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?

PMSL funny having this thread running at the same time as one on sane people with a sense of smell using air fresheners.

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 19:14

damn right I am a namechanger!

Wouldn't you be?!?

not read whole thread...but are you a namechanger??

MavisEnderby · 14/01/2010 19:10

rofl.

hope the wormy creatures disappear soon.

A colleague of mine once set off the firealarm at work,because she sprayed tonnes of air freshener around after doing a particularly noxious smelling poo in the staff loos.Cos it is a fairly large hospital,2 fire engines and several hunky firemen were dispatched to our ward to investigate the source of the fire alarm.(My colleague spent her time hiding in the clinical room).

I think your story tops that one though!

PortiaPie · 14/01/2010 19:08

PMSL!! That was the best laugh I've had in a loooong time! Fantastic!

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 19:06

dogwood, I am Off Garlic Indefinitely

nothing quite like being trapped in a cubicle with something strong-smelling mixed with shit to destroy your liking for it

like not liking cider because I've tasted it on the way back up too many times

Thank you, oh thank you for that laugh!

Here is a holiday destination you might enjoy .

MrsChemist · 14/01/2010 19:04

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Am PMSL.

there, there.

TheFoosa · 14/01/2010 19:01

I'm never going to look at a garlic clove in quite the same way again

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 19:00

oh, and it burns like a bastard

like this

OP posts:
IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 19:00

ZZZen you push it up into the anus and leave it there

according to the sites I read the "garlic oil" is meant to kill them on contact when they come down

but it doesn't work so it's a moot point

am actually quite that I have done something SO stupid that people think I must be making it up

If you were eating that much garlic then the bit up your bum is irrelevant! you'll have stunk to high heaven anyway! surprised you didn't make your colleagues eyes water when you entered the room spoke to them.

ZZZenAgain · 14/01/2010 18:56

can I just ask how is the clove of garlic suppos to kill the ones that come down to breed ?

sellotape?

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 18:53

the worst thing is that it didn't even get rid of the worms

I should SUE all those hippy herb-bothering fucks on the internet who told me garlic killed worms

it DOESN'T

I am going to nuke the little fuckers with everything the chemist has got

heQet · 14/01/2010 18:50

I don't disbelieve you. I am keeping an open mind.

I am just laughing my garlic free arse off either way. I'm sorry. I am happy to take this at face (or should that be arse?) value, but that's the best I can do, I'm afraid. The embarrassing stories of others, when told as well as you have, are impossible to not laugh at.

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 18:50

erm, we did eat brissels sprouts with lentils

also with spinach, sweetcorn and salmon

I have just moved one of my two freezers inside form the garage and we are using up the odds and ends

tonight was cottage pie and brussels sprouts

I'm not fibbing, honestly! Somebody really is this stupid

ElenorRigby · 14/01/2010 18:49

yawn

ZZZenAgain · 14/01/2010 18:49

come on now. I believed every word till I got to the bit about brussels sprouts and lentils. No one eats brussel sprouts with lentils. I'm sure loads of people cram garlic up their bum though

krugerparkrules · 14/01/2010 18:48

Haha -sorry this is so funny.

I have done the brazen approach - I once farted in front of a colleague, a very obvious fart (I was pregnant and seemed to have lost normal ability to hold on) - for some reason i denied it and pretended that my shoes had made the noise! It was so lame, he knew i knew, but i looked him firmly in the eye and didnt budge on my "oops was that my shoes making that noise"

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 18:48

that link is one of the sites I went to

OP posts:
IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 18:46

ffs HeQuet I am NOT bullshitting! I did google and yes, I really did eat a tonne of garlic and shove some up my arse

In fact I did it twice

but only disgraced myself at work the once

it's true!! Hideously, excruciatingly true.

OP posts:
heQet · 14/01/2010 18:45

sorry, of course. I appear to be quite overcome. high almost. it must be something in the air...

heQet · 14/01/2010 18:45

zzz - better still, she should go in with a whole lot of them and hand the buggers out [grni]

RolandButter · 14/01/2010 18:44

lolat op

ZZZenAgain · 14/01/2010 18:44
