A Rest Stop Too Far

Posted 05.07.2008 by Little Lord Far... (24)
Back in the winter of 1985, I was a junior at a state university about two-and-a-half hours from my hometown. My sister Jenny, who is a year younger, attended the same school. We were driving back to school after spending Christmas break at home.

Usually we took turns driving, so at the time of this incident, Jenny was behind the wheel. There we were, traveling the interstate on a cold Sunday evening in January, listening to campy eighties acts like Duran Duran, Cyndi Lauper, and Wang Chung, when all of a sudden I began to get a vague feeling of discomfort from within my internal workings. No worries, I thought to myself. It's just the pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, and onion pizza that I'd had for lunch earlier in the day talking back to me a little bit. We were less than half-an-hour from arriving back at school, and I figured we'd be there long before things started getting really serious down there.

All of a sudden, like a hunting knife gutting a deer, a huge cramp cut through me, and the pizza began doing jumping jacks and cartwheels inside my stomach. I realized with horror that if I didn't find a restroom soon, I would have my very own personal toxic landfill inside my pants.

"Um, Jenny," I said, trying to keep the rising feeling of panic out of my voice. "Can we stop at the next rest area?"

Anxious to get back to school so she could call her boyfriend, Jenny gave me an exasperated look. "Oh, come on, Little Lord Fartleroy, can't you hold it a little longer? We'll be back at school in twenty minutes."

Just then another horrendous cramp seized me, and by the look of contorted agony on my face my sister could see that my request involved much more than just a simple draining of the ol' lizard.

"Okay, hang on," she said. "The rest area is just ahead."

"Well, hurry! I can't hold back much more."

We passed a blue highway sign that stated "Rest Area -- 2 Miles." I moaned audibly, and my tormented innards convulsed angrily. In my current state of misery, two miles seemed like the distance between the earth and the sun. In response, Jenny stepped on the accelerator and the speedometer crept up to seventy.

"Can't you make this thing go any faster?" I whined.

"If I go any faster, I could get a ticket," said Jenny. This was back when the speed limit was still just fifty-five.

"I'll pay for the damn ticket!" I bawled. "Just get me to the rest area, quick!" The speedometer moved up to seventy-five.

We came to another highway sign. "Rest Area -- 1 mile." I cursed loudly and writhed around in the seat like a freshly-caught fish flopping around in a rowboat, trying desperately to keep at bay for just a little longer the smoldering brown torrent that was surging up inside me. My sister glanced over at me with concern and pushed the speed up to eighty.

Another sign: "Rest Area, Next Right." Finally!

Jenny slowed the car down as we entered the ramp to the rest area, but she was still racing me pretty fast towards my hoped-for salvation. She pulled into the first free parking space. I already had the door open and one foot on the ground before she came to a complete stop. I bolted out without bothering to shut the door and waddled up the walkway to the restrooms as quickly as I was able, holding my butt cheeks together in an effort to keep the noxious ass sewage sloshing around in my guts from exploding into my Fruit of the Looms.

My efforts to maintain control of my sphincter until I could reach the blessed solace of the porcelain throne ultimately proved futile. Just as I put my hand on the door handle to the men's restroom, I felt the warm, smelly, gooey sensation that we all know and dread fill up the backside of my pants and proceeded to cascade down my legs.

I slunk miserably into the nearest available stall to survey the damage. It was pretty bad. The underwear, of course, was a goner. My jeans were also pretty well saturated all the way through, with most of the back half having changed from blue to a very unattractive shade of brown. Even my socks were spotted with drops of waste product. I realized I had a problem.

The rest area was crowded that evening, and I had no desire to display my predicament to the other patrons by walking back to the car sporting a pair of extremely soiled pants. I desperately needed a change of clothes, of which I had some packed in my suitcase in the trunk. But I had no easy way to get to them. Just like these were the days of the fifty-five mile-per-hour speed limit, these were also the days before cell phones. So I couldn't call my sister to tell her what had happened.

As I was cleaning myself up and trying to figure a way of this mess, the restroom door opened and I heard an older male voice. "Excuse me -- is there a Little Lord Fartleroy in here?"

"That," I said, "would be me."

"Well, there's a young lady waiting outside, and she wanted me to ask if you're okay."

"Excuse me, sir?" I said meekly, "Can you do me a favor? That's my sister out there. Can you ask her to get a clean pair of pants, socks and underwear, and then give them to you, and then you bring them in to me?"

He hesitated for a second. "Umm... okay. Be right back."

There were several other guys in the restroom, and it was obvious to anyone within earshot what had happened. I heard the wise-ass in the next stall snort audibly and emit a suppressed chuckle. I sighed heavily as I realized there was simply no way I was going to emerge from this experience with any semblance of dignity.

A couple of minutes later, the guy that I sent on my mission of mercy came back in. Without a word, he slid my clean clothes under the stall door. "Thanks," I said.

"No problem," he replied, and hurried back out the door.

I finished cleaning myself up and put on the stuff the guy had brought me. Then I wrapped my damaged clothing in toilet paper and left the stall. I washed my hands quickly, avoiding eye contact with anyone, and hurried out of the rest room. Jenny was waiting for me out by the car, trying without much success to suppress her laughter.

"I guess I should have driven a little faster, huh?" she asked.

"Just get me out of here, quick."

To this day, I can't drive by that rest area without thinking of that fateful night.

Nicely told, LLF - you have a very thoughtful sister. Though she may just have been thinking about what it would have been like driving the remaining 20 minutes with you sliding around in your shitten pants beside her.

If she hadn`t come you could always have worn a Gandhi type nappy of TP while you washed your trousers. That would really have made the guy in the next stall laugh.

Logjam (2291) -- 05.07.2008

I've had several near misses like this, but have not yet failed. It is one of the great paradoxes that, when in distress, the closer you get to the toilet, the more likely you are to loose it. So as I get within 20 feet of the toilet, I try to outwit my colon, sending it the message "We still have a long way to go, buddy. Hang in there." In particular, if I've got a shit cramp peaking, I will stop and let it subside rather than rush those final few steps.

Nice story.

This story was a load of bullshit. It reminds me of that Poop story from a few years back when the kid shit himself in a public bathroom at the airport and a stranger bought the kid new clothes and helped him clean up.

First off, how the hell can you remember all these little details from something that happened 23 years ago?

And secondly, if a stranger in a stall at a rest stop asked me to go get him some underwear I would ignore him and walk away.

and third, if I shit myself in a stall I would never involve a stranger for assistance, especially at a highway rest stop.

Logjam (2291) -- 05.07.2008

Honest to god, doniker -- you can't judge a story's veracity simply by applying the "would I do it" test. Example. Just because I would never ask my wife to examine my ugly butthole (I'd use a mirror and do it myself) doesn't mean that you didn't do it and therefore are a liar.

doniker (1493) -- 05.07.2008

I tried to use a mirror. But my fat gut prohibited me from being able to bend over far enough.

I guess this story could have happened as it was written; but I honestly believe it didn't happen in this manner.

Herbert (not verified) -- 05.07.2008

Doniker, you strike me as being needlessly cynical. Just because you would walk away if a stranger in distress asked you for help doesn't mean that everyone else is so mean-spirited. And as to asking a stranger for assistance, it doesn't sound like this guy had any other choice.

This story isn't wildly outlandish or implausible. I don't know why you label so many perfectly good stories as fakes.

MSG (365) -- 05.07.2008

LLF--think about the consequences had your sister been pulled over for speeding. I can see it now: "Excuse me, Officer, here's why we were speeding--" [quick trouser drop] SPLAT! Preferably not on the officer.

I want to know if she told Mom and Dad or any of the kids at school. If not, then that is a great sister.

doniker says, "I tried to use a mirror. But my fat gut prohibited me from being able to bend over far enough."
You left the best part out of the story! But it does suggest a product -- a 5 foot curved bar on one end of which is attached a bite bar, and the other an adjustable mirror. In the middle would be a second adjustable mirror. The patent description: "A fat person's rear-view system."

Little Lord Far... (24) -- 05.07.2008

daphne says, "I want to know if she told Mom and Dad or any of the kids at school. If not, then that is a great sister."

Actually, I did make her promise not to tell anyone, and she kept her word. But after enough time had passed and the embarassment wore off some, I told the story on my own. It was just too funny not to share.

The Thunderous ... (625) -- 05.07.2008

I like his name Little Lord Fartleroy! It sounds similar to other experiences but then again we ALL poop dont we so it would figure that some stories will run along the same vein. Lets be a kinder and gentler PR.

For doniker doubting the rememberence of the details of such an experience 23 years ago, when socially traumatic events like this occur, it's kind of an all or none experience. You either remember everything or you remember nothing as your brain chooses to block out said traumatic experience rather than process it continually. I remember every sordid detail of my 10-year-old public pants-shitting incident. The details of which will follow as soon as I have the time to commit to telling the entire bitter-sweet tale. Like the author of the story, I have chosen to remember, reflect and try to find the humor in the experience. That's kind of the whole point of this website as I gather...

Deja Poo (590) -- 05.07.2008

"...if a stranger in a stall at a rest stop asked me to go get him some underwear I would ignore him and walk away."

Another year without a Nobel prize nomination, eh, Doniker?

Father Hell (not verified) -- 05.07.2008

I had an experience similar to this one, in a limeted capacity...I was rushing to the restroom when I unfortunately dirtied my pants. After relieving myself of the 3" diameter log (and causing a resulting bad odor for a long time) I stayed in the stall and attempted to clean the shit from my Dickies pants. Well, as I was minding my own P's and Q's somebody tried to sneak up and look at me naked in the stall. I won't go into many further detail other to say that I 'corrected' him; I would dare say he wasn't in any shape to wipe his own rotten ass after I got done with him.

Logjam (2291) -- 05.07.2008

Interesting that Father Hell can't admit shitting himself without, in the same breath, informing us that he beat the shit out of someone. "There may be poop in my pants, boys, but my manhood is intact."

makaziwe biko (9) -- 05.07.2008

Oh you poor thing. Good thing she stopped. It kind of reminds me of the time I went on vacation with a friend and totally shit myself it was so bad my friend said he wanted to jump out of the car.

I would not ask for help either.

Good story, LLF.
I read Doniker's comments, and am imagining myself in the position of the guy whom your sister asked to check on you.
So, here I am, pulled up at a rest area, and some chick asks me to check on her brother, who has had a serious o-ring malfunction.
I would feel so sorry for the poor bugger that I would gladly help out.
Everybody needs a helping hand sometimes.

prarie doggin (1374) -- 05.08.2008

I can speak for the Jersey restrooms, and if those clothes were SLID under the door, then they were soiled worse than the ones he had on.

The Shit Volcano (3540) -- 05.09.2008

Ah, the eighties. Back when people were trusting, friendly, and thought of their fellow neighbor as something more than a terrorist. In this day and age, your sister would have never gotten out of the car for fear of being raped, and the man would have run away thinking you wanted to ass-rape him or plant a bomb in his head. I miss the days before the red scare... Oh, wait, that was the twenties. It's so hard to keep track of all of our "scares".

I don't belive this story is true..I doubt very much that you can remember word by word conversations and facial expressions from 22 years ago. Too much detail to be beliveable!

Still, okay story
