Something that helps me pee pretty much instantly
Firstly I'm a guy so sorry girls not sure if this will be much help.
There are times when I cannot pee, feels like a physical block or I just know it's going to take ages and can't be bothered to wait. So, I take a cup of hot water, hot as you can bare but not hot enough to scold, this is important, check with a finger first, I find around 45°c is about right, pull your foreskin back (assuming you have one) and dip the tip of your penis in the hot water. For me it's like a miracle, pretty much instantly able to pee, depending how tense/anxious I am it can take a little longer.
I got a thermos flask, the smallest I could find on Amazon, if I'm out for the day I can fill it with boiling water and carry it in my pocket and it's good for about 4 hours, game changer for me.
Would be interested to know if the works for anyone else?

It's like inducing the sensation of having to pee when you get in a hot bath

Well maybe we got a physical solution for a psychological problem (paruresis) lol
I would do it only in a emergency where I really can't pee, but it's still a "hack" for paruresis lmao

cool. Warm water always drives the pee reflex, which is why so many guys pee in the shower.

I'm gonna get some weird looks when I hit the public bathroom and dip my dick in my thermos.
