toilet charity drive

A Problem Down Under

Posted 01.16.2003 by adamdodici (11)
My bowels have a tendency to declare a state of emergency at the most inopportune times. Like when I'm on a date, or in a subway, or even worse -- when I'm wandering around a foreign city.

Two years ago, I was in Melbourne, Australia, backpacking with a friend of mine. We decided to see some of the sights in the city, notably the Australian Museum of Sport and the stadium where the 1956 Olympics were held.

Let me preface this story with an explanation of the hostel I was staying in. The hostel was in the worst part of town possible -- Melbourne's Central Business District, across the street from a porn shop (the Wild Horse), in an area where 24-hour construction was legal. The bathrooms in the hostel were filthy -- wads of toilet paper all over, nasty flooded floors, no doors on the stall, random foreign people wandering in and out. It was like staying in a hotel in Somalia. It was so bad that I was either pooping at the train station across the street or eating a daily Imodium to keep from going at all.

The night before my friend and I explored the city in depth, we were out at a Hard Rock Cafe, where I devoured Buffalo wings and fajitas and spent the evening drinking vodka and flirting with some local girls. Not the nicest way to treat a stomach -- especially considering the Imodium cocktail I had for breakfast.

Afterwards, we proceeded back to the hostel and drank in their bar -- a place that only needed someone getting their arm cut off with a lightsaber to complete its resemblance to the Mos Eisley Cantina.

The next morning, we were four blocks from the Australian Museum of Sport when my stomach turned on me. It sounded like somebody was starting a truck in my gut. I started to walk faster, and as we got to the ticket window, I let out a great gurgling fart. People in line stared at me.

We got to the window and I breathlessly asked for the bathroom. The ticket window operator dryly told me to go down the hall. I slapped ten dollars down and told my friend to grab my ticket and meet me at the group tour starting point. I turned and ran, holding my clenched cheeks with my hands, towards the nearest bathroom.

I came careening around the corner to see a man and his young son head into the men's room. The only other option was the handicapped/adult-assisted room. I pushed through the door and ran to the toilet, where I promptly let out a huge fart and then the gushing Niagara Falls content of my stomach. It was like a melting glacier of fire -- liquid hot magma poop with boulders of flame.

After five minutes of constant relief, I looked over to see that there was no toilet paper. This was the handicapped bathroom, and it was large, so I turned my head this way and that, looking for a cabinet or storage area. There was NOTHING.

I had on an undershirt, but it was cold that day; and I didn't want to use my socks. There was nothing in my backpack except for my camera and my passport, both of which were either too valuable or too pointy.

Frantic thinking produced nothing. Finally, in desperation, I noticed -- next to the door, across fifteen feet of tile floor -- a wall rack of wax paper toilet seat covers. Managing to take off my shoes and pants while still sitting on the toilet, I threw them to the far corner and waddled across the room, leaving faint brown drip marks in my wake.

Wax paper is not absorbent. The coating is like Teflon -- nothing sticks. I only managed to get little pieces of poo with each wipe. After about 15 minutes of wiping, I got my ass clean enough to go back outside and face the world. My friend was standing there, in the middle of a tour group, and everyone was glaring at me. "We're late. They waited for you."

I hung my head in shame and noticed the faint brown drip marks on my boots.

Thanks for sharing Adam!! That's a great story. I've done a lot of research on the SBM (Sudden Bowel Movement) phenomenon as I too have had many a close call, and a few losses in my life when I couldn't make it to a toilet. One particular loss comes to mind while I was driving on the Ohio Turnpike... 32 miles to the next rest stop and I swear to you I made it 31.5 miles. I'll have to explain the story in detail to all the poopreporters sometime in the near future. Fact of the matter is, SBM is a real phenomenon, especially in other countries. It has something to do with the water I think.

The culmination of my research has led me to this: If you ever experience an ass tremor (one of those internal farts) get to a bathroom ASAP. Ass tremors almost indefinitely lead to a violent ass burst. Sometimes we are comforted after an ass tremor thinking that the gas is gone and everything is okay... but let me tell you, GET TO A SHITROOM ASAP! It's just the sign of a coming eruption.

I don't know if it's that your bowels are unreliable so much as you put too much pressure on your bowels. Hotwings, fajitas, vodka -- and IMMODIUM? No wonder they revolted on you.

Jeff B (159) -- 01.16.2003

I agree with you Dave. He turned his innards against him with all that poisoning and they attempted an ass coup.

doniker (1535) -- 01.16.2003

That Immodium AD can really mess me up. I don't take it unless I am pissing out of my ass for days on end, or if I have to do something important, or if I can't take the day off work.

Once I take Immodium I don't shit for at least 36 to 48 hours, and then it sometimes takes up to a week after that to get "regular" again.

Just Girl (not verified) -- 01.16.2003

I've never even thought of taking Immodium to stop "normal" bowel movements. I think your innards got the revenge they so rightly deserved. I pity you that your poo mishap was so uncomfortable and that you were embarassed in front of the tour group. However, I hope you have learned a valuable lesson about how you should treat your guts- especially while travelling.

It's beyond me why people spend the big bucks to travel to some far off exotic land to see people in another culture then they eat at MacDonalds and Hard Rock Cafe and shop at the Disney store. Live a little. Great story though.

adamdodici (11) -- 01.16.2003

Live a little, Sweating the Detais? You haven't lived until you've eaten bugs and tripped out with the Aborigines. I'll send my other story about meeting the Aborigines and hiking through the rainforest and eating bugs and the subsequent poop that I took on the banks of a crocidile infested river soon. I spent six weeks in Australia, and my weakness for buffalo wings drove me to the Hard Rock. Can that be faulted?

Sweating the Details: This holds true for a lot of people. I won a trip to London and took my England-loving friend... who URGED that we at at the McDonald's after seeing the Tower of London.

Their Quarter Pounder with Cheese tastes like our QPC.. crappy.. at least the literature on how to prevent you family from killing each other during football's (soccer) World Cup was entertaining...

"You haven't lived, He hasn't lived, my dad's bigger than your dad..." What an ironic place for a Pissing Contest. I'm sure we have all drunk sufficiently from the spring of life to exhaust our taste for the exotic, otherwise we'd not be discussing the details of our bowel movements with strangers on the internet with our spare time instead of skiing a thousand miles an hour straight out into a 700 degree loop and down a trough into a wild boar's pancreas (to the shegrin, I am sure, of Disney stockholders everywhere). Viva la Poop Report!

It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who takes an Imodium to postpone normal bowel movements until it's more convenient. I am often travelling, so I really appreciate the "do not shit" pills.

adude (not verified) -- 01.16.2003

I take liquid pepto when I travel so I don't have to crap in the interstate reststops. Usually when I drive cross country I don't shave. It looks like I'm all messed up but when I'm on vacation I don't car at all. I took my don't crap formula in summer of 2000 when I drove from Texas to Toronto. I didn't crap for 3 days and had a wonderful time on the highway.

When I birthed a turd in another nation I was in great pain. It was a rock hard creation that required relaxation on the crapper for at least 90 minutes. It was a pretty cool trip anyway. I saw the most beautiful woman I've ever seen on a boat to the Toronto islands near downtown. The lack of crap and her face are the things I most remember about that trip. Oh I saw niagara falls too.

PhillipSeidelsMom (not verified) -- 01.18.2003

Phillip Seidel (not verified) -- 01.24.2003

Thanks mom. I'll be right over. Do you mind if I bring some friends? I'm horny.

Chan (19) -- 01.26.2003

im vehemently against most products that either induce pooping or delay it. i know sometimes its necessary, but one should make sure its an emergency situation before he/she tries to control his/her ass. i used a laxative once and all it did was cause excruciating cramps and no end to justify the mean.

PhillipSeidelsMom (not verified) -- 01.28.2003

Son...that was some night, any chance you could bring back that well hung friend of yours back for Round 2? I tell you what, I'll leave a coiler in the loo for you to enjoy, and sniff to your heart's delight whilst I entertain you equine friend.....that's my darling boy, do hurry on over with Cazzo Cavallo.....muah my little darling!

DungDaddy (1370) -- 10.24.2006

I love the reference to Mos Eisley and the light saber.
