To be upset that I just shat myself?

HodgePodge23 · 08/02/2016 20:56

I've got a stomach bug and thought I needed to fart. I didn't. My partner thinks I'm silly for being upset. Aibu to feel a bit sad that my untarnished record of not crapping myself since I was a kid has been broken? And my favorite knickers are shitty.

Everyone knows when you have a bug never risk a fart! So yabu to have risked a fart with a dodgy stomach, it a like Russian roulette.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 08/02/2016 21:00

Yanbu. Gross to shit yourself. And grosser to discuss it with your partner.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 08/02/2016 21:01

Christ knows usual. Grim. Thought it would be a first time poster. Odd to find its not.

acasualobserver · 08/02/2016 21:01

You are not the first person to have experienced this. You will not be the last. There are better records to aim for than ones that involve not shitting yourself.

The poo troll is back!!

BolshierAryaStark · 08/02/2016 21:02

Never risk a fart when you have a stomach bug-school boy error OP.
Out of interest, why the fuck did you need to tell your partner? Some things really are best not shared Hmm

suchafuss · 08/02/2016 21:02

YANBU I was in the same situation travelling to Yorkshire from Glasgow. I followed through at Gretna Green and had to drive all the way home sat in it. Thank goodness for leather seats

DonkeyOaty · 08/02/2016 21:03

Ofc yabu to share this information, how odd and strange

Otoh at least folk like you post in AIBU only and don't contaminate the rest of MN with your brain oozings.

HodgePodge23 · 08/02/2016 21:04

I'd rather share on the Internet than have my friends know. I would have quite liked for my partner to not have found out but he was right there. I guess risking it was a rookie error.

Really not necessary at all.

Not funny or interesting and I don't see why you want to get the opinion of others on this matter.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 08/02/2016 21:04

Oh ffs why would you think rhat was something to share
Dear god have i become a terminal prude ?

NickNacks · 08/02/2016 21:04

Why does anyone need to know??! It's not an either/or situation!!!

Are you 12? Actually that's unfair to 12 year olds
Quick take a pic and share it on facebook
Totes hilaire and all that

CockwombleJeff · 08/02/2016 21:06

But why share AT ALL??

Not everything that happens to you , or passes through your mind has to be shared.

coughingbean · 08/02/2016 21:07

OP, as a person who suffers from a type of bowel condition I give you so much sympathy,
I also understand why you would want to share it on a nnonymous forum.
Sometimes you have to share these things to make light of the situation and stop yourself from feeling so wretched! Thanks

ForeverLivingMyArse · 08/02/2016 21:07

I'd be upset too.

I was upset last week when on kept leaking pee when coughing.

CockwombleJeff · 08/02/2016 21:07

Hobnob you've just made me laugh out loud Grin

GingerCuddleMonsterThe2nd · 08/02/2016 21:07

Well all you've got to show for it now is a arse like a Japanese flag, shifty knickers and a random thread on mumsnet. #lifegoals Hmm

HodgePodge23 · 08/02/2016 21:07

The title of this post is pretty self explanatory. If it offends you so much then surely there's no need to click on it?

EnthusiasmDisturbed · 08/02/2016 21:07

I don't think yabu

I feel sorry for you stomach bugs are horrible

and I get that it is easier to share on mn that with friends in rl
