To panic & put my hand down the toilet

[Boxetcase22]

FitBit strap has become loose lately, every time ive take it off for a shower lately it's unclipped at the "clock face" first, before allowing me to u do the strap, with it nearly falling off and hitting the floor each time. Keep giving mental notes to order new strap, but due to DD1 and newborn DD2 I keep forgetting.

Due to DD1 and DD2 both being asleep when I escaped to the bathroom for a much needed shower, I had a wee, but didn't flush as didn't want to wake up the DDs (maybe a completely different AIBU thread there !!!)

Turned on shower , took off Fitbit, and strap unclipped and Fitbit fell down the toilet, onto my wee, and wet tissue . Vom.

I panicked and thrust my hand down there to salvage the fit bit , .. I could have got some gloves first.

Panicked again and put it under the running shower to wash off the wee... Quoting in my head what I remembered from the instructions saying it was splash proof not water proof (I've worn it out running in the rain before, but not in the bath IYSWIM)

WWYD?

Keep giving mental notes to order new strap

You could have done this in the time it took you to remember and then write out his post though!

DO IT NOW!

FitBit seems to be working

I've messaged them to try and get replacement strap!

Still about wet tissue though, I hate it

TheOrigFV45 Gels? I don't know what you mean.

Gels are sports supplements (sugar/caffeine) often taken by runners and cyclists as they race. Competitors carry them with them (often in a belt) and take them during the event.

Personally I always keep a titanium guillotine in my bathroom for just these very moments. Every time I come into contact with excreta/wet toilet paper – snip, and the problem is solved. Saying that it took me 35 minutes to write this…

Oh TheOrig your friend was truly dedicated (and nuts). Those portaloos get so rank

Gels are in waterproof foil pouches. You know, to stop the gel leaking out and/or the pee leaking in.

I wouldn’t think twice about fishing one out the toilet, especially if it was my only one for a race. I’d just wash it as I’m going to be sucking the outside of the pack.

I have sucked other things that used to have pee on them but have since been washed .

Some of you seem obsessed by wee. I hope you know that your loo is NOT the dirtiest place in your house .

Now I am not sure WH1SPERS

WH1SPERS but what about the pre-race poo?!
[shudder]

No one with a child of toddler age + could really be this squeamish about lifting something out of the toilet.

Put it in a ziplock bag with rice for a day

Thank you very much TheOrigFV45.

PRPs - not in the same class at all. I don't know what I'd do but I wouldn't be putting anything in my mouth once it had been down there.

Yes, because absolutely everyone is exactly the same aren't they?

I'd be squeamish about it. Very squeamish. I think I would have had to hook it out with something.

I am a laydee and do my pre race poos at home in privacy and not in a portaloo with blue water and no loo paper.

I remember a Paul Mckenna weight-loss method that included visualising the grossest thing in order to make unhealthy food seem less attractive. I think TheOrig just helped me to get slimmer in the New Year

Still about wet tissue though, I hate it

There there, OP, it's done now. Give it no more thought.

What is a fit bit ?.

I'd probably have fetched a marigold.

That said if it might not be waterproof, probably not as time might be of the essence.

Is your shower over your toilet??

Welcome to 2019..

This would never have happened if you just has a wee in the shower

Ha, this was my first thought too

FFS what is a Fitbit.

You could have googled it by now, Vicky, instead of getting angry.
