A few years ago a friend of mine was on a train in the early hours of New Years Day. drunk as anything and feeling pretty delicate. She tried her best to hold it in, but in the end had to upend her brand new (and, at the time, totally cool) Hello Kitty bag, ralph into it as discretly as she could, and dump it sadly in the bin as she staggered home.
This made me gag. You may have just put me off a week’s worth of meals. Shudder
A guy unexpectedly tossed his cookies on the bus Friday afternoon (he had not appeared ill or drunk.) The driver was NOT happy and she made him get off, then called Transit to demand a fresh bus.
You made me read it twice…
The Japanese sense of Honor is truly amazing; I’ve heard of hara-kiri, but barfi-kiri is a new one to me.
King of Soup, yer ditty is pretty fandamtastic!
Mr. McQ got sick on the MARTA train one morning. It caught him by surprise and he hurled right into the lap of the guy next to him, all over a folded up suit he had in his lap! The guy tossed the suit, upchuck and all, at my queasy, apologetic hubby and stormed out at the next stop.
The only thing more embarrassing than vomiting in front of people is vomiting ON people. Blech.
As a sympathy puker, this is one of my worst nightmares.
The only time I’ve been puked on was by a baby, as a nanny. I promptly (involuntarily) puked on him in return. Then we both cried. Then we both had baths.
And thre baby learned an important lesson. Good nanny!
A thread that mentions vomiting and the Japanese has to have a Bush link
This line made me laugh uncontrollably for several minutes. My eyes are still tearing as I think about it.
Yes, I’m a sick, sick puppy.
The King of Soup that was priceless! 
I must confess, I did this once myself on a plane. We were coming in for a landing at Newark and there was really bad turbulence, unfortunately not too long after a sandwich and a couple cans of soda. Of course, the fasten seatbelt sign was on and even the flight attendants were strapping in, so no heading for the toilets. And as luck would have it, there was no barf bag in the seat pocket in front of me. Faced with the prospect of regurgitation reversal or puking all over myself and my seatmates, I just barely managed to keep it all in my cheeks and then re-swallow. I was afraid to open my mouth again until we’d landed and I was in the terminal to buy some breath mints. The worst part was… well, let’s just say I couldn’t bring myself to eat any chunky soups for a while after.
I’ve only truly lost it in public once in adulthood - out the window of a moving car on the highway. I did unfortunately get to see one friend drunkenly puke into another friend’s boot, though (while she was wearing it).
This thread is making me want to get my teeth cleaned.
I’m a sympathy gagger…never got all the way to sympathy puking yet. This thread is making me feel a bit queasy!
Lefty, I can’t honestly say I’m sorry, I guess, since I did it in compos mentis and intentionally, but I sincerely hope that your wife doesn’t know about this. Lsura, I’m sorry you saw it at all, but if you had that kind of sensitivity you should’ve never opened a thread with that title. Thanks of course to everyone who had kind, if undeserved, words for a really lame parody. Kalhoun, you should be grateful you never saw the Fiddler on the Roof takeoff I attempted in the thread in which someone wondered how to tell if an unlabeled jar of gefilte fish was any good.
For what it’s worth, if I had had time:
“is this trick that I know,” would have been “is a trick that I know.” Easier to sing aloud.
“if you like your tummy,” would have been “just as a precaution.” Which both scans better and makes more sense. Oh, well. If wishes were horses no one could have nice shoes.
And, as always, thanks to Eve, who starts the best threads and doesn’t seem to mind my being stupid in them.
Finding out it’s Morning Sickness?
:eek:
In elementary school, the bus driver never let us open the windows in the morning. Artificially hot air in a car has always made me a bit nauseous, so I nearly puked just about every winter morning on the way to school. Several times I couldn’t take it anymore, and did, in fact, puke all over the floor of the bus. The downside? The bus driver made me clean it up when we got to school. The upside? I had a seat to myself for most of the year!
