A Decision To Regret

Posted 10.22.2007 by googily (15)
About a mile or so out, the rumblings began -- mildly uncomfortable, but nothing to be alarmed about. Then, at the greatest possible distance from home, it hit. With the force of a freight train. It was as though my motion was an earthquake, provoking an avalanche that cascaded down my intestines and piled furiously at my back door. I knew it would be uncomfortable -- painful, even -- but I thought that I could make it. I *had* to make it.

My run slowed to an awkward hobble, and the three miles left in my route stretched into a veritable marathon.

Despite the best defense that I could muster, a small force squeezed through my clench. My body had sounded a warning: "Take care of this NOW, or suffer the consequences."

I veered off my path and frantically searched for an appropriate spot (the term "appropriate" being applied rather loosely). Stumbling through the brush, I grabbed two handfuls of suitably-sized leaves and settled upon my location, which was hidden from any passing cars but clearly visible to anyone who happened to be enjoying the path running perpendicular to my route. Nevertheless, I dropped trou and took care of business, thoroughly wiping with the leaves I had chosen.

Like a criminal fleeing the scene, I furtively scanned the perimeter, making sure that the coast was clear. Satisfied that I was free from any prying eyes, I made my way back to the road.

The run home was awful. I was constantly worried that my body's aforementioned warning was bleeding through my shorts and/or running down my leg (which was, of course, not the case). Outside of that, though, I could think only of getting into my house -- more specifically, my bathroom -- to rid myself of the mess caused by my digestive system's cruel joke (however hilarious it may have been).

When I finally arrived home, I went to the bathroom straightaway. After a preliminary cleaning, I stepped into the shower to wash and rewash -- and rewash! -- until satisfied that the muddled mess of sweat and excrement, and perhaps a layer or two of skin, was removed from my body.

Once content with my level of cleanliness, my mind was free to consider other things -- like the itching that had developed around the wiping area. "You did NOT just wipe your ass with poison ivy," I screamed at myself. Of course I didn't. "You know what poison ivy looks like right? Right?!? Three leaves... green... smallish..." What am I, a fucking boy scout?

Well folks, it turns out that I did NOT know what poison ivy looks like -- a fact confirmed by a Wikipedia search moments after leaving the shower. All I could do was laugh. "The next few weeks are going to suck," I thought.

And they did.

SShhhhh. Say it very quietly, my friend. Daphne may be around. She may be a bunny-hugger but she's pretty militant about people who shit and run without cleaning up after themselves. Just ask the Garbageman.

I question the truth behind this story... I find it hard to believe that the only leaves our author happened to grab just happened to be poison ivy (which, anyway, is a small plant and near the ground), and that our author would remember the look of the leaves he snatched up to wipe his ass enough to recognize them on wiki.
But hey, trouble always comes in cyclones! haha, and in that case, you have my pity, sir, for poison ivy and ass-leaking your plants are two horrific things - combined, I'm sure they form a horror of armageddon-like proportions.

I don't believe one word of this story

googily (15) -- 10.22.2007

An Address to the Doubters: This story is 100% true.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison_ivy

The leaves pictured in the upper right were the ones--I even went back to the area where I grabbed them from to be sure (although I couldn't be sure which plant I actually took them from, there were many such plants around) because the wiki article says that there is a very similar looking plant which I'd hoped was the one I chose.

Furthermore, I'd like to think that I have better things to do with my time than to make up silly poo stories (no offense intended). I stumbled across this site looking for medical advice (another unpleasant story--much less funny) and wrote up my account because I thought that this might be the crowd to appreciate it.

Other than some minor editorial changes, presumably from Dave, that's my story (my original title was "When it Rains, It Pours", which I much prefer)--all too real as far as I'm concerned...

this syory sounds like bs to me- no poison on the wipey hand-

Bilgepump (1732) -- 10.22.2007

uhuh, don't fret about the negative feedback you've received so far, those folks aren't even registered on the site, they just take up space.
Nice job, and keep coming back.

got that money you owe me?

Lame comment!

"I'd like to think that I have better things to do with my time than to make up silly poo stories"

One could say that you should have better things to do with your time that even write truthful poo stories. And that I should have better things to do than to comment on them.
Nevertheless, "better things to do" has rarely stopped other people from doing silly things. And despite the wiki link, I still don't really believe it. Sounds just a little too much like an urban legend.

But maybe I should register, maybe my opinion would automatically change ;)

Lame comment!

Very poorly written. I had to assume you were jogging until you mentioned it in second paragraphh. What did you eat? How long before you ran? Very poor. Argh.

"Well folks, it turns out that I did NOT know what poison ivy looks like -- a fact confirmed by a Wikipedia search moments after leaving the shower. All I could do was laugh. "The next few weeks are going to suck," I thought.
And they did."

If this story is true, then this part is the understatement of the decade.

As for the "silly poo stories", shiterature is more of a high art form here at PoopReport. Your story could have used some more detail. Perhaps your sphincter's future capers will help develop your poo-story writing abilities.

Dung Daddy, your comment made me LMAO!

Damn that does suck. I would forego the wiping at that point until I got home and showered. Hey at least your intestines were empty you achieved that goal so you were comfortable enough to go on your way. Yep I would have waited before wiping in this shituation.

I'm not sure if it's standard or appropriate practice to respond to the comments that people leave, but here goes:

"no poison on the wipey hand" -- The palms of your hands are resistant. I did however get a bit on the tops of them, although I think that was probably just from scratching and spreading (You'd be surprised, and perhaps disgusted, at how much it can spread because of that)

"One could say that you should have better things to do with your time that even write truthful poo stories" -- I believe that truthful, and funny, poo stories are certainly worth telling, but making them up is more than a little silly.

"Very poorly written. I had to assume you were jogging until you mentioned it in second paragraphh. What did you eat? How long before you ran?" --I intended for the reader come into the story without background (like the fact that I was jogging). Perhaps that was a mistake, but I still like it. I probably would have written it a bit differently if I'd known that my original italics weren't going to transfer as well. I don't remember what I ate--I think that was overshadowed by the following events. Also, the nature of the poo was not the focus of the story.

"Wise man say it is better to shit in bushes instead of pants." --my sentiment exactly :)

"Your story could have used some more detail" --I didn't really want to go into much detail about the actual pooping or the discomfort/pain cause by the ivy. I find that more gross than funny. Buy hey, I'm new to shiterature.

"Sounds just a little too much like an urban legend." --That made me smile. I'm quite happy that my story is ridiculous enough for disbelief.

Don't fret, uhuh47. Calling "bullshit" is a common occurrence on Poopreport. Some people make a sport out of it. This is alot more believable than others that have been posted here.

As to people insulting how you write, your story just had a different style that the norm. You should read some of the comments we get if someone dare use the third person or other difference formats.

And don't fret about Eoz, either. He rarely has anything nice to say. We get people like this from time to time, too. Lots of criticism, but no real contribution to the site.

And don't heed Deja Poo's warning of me. He's just got poopybutt. ;)

I hope you don't think I was calling bullshit on your story, uhuh47. Not at all. And now that you explained the lack of further detail, I completely understand. :) One person's shits and giggles are another's gagging.

I truly hope I didn't offend or insult; if so, I do apologize. I try to be a gracious shit enthusiast both on the pot and on the boards. :)

"One person's shits and giggles are another's gagging."

Hahaha, exactly. Thanks, uhu47, for not going into detail on your poison ivy discomfort. As much as some readers might want to hear the gruesome detail, I think I'll survive just fine without it.

PS: Has this taught a lesson? Perhaps you should run with a little stash of toilet paper tucked into your shoes. You never know when it'll come in handy.

Bunga Din (1239) -- 10.22.2007

Good story unhu47, I'm 43, have spent a lot of time in the woods myself (I golf and tend to hook) and still have no clue the difference between poison ivy and many other plants, I don't really worry about it....I think now I shall.

Bilgepump (1732) -- 10.22.2007

College Poopette has a good idea...almost. If I kept toilet paper (yeah, I know....you're all saying,"but Bilgeydear, you use cats, not paper..." just bear with me for the sake of argument) in my shoe, I would end up with athlete's ass....and thats as bad as the poison ivy.

This story did not set off my bullshit alarms at all. Sooner or later almost everybody has to take an unplanned dump and poison ivy grows everywhere. Not a big stretch to put the two together and in fact I know someone who suffered the same misfortune.

i believe you...in the heat of the moment, poison ivy can resemble angelsoft.
i pity you regarding the other affected parts, too...next time, maybe take a page out of Utta Pippig's play book. Boston marathon, 1996, wicked diarrhea, down her legs while running, and she won.
(maybe, if she ever wrote about that day, she should call it "brown road to victory"?)
anyway, i liked your story while wishing you never had experienced it.
