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.

You come on to a site full of women telling us how pleased you are to have called girls dirty whores because they messed with your fake ID when you were a schoolboy, then claim the only reason you're getting blowback is misandristic victimisation.

Go back to Reddit. They'll love you there. Why do people like you come to Mumsnet?

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 18/09/2021 22:32

I kinda feel sad l don't have any stories like this! Has really made me laugh this evening.

I mean sure l have wee'd in public places after drinking too much but my DH was usually a look out for me so he already knows about those!

Glad no one has confessed to putting tippex in their boss's coffee. I'm moving from my job soon, it wouldn't have occurred to me to hide papers or whatever. They would know it was me, l've been pretty vocal about my opinion of my boss.

I had really bad stomach cramps in work one day. I had been constipated so knew I was about to evacuate a big one. We only have two female toilets on our floor and didn't want anyone to know by leaving a stink behind so I legged it downstairs and used one of the male toilets. Unfortunately, i passed a log that wouldn't flush, it got caught in the U bend. When I flushed the water rose up to the rim and stayed there. I got out and returned to my desk. One of the guys complained and it got round the office. No one suspected me, they all thought it was a new guy no one liked. I never owned up.

I’m such a goodie two shoes. Have no real out there stories I’m afraid
You all have a lot of chutzpah (and loose bowels but let’s not dwell)

When I was very young, I remember going house hunting with my parents & siblings. We went to a new build estate once and there was a beautiful show home there.

I remember being desperate for a poo and so did one v quickly in the show home toilet while the others were looking around. I tried to flush it after but no water came 😬 I remember thinking in horror it couldn't have been a proper working toilet after all.

We left soon after I discovered this and I didn't tell anyone about the shit I took in a fake toilet.

Knickerthief1 · 18/09/2021 23:02

When I was first working I was living away from home and really skint. My hairdryer broke and I couldn't afford a new one but needed to dry my hair for work. I bought the exact same hairdryer again and cleaned up my old one (including black marker pen to cover scratches on the vent) packaged it in the new box and got a refund. I kept the new working one. Pretty much theft but I didn't think about it like that at the time - oops!

cheninblanc · 18/09/2021 23:08

I really needed a wee after getting out of a taxi after a night out. I am ashamed to say I weed on my friends doorstep I was so desperate. Next morning her mum was washing down the front step complaining about the Tom cats weeing on her doorstep 🤦‍♀️. U nodded and agreed

That I was abused as a child and it will take me to an early grave.
@cpjoli apologies if someone has already tagged you - but as soon as I read this post I had to comment. Please don't keep this a 'secret' - please do seek counsel in a friend/relative/therapist - this mustn't stay with you, it needs to come out. Hope you beat this Flowers
LoisLane66 · 18/09/2021 23:14

Didn't your mum put two and two together after your tie went 'missing' when you eventually went back to school plus the fact that you had 'the runs' which must have been evident in the graveyard and on the tie.

RosieLeaLovesTea · 18/09/2021 23:18

When I was in last year of junior school a new girl joined the class. She was American, loud, brash and a bit of a bully. Anyway she had done something to piss me off. So I took her pencil case and hid it somewhere in the class room. When the alarm was raised the teacher searched everyone’s bag in the class. I never confessed it was me!

VenusTiger · 18/09/2021 23:21

@Marcee

This happened just the other week.

The post came. One letter was our next door neighbours and had accidentally been delivered to us. Letter from the NHS. No matter I put it on the table to deliver it to them later.

Quick as a flash. My 3 year old grabbed the letter and opened it. It's a vaccine passport.

I'm really annoyed at her and now dont know what to do. I tear up the letter into tiny pieces and chuck it in the bin. Hope they ordered a new one.

I fucking hope they didn't!

Oh this is a juicy one lol. I used to work in a care home. I became very VERY friendly with the chef there (I'm sure you know where this is going) anyway, one thing led to another and I slept with the chef while on duty many a times (hate me for this I do) but the secret I'll be taking to the grave is I went to the chefs house (his wife and kid were waiting for him in Spain) and slept with him there. My partner found out what I'd done while the chef was on holiday with his wife and kid and he messaged her and then all hell broke loose.

gailplattshairbrush · 18/09/2021 23:25

Loads of toileting ones over the years Blush

I suffer from quite bad IBS and have had to go in carrier bags a few times when dp is in the shower. Once went on a long car journey with ds when I had a UTI and got stuck in traffic. Never felt such pain trying to hold in a wee. Ended up trying to go in a bottle but ended up pissing all over myself and the car and nearly crashing at the same time.

I wrote a cheque which bounced. I was arrested and remanded but released after a week after my mother paid the fine.
A well known person was there at the same time always accompanied by two burly female prison officers.
She later received a whole of life tariff.

Hardly taking that one to your grave, everyone who had a connection knew about it!

Fucking Covid - vaccine passport ruined the thread for me.
Post after post after post.
What a shame.

When I found out my husband was cheating on me and I was in the process of 'getting my ducks in a row' every morning after my 8am poo (I'm like clockwork) I would flush then dip his toothbrush in it.

Also spit in his soup.

It's bad huh? Eek
