Where's the most embarrasing place you've thrown up?

[JoniR]

I threw up on the bus on the way to work this morning. I'm mortified! Luckily I had a carrier bag in my pocket and I was able to throw up into that, but there was loads of it and it stank and I'm sure everyone was staring at me. Then I had to carry the horrible stuff with me when I got off the bus.

I can't be alone, so where is the most embarrasing place you've thrown up?

asda carpark, I was with DS1, who just kept saying "you bin sick mummy?" in that lovely toddler voice that carries... I did manage to puke into an old box that previously held terry chocolate orange slices.....

I threw up IN MY HANDBAG on the bus. My handbag that had my shoes in it. The bus was going way too fast, in the rain, and all hot/steamy inside, through windy estates. I vomited in my handbag. Some young teens hollered "she's drunk". Yes. At 6pm on a Tuesday. Granted I wasn't showing as was only 14 weeks.

I also threw up at 15 weeks on a main street just outside the bus stop. Spread my legs wide so I wouldn't spew on my shoes. 9am. Classy.

I stopped taking the bus after that for a while....

I'm sorry you were sick LavenderHoney but I can't stop laughing!

[moggiek]

Oh, Ladies. I haven't been pregnant for a quarter of a century, but you are bringing it all back .....

[veryconfusedatthemoment]

The Post Office, just 2 months ago. No I'm not pregnant but was coming down with a corker of a migraine. They were lovely - gave me a Pudsey bucket :) I politely said I would wash it and return it. They were like - no you keep it.

[moggiek]

and the 'memorable boaks' in the title brought tears of laughter to my Ayrshire eyes!

[Queenofknickers]

A hg one here..... In a bin in an open-plan office - approx 50 people heard/saw

[veryconfusedatthemoment]

Sorry didn't realise this was on the pregnancy board. I wont be there again sadly. Picks up hat and coat and exits stage left, whistling.

[moggiek]

Dwellsunder - now, that really IS precision boaking! Congratulations!

At work, on the walkway in a food distribution warehouse.

Every evening on my way into the warehouse office, I'd pass pallets of ready-made chilled pizzas. It became a massive aversion. I'd walk into the warehouse dreading it, and this one evening it was too much. I got two paces past the pizzas before the smell overwhelmed me and I puked right there.

I was so embarrassed.

At work, in the middle of a presentation to sector colleagues. I did make it to the loo though. Mortifying.

Regularly threw up too in the hedge outside my office (not making it to the loo)

In the car in a busy shopping centre car park in the run up to Christmas. A bloke walking past looked at me like . I almost got out and showed him my 40 week bump. But couldn't be arsed.

[LaTrucha]

In the back of a tutor of mine's brand new, leather upholstered Jaguar. I was in the back seat, squeezed in between DD in a car seat and a box of course materials. I put my hand in front of my mouth to try to catch it which in fact meant is sprayed around the sides of my hands and got both into the hair of both the people in the front seats and all over the upholstery.

Never to be lived down, that one.

Pregnant - went out to get some fresh air as feeling nauseus at work. Realised I was going to be sick - dived into Costa and legged it downstairs to their loos managing to be sick into my hands as I dived into a cubicle.

Then there was the infamous Chinese take away incident. I didn't fancy eating much so just asked DH to get me some Yuk Sung and prawn sesame toast. Sat down with the bowl on my lap, took one bite of toast and puked into the bowl.

Funnily enough, I haven't been able to eat Yuk Sung or prawn sesame toast since!

Not Pregnant - puked plenty of times while 'down the park' getting very drunk on cheap cider when I was 16, but the most memorable one was in the back of my mates dad's car on the way home where I managed to projectile vomit all over the back of his head, my other friend sitting next to me and myself.

Apparently, he made friend A (who was also a bit drunk) clean it all up when they got back while he showered. Friend B who I was sick on said it made the lace top layer on her skirt disintegrate. Funnily enough, Friend B also puked on Friend A's parents sofa later that year at a new years eve party after drinking too much of a bright red alcho pop of some description!

I threw up on a war memorial patch - the ones with lots of poppy crosses planted into soil - am still mortified to this day. Granted I didn't do it on purpose, my ms was particularly bad for 2 weeks and I would literally just throw up without any warning (hence not having chance to miss the memorial patch), and I managed not to actually hit any of the crosses but I felt so awful, like I'd done something really disrespectful. Stayed in most of the time after that until it eased somewhat (until I at least got warning!).

Dashed out of the classroom, across the corridor, through the door to the playground & chundered into the bin, much to the amusement of the year 9 class I was in the middle of teaching English to at the time & who observed the whole sorry spectacle.

[hoarseoldfrog]

Waiting for the bus at the beginning of a 3 hour journey, in a queue of 20 people. Felt the urge, tried to make it to the hedge across the road but projectiled all over the middle of the road to a full audience
Made it to train station. Vommed in underground car park, behind an advertising stand.. spent 40 min train journey puking in loos.
Took tube.... Only option was to heave repetitively into my bag for life, to the disgust of all my fellow passengers. At each stop the coach emptied as they tried to escape me... Only to be replaced by more unsuspecting victims...
Eventually made it home and stopped chucking after 3 days. And not pregnant so didn't even get a lovely baby as compensation.....

Mine might out me but I don't care. I was in labour with DS1 and we decided to go to the hospital. Just as we were turning in we heard the soul destroying fwap-fwap sound of a flat tire. So we had to drive VERY slow to get to the entrance. So we are in the main entrance which turns out to be the wrong entrance for labour where I have the tremendous urge to be sick. I have just enough time to shout 'im going to be sick where's the toilet!?' before I throw up spectacularly in the middle of the open plan entrance.
Meanwhile DH is told to move the car from the drop off where he explains that he cannot as he is a wheel down. Fortunately he is able to change the wheel and park the car within the time limit before he can meet me. I was grateful for the small mercy that I didn't get it on me or anyone else!

[Wahla]

At my son's nursery. A child with a slimy green snot river came towards me to ask if I would help her with her coat and I answered by puking in the shrubbery.

Three times at the dentist whilst trying to have a cast for a crown taken. During the second attempt the dental nurse kept saying "just sit up and be sick in the bowel if you need to". Yeah, easier said than done when your 32 weeks pregnant and in a semi reclined position. I did not hit the bowel and they had to close the room for cleaning .

In a bin outside Notre Dame cathedral in front of hundreds of tourists and many, many chic French ladies. The shame.

And on the Lewisham to London Bridge commuter train at 8.30am. Had to literally shove someone out of the way to clear a bit of landing space on the floor for my ex-porridge. They didn't look very grateful, though. Bastards. I was only 11 weeks gone with my first so not showing at all, which probably had a lot to do with it.

[onlysettleforbutterflies]

I threw up everywhere when I had ms hell until 30 weeks, always had a carrier bag on my knee in the car as I always threw up on the motorway on the way to work. Probably most public puking was as me and dp took a romantic stroll through a pretty therefore heaving cornish village, it came out of nowhere, no time to run to a quieter place, just stood there doing an impression of the exorcist, whilst tourists ran for cover, dp just kept trying to move me to a grid but I was rooted to the spot. I was only 9 weeks so not showing, think they all thought I was drunk and just looked disgusted.

I was about 6 months pg and had a bug of some sort. Was standing near the kitchen sink, but not near enough. I managed to vomit all over my 6 month old baby who was playing happily at my feet. She was covered in it and proceeded to splash around happily in the disgusting mess!

[DownyEmerald]

Into a crisp packet in my drawer at work. In my self-deluded mind my office-mate didn't notice. Tho' I expect he was just too polite to mention it.

Non pg-wise, in the back of someone's car into a carrier bag. Too many pints of Murphys Oyster Stout - never touched it again.
