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?

Oh dear oh dear.

heQet · 14/01/2010 18:42

I take my hat off to you op. you certainly did your research!

garlic up the bum

oh, and that is not a picture btw tis safe.

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 18:40

I am for real

I don't think I can tell them about the worms, I think that would just be the cherry on the top of my reputation as the skankiest scumbucket ever to walk the earth

I don't think I can mention it at all actually

I will have to pretend I don't know that they are pretending they don't know it was me

if I walk in there tomorrow and everyone goes quiet, or sorse still if it still smells, I am going to have to pretend to faint or throw up or something

OK, if you are for real with this real dilemma, you could just say that you ODed on garlic capsules. If needs be you could say that you were taking it for the threadworm if you feel you need to come clean about them. No need whatsoever to mention any cloves up where the sun don't shine.

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 18:36

they definitely all know it was me

for one thing I was walking and blushing like someone who had just done a large toxic shit and spent ten minutes marooned in a small enclosed space with it

and I'm not kidding when I say I had to change my clothes, they stank of it

garlic, ffs

it couldn't have been worse

Undercovamutha · 14/01/2010 18:34

I am in stitches. The funniest thing I have read for a long time.

I think you should go in tomorrow and never mention it again.

Everyone will know it was you, and will probably be talking about it behind your back, but at least you don't have to actually broach the subject.

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 18:29

DON'T

please, please don't!

amazing what you learn here

not that I'll be trying it anytime soon

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 18:23

if you shove it up far enough the urge to push it out doesn't happen

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 18:22

OurLady I can see why you think so but I honestly, really, truly am NOT making any of it up. It's all true, including the changing nappies - the style of the OP is quite over-egging, but if you were going to confess something like this how would you phrase it?

For some reason it's really important to me that people BELIEVE me - I think I am traumatised

And really, truly, there is a person out here who is going to have to walk into that nursery tomorrow and face everybody!

If you drink half a bottle of mead you get honey flavoured farts (according to my DH).

A good antidote perhaps?

YANBU....stay away for a few days and invent a tropical disease that you cannot risk giving to the children thus preventing you from going in for a week.

My cat had worms and the vet's treatment was way nicer than that.

I once got stuck in a traffic jam in a hot car with a cat that had just had an enema so can completeley symathise with the smell making you want to chuck up.

I also had a friend with a Great Dane that was incontinent and every time it barked a little turd shot out at toddler eye height...that was also vile. Although someties it missed people and just hit the wall.

GettinTrimmer · 14/01/2010 18:04

Doesn't compare Incontinent, but I had really bad wind on Christmas Day and had to keep leaving the room or my in-laws would have got it. Nothing worse than having to hold it in.

how you managed to avoid whistling when farting, is beyond me.

pmsl

OurLadyOfPerpetualSupper · 14/01/2010 18:01

I still think this stinks of a wind-up; the brussels sprouts and lentils were too good to be true, and the lingering detail on such things as changing clean nappies smells to me of someone egging the puidding.

SolidGoldBrass · 14/01/2010 17:58

WHAAAAHAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(SOrry OP.)

TheFoosa · 14/01/2010 17:57

maybe you should change your name to nevergooglegarlicbutter

TheFoosa · 14/01/2010 17:52

how long was the garlic clove up there for?

how did you not want to push it out?

this is why yiu should NEVER google

Ladyanonymous · 14/01/2010 17:49

Thankyou thankyou thankyou...

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 17:46

fess up about the garlic? I would rather die

OP posts:
ohmeohmy · 14/01/2010 17:45

leave now... and ride like the wind

FlightAttendant · 14/01/2010 17:43

I disagree with the general consensus, if I was told this was due to actual illness it would be even worse to bear...I think you need to fess up about the garlic, they will think you are barking but it will make them laugh more and boak less.

IncontinentiaBotox · 14/01/2010 17:39

Peedoff, I SWEAR on the lives of my children that I haven't made up a single word of this - it is absolutely, completely, hideously true

I can still fucking smell it - garlicky shit
