Let me go first because it happened just now.

My dog, leaning over me as I laid on my side, vomited right over me straight into my ear canal, down my neck and in my hair.

Brand new bedsheets and all.

Huge breast abscess burst. Pus was literally firing out, must have been well over 500ml of it by the end. We had guests too so I had to excuse myself and stay upstairs for like an hour while it gushed out into many rolls of toilet paper.

Thanks for convincing me never to own a dog.

Not me but XH - told him repeatedly not to play aeroplanes with DS when he was a baby ...
XH lying on his back, laughing at DS (just after DS had been fed) and....yup, DS threw up in XH mouth 🤣

Heinz Pineapple pudding in case you're interested...🤣

My dd threw up in my mouth once 😄, similar thing although she hadn't just eaten

EMETEPHOBES KEEP AWAY from this thread!

I can't think of anything but I'm sure there will be a trigger here somewhere soon to remind me....

Happened to me. DS threw up water straight into my mouth and I was so horrified I swallowed it.

Thankfully it wasn’t sour. Just warm 🥴

My toddler boy came and threw a huge poo at me that he did in the bath 😂

Sorry but that made me laugh out loud 😂

Stepped on sloppy dog shit with my bare foot.
Stepped on a slug and accidentally squished it with my bare foot.
Stepped on the entrails of a dead mouse with my bare foot.

I no longer walk barefooted.

On a train, a very long time go, bloke sitting opposite me (both in corner seats, nobody else very near) started trying to chat me up. Didn’t want to be chatted up so pretended to be nodding off.

Once the train was pulling into my station, I ‘woke up’ - to find the bloke opposite wanking all over my new shoes! 🤮🤮

Calmestofallthechickens · 16/05/2026 17:45

My daughter vomited just as I lifted her out of a bunk bed, so it was pretty much directly above me, like a shower.

My job (vet) requires a strong stomach - I’ve amputated a necrotic leg, picked maggots out of wounds, had all manner of body fluids on me - but to be honest I don’t find it that bad, I think the need to focus on the task at hand overrides the disgust, and it’s often quite satisfying because I get to resolve whatever the gross problem was. I’m pretty squeamish outside of work though.

I was holding DS (then 3) in my arms in the sea on holiday, on an island in the Maldives. A boat came into the harbour nearby and caused some large waves. DS had his mouth open squealing and gulped a huge mouthful of seawater, that slapped against my norks into his mouth. He promptly threw up, with the remains of his lunch, right down the cleavage of my bikini.

A shoal of tiny fish swam into my bikini top and started eating the sicky mess, wriggling everywhere between us, while he cried and threw up some more.

I have done #3 and it did come to mind when pondering the question.

Long story short I was on a tiny island more of a large rock with about 30 strangers having got there in kayaks. Nothing on the island apart from vegetation and trees. A questionable BBQ the night before meant several of us needed a number 2. I found a nice secluded spot with a perfect looking large leaf for wiping. Picked up leaf whilst in precarious squatting position, someone had already used the leaf for the same purpose! Screamed, toppled backwards into my own pile. I had someone else's shit on my hand and my own shit all over my back! Everyone was very confused when I ran out of the trees into the sea fully clothes but its the only thing I could think of to resolves the situation.

Making memories on holiday!

I ran over a dead rat with a lawnmower.... the cat had left it under the trampoline in long grass. I moved the trampoline to mow the grass and....🤢🤢🤢🤢 You can guess the rest 🤢🫢

Chiefangel · 16/05/2026 17:52

My lovely boy dog emptied his anal glands all over my jeans when he was sat on my knee. The smell is an absolutely putrid disgusting smell.

corndawg · 16/05/2026 17:54

Giving birth.

ohyesido · 16/05/2026 17:57

My DS brought a dead bird home to show me, and placed it in my bare legs (shudder)

Iamblossom · 16/05/2026 18:02

I went to the loo on a train. Reached for the toilet paper and someone had had horrific diarrhea and shoved their dirty used toilet paper back into the clean dispenser. Hand came out covered in someone else's shit and the water tap wasn't working.

It’s okay I was laughing too through the disgust 😂
He’d never seen a poo before as he did them all in nappies, he was so amazed he wanted to show me haha.

I was about ten and at a summer holiday club. We were playing a game in which we lay on the grass and a giant inflatable globe rolled over us. All good fun until the giant inflatable globe picked up a dog shit and rolled it over my hair.
