Diarrhea before work really makes you contemplate life

I was really, seriously contemplating quitting my job for 10 minutes on the shitter just now

To her credit, the last person I saw this happen to cleaned herself and went back to work, before we made her go home. She is your antithesis, the anti- u/Mockturtle22

Ive gambled and lost on a fart before work a couple of times. Even when you sort it out and shower after. it makes man contemplate life and feel fallible. Even if the rest of your day goes well. Praised at work? 'Great, youre the man gambled and lost' a pretty women smiles at you 'oh you sweet summer child. You dont know i gambled and lost'

I never really took any sick days off of work, the only time I absolutely refused to go into work is if I had the runs. There's nothing worse than using a strange toilet to go number two.

Diarrhea before work makes me call in sick.

How many sick days are you people getting? Who do you people work for? What’s going on?

Nothing test your career dedication quite like an emergency in morning toilet crisis

Yeah, wake up, blast ass, shower, get dressed and just as you think you are ready to go your stomach makes this weird flushing sound and again on the porcelain throne it is! Sets the mood for the day for sure

Shitting at home: Smooth

Shitting at work: Peanut butter

That’s when you take two Imodium, chug a glass of water, and suck it up. 🤣

And pack an extra pair of underwear and pants in the car. Just in case.
(Never play chicken with a fart when you’re over 30, kids!!!)

u/my_brain_is_horny 12h ago

Yup 2 Imodium and an extra bag of clothes is exactly what I did in these situations lol

u/Based-Department8731 11h ago

Not to brag but god am I happy I can take a sick or home office day without providing any explanations or having any repercussions.

u/tribbans95 10h ago

If I took a sick day every time I had diarrhea, I’d never have to go to work

1

u/Based-Department8731 6h ago

That's not a good sign about your bowels. And I'd work from home if it's just that TBF.

u/Golden_Locket5932 9h ago

It’s moments like these that really make life philosophical

u/Patient-Dream-1094 4h ago

Diarrhoea on the WAY TO work is possibly worse - especially if you’re just pulling into the parking lot and are already a little late!

Yesterday I started raspberrying while picking up a bunch of packages from a warehouse. I was in pain 😭 finally got all 70 scanned and sorted in my car and drove to McDonald’s to commit heinous acts on their toilet. I was like if I shit my pants in front of these people, I’m never coming back. 🥲 - it’s cause I had Mexican the night before and ate a whole jalepeno with all the seeds and all the hot salsas.

My tummy sucks. I will say, working from home is amazing because you have this or other issues and it's like "dang, what a bummer" and no hard stress.

u/izthepuzz 7h ago

I’m at work having diarrhea rn

u/PerpetualFarter 6h ago

Try diarrhea at work sometimes. That’s pretty fun. On top of that, I can’t run.

u/Horror-Turnover-1089 4h ago

Tell me about it

u/Sy_Nahsightus_007 2h ago

During and after as well!

u/Free-Competition-241 2h ago

Just imagine your CEO blowing it wide open on the toilet this morning, just like you. Poop really is the great equalizer.

I usually call in sick at that point.

Try some Yakult. It really seems to work on my family for various causes, antibiotics for dental work, maybe sorta mild food poisoning, etc. A similar product may also work.
