to want to quit my job NOW and never, ever, ever, ever go back, and cross the street if I see anyone coming who has ever seen me there?

I have far and away the most humiliating and revolting experience ever to share with you. I swear every word is completely factual.

A few days ago I discovered to my horror that I have threadworms. Not having any vile chemical preparations in the house, I decided to go the natural route and googled to find out what to do. I used various things but the relevant one is garlic. I ate three chopped up cloves of garlic each evening and shoved a scored clove up my arse before bed, to kill the ones which come bown to breed.

I went to work today and had horrific flatulence; this may be linked to the dinner of lentils and brussels sprouts I had last night. The stench was truly disgusting and there was just far too much wind to be able to hold it in, so I had to let it out in stages and hope for the best.

I work in a nursery and naturally everybody assumed it was the children. I ended up changin three children who hadn't pooed themselves just to avert suspicion from myself.

It got to the point where I felt a large and insistent turd descending and needed to go and let it out. So I slipped into the adult loo (there is only one) and sat down on the toilet to be greeted by a sort of "pop" as the clove of garlic popped out, then a long stage-whisper of impacted fart, then a massive turd. The smell was so strong I could almost taste it, and to my utter horror the air-freshener was all gone and the window jammed. I stayed in there for as laong as I could get away with but after about ten minutes somebody started trying the door, so I had to come out. Three consecutive colleagues then used the toilet - the smell of rotting shit-and-garlic pervaded the entire nursery and people were actually considering going home early because they felt sick.

Naturally everybody is pretending they don't know it was me - but everyone knows. It still stank in there when I left.

So AIBU to never, ever darken their doorstep again?

Northernlurker · 15/01/2010 16:30

Never mind - worst things happen at sea.

(Thats assuming persons at sea adopt the garlic cure, not otherwise )

Mallenstreak · 15/01/2010 16:30

OP - please update us asap. Has everyone at work got a cats bum face today?
By the way I hope your 'threads' are not as long as this one!

caramelwaffle · 15/01/2010 16:28

Hahahahahahahahha

It does'nt get better does it?

piprabbit · 15/01/2010 16:25

Go and buy some carbon tablets - tonight ideally, won't get rid of the sound effects but may help moderate the stench.

Well done for putting a brave arse face on it.

IncontinentiaBotox · 15/01/2010 16:22

OK so I went to work

a few horrid little smiles and a bit of an atmosphere - but nothing too terrible, I managed to keep my head down and avoid being too noticeable for most of the day

until five minutes before the end, during circle time, when I leaned forward to restrain an escaping 3yo and snapped off a brief but horrifyingly loud cabbagey guff right into the face of the snooty trainee teacher sitting behind me

HeadlessLadyH · 15/01/2010 15:03

OP, I need to know if you went to work today and what the fallout of your arse has been.

StealthPolarBear · 15/01/2010 14:44

glad thats how you felt but horrible you didnt want to come out vto use the loo

GetOrfMoiLand · 15/01/2010 14:24

Oh yes I forgot about Reality's spreadsheet.

Come on OP - confess who you are!

SpeckledHen · 15/01/2010 14:22

SPB I guess it is awful. I had never thought about it like that. I certainly wouldn't want that to happen to one of my dds. At the time I didn't know how to fend him off. I was relieved by the interruption but did not feel violated just felt afterwards it was funny.

lucyellensmumagain · 15/01/2010 14:22

SH i would have pissed in his fucking suitcase!!

StealthPolarBear · 15/01/2010 14:07

SH that';s awful

When I was 19 I was an au pair in Italy. The family had a male friend to stay and they went out for a meal. He left them and came back early saying he was unwell and came and sat with me as I babysat and snogged me. I was to young and out of my depth to know what to do. He put his willy in my hand and told me to twist it I think his English was bad or he was strange but anyway the family came back thank God and he jumped off me and went to them and I went straight to bed and the family did not know. I needed a wee but didn't dare come out. I never wanted to see him again. I weed on my towel and hung it out to dry the next day after a handwash. My lady employer who was very toffee nosed kept complaining about the 'puzzo strano'. That makes me chuckle to this day.

Does your spreadsheet comply with the Data Protection Act Royalty?

Have been chucling on and off about this including this am when I woke up. Could not tell dh why as he would think me strange! Anyway, how did you get on today? You did go to work today didn't you? It is the thought of the other staff saying they would have ot go home because of the smell that gets me!!! Anyway I would brazen it out. I used ot work in a job where I needed clearances and I would tell you for sure that there is a difference between knowing something since you have been told it and suspecting something. No one can know it was you - the person who came after you may think that the person in before you left the loo in that state. And the person that came in after her might think it was her!! If I were you I would complain as loudly as the rest about the smell and contribute to discussions about how it could have occurred. You will be laughing about this for years and will never be able to tell anyone in real life!

lucyellensmumagain · 15/01/2010 13:53

I wonder how many of those on this thread with children in nursery have been trying to sniff out the OP?? I guess she will be the one with loads of strong smelling perfume!

MrFibble · 15/01/2010 13:25

EMIGRATE!

GetOrfMoiLand · 15/01/2010 13:21

Oh this is so so funny.

OP - who are you - come on, reveal it to all your MN friends

And why oh why did you eat sprouts for dinner, have you now had enough flatulent fun for one week?

caramelwaffle · 15/01/2010 13:19

*mistake it for lazy chilli

(although mixing it with lazy chilli could not be that much worse, surely?)

caramelwaffle · 15/01/2010 13:16

...and don't, whatever you do mix it up with lazy chilli

SkipToMyLou · 15/01/2010 13:14

MadamDeathstare, should you decide to proceed, please post a video of you attempting to stuff garlic up a cat's behind. If you're not in A&E having been mauled to within an inch of your life, that is.
