to curl up and die of embarrasment!

[killagorilla]

Ok I have name changed for this because I am so so embarrassed.

Just got back from a weekend away with DP and his family camping. I have a thing about pooing in public toilets, hate it cant do it! So you can imagine my dismay when I arrived at the campsite to see portaloos :(

I thought I would be clever and take Imodium, popped one didn't think it was working. I admit this was a really stupid thing to do but I took quite a few more.
On the second evening my FIL cooked up a BBQ and we were sitting round eating and I felt that "urge". I tried to ignore it but it kept getting worse and worse until I literally felt like I was going to poo myself.

I got up to run to the loos and was horrified to realize I wasn't going to make it in time. Dashed into the tent and grabbed a bin bag, dropped my kegs and ...well you know.
Half way through my DS rips open the tent flaps (wanted to know what I was doing) and my DP's family saw everything.

I'm so mortified, ARGH how am I ever going to face PILs and BIL again?
DP keeps attempting to give me sympathy but keeps breaking out in fits of laughter. I feel like I want the ground to swallow me up!

YANBU :o

[pinkyredrose]

Sorry but . . .

[Pandemoniaa]

Could have been worse. You could have been dressed as an elf.

[usualsuspect]

Is that you poo troll?

[lunamoon]

Killagorilla-sorry I couldn't stop laughing at your post either.
My only advice would be to never go camping again. Instead save up and pay for a decent hotel with proper, decent toilets.

[SPsFanjoLovesRussellHoward]

Have nothing helpful to say! Too busy laughing

[belizabus]

I thought Imodium stopped you pooing?

[usualsuspect]

Imodium does stop you pooing.

[killagorilla]

My DD's christening is next week, how can I look PIL's in the eye. I am seriously considering feigning illness and letting DP go it alone. ARGH oh god I'm so

[melliebobs]

Lol WTAF??!! Why on earth would you tank up on Imodium ? The mind boggles

[belizabus]

Then I don't get it? What am I missing here?

[killagorilla]

belizabus and usualsuspect So did I , I feel like suing them! I think I may have taken to many because I was being a cocky twat!

[killagorilla]

Imodium is basically an anti shitting pill that apparently has the opposite affect on me. (For anyone that didn't know)

[helenthemadex]

oh dear, I'm so sorry and want to say something supportive but I have to admit I laughed and am still laughing very impressed that you managed to squat, hold bin bag and go at the same time thats multi tasking

They probably guessed what you were doing, its unfortunate that they also saw what you were doing. You cant have hidden in the tent since it happened, was anything said, not sure what they would say in this sort of situation

bet they didnt offer to take the bin bags to the bins though

[kinkyfuckery]

How did Imodium give you the shits??

But YANBU - you should be completely embarrassed. Can't hide forever though, dust yourself off and get on with it.

[killagorilla]

helen Oh they saw what I was doing all right. I was in all my glory, bare a*se and wellies. My DP took the bin bag, I stayed in the tent as long as possible, reading my son the same bedtime book over and over again. He thought it was great!

[monsterchild]

I don't think you should be too embarrassed! It's hilarious, and Im sure they will try hard to forget it! It will be one of those funny stories in the family lore.
It's exactly the kind of thing that would happen to me!

You'll have to teach your Ds to ask before ripping open a tent!

[blisterpack]

What is the purpose of Imodium? Is it taken if you have diorrhea? (or however it's spelled)

[mrscumberbatch]

Wow. That's amazing.

Congratulations!

From 0 to 100% mental daughter in law in one fell swoop. It's impressive

[Pandoralight]

LOL! Sorry I'm in fits of laughter. :o

I wouldn't worry about it though If you managed to speak to them after the incident/and next day, just carry on as normal next time you see them.

When you've got to go...you've got to go :o

[killagorilla]

blisterpack yeah if you have diarrhea it stops it. However, in my festival days I used to take it to stop me from pooing the weekend I was camping as didn't want to use portaloos or drop holes. 10 years later at a campsite in wales however....

[angeltattoo]

No advice - just sympathy. Lots and lots of sympathy. I actually think I would have to leave the country.

P.s. A friend had to shit in a carrier bag at a festival once. You are not alone.

[Whitamakafullo]

Pmsl

Sorry OP, but that really made me laugh

at 'dressed as an elf'

[helenthemadex]

bare ase and wellies* sounds like a scene from a Jilly Cooper book.

How were they with you after? are they the sort to be horrified of their bare arsed DIL or turn it into a joke to help you get over your embarassment ie turn up with a bin bag for you just in case at the christening
