Lighthearted, and risk free. Given that this is all anonymous and all that.

When I was fourteen, I was out with my friend after drama club. It was winter and dark and fucking freezing but I was sweating as well as shivering. We were walking to her grandma's house in the next village where I was getting picked up by my stepdad in about an hour. I was quite clearly ill, but my mum had not believed me and sent me to a long day at school. As we were walking, my belly churned and I knew that there was gastric trouble afoot. I excused myself into an innocent looking field for "a wee" but I knew it was not that. Thankfully, there were no street lights at all, so even if someone had come past, they'd not have seen. It was pitch black. My friend kept watch while my bowels evacuated what seemed like water and slime for about five minutes and sweat dripped off my body onto the ground, I can remember how much I was shaking and how I had the weirdest taste of metal in my mouth. When the onslaught ended, I didn't know how to wipe my bum. I took off my school tie, wiped with that and then had no idea what to do so I just discarded it at the scene and shamefully scuttled back to my friend. I was then off school for a week with some kind of horrible intestinal infection.

But the field. The quiet little field I'd chosen to slip over the fence into. It was a graveyard. And I'd relieved myself right next to a war grave. Right before armistice. And left my school tie there. How do I know? Because it was in the school newsletter as a "regrettable incident" and anyone with information as to who the culprit was could report in confidence to the headteacher. I expect the groundskeeper reported it to the school. Even my mum tutted about no respect. Thank god it was over 20 years ago. Nowadays it would have trended with a hashtag and a witch hunt.

And now I have finally told the tale. What's yours?

@Suetully

the words you have used in your posts are really showing you to be quite unpleasant really

of course, many of these confessions aren't pleasant but because I am a male and telling stories of revenge that involved girls when I was a boy I must be hung for it. The WOMEN who did similar to men in acts of revenge in these threads can't be blamed.

There is a big difference between the stories of being 6 and writing 'pig' on a piece of toilet paper and wanting to punish women (for minor crimes like grassing you up over your fake id) by writing misogynistic things about them on desks.

@RobertaFirmino

As a student, I had a kind and generous Chinese housemate who loved to cook his mother's recipes for us all. One day, I went to the loo and was stunned to find out I had worms! Ovex didn't seem to work so I went to the GP and had to give a stool sample. In the meantime, I had gone through the embarrassment of telling my housemates I had worms and together, we scrubbed and disinfected the whole house from top to bottom. It took us all day.

A few days later, I went back to the GP. He informed me that I didn't have worms at all. I did, however, need to chew my beansprouts more thoroughly. Seeing as how one housemate spilt Domestos down her front, ruining a £50 top (that was a fair whack in 1996) whilst we were scrubbing, I thought it best to keep quiet.

🤣

I was about 7. The teacher wouldn't let me go to the toilet so I just did a poo in my knickers. Later on I was sat in a lesson and my friend said to me 'it really smells of poo. Have you pooped yourself? Either you have done it or Jane (who was sat in front of us) has done it.'

I blamed Jane. For about 4 months after she was relentlessly teased for shitting herself in school. I joined in on the teasing - despite knowing that it was actually me who had caused the smell and had shat myself!!

(Name change for Jane just incase the poor woman is on this thread)

poodlydoodly · 18/09/2021 21:27

When I do a poo I always sniff the toilet paper after the last wipe. Just to be sure my bum is fragrant.

GinPin2 · 18/09/2021 21:29

My husband and I applied for teaching jobs all over the country when we qualified.
He was lucky enough to get an interview.
I sat in the car in this tiny country lane waiting with butterflies in my stomach and ultimately needed the the loo for a poo.
I was only 21 and was honestly too nervous to go into the school which only had 2 classrooms to ask for the toilet , in case I ruined his chances of getting the post.
I found a carrier bag in the car !
Disposed of the offending article into a hedge.
Forerunner of poo bags?
He got that teaching job !!!

I went to a (female) friends house I initiated sex with her (we had done this previously before I was in my relationship) when I got back my partner asked if she had tried it on with me after a few drinks.. I said yes but nothing had happened Blush I still feel guilty now but will never tell the truth, we have too much to lose.

RainbowBriteUk · 18/09/2021 21:37

I fell madly in love with my gay best friend to the point I was suicidal as I couldn't imagine life without him as more than a friend. Obviously that has never happened as he's gay and now i'm over it but I couldn't tell anyone, nor will I ever. I've never fallen so hard before.

Moonwatcher1234 · 18/09/2021 21:46

Was heavily pregnant and had to see a cardiologist. Went private and saw someone in a plush Harley street clinic where the staff were a bit standoffish and snobby. I used the bathroom and was a bit upset at having to be there, feeling a
bit unnerved by the receptionist making me pull out all the recipes and statement etc tpmotove I had paid, worried about the tests etc so without thinking pulled the emergency cord by the loo instead of the flush. The loudest alarm started blaring and i waddled out of there as fast as I could. On my way out of the building, I saw people rushing to the scene to help the poor person who had met with an incident in the the toilet. My face was blazing red and I just carried on walking. Wish I had stopped them and told them it was me but I felt weirdly incapable of it.

cricketmum84 · 18/09/2021 21:51

@FuckingFabulous hahaha probably so! I still cringe internally every time I remember it though 😂

karmakemmie · 18/09/2021 21:53

[quote FuckingFabulous]@Marcee, years ago my Dad pissed me off and I posted all his letters straight through the grid of a drain for about a week. He knows I did that now but I didn't tell him for about ten years. One of the letters was really important and at the time, I couldn't have cared less if it contained a million pounds, it was going in the drain.

Don't beat yourself up about your panic over your kid opening next doors private letter. They'll get another vaccine passport- many a thing is lost in the post. And many a person has done something stupid in a moment of panic. Someone I know burnt their mouth and throat badly trying to down a scalding cuppa rather than admit they'd taken a tea break instead of going and looking out some old files when they heard the click clack of their bosses heels approaching the room.

I knocked over an item worth £45,000 on my first day at a fancy office and managed to convince the boss that maybe an animal had come in through the window and knocked it over. They had to replace it as a respected and important client had given it to them.

Mmm what you did wasnt nice but thats what this thread is about. The person who posted a picture of her ex with his bum out, now if that had been a switch of sexes well STRING HIM UP. Let's just leave the bloke (suetully)alone

Thanks, I was a child too at the time who was only starting year 11 so put it into perspective that I was a CHILD. Yet people saying I was preying on women are blowing it all out of proportion when it was all childish nonsense against other children over 20 years ago. Double standards on mn.

And yes I''l have to name change soon as the fact that I am an outed male now has me as a bastard on this.

FusciasBright21 · 18/09/2021 22:17

HmmHmmHmm at some of the recent posts on this thread.

I once knocked my friends toothbrush into a toilet full of pee Blush I flushed and fished it back out and put it back on the sink (after rinsing it loads!) BlushBlushBlush

When I was 17/18 I had a fling with the boy next door (who was 25ish at the time) who was in a long distance relationship. I still feel awful for his girlfriend years later.

winnieanddaisy · 18/09/2021 22:17

@judgeJ
My 48yro DD told me recently that she used to write letters excusing her from PE forging my signature. I found it very funny as our handwriting is similar and knew that it was easy to get away with .
Our voices are also very similar and when we worked in different wards of the same hospital people who knew only one of us sometimes thought that the one was answering the phone in that particular ward was in the wrong place Smile

I think 15 year old girls can be pretty misogynistic too, thinking back to the graffiti on the bog wall.

Couchbettato · 18/09/2021 22:21

When we were young (3,4,5) my cousin's and I would meet at my nans to play often.

I used to pick my bogeys and wipe them on my "bogey wall", which was hidden in the cubby under the stairs.

When we were older and my nan came to redecorate and found it and my older cousin and I unashamedly blamed it on my younger cousin because she was always a bit of a golden child and a bit precious.

To be fair I don't know if my older cousin knew it was me, she may genuinely have thought it was the youngest.

My nan and mum still talk about the bogey wall though and relate my cousin's current bad behaviours back to when she was a child and used to hide her bogeys on the bogey wall.

Because my cousin was so young, she can't remember if it was her or not, so I'm just letting her take the blame even though I know it was me.

WhoIsPepeSilva · 18/09/2021 22:22

I never said you were preying on women Hmm I do think your stories show a repeat pattern complete with really nasty language plus the whines of "women are just as bad" completely forgetting how the cookie crumbles in real life regarding sex based crimes against women by men which is actually very relevant TYVM just makes you come across as the "nice guy" we all know and don't love. Where's the roll eye emoji when you need it.

Hey ho sorry for the derail folks!

@yellowglass

Not that long ago my Dh had really upset me ,we had had a row about everything falling on me and how I needed more help especially with his the dogs .

He uses the downstairs utility/shower room so he doesn't wake the house up in a morning so all his wash things are in there .

Immediately after having words ,I'd been out in the garden to clean up and trodden in some dog poo , I used his toothbrush to clean it off my shoe Shock

I've never told him but I did replace it a day or 2 later !

So he was bushing his teeth with a dog shit toothbrush for a couple of days? Shock
