Every time I get in my car to go somewhere I feel like I have to go to the bathroom (#2). It gets really bad sometimes so I stop at a rest area or gas station to go the bathroom. I can stop 4 or 5 times on a 4 hour drive. When I am at home I can just go once a day. It's worse when I have somebody riding with me than when I am by myself. It seems to be all in my head.

Is this normal?

You might want to see a urologist...could be an enlarged prostate or a UTI. Seriously.

I'm not talking about having to urinate...I'm talking about having to defacate. And, I'm a female not a male. Thanks for your comment though.

You should just go talk to your regular doctor and see what he thinks of the situation.

The same thing can happen with frequent urination in certain high-anxiety situations. Yours happen to be when you are in a car. Do you have a history of a car accident or get nervous when driving?

You probably suffer from a mid-range car sickness. I can feel my bowels acting up on car rides (not to work or anything). I also get headaches and dry mouth. It doesn't matter how many times I have driven that route. My ex used to live an hour and a half away, and I'd go see him every weekend.
It really makes it feel like a chore to go visit my family and I love them.

You could possibly have I.B.S. or irritable bowel syndrome. If you have anxiety about driving with other people in the car with you, this very well could be the problem. Does your stomach hurt when you have to go and is only relieved when you have a bowel movement? That is a typical symptom. You really should see a doc. though, no matter what the problem is.
You reek of farts. I shoot blanks, too.

I have a weirder one, every time I go into the library and especially into a used bookstore, I get the urge to defacate!
It sounds like I.B.S (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) If it is really bothersome, see a doctor. If it stops you from doing everyday tasks definately see a doctor. He might be able to prescribe medication to help with your problem.
you know thats not normal...poo.

i recommend installing a toilet bowl as your driver's seat. Then you can just drive and poop away.
IT could be a medical thing or it can be anxiety. I used to get it at the video store standing there looking for movies than on the way home i was okay. I'm not sure what it was I don't get it as much anymore but I think it still happens occasionally but i have alot if selfesteem issues i'm working on so maybe it is getting better. watch your diet. When I was younger I ate to much fast food and drank way too much caffiene both screw with your bodies chemistry.
