As long as Lisa didn’t actually push the bowel movement out into her panties or at least let it come out without any resistance, she can’t be punished for doing it intentionally.
But just as I’m about to find Lisa guilty only of having a panty-soiling ACCIDENT, Miss Defequer has a surprise for me. “If you really were trying to hold it in like you said, maybe you can explain to Mr. Ziffel what you were doing standing in the stairwell before,” she tells Lisa. But the pretty, blonde-haired sophomore just looks at her teacher puzzled. “Well, that’s where your accident happened – In the stairwell – Wasn’t it?” she asks Lisa, “You were standing alone in the stairwell when she actually messed in your pants, weren’t you?” “I guess so,” Lisa answers, now suddenly looking a bit worried. “Well, maybe you can tell Mr. Ziffel what you were doing in the stairwell in the first place,” Miss Defequer continues. She goes on to tell us that Lisa was seen going down into the stairwell by herself and then assuming a sort of half-standing/half-squatting position. “It’s kind of funny how you just happened to have the accident while you were squatting there in the stairwell,” she continues at Lisa, “That’s kind of an amazing coincidence, isn’t it?” With that, Lisa looks about ready to panic.
Warning her first of the consequences for lying, I demand an answer from Lisa. As she breaks down crying, Lisa now starts to tell a different story. “All right – I did it on purpose,” she admits, as the tears really start to fall, “I wasn’t really trying to hold it in like I said.” “But that’s only because I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to hold it in,” she explains, “I know I wasn’t going to be able to hold it in until I got home.” “It wasn’t like I wanted to have a mess in my panties – I really hate that,” she says, “It’s just that I had to go so bad I knew I wasn’t going to be able to make it home without having an accident.” As I question Lisa further, she tells me that she had to go starting in 1st period this morning and she could tell that it was going to be a lot. “I knew I wasn’t going to be able to hold it in and go in the toilet at home like I always want to do,” Lisa tells me, “I knew it was going to end up being an accident, no matter how hard I tried to hold it in.” “And when you’re trying to fight it really hard to hold it in, it usually makes a really bad mess when it comes out anyway,” Lisa explains, “It really does make a less of mess if you don’t fight it.” “It makes a lot less of a mess if you just let it come out naturally,” she explains further, “So I just let it out so I’d have less of a mess to clean up later at home.”
While the rest of the committee room reacts in surprise to what Lisa is telling us, my own reaction is simply outrage. Even her best friend Tessa looks disgusted at what Lisa did. “It doesn’t make any mess at all if you just do it in the toilet like you’re supposed to!” I yell at Lisa, “Using the toilet is what you should be doing if you’re really concerned about the messes in your panties.” “Yes, sir – I know going in the toilet is the best thing,” Lisa answers, “But you know how I hate doing that in school.” “You know I would have held it in if I could,” she says, “But I knew that I just couldn’t.” “I really didn’t want to do the mess in my panties – I know it’s disgusting,” she says, “But I just couldn’t wait until I got home.” “My mom makes me clean up my messes at home when I have accidents,” she adds, “And I was just trying to prevent the mess from being that bad.”
“I don’t care if you like using the toilet at school or not!” I yell at Lisa some more, “It’s what you have to do when you need to have a bowel movement at school – Especially when you know you’re not going to be able to hold it in long enough.” “And to just let it out in your panties on purpose is a disgrace,” I tell her, “How can a girl your age just squat down and let it out in her panties like that.” “I don’t care that it makes the mess easier to clean up,” I lecture her. “It should be hard to clean yourself up when you mess in your panties,” I point out, “That’s why most girls you age go in the toilet when they need to.” “Like I said before, you don’t have ANY mess to clean up when you do it that way.” “That’s just really gross, Lisa,” Tessa chimes in disapprovingly.
My name is Arnold Ziffel and I’m chairman of the TVPC. What follows are the summary minutes of the TVPC meeting of May 29, 2013. .

Unfortunately for her, that decision came just a little late. Before leaving, though, I make sure she hands in the 1,000 times she has now. “You have to write it ANOTHER 1,000 times,” I point out, “You’re not going to get away with handing in the same 1,000 times next week.”

As I look over this punishment assignment, I must say that I’m impressed. It’s a thick packet of paper to be sure. With 1,000 times of this 2-line sentence, it fills the front and back of 40 sheets of paper. It’s also written meticulously neat with 13 sentences on the front of each sheet and 12 sentences on the back. “This is about the neatest punishment writing I’ve ever seen,” I note, “Whoever wrote this obviously spent quite a lot of time on it.” “I’d hate to think that the girl who wrote this isn’t going to get credit for doing it,” I point out.
And that brings us to the issue before the TVPC today. “Do we have any idea who the assignment belongs to?” I ask the TVPC clerk.

That’s a noble sentiment and I once again commend our lovely Softball coach for doing what she did – I mean, I commend her for writing the 1,000 times not for having the accident in the first place.

But faithful readers of the TVPC also know that intentionally soiling (or even intentionally wetting) is a very difficult charge to prove. As I noted, Lisa’s messed panties are readily obvious, but how do we know that she did it on purpose? As long as a girl puts up any resistance to the bowel movement coming out in her panties, it’s only an accident and not intentional as far as the TVPC is concerned.
“She did it on purpose – She definitely did it on purpose,” states Miss Defequer, our French teacher emphatically, “She deserves the extra punishment for messing intentionally.” “That’s just disgusting, Lisa,” she admonishes the pretty, blonde sophomore, “How can you just go in your pants like that.” “What’s wrong with you?” she asks Lisa, “How can a girl your age just stand there and mess herself like that?”
But, not surprisingly, Lisa tells a different story. “It was just an accident,” Lisa asserts, “I mean, obviously I did mess myself but I certainly didn’t do it on purpose.” “I admit it was my own fault – I admit that I didn’t go to the girls’ room when I should have,” the sophomore continues, “I was definitely trying to hold it in when it happened.” “I just didn’t want to go in the school bathrooms,” she says, “You know how much I hate to go poop at school.” “I was trying to hold it in so I could go at home,” Lisa explains, “I certainly didn’t want to have this load in my panties.” “But I just couldn’t hold it in long enough,” she explains further, “But just because I couldn’t hold it in long enough doesn’t mean that I did it on purpose.” Her good friend Tessa is here to support her and she backs up Lisa’s story. “Its true sir – Lisa really doesn’t like to do bowel movements at school,” Tessa tells us. “I’ve been trying to get her to do it in the girls’ room when she needs to and sometimes she does,” Tessa continues, “But today she had an accident instead – It was just one of those days.”
Miss Defequer is left just shaking her head at the toilet-troubled girl’s explanation. “It was only 4th period and already you had a mess in your panties,” her French teacher tells Lisa, “And you’re telling me that you were trying to hold it in until you got home from school.” “Well, I guess you didn’t quite make it,” Miss Defequer mocks Lisa. With that, Lisa just gives her teacher a dirty look. She knows she doesn’t have to argue the point because the TVPC rules are on her side. It doesn’t matter that Lisa pretty much knew she wasn’t going to be able to hold it in long enough to get home. As long as Lisa tried at all to hold it in, it’s just an accident. As long as Lisa didn’t actually push the bowel movement out into her panties or at least let it come out without any resistance, she can’t be punished for doing it intentionally.
But just as I’m about to find Lisa guilty only of having a panty-soiling ACCIDENT, Miss Defequer has a surprise for me. “If you really were trying to hold it in like you said, maybe you can explain to Mr. Ziffel what you were doing standing in the stairwell before,” she tells Lisa. But the pretty, blonde-haired sophomore just looks at her teacher puzzled. “Well, that’s where your accident happened – In the stairwell – Wasn’t it?” she asks Lisa, “You were standing alone in the stairwell when she actually messed in your pants, weren’t you?” “I guess so,” Lisa answers, now suddenly looking a bit worried. “Well, maybe you can tell Mr. Ziffel what you were doing in the stairwell in the first place,” Miss Defequer continues. She goes on to tell us that Lisa was seen going down into the stairwell by herself and then assuming a sort of half-standing/half-squatting position. “It’s kind of funny how you just happened to have the accident while you were squatting there in the stairwell,” she continues at Lisa, “That’s kind of an amazing coincidence, isn’t it?” With that, Lisa looks about ready to panic.
Warning her first of the consequences for lying, I demand an answer from Lisa. As she breaks down crying, Lisa now starts to tell a different story. “All right – I did it on purpose,” she admits, as the tears really start to fall, “I wasn’t really trying to hold it in like I said.” “But that’s only because I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to hold it in,” she explains, “I know I wasn’t going to be able to hold it in until I got home.” “It wasn’t like I wanted to have a mess in my panties – I really hate that,” she says, “It’s just that I had to go so bad I knew I wasn’t going to be able to make it home without having an accident.” As I question Lisa further, she tells me that she had to go starting in 1st period this morning and she could tell that it was going to be a lot. “I knew I wasn’t going to be able to hold it in and go in the toilet at home like I always want to do,” Lisa tells me, “I knew it was going to end up being an accident, no matter how hard I tried to hold it in.” “And when you’re trying to fight it really hard to hold it in, it usually makes a really bad mess when it comes out anyway,” Lisa explains, “It really does make a less of mess if you don’t fight it.” “It makes a lot less of a mess if you just let it come out naturally,” she explains further, “So I just let it out so I’d have less of a mess to clean up later at home.”
While the rest of the committee room reacts in surprise to what Lisa is telling us, my own reaction is simply outrage. Even her best friend Tessa looks disgusted at what Lisa did. “It doesn’t make any mess at all if you just do it in the toilet like you’re supposed to!” I yell at Lisa, “Using the toilet is what you should be doing if you’re really concerned about the messes in your panties.” “Yes, sir – I know going in the toilet is the best thing,” Lisa answers, “But you know how I hate doing that in school.” “You know I would have held it in if I could,” she says, “But I knew that I just couldn’t.” “I really didn’t want to do the mess in my panties – I know it’s disgusting,” she says, “But I just couldn’t wait until I got home.” “My mom makes me clean up my messes at home when I have accidents,” she adds, “And I was just trying to prevent the mess from being that bad.”
“I don’t care if you like using the toilet at school or not!” I yell at Lisa some more, “It’s what you have to do when you need to have a bowel movement at school – Especially when you know you’re not going to be able to hold it in long enough.” “And to just let it out in your panties on purpose is a disgrace,” I tell her, “How can a girl your age just squat down and let it out in her panties like that.” “I don’t care that it makes the mess easier to clean up,” I lecture her. “It should be hard to clean yourself up when you mess in your panties,” I point out, “That’s why most girls you age go in the toilet when they need to.” “Like I said before, you don’t have ANY mess to clean up when you do it that way.” “That’s just really gross, Lisa,” Tessa chimes in disapprovingly.
