Today, I returned to work after celebrating the New Year in Mexico. I wasn't feeling well, but didn't want to call in sick after already taking a vacation. Now I'm at work with diarrhea, and trotting to the bathroom every 30 minutes. My commute home usually takes around an hour. FML

Today, I had to call out of work because I was ill, but they didn't believe me because today was the day I was supposed to come back from vacation. Now I'm stuck at work, constantly running to the bathroom, and they still won't let me go home. FML
Today, I joked with my boss about calling in sick to work tomorrow with food poisoning to avoid taking the Sunday shift. Tonight, I'm sitting on the toilet bowl in agonizing pain with combination diarrhea and vomiting. My shift starts in 3 hours. FML
Today, I was tired from an all-nighter I'd pulled because I thought I had the next four days off work. I got called in, and went because I have bills to pay. However, the amount of energy drinks I drank to stay on top of my job duties gave me such bad diarrhea, I had to go home. 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, despite having a stomach bug, I went into work, as my boss is overseas and had warned me not to take any sick leave until she returned. After 4 hours and vomiting twice, I left. She found out and sent me an email bitching me out for coming in sick. FML
Today, I was on holiday over the Christmas period and ended up with food poisoning. I spent most of the time on the toilet. I think I’ll stay home next time. FML
Today, I have horrible diarrhea because of IBS. If I was at home, this wouldn't be that big of an issue, but I'm at work and I don't have access to a bathroom all the time. I also found out I have about 10 minutes to get to the toilet or else I'll probably shit myself. FML
Today, I woke 2 hours before my alarm was supposed to go off, feeling incredibly sick. I then ran downstairs and had diarrhea while I threw up. I spent Valentine's Day having diarrhea every time I coughed or sneezed. FML
Today, I have a job interview after months of struggling to find work. I also woke up with explosive diarrhea and can’t be away from the toilet for more than 10 minutes. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were finally able to settle on having a day out together after putting it off for months because of work/other random reasons. This morning I woke up with the worst case of diarrhea I’ve ever had in my life. I won’t be leaving the bathroom anytime soon. FML

Montezuma's revenge is the worst. Plus in Mexico, they serves re-fried beans on everything including breakfast. It would get anyone sick.

WTF?

Sourgirl, I had never heard the colloquialism 'Montezuma's revenge'! Maybe it's because I live in Guatemala and, just like in Mexico, most people here eat refried beans on everything; our eating habits are very similar, so we wouldn't get sick when going to Mexico! Cadeau, instead of posting that useless 'WTF?' comment, you could have just googled it, like I did. Google is your friend!

Yeah, last time I went to a museum, in the very entrance there was a big poster letting tourists know that they should not drink our water and warning them about our food too, those posters are everywhere, 'cause it's a big problem here. However, I don't think people are ignorant, of course some of them are, but not all. In fact, I don't know in reference to what you are saying that people are ignorant. A lot of tourists here get sick 'cause they're not familiar with our cooking. The water, well, that's obviously a problem too.

Who gets sick right after vacation? You obviously did some things you shouldn't have been doing...partying too hard, alcohol, etc. You totally deserved it.
