What's the most disgusting thing that's ever happened to you?

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.

On a tube reading a book. Ignoring everyone. Then heard a bloke making noises, looked up and this bloke was staring at me whilst wanking.
The tube was full of young men. Noone said anything they were all looking at me to see what I would do, so I threw a withering up and down look with disgusted face at the wanker and then looked in the face of everyman in the carriage. They all shrank. I then started reading my book again. Wanker got off the next stop.

Child pooed in the bath on holiday. We turned a knob which looked like the plughole.... It started the jacuzzi bath. Bubbles of shite 🤮 Cleaning it was an epic mission.

I had a seizure in the women's bathroom. I woke up with my top removed, my bra gone and my knickers and tights partly pulled down, and my bag stolen.

Oh my God, that's horrific, I'm so sorry. How did you deal with that? 💐

FairViewRosie25 · 17/05/2026 22:51

Daily occurrence with my pair of twats. They will find anything rotten on their walk

I haven't dealt with it, partly because I don't know what happened to me. I've accepted it happened, I will never get answers and I will never get justice. I used to have a lot of nightmares but they've faded over time.

I have major issues when it comes to using public restrooms. Most times I hold it until I get home.

So, so sorry to read the traumatic accounts on here. 💐

Mine are trivial and involve cockroaches. In Australia, where the fuckers fly and seem to be immortal. Once found myself rubbing one into my face when washing at the sink before bed. A couple of times, at work, found one at the bottom of a mug of tea after drinking it. We realised they crawled into the kettle overnight, so the first job of the morning was to tip them all out 🤮

Oh and once I went to pick up a Chinese take-away, and felt something running down my legs. With horror I realised I was somehow cascading baby cockroaches all over the place! Turned out there was a nest under the car seat and they must have all hatched that night 😬 (or whatever the bastards do)

DH grew up in a very cold country and they had an outside loo. Rather than walk all the way out to it in subarctic conditions and break the ice to flush the toilet, as a kid he would feed his poo to the dog, who apparently loved him for it 🫣

Was sitting on the couch playing with my baby, held her up above my head looking up and singing to her and she threw up right in my mouth and all over my face and hair.

Elliania · 17/05/2026 23:22

Not me luckily but a kid I was standing next to at the zoo. The lion enclosure at our local zoo back then was a mixture of fencing and in this area it was a railing, then a gap to chickenwire type fencing. The male lion, doing his daily territory patrol, backed up to the fence, lifted his tail and did a massive spray of piss right into the face of a kid who was eating an ice cream.

I tried so hard not to laugh at the poor lad but the kids' Dad was almost bent double laughing.

Took my two dogs out for a walk. We crossed a field that had been newly mown. One of my dogs found a hedgehog that had also been freshly mown. The absolute joy on his face when he found it. He rolled and rolled around in it and I couldn’t get him up. When he did eventually get up he was covered in fresh hedgehog entrails (and other bits). He was over joyed with this, he then decided he’d would like to rub himself over me. The other dog was highly amused by this and thought she would join in and eat the offending bits off of the perpetrator.
I had to walk home with one dog and me covered in entrails and the other dog trying her best to clean us up. Couldn’t get home quick enough….🤢🤢🤢

I am so sorry that happened to you. I can't imagine how you live with the not knowing. Sending gentle hugs 🤗

TheFormidableMrsC · 17/05/2026 23:33

I just thought of another one. As a child, our neighbours used to go away for a week or long weekends. They asked if I’d like to feed and spend time with their cats which I loved doing. However one day I went in and one of the cats had caught a squirrel. All that was there was the head and the tail and some internal organs. No actual body. I had to go and get my dad 😭

TheFormidableMrsC · 17/05/2026 23:34

@DefiantRabbit9I am so so sorry this happened to you. Absolutely horrific. 💐

Scarlettjune · 17/05/2026 23:35

I was in India and went to use the toilet on a train. It was one if those toilets that are a hole in the floor. Not great but I was desperate to go.

The train jerked and my handnag fell in the dirtt toilet. I had to fish it out. Then there was of course no soap and hot water.

One night I got into bed and found that my dog had put a half eaten mouse in my bed.

I couldnt sleep well for months after that night.

When I was a child, my gran used an empty lucozade bottle to collect a pee specimen in. How did I arrive at this realisation...

Probably not the most disgusting thing, but these pet related ones have reminded me of relaxing onto a beanbag on my bedroom floor, only to find myself lying in my cat's squitty diarrhoea.

And, not pet related - waking up in the middle of the night absolutely gasping for a drink. Reached down to the side of the bed and found, to my relief, about a third of a 500ml bottle of Pepsi. Took a giant swig and discovered that my husband had been using said bottle as an ashtray. And yes, I know that was a gross thing to do in the first place. Bloody vile. (This was 25 years ago, he hasn't smoked for most of those years now, I'm pleased to say.)

Argh, you've reminded me of when I had a bit part in a play at college, and took an unscripted swig from what I thought was an empty prop bottle of beer. Similar contents. Being on stage I had to just hold it in my mouth and style it out till the end of the scene.

Teasall · 17/05/2026 23:51

I was married to an alcoholic.
I came home from work one day and walked into what looked like a scene from a horror movie. He had vomited blood all over the hallway, walls, floor, radiator, from the front door to the downstairs loo and was lying in a pool of it at the bottom of the stairs.

Loved this. Sounds awful.

A male colleague repeatedly grabbing my breasts from behind everytime I went into the store room

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.

A friend's horse had a freak paddock accident. Slipped while galloping playing silly buggers with my horse and slid on his side, impaling his shoulder on a hollow log. Vet came, stitched in paddock with buttons (really cool technique to stop wounds tearing). It was a big wound. Now pus doesn't usually bother me, but as he progressed in healing, pus would fountain out of the wound in front of him as he walked. Amazingly it healed well and he had a career as a ridden horse - he was an awesome horse to ride.

For me, I've had a leach in myvhair - big fat thing blerrgh!🤢

Iamblossom · 18/05/2026 06:38

I did freak out. And am now traumatised if I have to use a train toilet

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 16/05/2026 20:12

Not me but my best friend. Both she and her boyfriend have trodden in bare feet on a separate dead rat their cat has brought in. First it was her, then a year later it was her boyfriend’s turn. I swear I’d cut my foot off. Or bleach it to oblivion. The cat would be getting yelled at too and not fed. They’re moving this summer.

I read that as “…then a year later it was her boyfriend’s TURD.”

I think that’s enough internet for me today.

When I was about 13/14, my mum had cooked a joint of pork for dinner. We were summoned to the table, all sat down, and my step-dad started to carve the meat. Well, the pig must have had some sort of abcess, as he sliced into it and there was a sort of pop and a jet of grey, stinking stuff shot out and hit the wall. The smell was indescribable, we were all gagging, he just stood there in shock with this grey gloop dripping off the knife.

My brothers and I still bring up 'The Pork Pus' from time to time and we're in our 40s now.

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.

‘Darling hold my haaand’ 🎵
