To be upset that I just shat myself?

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.

You aren't the first, won't be the last but for future maybe keep shitting to oneself

Coughing I have plenty of empathy for people who are unwell.

But honestly, if sharing that kind of information to strangers helps somebody to feel better ...... They REALLY need to look at their coping mechanisms .

Also that time I coughed at the start of a poo and it came out at warp speed, and hurt! Yeah that was fun.

Firstmum24 · 08/02/2016 21:11

Brilliant post OP You are right - the title is very self explanatory.
YANBU - i would be upset too.
You made me smile, and I got a wee giggle out of this post!Get a nice shower, a fresh pair of undies and don't risk it again!

Never trust a fart

Christinayangstwistedsista · 08/02/2016 21:14

Yes, farts are sneaky little bastards

StandByYourTesselators · 08/02/2016 21:14

This happened to me aged 45 thanks to a very powerful antibiotic.

Come sit next to me and tell me your poo stories. I've got some great ones... sometimes it's all we ever talk about round here!

bimandbam · 08/02/2016 21:15

Oh OP. I have seen quite a few sharted threads on here. Most get a bit of sympathy.

It's awful if you do it. I did it myself about 6 months ago but it was the middle of the night so no one ever knew. I just made it down to the downstairs loo in time but didn't quite make it on the loo.

I blamed the dodgy kfc I had. Spent the rest of the night on the sofa or the loo!

Discussing excrement has become a lot more acceptable to me since I had a child. I'm partial to a good poo story too. Especially as they make me feel less sad about my little accident.

suchafuss that phrase " I followed through at Gretna Green" will stay with me forever. Grin

Yanbu OP, sorry for your pootastrophe, it happens to the best of us I imagine.

I did giving birth. Awful. Awful. Still haunted by it.

ValiantMouse · 08/02/2016 21:25

Happened to me once. I'd bought some really nice looking jelly beans. Well, I think they were sugar coated senna because they went through me at light speed. The cramps- I've felt nothing like them. I ended up crying on the loo, waiting for the angels to come down for me. Fucking awful.

WonderingAspie · 08/02/2016 21:26

Really? I'd be too mortified to share so it seems an odd thing to do.

Sparklingbrook · 08/02/2016 21:27

How do thoughts like this make it onto threads? Confused More of a brain fart than anything else. Best left in.

Lj8893 · 08/02/2016 21:27

Spanky, most women poo when they give birth. Unless they have previously cleared their bowels recently, anyone that says they didn't poo whilst giving birth probably didn't realise they actually did!

H-okay. Well, this thread accounts for about 90% of the reports in out in tray just now... many thanks Hodge. Grin
We have no reason to think that this poster is the poo troll, but we will be keeping an eye on the thread and would be grateful for more reports if it goes further downhill.

StuffandBother · 08/02/2016 21:28

All of you who who hooked your bosom and sniffed haughtily at poor Ms Shitty McShitterson ... Take the pokers out of your squeaky clean arses!! I hope I'm never at a party with you Grin

PinanNidan · 08/02/2016 21:28

Of all the over sharing threads i have seen on Mumsnet over the last ten years people are getting huffy about the op oversharing this one is most amusing. Grin i mean we have had countless bodily functions, garlic up peoples bottoms, worms and someone who shat on their own skirt at work but nooo your all offended about a follow through fart...

SingingSamosa · 08/02/2016 21:30

As a sufferer of IBD and all the glorious embarrassment that comes with it - and having noone in real life to be able to discuss how mortifying it can be sometimes (because of the reactions of people like those on this thread), I can totally understand why you might need to share anonymously.

YANBU to be upset - but you can be very grateful that it's unlikely to happen regularly Wink

TheFairyCaravan · 08/02/2016 21:32

If it was a brain fart Sparkling OP wouldn't have shitty knickers!

FlowersAndShit · 08/02/2016 21:34

I LOVE the term 'followed through' Grin

BeaufortBelle · 08/02/2016 21:34

I am sorry it happened OP. I've shared much on here that I wouldn't in real life.Blush
