Judas Shoes

Posted 04.12.2005 by Poopster39 (189)
I hate wearing new leather sneakers. They're just so white and obvious. Like putting a blue bonnet on a pig. Everyone notices. And having OCD, I simply don't like to draw unnecessary attention to myself. As a result, my attire has always been somewhat middle-of-the-road. Nothing fancy or flashy. Occasionally, though, I simply have to break in a new pair of sneakers. There's no choice in the matter. And whenever I do, inevitably I'll end up walking past some doofus who's just waiting to make the brilliant remark: "Hey, new sneakers."

"A-hur hur hur. Good one. A-hur hur hur." I don't actually say this. But one day I'd like to.

It was around 1993 and I was working for a printing company. I had my own private office, one of several in the building. Most of the building was factory space, housing ten printing presses, a finishing area, and several shipping stations. Even though I was white-collar, I dressed casually on this job, since my position required me to spend frequent time in the factory. I wore mostly Dockers and sneakers, that sort of thing. Since my office was located closer to the factory than the sales offices, I generally used the men's room shared by the pressmen and factory workers.

That particular year the company was doing well and was desperately in need of more factory space. There was about two thousand square feet of unused office space flanking the factory restrooms. We had previously leased out this area, but the tenants moved out earlier that year and the space was just sitting there wasted. The owners brought in a construction crew to tear out the old offices, leaving only the restrooms standing. After demolition was completed, the two original restrooms sat smack in the middle of the enlarged factory floor, visible from all locations. As a shameful pooper, this did not sit well with me one bit.

It was summer and I had taken off the previous week from work. I came in Monday morning having forgotten there was demolition and construction going on. Had I remembered, I would have probably worn some old jeans and sneakers. I had on instead my new ultra-white Converses, fresh out of the box and gleaming.

"Hey, new sneakers." It was one of the sales assistants.

"Yes, Merilee. I have new sneakers. Thanks for noticing."

Dimwit.

As I entered the factory, I saw the construction crew hard at work framing out the new space. They were loud and boisterous. Because I'm such a neurotic, I tend to avoid loud people. So I headed straight to my office and planted myself in front of the computer, content to remain there as long as possible.

All that morning I had a bad case of wet farts. They were pretty noxious and my office wasn't well ventilated. So I had to go outside a few times to release them. My office had an emergency exit that opened to an overgrown weed patch behind the factory. It was private and the perfect place to vent ass-gas. There was a lean-to shed ten feet away that housed several loud compressors. This spot was one of my safe havens for the two years I worked in this location.

By 11:30 that morning it became apparent that was I going to pay dearly for my weekend of drinking and excess, not to mention the three-egg, bacon and cheese hero and triple latte I'd had that morning. Normally when I felt a bad boy coming I would actually drive home to use my own bathroom. I only lived ten minutes away, and for a shameful pooper that was a small price to pay for my peace of mind. Unfortunately, liquipoo waits for no one.

I put on a casual air as I walked through the factory toward the men's room. Meanwhile, the pressure in my colon was building to intolerable levels. Naturally, I was anxious, and I offered a silent prayer that nobody was inside the lone stall. My only alternative was to run back to my office, out the emergency exit, and shit in the weeds. I actually kept a roll of toilet paper in my desk drawer for just such an emergency.

Thankfully, nobody was inside the men's room. I burst through the stall door, dropped my pants, and started to spray. Holy crap. Whatever it was that spritzed out of my crack could have been used to remove graffiti. My butt felt like it was spewing sulfuric acid. I could feel the flesh dissolving inside my o-ring. Thoughts of reconstructive surgery and butt catheters ran through my head as I blasted out the remains of my last three meals, two of which I couldn't even remember. When it finally ended, I found myself sweaty and panting. I was sure there was a hole in my colon the size of my fist. I had no doubt I was bleeding internally; I was afraid to look inside the bowl. I wiped my butt and it was like trying to clean up a quart of spilled grease with a napkin. The toilet paper roll was about to become history.

As I finished cleaning up, I sensed the worst was yet to come. All of a sudden, a warm current wafted up to my face, coating it with an oily residue. Before I could make a move, an enormous stench-bubble had encapsulating my body from head to toe, like a monster jellyfish consuming it's prey. Normally I'm immune to my own stink, but this was a new species altogether. It smelled like a truckload of egg salad had been left outside for days in the sun, along with a few dead possum. The intensified odor of sulfur and rotted flesh created an acrid vapor that caused my eyes to well up with tears. The membranes in my nose burned as if someone had stuck a hot poker up there. I gagged and retched as I sat there in my own filth, scratching desperately at the air and gasping for oxygen.

At this point it occurred to me that I was in a potentially humiliating situation. I had to sever any ties to this beast before anyone could connect me with it. That meant getting out of there fast and putting as much distance between us as possible.

As the entity finished consuming the rest of the oxygen in the room, I quickly used up the remainder of the TP roll and flushed the toilet. I was pulling my pants up when the bathroom door burst open. Several men walked in laughing over something. I instantly took them to be construction workers. Cursing my bad luck, I sat back down and froze in place. There was a pause, and then one of the men started to gag. Then the others joined in.

"Oh, my god. What the hell is that?"

"Holy crap. Are you all right in there?"

"Aughhhhhhh! Aughhhhhhh!"

My world began to crumble around me. As I sat frozen like a piece of granite, one of the three workers walked out, gagging and retching. His two companions made snide remarks about him in his absence, using words that called into question his manhood. (You know, things that had to do with the female anatomy and such. Apparently, in their world of sweat and power tools, anyone who couldn't stand a little shit-stink didn't deserve to be part of their exclusive club.)

They stepped up to the urinals and began a marathon piss contest that seemed to last the rest of the afternoon. Meanwhile, I sat there motionless in my prison of shame, waiting for the verbal abuse that was certain to come. A moment later, it started.

"Jeez, that's bad," one of them muttered to his companion.

Pure evil, both of them. My whole life up to that moment had been dedicated to avoiding encounters such as this. And now here I was, stuck in a vault with two tormentors and my own fecal stench -- which, by the way, still had enough life in it to kill children and the elderly.

"Ohhh, boy."

Each of these Nazi bastards had the bladder of an elephant. Their streams were endless, I tell you. It seemed as if there was an unspoken contest going on between them to see who could last the longest. As I uttered a silent prayer for them to finish up, time slowly ground to a halt. One of my worst fears was coming true, and these guys simply were not going to leave. Ever. They were waiting outside like the sentries to hell, preparing to strip me and lay bare my shame for all to see.

"Man, what did that guy eat?"

Will this infernal torture never end? By this time it had been nearly a minute since my heart had stopped. My brain was now starved of oxygen, and I could see flashes of light out of the corners of my eyes. A tunnel was opening before me and I saw my dead grandmother reaching out. I always liked her.

I didn't think things could possibly get worse, until one of the men came up with a nickname for me: "White-Sneakers."

"Hey, White-Sneakers. What was for breakfast anyway?" He said this casually, as if asking for the time. Then he squeezed out another endless stream of urine.

That was it for me. I had been tagged like an albatross. It was these infernal sneakers. They were a beacon that could easily identify me in a group of a thousand men. There was no escape for me. I knew it for a certainty. I sat there in stony silence, hoping for a miracle. Perhaps an explosion in the factory. Anything.

As I look back now, I realize I should have been cool about the whole thing. I could have easily called these two guys the f-word. They would have gained great respect for me and left me alone. Do you know what I did instead? I coughed. You know, one of those wussy, clear-your-throat coughs that announces to the world, "I'm vulnerable. Please abuse me."

Instantly one of my tormentors picked up on my shame. "Hey, White-Sneakers. Don't think you can hide from us today."

That's it. I was now a target. The synapses in my brain began misfiring. The room started to spin and the world around me sounded as if it was under water. Some sort of liquid sloshed inside my head. The mocking voices became deeper and slower, like a 45-speed record playing at 33 RPMs. They were casually plotting my downfall as they urinated.

"Yeah, White-Sneakers. I'd keep out of sight if I were you."

Flush. Flush.

"Har-har-har-har-har. Har-har-har-har-har."

After they left, I sat there paralyzed for another minute or two. Gradually my breathing and heartbeat returned. I had to come up with a plan.

One of the manifestations of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is extreme paranoia, especially when under duress. This is how my mind processed things: I was now officially "White-Sneakers: The Guy Who Stunk Up The Bathroom." I was positive the entire construction crew, along with all my co-workers, were waiting outside the door for me to come out. They were certain to be holding a banner that said "Welcome Back, Shit-Boy." Of these things I had no doubt.

At this point, any escape plan had merit. I actually toyed with the idea of squeezing through the ceiling vent. Really. I didn't even care if I died inside the walls. My poop-stench would have probably covered over the gases from my rotting corpse anyway. Or, I could just stay in the bathroom all day until I was sure everyone had left. Believe me, I'm perfectly capable of doing this. I would simply stand in front of the sink and pretend to wash my hands until five PM.

But it always came back to the sneakers. Those cursed sneakers. They would stand out like two surfboards strapped to my feet. Everyone would know for sure. No doubt word was spreading even as I stood there. I was certain of it.

Five minutes passed before I finally gathered the courage to peek outside the door. I cracked it open a half inch and couldn't believe my eyes. I was in the clear. Most everyone had left for lunch. I was genuinely mystified. I skulked past the few remaining factory workers and practically dove into my office. Then I snuck out the emergency exit and walked around the back of the factory toward my car. I arrived at my home ten minutes later.

"What are you doing home?" My wife asked.

"I forgot something."

"What?"

"Nothing."

Five minutes later I drove back to work wearing my old brown work boots. Am I sick, or what?

Man, P39, I feel bad for you. I myself am a shameless, rude bastard, prone to violence and vulgarity. If they asked me what was for breakfast, I would have said "Why don't you come in here and look, you sick fuck? While you're bent over counting the jalepeno stems, I'll ram my fist up your ass and use you for a blow-job puppet." That would let 'em know with whom they are dealing. I understand that inner demons prevented you from doing this.

Tough guys don't necessarily have to huff the putrid shit-stink of some quavering ass-poison victim -- and like it. Personally I think these guys were closet scat-fiends.

Good story.

ParaPooper (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

"...A tunnel was opening before me and I saw my dead grandmother reaching out. I always liked her."...excellent writing....great story!

Poopster39 (189) -- 04.12.2005

Thanks, DungDaddy. Actually, guys like that don't scare me physically. I'm pretty capable of taking care of myself when necessary. You're right about the inner-demons thing though. If you had replaced the construction workers with 2 tax accountants I would have probably had the same reaction. Thankfully, now I'm on appropriate medication and my neurotic, obsessive behavior had toned down considerably.

SamDamnit (1192) -- 04.12.2005

Yes, you are sick but you are a brilliant story teller. Thank you for that one. The description of the smell entity, was excellent.

El Poopadore (46) -- 04.12.2005

excellent story! I'll have to submit the story about the time my husband shit his pants IN DisneyWorld

El Cagador (42) -- 04.12.2005

Just like your last story. You are an idiot. Have you not learned about the courtesy flush. For someone with OCD your not to smart. Every time I shit I flush 2 or 3 times. No oder, no mess, no plugged toilet. When will you learn

DungDaddy (1386) -- 04.12.2005

El cagador, courtesy flushing is a good thing. Go ahead and check your spelling and punctuation before calling somebody stupid.

Poopster39 (189) -- 04.12.2005

El Cagador, you seem to take this far too seriously. For someone who’s obviously been visiting this forum for a number of years, you seem to have lost sight of it’s purpose. Perhaps you need to come up with a poop experience of your own. I’ve read your two previous story submissions, and not only do they lack any credibility, but they read like a cheap porno flick. No finesse. No drama. No point to them. And by the way, calling me an idiot has no effect on me whatsoever. I’m the first person to admit I’m an idiot.

ThreePly (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

Yet another classic by P39. Rock on, man! That sucks when you become a prisoner of your own dung. I can understand how tough it is to be Shameful, but being Shameful with OCD is a whole other thing. I'd advise keeping an extra pair of shoes in your car or office from now on.

Sharty_Jones (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

This was a fantastic story. You almost got me fired as I was laughing my ass off when my boss walked by. Perfect descriptions.

The Man with the Golden Buns (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

Bravo! Very nice work!!!

Stew Brown (24) -- 04.12.2005

Why you aren't writing for Time or Newsweek I'll never know. Excellent.

Tronald Dump (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

Wow, you take shamefullness to a whole new level. I liked the way you acknowledged your delusional paranoia by assuming anyone commenting on your sneakers was trying to harm or belittle you. Funny.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 04.12.2005

Ha ha ha! That's great!

I especially love the reference to the oily residue. It sort of put me in the scene.

Great writing man. We need more stories written in this form!

Hugh G. Rexxion (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

Holy cow, that's the worst. I hate new sneakers for the very same reason, and something like this happening would pretty much be the end of the world as I knew it. I would've considered jumping out of the stall, strangling them with the lilly-white shoelaces, and putting their bodies in the construction debris after hours, though, to ensure that nobody found out about my pooping.

freakazoid (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

Tronald Dump, where ya been? I missed your commentary.

the crapper (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

I like how you instantly put down construction workers and call them evil. If it wasn't for them you would be sleeping in a cave tonight, moron. See a shrink and crap like a man.

Pill Pooper (451) -- 04.12.2005

P39 I feel your pain my friend. I too am extremly shameful and have some OCD tendencies. I will go to extremes to not shit at work. And I'll never try to stick out in a crowd. Just know there are others like you out there!

Great story also. Superbly told.

Hugh G. Rexxion (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

"the crapper", he's just calling it like it is. If construction workers were more intelligent, they wouldn't exactly be construction workers now, would they?

freakazoid (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

Well, maybe not "the crapper". He's really el cagador coming back to add a comment because no one else agreed with him.

Poopster39 (189) -- 04.12.2005

El Cagador, The Crapper, Il Crapparoni, Crap-Chong Foo (whatever you call yourself): You seem to be a very angry person. Obviously, it has blinded your ability to read things clearly. I have nothing against construction workers. In fact some of my closest friends and family members are in construction. In the future, I'll try to use fewer words with more than two syllables.

the crapper (not verified) -- 04.12.2005

In response to the comments above- I did not post under another name, only "the crapper". I was a carpenter for 10 years, helping put myself through ASU. I am now a construction superintendent in Arizona and Nevada and yes, I can read and speak words with more than two syllables jackass. Those men you tried to ridicule and talk down to were busting their asses putting money on the table for their families. I've met some of the most intelligent and respectful people in the construction industry, unlike yourself.
May you cower in fear in a smelly stall for years to come.

freakazoid (not verified) -- 04.13.2005

Crapper, you're not suppose to stick the hammer up your ass. Nailing something has nothing to do with giving yourself a wood dong job. Now pull it out of your ass and stop bothering us with your boring ranting.

Gaseous Glay (not verified) -- 04.13.2005

Good story. Captured the paranoia perfectly that most people can relate to.

. . . or maybe it's just me. What's the name of that medication you're on?

Crapslikeclockwork (58) -- 04.13.2005

Brilliant story. I suffer from OCD, Panic Disorder and Generalised Anxiety and know full well what the mind can do. Luckily, or not depending on how you look at it, my OCD is different to yours. Its good to see someone writing about their problems though, too many people bottle it up.

Poopster39 (189) -- 04.13.2005

To anyone in the construction industry: If I in any way offended you, I'm sorry. Clearly, that was not my intent. In fact the two gentlemen in the story were simply having good-natured fun and never posed any physical threat to me. It was my didtorted view of the world, my paranoia, that caused me to see things differently. I had hoped everyone could see that.

Gaseous clay: I'm on 300 mg/day of Effexor. For me it's a lifesaver.

"the crapper": I don't see a shrink but I'm in counseling. You might consider something similar to assist you with anger management. Also, I promise to try to poop like a man if you promise to stand up for a change and pee like one.

Logjam (2443) -- 04.13.2005

Wonderfully told story. Give us more, Poopster39 (and consider changing your name to Poopstar1.) I've always found it interesting how males, in general, regard observations about their new clothes or hair cuts as an insult while females get offended if you don't comment.

wonderpance (595) -- 04.13.2005

another great story! i love your writing because, aside from being good writing, you can take a subject that's been written about like a million times (on this site) and make it sound like a story i've never heard before.

for some reason i really liked the part about your gramma: "i always liked her." classic.

also, i think the crapper is the only one who took offense to your construction worker references. it was pretty obvious to me that you only regarded them as evil because of the circumstances, and not because they were construction workers. i think the crapper might just be a little too sensitive.

also, logjam, not all females get offended if you don't comment on new clothes or haircuts. i don't expect guys, or anyone else for that matter, to notice that kind of crap, nor do i care if they do. but i know some girls do care, so i'll forgive you for the generalization. this time.

Logjam (2443) -- 04.13.2005

Wonderpance. My insertion of the phrase "in general" was meant to formally acknowledge the existence of exceptions such as yourself. But now I note that by placing that disclaimer after "males" rather than before it, I perhaps suggested that with females, there are no exceptions to this rule. My bad, and had Dave been editing my post, he would have caught this.

My wife, by the way, is also an exception to this rule, and would have taken exception just like you did had I uttered this to her in this poorly-constructed form. I won't dare try, however, to make any generalization from this commonality (e.g., I'll bet like her you were a tomboy), duly noting that with you, I have no room left for mistakes.

DungDaddy (1386) -- 04.13.2005

Stop apologizing to each other, you monkey-butts

Logjam (2443) -- 04.13.2005

Hey there DungDaddy. I had been meaning to tell you how spiffy you looked in the photo posted in the Poop for Peace galary. Is that a new shirt you're sporting?

Log Flume (not verified) -- 04.13.2005

El Cagador Is calling you an idiot, but he can't even spell. It's ODOR not ODER.

the crapper (not verified) -- 04.14.2005

I must apologize for my behavior earlier. You see I hadn't taken my anti-depressants this week until now. I know see the error of my ways and will go back into my padded room and stop bothering you all.

Emily (22) -- 04.14.2005

The dialouge made me choke on my cookie and shake with laughter. I loved how you spaced it out and I loved your passive aggressive comments about your coworkers and yourself. Sounds alot like myself, if I were in that situation. I probably would have taken the same ending.

wonderpance (595) -- 04.14.2005

logjam, it's ok. i kinda knew you didn't mean to generalize, so i was really just giving you crap. but it's nice to see you can acknowledge the error of your ways!

DungDaddy (1386) -- 04.14.2005

Well I'm glad SOMEBODY noticed.

SweetCheeks (not verified) -- 04.14.2005

Poopster39, I just read all of your stories....
I think I'm in LOVE!

Converse Freak (not verified) -- 04.15.2005

Great story, P39. Those two guys are probably shameful shitters themselves. Converse rock! I do have a bit of an odd Converse obsession... so were they low tops or hi tops?

Poopster39 (189) -- 04.16.2005

Low tops.

Capt. Crap (not verified) -- 04.16.2005

P39, SUPERB!! I really liked the "a-hur hur hur"; I could really hear it. Great descriptions.

GwennyPoo (not verified) -- 04.22.2005

I feel for you my friend. I'm slightly OCD myself about going #2 in public. I spend many an entire day on campus, and often just drive home to poop.

diarrhea dude (not verified) -- 04.25.2005

P39, you have issues.

And by the way, your writing makes me think you are a closeted homosexual.

Get more help.

Poopster39 (189) -- 04.27.2005

Diarrhea Dude (or Turd TurdGutSon, whatever you call yourself these days): I'm beginning to think you've developed an obsession with me. Now you're even going back to my old stories to send me your love notes. You really need to crawl out of your mom's basement and get yourself a girlfriend.

daphne (3613) -- 04.28.2005

I loved it. Rarely anymore does a story make me laugh out loud, but this one did. I think the last one that did that was the Thanksgiving day poopfest/plunger incident.

I was afraid at one point that you were going to muck up your new shoes. Lucky for you that you could drive home to change into boots.

LikeGravel (not verified) -- 04.28.2005

Thank you Poopster39 for a great story. Good word choice.

"After demolition was completed, the two original restrooms sat smack in the middle of the enlarged factory floor, visible from all locations. As a shameful pooper, this did not sit well with me one bit."

Nor did you sit well with it.

Victoria (not verified) -- 04.29.2005

P39, excellent story. I love how you elaborate and put in perfect details.

"'Hey, new sneakers.' It was one of the sales assistants.

'Yes, Merilee. I have new sneakers. Thanks for noticing.'

Dimwit. "

I love that word.

I'm not joking when I say this... you sound extremely hott.

Poopster39 (189) -- 04.29.2005

Hey Victoria. You made my day. Sadly, when I showed your comment to my wife to make her jealous, she started lauging.

Chuck (not verified) -- 04.30.2005

Yeah, I hate it when the turd stench follows the one who gave it birth. Great story P39.

L Wrong Hubbard (216) -- 10.18.2005

Excellently writeen Poopster.
Next time, dont flush an leave that mess for the tough guys to choke on

Happy trails,
L. Wrong

Next time, try some black Chuck Taylor All-Stars. If you want to be truly fashionable, try the hi-tops.
