One summer when I was about 14 or 15 years old, my friend and his family
invited me to their "time-share" apartment on the beach.
The apartment building was two big buildings with a swimming pool between them.
My friend and I were having a great time swimming in the pool, when suddenly I
was overcome with an intense need to plant my butt on a toilet -- pronto!
I rushed out of the pool without a word to my friend or his family, ran to
the main apartment building doors and flew through the lobby looking for any sign
of the public restrooms... but I couldn't find one.
I could feel my insides churning as I ran to the check-in desk and demanded to
know where the toilet was! I was sure there must be one in the lobby -- but, to
my dismay, the girl behind the counter calmly told me that the restroom were past
the pool, and in the lobby of the OTHER building! I didn't have time to argue -- I
tore out of there and made a bee-line to the other building. I was oblivious to
anything but the feeling that my bowels were about to unleash their fury -- toilet
or no.
So, I finally got to the men's room, and was relieved to find it completely
unoccoupied. I rushed to the stall, and dropped my swim trunks just in time -- or so I
thought!
The millisecond before I sat down, my intestines rained down a huge, smelly
diarrhea flood all over my legs, my swimsuit, the floor, and the toilet seat!
But, there was no one else there, so I shut the stall door and finished my
business. I was relieved to notice that there happened to be a small shower in the
bathroom next to my stall -- so I sat on the throne amist the disaster I created
and planned to shower off to make myself presentable... but just as I opened the
stall door, my friend and his family walked in -- they had seen me running around
like a raving lunatic, and were concerned.
I was staying with them for a week... and even though no one mentioned my accident,
I couldn't look any of them in the eye again.
