Question- shitting your pants in public

Anyone ever do this, or seen anyone do this? How would you handle this if you did this at the office? Would you be able to come in to work the next day and face everyone? If someone else did this, would you laugh at them, or try and console them or something? Let’s assume the person was not elderly, sick or handicapped, just a regular joe who maybe tried to fart and had an accident.

I had an uncle who did this while laughing at something my dad told him on the phone. He just went to the men’s room and threw the offended item away. I don’t think anyone knew he did it.

Why…did you poo your pants? Or are you asking for a “friend”? :wink:

Did it once, at my nan’s house, just me and her- she thought it was hysterical. Did it once at work (alone thank God)- luckily I was wearing nylon track pants that were easily cleaned, undies went in the rubbish bin. A couple times I feared I did it at work when passing gas, but luckily did not- I was just wondering what would have happened had I done it in front of others.

I’m really hoping you work outdoors…

I give you aha’s Ever shit your pants?

Just reading it could potentially change your answer.

Yep, that’s the reference I was coming in to provide. You’ll find several of us commisserating on such a thing. Oy.

I was in a little dime store place in eighth grade getting supplies for a science project. My mom took me. I was walking in the aisle where all the aisles are split, looking down each one trying to remember where felt was. I walk by one aisle, then keep going. I stop suddenly, turn around and look at the aisle I just passed. A poor old woman, probably in her seventies, maybe even older, was facing away from me and pushing her foot against the bottom of the display.

She had gone in her pants, and was trying to hide the offending evidence under the holiday display. Her khaki pants were horribly soiled. This store doesn’t have a bathroom. I went up to the counter and told the clerk quietly. I bought my stuff and left right after. It was sad. I didn’t want to see her have to face anyone about it. She was older and I know when you’re older some stuff like that happens out of your control. Still very embarassing though.

I’ve never even peed my pants since diapers, and have never dropped the kids off in the pants either. Luckily.

lieu, that thread is older than I am here. I remember a story where you shit your pants trying to bust a fart on a co-worker.

And that’s the moral of the story: If you haven’t shit you pants, you’re not trying to fart hard enough.

Hey, show a little decorum, huh? lieu doesn’t like talking about him, nor anyone else blowing ass.

This made me laugh far more than it should have.

That thread has become a permanent memory of mine. I visit it about once a year in honor of its greatness.

No. Why? Because I’m not a freakin 4 year old.

One of the reasons I’m changing jobs (I made a thread about it called “I’m niervous”; btw yes I’m taking the new job) is that I’ve been sick a lot but my boss doesn’t believe that such things as vertigo, dizziness or having an arm twice the size of the other are real illnesses. He also considers that being at work with a green face is unprofessional and lazy.

So while I have not shat myself in public, there’s been a couple of times I’ve had to say “excuse me” in the middle of a conversation, broken the sound barrier on my way to the bathroom, and later have had to explain to His Stupidness that when I say I am having stomach trouble it usually refers to a place slightly farther along the digestive tract, and if he needs a graph I can probably find one.

Would I be able to come to work the next day? Yeah. But I would also have made HIS life impossible.

“If you haven’t shit your pants, you’re not trying to fart hard enough”

Brilliant. I think I have found my new motto, unless someone has copywrighted it :wink:

Come to think of it, some entrepreneurial type could make a mint putting that on a t-shirt.

That’s not a very pleasant thing to say. I did it a few months ago due to suffering from bleeding diarrheas caused by ulcerating colitis. It was a humiliating, awful experience, but it doesn’t make me a “freakin 4 year old”.

I agree - very ugly attitude.

Food poisoning hit me while at work and I had to tie my sweater around my waist to go outside and line my car seat with newspaper. It was awful. It wasn’t a matter of being adult - it happened as I was trying to rush to the LR. Thank goodness no important meeting that day.

I was about 44 or 45 at the time and never lost control before - My coworkers were sympathetic and kind so I had no problem going back to work a few days later.

If you ever have a stomach virus or food poisoning MsSmith, I hope others are kinder to you than you are today.

Beat to the punch by lieu and scout1222–not that I couldn’t have predicted it.

I thought this thread was discussing pooing in situations NOT related to illness. Like incorrectly interpreted urges to fart, laughing, etc… No fair making fun of sick people!

Wow, a Cranky sighting. I’ll take that over a warm load in your drawers anyday.

I took a friend and his six year old son to a baseball game a couple of nights ago. Like most everyone, we viewed it as a license to ingest copious amounts of junk food; nachos, hot dogs, peanuts, etc.

After the game was over, we were strolling out thru the lobby and we stopped for a minute so his son could play on some rides in a kiddy area. He was jumping around, doing what young boys do when all of a sudden he just froze up. I walked over and looked at him more closely and his face was all beet red but the rest of him was all locked up. I said to his dad “Tim, I think Sam is having a seizure!” He really had me concerned. I turned to Tim and he’s doing his best to keep from laughing out loud but not being very successful at it. Tim goes “That’s his poo face.” I said “His poo face? What the fuck is a poo face?” Tim replied “He’s taking a shit.” Me: “Oh.”

I remember having dirty drawers several times as a kid but never did I just stop and intentionally pump one out.

That really needs to be chisled in granite somewhere.
