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?

Phone in sick and tell them you have an awful, awful stomach bug.

It will explain all and you'll get sympathy!

If there are any mums out there on MN who picked up their child from a particularly stinky nursery today, now they know why

JustAnotherManicMummy · 14/01/2010 19:54

Surely it's gross misconduct to launch a biological attacks on one's colleagues?

Melaniefhappy · 14/01/2010 19:52

You have just suceeded in erasing a hideous day for me- not many things make me laugh out loud. But this did.

You deserve a big class of wine, if not the bottle (just this once, and seeing as you are now unemployable and all..)

Incidentally, I would second getting the c.v. out- but not sure what terms they could fire you under if (excuse the pun) push came to shove...

Rusty that IS one of the links I saw

I didn't really think about taking it out though - how would you manually remove it? Doesn't bear thinking about! I assumed it would just be shat out the next time I needed to go - which would never normally be at work!

PMSL. If hadn't done quite so many pelvic floors it would be carnage here.

RustyBear · 14/01/2010 19:48

Umm - if Incontientia had found Heqet's link during her research, she would have seen the vital words 'To be removed in the morning'......

If you call in sick now, they will all be there tomorrow saying, "she called in sick because of the turbo shit she did yesterday."

At least if you go in they can't discuss it in front of you.

cathcat · 14/01/2010 19:47

This is why you should never stick things up your arse and then go to work. What goes UP must come DOWN.

Miggsie - your post had me ROFL.

choufleur · 14/01/2010 19:41

PMSL. i'm trying to laugh loudly as DS is going to sleep.

I would have to call in sick with a tummy bug.

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 19:36

yes but "funniest threa ever" threads are usually wind-ups

this is my actual LIFE

I might have to call in sick tomorrow and then just pretend nothing has happened on Monday

Stable door and all that, but that site recommends inserting the garlic at bedtime And Removing It In The Morning!

Mallenstreak · 14/01/2010 19:35

This thread(worm)is hilarious. I choked on my chocolate trifle while reading it to DS & DH. Personally I wouldn't be able to face going in tomorrow but look on the bright side - at least you won't get any vampires biting you on the arse!

TotallyAndUtterlyPaninied · 14/01/2010 19:34

This is one of the funniest threads on MN ever. Totally cheered up a depressed fat pregnant lady... so it was worth your pain

Get hunting on the job sites.

bellissima · 14/01/2010 19:32

Just tell them you had food poisoning (I mean, in a way, you did with that combination). Thanks for making me chuckle on a dull grey Thursday!

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 19:25

I DO wash my hands before eating

JustAnotherManicMummy · 14/01/2010 19:24

Bet you wished you'd washed your hands before eating now eh?

PMSL

blissa · 14/01/2010 19:23

heQet you are wicked!

Best of luck for tomorrow op

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 19:20

I NEVER poo at work

this is very unlike me, normally I am very clean and un-stinky

the shame tomorrow is going to be dreadful

OP posts:
heQet · 14/01/2010 19:18

Yes. If I wanted to tell the world I had shoved garlic up my arse and taken a monster dump that gassed everyone within a 5 mile radius, I'd make sure I didn't do it under my usual username.

OP - don't be surprised if you go in tomorrow and your collegues all look like this

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 19:17

I just cannot stop laughing. It has spawned THE best in-joke one liner on a thread ever. Thank you TheFoosa

Northernlurker · 14/01/2010 19:16

Home now, laughed freely till I'm actually crying.

Miggsie - very entertained by your high powered incontinent Great Dane too!
