I have far and away the most humiliating and revolting experience ever to share with you. I swear every word is completely factual.

A few days ago I discovered to my horror that I have threadworms. Not having any vile chemical preparations in the house, I decided to go the natural route and googled to find out what to do. I used various things but the relevant one is garlic. I ate three chopped up cloves of garlic each evening and shoved a scored clove up my arse before bed, to kill the ones which come bown to breed.

I went to work today and had horrific flatulence; this may be linked to the dinner of lentils and brussels sprouts I had last night. The stench was truly disgusting and there was just far too much wind to be able to hold it in, so I had to let it out in stages and hope for the best.

I work in a nursery and naturally everybody assumed it was the children. I ended up changin three children who hadn't pooed themselves just to avert suspicion from myself.

It got to the point where I felt a large and insistent turd descending and needed to go and let it out. So I slipped into the adult loo (there is only one) and sat down on the toilet to be greeted by a sort of "pop" as the clove of garlic popped out, then a long stage-whisper of impacted fart, then a massive turd. The smell was so strong I could almost taste it, and to my utter horror the air-freshener was all gone and the window jammed. I stayed in there for as laong as I could get away with but after about ten minutes somebody started trying the door, so I had to come out. Three consecutive colleagues then used the toilet - the smell of rotting shit-and-garlic pervaded the entire nursery and people were actually considering going home early because they felt sick.

Naturally everybody is pretending they don't know it was me - but everyone knows. It still stank in there when I left.

So AIBU to never, ever darken their doorstep again?

is this off into classics then?

OP you could be immortalised in MN as the woman who shat garlic turds.

i think id have to phone in sick, at least that would explain it, you could say you have a terrible stomach bug...im sure they will concur!

SparklyGothKat · 15/01/2010 00:22

Just read the whole thread, have tears in my eyes, and trying not to laugh too loud in case I wake the kids, sorry OP

Please keep us updated. If you go into work let us know how it goes - although you might find that environmental health inspectors have shut the place down!

mummyflood · 15/01/2010 08:56

the perfect antidote to a shitty (sorry!!) day yesterday. Brilliant. Am going to keep this in mind when I am doing battle with my insurance company today, won't seem half so bad!!. Hope you give us an update, OP, can't wait to see how you decide to handle the fallout! (sorry again!!)

IncontinentiaBotox · 15/01/2010 09:27

MummylinQueenoftheslatterns · 15/01/2010 12:28

i think the way to get all the worms out would be to beat on your bum cheeks and out they would come ,i know that if you bang on grass, earthworms come out so im sure this would probably work for you

PurpleCrazyHorse · 15/01/2010 12:36

OMGoodness, I'm crying

Definitely call in sick and blame it on norovirus - ham it up and you should get some sympathy

joanne34 · 15/01/2010 12:39

maybe you should change your name to nevergooglegarlicbutter

and SGB's startled worm

If you don't have real garlic do you think you can just smear lazy garlic around a bit?

StealthPolarBear · 15/01/2010 13:05

remember not to put the spoon back in the jar though

SkipToMyLou · 15/01/2010 13:14

MadamDeathstare, should you decide to proceed, please post a video of you attempting to stuff garlic up a cat's behind. If you're not in A&E having been mauled to within an inch of your life, that is.

caramelwaffle · 15/01/2010 13:16

...and don't, whatever you do mix it up with lazy chilli

caramelwaffle · 15/01/2010 13:19

*mistake it for lazy chilli

(although mixing it with lazy chilli could not be that much worse, surely?)

GetOrfMoiLand · 15/01/2010 13:21

Oh this is so so funny.

OP - who are you - come on, reveal it to all your MN friends

And why oh why did you eat sprouts for dinner, have you now had enough flatulent fun for one week?

MrFibble · 15/01/2010 13:25

EMIGRATE!

lucyellensmumagain · 15/01/2010 13:53

I wonder how many of those on this thread with children in nursery have been trying to sniff out the OP?? I guess she will be the one with loads of strong smelling perfume!

SpeckledHen · 15/01/2010 13:59

Have been chucling on and off about this including this am when I woke up. Could not tell dh why as he would think me strange! Anyway, how did you get on today? You did go to work today didn't you? It is the thought of the other staff saying they would have ot go home because of the smell that gets me!!! Anyway I would brazen it out. I used ot work in a job where I needed clearances and I would tell you for sure that there is a difference between knowing something since you have been told it and suspecting something. No one can know it was you - the person who came after you may think that the person in before you left the loo in that state. And the person that came in after her might think it was her!! If I were you I would complain as loudly as the rest about the smell and contribute to discussions about how it could have occurred. You will be laughing about this for years and will never be able to tell anyone in real life!

When I was 19 I was an au pair in Italy. The family had a male friend to stay and they went out for a meal. He left them and came back early saying he was unwell and came and sat with me as I babysat and snogged me. I was to young and out of my depth to know what to do. He put his willy in my hand and told me to twist it I think his English was bad or he was strange but anyway the family came back thank God and he jumped off me and went to them and I went straight to bed and the family did not know. I needed a wee but didn't dare come out. I never wanted to see him again. I weed on my towel and hung it out to dry the next day after a handwash. My lady employer who was very toffee nosed kept complaining about the 'puzzo strano'. That makes me chuckle to this day.

StealthPolarBear · 15/01/2010 14:07

SH that';s awful

lucyellensmumagain · 15/01/2010 14:22
