to feel a bit grossed out about my friend?

A group of us were out for a few drinks last week. We'd only had a couple and we were all chatting etc. and we got on to the subject of shopping for clothes. Anyway, New Look cropped up in the conversation and she says 'oh, I was in New Look last week, trying a dress on in the changing room, and I got caught short so I took one of my socks off and shit in it'. Shock Apparently she took the sock out with her to put in a bin in the shopping centre and told a sales assistant she might want to check the drains. There is a public toilet about 50 yards away.

AIBU to look at her in a different light now? Or just overreacting. Confused

I'm never using a changing room again!

Erm it HAS happened in John Lewis. Only once whilst I was there mind. It was assumed that someone had an accident... Some people are disgusting. I have had people try to return period stained trousers a couple of times.

RunAwayWife · 15/05/2011 13:04

Is she a bit mad unwell?

That is disgusting

alemci · 15/05/2011 13:09

that is horrible. do you think she is unwell. unless she was joking

IprivateI · 15/05/2011 13:12

That's disgusting. Doesn't everyone have a wee when they poo? what did she do about that? Bloody disgusting bitch. I would cut off all ties, she's probably done some pretty disgusting stuff in your bathroom too....yuck.

RobynLou · 15/05/2011 13:20

ewwwwwwww.

I once had to discretely dispose of a poo done in a tiny taxi office using leaflets and an umbrella case, but the poo was done by my 3 year old...

Cracking thread Grin Am gonna report it and ask for it to be moved to classics.

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 15/05/2011 14:15

Oh My God. I have just read OP.

NEW LOOK???

TheMonster · 15/05/2011 14:20

That's disgusting. I would tell her so as well.

SnuffleTurtle153 · 15/05/2011 15:07

I can't be bothered to read all 7 pages of this - but is no one else incredibly impressed that she managed to actually poo INTO a sock?! Does she have enormous feet/cankles or just an incredible aim? - Also, did she manage to find the only New Look changing room in the world where the curtain is actually equal or greater length than the rail or did she just not care that anyone could see what she was doing? And what did she do with the other sock? Wipe? Or just discard because it would surely feel weird to walk around with only one sock on? And what the fuck did you and your friends say to her when she told you this? We need more information OP!

Robyn my 3 year old pooed behind the library once. She said she needed to 'go' desperately and I assumed she needed a wee but it wasn't. I didn't have anything to dispose of it with so I put a babywipe over it for decency Blush

Blu · 15/05/2011 20:44

I don't think the problem is to do with the size of the feet, sock, or poo, but the mechanics of getting it in there.

Like getting toothpaste back into the tube....

Ben Goldacre would say 'do a trial'. We need someone to do a scientific test.

ZimboMum · 15/05/2011 21:18

Yuck. Yuck. And again, yuck.

nailak · 15/05/2011 21:24

i think she was jokin...

maighdlin · 15/05/2011 22:41

i vomited into a sock. the day before i found out i was pregnant. had a sock in my hand and was sick seems like the natural thing to do but it would have been less messy if i had of just vomited on the floor.

i know loads of sales assistants who have encountered shit in a changing room, a few have found ahem "masturbatory fluids".

my digestive system is fairly fucked but i have never been that caught short. plus the logistics of it are mind boggling, surely by the time you had the idea to shit in a sock, take off the sock and position it, you could have went to a proper toilet Confused

vajazzhands · 16/05/2011 01:08

I have just had a thought.

If you hold a sock open (say to shit in it) the very top stays open from the stretchniess of the sock or whatever but after an inch or 2 it stays closed (like a funnel).

So she would have shat in to the sock but it would have hit closed sock. A sock is not a tube. In my opinion you could not shit in to a sock unless it was a liquid poo but that would have leaked anyway..and in which case why use the sock.

Lunabelly · 16/05/2011 08:41

But if it was one of those fancy fluffy slouchy socks, that would work.

Not that I have been pondering the logistics all weekend, but yes, it is doable.
I myself would not want to associate with anyone who would shit in a sock , mind. I do have some standards. Honest.

My dad and SM woke up one night to find my rather drunk step-sister about to take a dump in the suitcase at the end of bed that my dad had just packed for a business trip. She didn't live that one down! Grin

WobblyWidgetOnTheScooper · 16/05/2011 20:23

ok somebody needs to link to the 'memorable poos in inappropriate places' thread

JumpOnIt · 16/05/2011 21:11

I worked in a customer facing office some years ago. There was a bit of a security camera blind spot in a corridor and at some point every Friday, someone would find it necessary to leave us something to clean up. It was a busy office so I want to know how they managed it without anyone ever seeing!
