Today, I tried to cook a nice meal for my sister's friends. It turned out perfect and they enjoyed it, while I was in the bathroom throwing up for two hours due to food poisoning. FML

Today, I finally won an ongoing battle with my family to go to a restaurant I like, rather than a restaurant I hate with a passion. Now I'm throwing up, and my back is killing me. I'm the only one who got food poisoning. FML

Today, I went out to eat to celebrate getting over the stomach flu. I hadn't eaten solid food in over a week, so I was really excited and ordered my favorite dish. It gave me food poisoning. FML

Today, I got food poisoning from a restaurant that I had chosen for our company party. Everyone who went blamed me for their predicament. I also had to run to the toilet every ten minutes while they were all mad at me. FML

The blame game
Today, I got bad food poisoning. Again. The first time I thought it was the stomach bug that’s going around, so once I felt better, I proceeded to eat leftover food that actually got me sick the first time. FML

Today, after a week of staying in at night and fighting off a persistent cold, I was finally feeling well again, so I decided to go to my boyfriend's work BBQ. I got food poisoning. FML

Well, honestly if I were to make food for other people I'd rather myself get sick than the people I'm serving. But still, food poisoning sucks.

You took a bullet there.

It's better you getting sick rather than being responsible for others getting sick.

If you're the only one that got food poisoning, are you sure it was the spaghetti bolognese that did it? It seems to me like it could have been something else you ate if no one else got sick.

I was thinking the same thing

Agreed. Also, people often don't realize that the food poisoning doesn't happen from the food you ate that day, it is often from something anywhere from 2-4 days ago. That's why outbreaks like e.coli are hard to nail down when it come to origin because it all depends on how quickly you digest and how well your digestive system is able to take care of the bacteria on its own.

Actually #19 it can set in within 24 hours of consuming the tainted food.

I have a feeling it was something else you ate. If it was the spaghetti everyone would be sick I think

Food poisoning isn't usually caused by the last thing you ate, since it takes a couple hours for your body to digest it far enough to get sick from it.

I agree and usually it takes about 24 hours before you have symptoms of food poisoning
