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.

Trodden in cat puke a few times, squishing in between my toes. And my cat that I have now as a kitten tried to get me up at 5am to play. I wouldn't get up so she pissed on me. Tbh, it worked, I leaped out of bed. Cost me a new duvet and mattress topper that pee did.

I think I have got off lightly compared to other stories on here.

I woke up one night, my daughter had appeared next to me in my bed. She had been sick in her hair, my hair and all over the bed and gone to sleep. She had long curly hair, so a bath in the middle of the night complete with hair washing took ages, plus mine and clean bedding.

Daughter was eating an orange flavour Club biscuit, bit into it, she'd bitten through a little maggot. Sent it to Mcvities in a tub, they didn't return the tub but sent her vouchers, we still eat Club biscuits.

(A surprisingly enjoyable thread to read, laughed lots, thanks)

Being drugged and gang raped 40 years ago ( im 67) waking up with my sheets stained with urine .
.blood ... faeces and semen.

I am so sorry this happened to you. This is truly awful

In Paris, stood in dog shit up to my ankles while wearing sandals.

FlashHeartFly · 16/05/2026 19:05

Stood in dog sick in bare feet.

and when I worked in a vet - had to help a cow who had a retained afterbirth. For three days. So rotting meat, 38° ish for three days. The smell was…. There are no words for the smell and I was sick in the yard all over my wellies.

i was comforted by the very leggy and very gorgeous calf who after birth it had been though. She was sweet 😂

New Cat had a stomach bug and had been to the vet.

she hadn’t been fed but found enough inside her little body to puke and shit in her carrier, whilst it was sitting on the passenger seat as I was driving home.

cue me shouting ‘OH MY GOD… OH JESUS THATS FUCKING DISGUSTING’ for the duration of the journey home.

Or the time I decided to try matcha latte ( who drinks that and thinks it’s nice ???? )

Went to the cinema with DH and 2 kids. Bought ds a bottle of Pepsi. I don’t usually like Pepsi, but decided a few mins into the film to have a swig of DS’s Pepsi. The little bugger (about 9 at the time) had necked the entire bottle and used the cover of darkness to them piss into the bottle. I took a mouthful of his piss and spat it onto my own clothes. Then had to spend the best part of 2 hours sitting in my piss covered clothes. We don’t have good luck with piss and cinemas. Once took them to see a Disney film and dd was little and sitting on DH’s knee. She obviously was engrossed (about 3yo) and needed a piss so she just pissed all over herself and DH so they had to sit covered in piss. Luckily on that occasion the film had almost finished so we went straight home.

Both kids are grown up now and I transitioned to wiping up elderly parents sick, piss and shit. Along with the random voms the dog likes to do. The other day I used a clean T shirt that I was putting away to catch dog sick when the bugger started retching on the landing carpet.

I have cleaned up the most gargantuan amount of sick, shit and piss. I now don’t go anywhere without a thin pair of disposable gloves.

My friend lived in a student house. There was a leak in the kitchen ceiling which dripped directly onto the drying up. Many months later they eventually realised the leak was from the toilet in the bathroom directly above 🤮.

Also, same house, when they eventually cleaned the bathroom and lifted up the toilet mat, it was a seething mass of maggots.

CinnamonSalt · 16/05/2026 19:30

I was heavily pregnant desperate for the loo in a cafe you had to ask for a code, the waitress said the lights were dodgy so it might be a bit dark. I went in as a guy was leaving, he said it’s a bit smelly and the lights were out, was on the verge of peeing so just held my breath and sat down, then realised the seat was really wet. The lights flickered a bit and I looked down to see the toilet was covered in diarrhoea, it was all over the seat and down the side of the toilet onto the floor.
I cried!

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.

Do you walk about with your eyes closed?

Apologies if you have a visual impairment!!

I have also walked barefoot on the entrails of a mouse, left on the landing in the night, when I went to the toilet without bothering to put the light on!

Bought salmon fillets from fish counter in supermarket. They put it in this silver packaging and seal it with this machine press. Put it straight in the freezer at home. Couple of weeks later had people over for a bbq. Had some freezer stuff out on the sideboard defrosting. Someone came and told me one of the packs was buzzing and vibrating. We cut it open to find 4 huge blue bottles slowly coming to life on top of the salmon.
🤮🤮🤮🤮

MrsDeltaB · 16/05/2026 19:41

Off the top of my head although I’m sure many more:

Youngest daughter on holiday abroad, around 4, fully trained said suddenly needed to poop. And she did.
She hadn’t had diarrhoea before so didn’t realise, raced her back to the hotel, chucked her in the bath and blocked the bath beyond belief.

same child, on a London day trip on the train, literally did hamster cheeks, no warning. Put my hands out and yeah, caught it. Looked at husband for help, he had an empty Costa cup, got the rest into that at least and went to look for a bin, wandering up and down train aisle with a literal cup of (warm) sick.

I see I'm not the first one here mentioning stepping on slugs but anyway it's the thing that has come the closest to making me actually vomit from disgust, despite having cats who bring in/throw up all kinds of horrors.

I was going to the bathroom in the night. Didn't bother to turn the light on. Stamped down hard on a slug. Stamped it's entire "head" clean off. When I switched the light on it was still flailing around headlessly and pouring out blood. I think the fact it had red blood like ours made me 🤢 for some reason.

Missing the laugh emoji once again. A vomit one would also be handy.

Justletmemoveon · 16/05/2026 19:50

We had a skip and someone chucked a tent in it overnight, half dangling over the side. It was full of maggots. In the process of hauling it all back into the skip I ended up covered in them 😭😭😭

Making memories on holiday!

Or mammaries

mydudero · 16/05/2026 19:54

Came home from a night out & didn’t realise until the next morning that the dog had done a wee on my pillow so slept in it all night.
Also took the dog to the vet to have his anal glands released by a lovely nurse. They were obviously quite full as it squirted all up the poor nurse and the wall behind her. Not the most disgusting thing to happen to me, but I did feel awful for her! She said it happens more often than you’d think 🥴

Blarn · 16/05/2026 19:54

An earwig once came out of my mokka pot just before the coffee did. Very glad I heated it with the lid open or I would have drank a boiled earwig.

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

Me too... it was in the kitchen early one morning and I wasn't paying attention so didn't see it.
I am wondering if this is a common experience for cat owners??

alwaysstressed · 16/05/2026 19:57

Im a vet nurse and id agree that body fluids don’t really bother me either but getting hit with anal glands in the face is bloody awful!

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 16/05/2026 20:00

Stepped on mouse entrails as per pp. nice first thing in the morning and hungover.

I recall when I was 9 staying in the country and a Labrador had impacted anal glands and we went to the vet to get them released (is that the right word?). Horrifying scene to watch and smell but dog seemed relieved.

Blarn · 16/05/2026 20:02

Actually, the earwig was more disturbing. Disgusting might be our cat eating my mucus plug.

Mine was when walking into lean to which doesn’t have a light, but toilet is there. It was 8 or 9am but I didn’t expect a dead mouse to be there. The cat had left it there, disembowelled, and fucked off out again.
