Today, my boss made me cover for him by working two extra hours, because he had to rush home early to deal with an "emergency". The emergency was taking a shit, because he claims to have a phobia of doing them anywhere but at home. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, I took a dump at work. When I went to flush the toilet, it clogged and began to overflow. I left the bathroom as it was and as I walked out, my boss came in. FML
Today, I called into work because of a family emergency. My boss was understanding; my coworker? He tore me a new one because his wife wanted him to take the day off, which he didn't because it was going to be a tough day at work. He also threatened to find a way he could get me fired. FML
Today, I was sick from both ends at work. My boss wouldn't let me go home, and told me to borrow a pair of spare pants to change into. I suffered another bout of gastroenteritis and shit someone else's pants. FML
Today, I went to take a shit and found my boss shaving in the toilet. While in the cubicle, he asked me about my work and the conversation lasted 15 minutes. I stayed in there even though I'd finished shitting after 5 minutes, during which 3 people heard my progress report while shitting next to me. FML
Today, my insane boss decided I poop too much. Now, every time I go to the bathroom, he follows me in and tries to get me to hurry up by reading passages from 50 Shades of Grey. FML
Today, my boss used the restroom at work. She returned and told me I needed to go clean the toilet because "someone left a mess in there." It was her mess. FML
Today, my boss recognized my shoes under the stall wall and had a conversation with me while we were both taking a dump. I had severe diarrhea. FML
Today, I have food poisoning. My boss told me that if I didn't come into work, I'd be fired. Not 30 minutes after sitting down, I sneezed and shat my pants. My boss still won't let me leave. FML
Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML

Frankly, I know how he feels, especially if he once accidentally clogged the toilet before his cute co worker went in afterwards... FML

It is not at all uncommon to feel uncomfortable using a public washroom. If I can avoid pooping in a place, where I have to sit for a while and have no idea who sat there before me.. not to mention the inconvenience of stinking up the place or even worse, making noises while there are other people around..

Hey now it is a real phobia. It's probably one a person should try to get over, but real all the same.

People should never be judged, or forced to overcome a phobia. Additionally, I'm not sure a fear of public toilets is irrational. O.o

I am sorry but if you knew about it and yet willingly stayed two extra hours then you deserved it. Sometimes you have to stand up for yourself OP.

As shitty as this situation was, I assume you got paid the hours you covered, regardless of where your boss was.

"Shitbreak"? Just like Finch from "American Pie".

Jerky, but I can relate.

it wasn't fair of your boss to do that, but I can relate to his "phobia". mines not, but I won't take a crap anyway but in the comforts of my own bathroom, with the FML app up on my phone!

I've read these comments about folks not using public restrooms. What do you all do when you are on a road trip or on a plane or at the airport? Do you take ammodium before you go on your trip? Just wondering.

for my husband, hotel bathrooms and family`s homes aren't a big deal. It's just the public ones.

On a road trip, there's nothing like squatting beside the car in the emergency lane with the doors open, (for modesty of course), on the side of a freeway/highway, while other cars whiz past.

If I know we're going to be away from the house for a long time, I go before we leave and stay away from drinks until we're either back home or at a hotel if it's a vacation.
