Most grim 'yuck' thing that's happened to you

Inspired by a response in another thread...

I live in a block of flats next to a canal. One warm, dusky, summer evening I took my rubbish to the bin store and..... stood on a decomposing rat. It was a monster, I was wearing fabric ballet flats and it went with an almighty pop. I was stood on decomposing rat guts up to my (bare) ankles. I couldnt even take my shoes off as there was broken glass on the floor so had to shuffle back home with rat gut shoes

Anyone care to beat that?

Similar to one up thread but when DS was 2 days old, my husband was changing him and he projectile poo'd, a bit hit DH shoulder but most hit the wall and slid down to cause a little poo mountain on the skirting board.
I came out of my room to investigate the sounds of horror coming from DH and I laughed so much a burst my post birth stitches! Ouch!

Many years ago I was a student nurse on night duty. It was New Year's Eve.

One of my patients had a particularly nasty lung disease that caused him to bring up huge amounts of infected sputum. It was green and stinking and he used to spit it into a large metal mug, which stood on his locker.

Just before midnight he knocked the (full) mug over and it rolled under the bed.

As the midnight bells rang out, I was on my hands and knees under the bed, mopping up the stinking, slimy mess with towels, and simultaneously heaving into another receptacle as the strains of revellers singing "Auld Lang Syne" drifted on the still night air.

I also have tales of maggots.

I got smelly unidentified bodily fluids up my trouser leg yesterday.

Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.

As a student nurse, cleaning poo out of dentures.. poor patient (had severe dementia). I had to seriously focus trying not to heave as I cleaned them in the sink and tried to find some way of safely disinfecting them.

DD had recently started weaning. A couple of hours after a lunch of purreed courgette I was lying on the floor, lifting her above my head & she was laughing away.
Then a stream of hot green puke poured out of her mouth & straight into my laughing, open mouth...

Once made a cake & as I went to crack the first egg it imploded on impact. It squirted the most vile, rotten fishy odour over the worktop & all down my trousers. I had to scrub the worktop, double-bag the cake mix & bin it, & wash my clothes.

Out shopping once with my daughter walking through a shop and a girl walking past us suddenly vomited, no time to react to move out the way 😫 both of us on the receiving end over our shoes. We went home 😳

Violetroselily · 05/09/2020 18:50

@bellmyring

at a BBQ with colleagues, and had to move inside later in the evening due to rain. grabbed a nice corner alcove seat with friends and we chatted away and drank. Noticed the leather was sticky/wet on my skin (shortish dress, commando!), but ignored it. Coming back from bathroom a bit later I see my friend with here phone light on. We'd been sitting in a puddle of cum Angry.

Got a bit drunk that night, and stayed over. In bed my BF was kissing/licking me all over. I didn't bother to mention it to him Blush

This is revolting

In a dodgy part of town one evening, I walked past a woman leaning over giving a guy a bj In a doorway beside the shop. While I was in there she came in to buy vodka with money he’d obviously given her. Except she had semen on her face, dripping down her coat, on the cash....everywhere. I dropped my shopping and left.
I felt sorry she had to do that for money but just couldn’t go near.

TheoriginalLEM · 05/09/2020 18:51

Shit dripping off end of nose

Bargebill19 · 05/09/2020 18:58

Dh went to put his slippers on. It was early morning in a very low beamed bedroom.
Cue lots of swearing and banging on the ceiling with his head which gave rise to more swearing.
He had put his foot into a mouse, the cat had loving poked in to his slipper for safe keeping.
I nearly wet the bed with laughing so much.

2020nymph · 05/09/2020 18:58

Got a call from DS school saying he wasn't feeling well. Walking home he suddenly projectile vomits splattering us and the pavement. Walk him home, strip and shower, then sit him next to DH (patient zero) it's a bowl, while I go back with many bowls of hot soapy water to clean up. The person whose house it was in front of came home during the clean up. Blush

NoHunGosh · 05/09/2020 18:58

Oh. Well it's a toss up... 1) walking through a great big dog turd while wearing Bitkenstocks and having to scrape stinking shit out of my toenails in a bar in Spain or 2) realising dog was choking on something whilst walking in the woods, sticking my hand in his mouth and realizing from the stench, appearance and consistency that he was actually struggling to swallow human poo 💩

mylittleyumyum · 05/09/2020 18:59

I accidentally ate a slater.

Persipan · 05/09/2020 19:02

The time I woke up to the sound of the cat retching, just in time for him to throw up over me in bed...

CatbearAmo · 05/09/2020 19:10

Nothing can beat exploding rat.

But the best I can think of right now is when I lived in SE Asia in a cockroach infested apartment. It was so infested that me and my flat mates invented a points system for killing them. 3 points for big ones, 2 for small, 1 for the babies. Points doubled if you caught them while on the move.
We had a score board on our fridge and we all were over a hundred points each before we got to move out.

darciesdreams · 05/09/2020 19:13

I'm not sure it quite tops the rat but I've stood barefoot on a slug before. That was grim.

Sparklfairy · 05/09/2020 19:16

Just reminded me of another one. When I was about 10, the cat started retching in the living room. Thinking fast (and feeling very proud of myself) I went to put her outside, except the back door was through the hall and the other end of the kitchen. I made it to the hall and swung the poor cat 180 degrees just as she threw up, spraying it all the way up the walls. DM was not impressed.

This is my worst, but it's sad. Above cat's sister had been ill for a while, back and forth to the vets. She took a turn and DM decided to take her in again. She was clearly in pain, yowling and really unwell. We put her in her basket on my lap in the passenger seat, and before we even started the car she had an attack of the most severe and vile smelling diarrhoea all over my lap. In panic and shock I lifted the basket which meant said diarrhoea started going all over the car seats and down in between them. It was mayhem. Essentially it turned out the poor cat had kidney failure on my lap. Sadly she was put down but it took weeks to get the smell out of the car, involving removing seats and all sorts.

ArfNArf · 05/09/2020 19:17

Was in my kitchen keeping half an eye on my almost 2 year old son in the garden. I could see him cuddling and kissing something as he toddled back up the little path to come back in. I believed it was his teddy

He came in the back door and I looked at him to see a huge, wet, bloodied dead rat in his arms. All I recall is shrieking PUT IT DOWN PUT IT DOWN over and over again. Then stripping him off and popping him by the kitchen sink where I literally washed him down with a mild bleach solution before putting him in the bath.

Ten years later, still get flashbacks

Craftycorvid · 05/09/2020 19:27

Once picked up Dcat only to realise she had explosive diarrhoea, all over me. Those clothes went straight in the bin!

Nearly drank a spider that had somehow got in the coffee pot and drowned. Yes, my lips touched it Envy🤢🤮

FippertyGibbett · 05/09/2020 19:28

Picked up an ‘empty’ beer bottle that had been dropped in a hedge near my house.
It wasn’t empty, maggoty beer ran all over my foot and I was wearing flip-flops 🤢🤮

Cattenberg · 05/09/2020 19:29

I was about eight and at a children’s school holiday club. We were playing a game where we all lay on our backs on the ground and a giant inflatable ball rolled over us.

Sodding inflatable ball picked up some dog shit and rolled it over my head.

Nellisterr · 05/09/2020 19:30

Not my story but my husband was around 15 years of age and had a very tame budgie. It used to walk around on the floor etc. On Christmas morning there were toys/wrapping paper everywhere and one of the children received one of those balls attached to a hoop that you wear on your ankle and swing it about... My husband went to play with it... Not realising the budgie was amongst the Christmas chaos, swung the toy and took the top of the budgie's head clean off. He still tears up with shame and regret to this day when the incident is mentioned Shock

RaraRachael · 05/09/2020 19:30

Visited elderly relative in care home who used a walker kind of thing with a little seat attached to it. We noticed there was an unpleasant smell and thought she was farting. Smell continued so we asked her if she wanted the toilet. She didn't so eventually we took her back to her room. went to fetch her glasses out of the liftup bit of the walker seat and somebody had shat in it!

Mummadeeze · 05/09/2020 19:31

I sat in someone’s diarrhoea on the bus once. I hadn’t noticed it when I sat down. I then had to do my entire commute home reeking of shit. It was a bit mortifying.

AMomHasNoName · 05/09/2020 19:37

I got up one morning . Clicked the kettle on and made myself a cup of tea. There was just enough water left in there for 1 cup. About 30 mins later i went back for another tea and needed to refill the kettle. When I opened the lid to put water in. There was a dead boiled slug in there.
Yes , I had in fact made and drank a cup of tea that morning using slug soup. Yuk
