Today, I had an ovarian cyst rupture at work, causing sudden severe stomach cramps; this caused my bowels to release everything right then and there, while on the phone with a customer, in the middle of the call center surrounded by 200 other sales reps. FML

Today, at work, I felt a sudden, all-too-familiar pain in my stomach. I ran for the restroom, but before I could get there, I shat myself. I had to limp the rest of the way, then beg my boss to let me go home. He said no and told me to get back to work. FML

Today, at work, I had a coughing fit so bad I actually shat myself. What felt like a gallon of liquid crap poured down my trouser leg onto the floor. I work in a competitive office and this happened in front of 30 spiteful coworkers who love posting pics online. FML

Today, I had an upset stomach all day at work. When lunch break came, I rushed to the bathroom. Just as I turned into an unstoppable human whoopie cushion, a co-worker walked in. He heard the entire arse symphony, and just asked, "What the fuck, dude?!" as he left. FML

Today, I had to call in sick to work because I was experiencing bowel distress. I called my manager's phone directly so no one else would know of my embarrassment. She put me on speakerphone, and I only realized when the juvenile laughter started. FML

Today, after disappearing for an unusually long period of time, my boss called the store phone while sitting on the toilet. Turns out she'd started bleeding uncontrollably from the arse, and as the only other female staff member, she needed me to go help her. FML

Today, at work, I was alone in the breakroom when I got a slight pain in my belly. I thought I needed to pass gas, so I tried since no one else was in there. It wasn't gas. It was diarrhea. I'm wearing a mini skirt today. FML

Today, I was in class and felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I began to scream and cry because the pain was horrible, so the teacher called 911. After being rushed to the hospital, I was told that "I had gas cramps and would be fine." My whole class was listening on speakerphone to make sure I was ok. FML

Today, at work in a call center, I went into my locker to get my pain pills from a recent surgery. When I opened the bottle, half my pills spread all over the floor. My boss walked by and said, "I knew it!" FML

Hard pass

Today, while working at the hospital, I had a patient with a blocked bowel. It was so bad, feces were entering into her stomach. While leaning down to talk with her, she threw up. I was both vomited and defecated on at the same time. FML

A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do right? Since it was involuntary, I'm sure people will understand OP! I also pray for your well being too!

A women's gotta do what a women's gotta do right? Don't worry OP involuntary body actions often lead to pretty nasty things but hopefully you'll be fine :)

what I'm wondering is how OP deserves it. there's over 100 assholes who say she deserves it. YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHEN A CYST EXPLODES!

Did those "assholes" hit a nerve? Get over it.

slurshies 11

Tuesday 31 July 2012 4:38

um, obviously yes. they did hit a nerve. many actually. it's not OP's fault, what did she ever do to deserve that?

Monday 30 July 2012 9:08

that definitely would of been awkard! Hope your okay now OP. Hopefully it wasn't too... Err.. noticeable?

Monday 30 July 2012 11:37

That would be so mortifying... I can't even imagine being OP and having to show up to work again after this. I would seriously consider finding a new job if possible because I'd feel so awkward

#2 Her cyst RUPTURED causing severe stomach cramps and her bowels to release at work. While she was on the phone with a customer. With coworkers all around. I think it was pretty noticeable!

My question is, a call centre not in a foreign country where you can barely understand their English??? (I know a stereotype but it's pretty damn true, most of the time)

63 - 1) Just because you throw a question mark at the end does not make it a question. 2) What the hell does your comment have to do with the person's to which you replied?

That's awful! I hope you went to the hospital! Also if you go on the pill called Dianne, it should stop your body from having/creating cysts. Good luck darl!

Did you rupture a tonsil?

That would be impossible, considering the fact that I got them removed, years ago. But nice try though.(:

SierraaaNicoleee 26

I am well aware, but since mine haven't grown back, yes it is IMPOSSIBLE for ME to rupture a tonsil. Again, nice try though, very commendable effort.(:

About 18% of women are found to have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome using the Rotterdam criteria.

MerrikBarbarian 9

Monday 30 July 2012 17:12

86- pcos is a set of symptoms, triggered by hormonal changes. Not everyone who has pcos has a lot of ovarian cysts... And not everyone with multiple ovarian cysts has pcos. That said most women will have cysts at some point. Cysts that become large enough to rupture painfully (ie over 4cm) are less common, but virtually every woman gets cysts sooner or later

I am happy with being a woman, but sometimes it feels like our bodies turn against ourself... Is that weird what I wrote? Anyway, I think that might be a very little part of why we have sometimes that love/hate relationship with it...
