to want to quit my job NOW and never, ever, ever, ever go back, and cross the street if I see anyone coming who has ever seen me there?

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?

i dread to think!! im glad DP isnt in contact with this guy anymore - its not an image i fancy sharing over drinks!

MummyDoIt · 15/01/2010 17:38

Suddenly the vermicelli noodles I was planning to have for dinner do not seem so appealing. Though at least I wasn't having garlic with them.

piprabbit · 15/01/2010 17:39

It's Friday night so it must be bumsex night. A little before the watershed though?

SkipToMyLou · 15/01/2010 17:39

EWWWWW lucyellensmumagain that is foul. Time for some brain bleach!

IncontinentiaBotox · 15/01/2010 17:49

Oh God OP,
That is priceless
You poor thing.
This thread will never be forgotten, so its a good thing you namechanged

SolidGoldBrass · 15/01/2010 17:53

At least it wasn't a tapeworm. Apparently the way to get rid of those is with a bowl of warm milk and a pencil.
You hold the pencil, and sit with the bowl of milk in front of you and your mouth open... the worm will smell the milk and put its head out of your mouth, at which point you wind it round the pencil and pull...

Miggsie · 15/01/2010 18:04

I think shoving a clove of garlic up your bum and then going to work WITH IT STILL IN, gassing a nursery and THEN posting about it online is SO brave.

And it beats my friends explaining to their visitor's dog poo covered toddler why a dog being incontinent is not a valid reason to have it put to sleep in the "surreal conversation award".

I would also add that the pile of pooh that came out of my cat after his enema was smelly, and so high there was snow on the peak and smelt of cat food...but no garlic. Now THAT's class.

lucyellensmumagain · 15/01/2010 18:11

Solidgoldbrass - lovely Some people actually swallow those things ON PURPOSE!!!

JodieO · 15/01/2010 18:18

Hilarious

IncontinentiaBotox · 15/01/2010 19:13

apparently there was some Victorian trickster who used to horrify crowds by tempting out his wife's tapeworm with a spoonful of sugar held to her mouth

I'd rather have tapeworm on balance, at least there's only one and it doesn't go crawling all over your undercarriage when you're asleep

Stop with all the talk of tapeworms and mouths!!

Taramuddle · 15/01/2010 20:20

Actually tapeworms shed their segments & the segments can wriggle & are full of eggs! [big boak]

Undercovamutha · 15/01/2010 20:25

SGB - now I know you are the person to call should I ever need to be de-wormed. Your knowledge of worm-related facts is amazing. Maybe you could set up as a worm counsellor?

Dh once caused a fight at the Arsenal with his arse. After suspecting a gas leak or poisonous terrorist attack, the blokes behind decided it had to be one of them, and ended up threatening violence on each other...

Spannerweb · 15/01/2010 20:49

Oh my God that's funny. Not at all funny from your point of view (sat on the bog with garlic falling out of your arse and the paint urgently trying to make a run for it) but it's funny.

I laughed so much I couldn't breathe.

CardyMow · 15/01/2010 20:54

FUNNIEST. THREAD. EVER. Sorry, OP, I feel for you, but next time, buy some ovex!! This has to be a classic, non??!! I have just sat here with tears literally rolling down my face!!

PacificDogwood · 15/01/2010 21:07

Why on earth did you have sprouts for dinner??? What were you thinking, woman?

This thread worm just keeps on giving!!!

Ripeberry · 15/01/2010 21:12

My 7yr old, who does not like reading much, actually enjoyed reading this.....Hope you feel better and the little blitters are gone!

IncontinentiaBotox · 15/01/2010 21:46

"Dh once caused a fight at the Arsenal with his arse" FABULOUS

For pity's sake don't risk it - look what happened the last time you tried something unconventional. You can't put your bowels (and us) through any more turmoil.

caramelwaffle · 15/01/2010 22:47

Good god woman. DO NOT self medicate. Look what happened last time.

SolidGold - come on. She needs further advice

IncontinentiaBotox · 15/01/2010 23:11

while the rest of you carry on Mocking The Afflicted
