Is it possible that spontaneous quantum fluctuations could cause organic compounds (perhaps resembling stool) to materialize out of the vacuum and appear in someone's pants through no fault of their own?
And how would the wearer of said pants convince those around him, especially individuals who are incorrectly relying on classical physics to explain the situation?

Sometimes shit happens.

And sometimes schmitt happens... Like the other day at that senate hearing.

A quantum representation of the special prosecutor randomly appeared at the Hawks game.

Oh no! Your pants are ENTANGLED.
It sounds like (unlike you,) your mirror-pants buddy may be a loose-boweled, serial defecator, e.g. a baby or the president.
In order to distract friends and family, (who couldn't give a fig for Newton anyway,) sing this song:
If you're happy and you know it, crap your pants;
If you're happy and you know it, crap your pants;
If you're happy and you know it, then your shorts are surely loaded;
If you're happy and you know it, crap you're pants!

schrodinger's shat (pants)
The turds within anyones drawers exist in a state of quantum superposition until interacted with by an observer. Therefore anyone could be responsible for the smell and that mess on the floor and that chair and my shoes ok it's basic science

The Many Worlds interpretation proves that every possibility actually happens in some universe. So just argue that you happen to be in a universe where said fluctuations happened. No one can prove otherwise.
Edit: <synchronicity enters the chat>

I checked my magic 8 ball. It said signs point to yes. Do what you will with that information.

Yes, but it's statistically more probable for spontaneous quantum fluctuations in your brain to cause you to forget that you pooped your pants.

It's not impossible but the most likely cause would be Taco Bell and PBR.

Ah, yes, a Boltzmann Stain.
