The Family Shame

Posted 10.12.2006 by love2poo (20)
This is a coming-of-age story about a naïve young girl who assumes that shitting your pants happens to other people, but not her. Yes, her is me, and I am finally coming forward with my Shameful past. I have been reading PoopReport for a few months now, and I have to say that I have been a little intimidated to post my own. I am not a master of words as some people here. I cannot write so eloquently about my poop as other PoopReporters do. With that said, I hope you still keep an open mind as you continue reading.

I am definitely a Shameless Shitter. I will drop trou anywhere -- public bathroom, boyfriend's parents' house, porta-potty, you name it and I'll shit there. The strange thing is that when I was five, I would only go in my toilet at home. Sometimes that meant pissing myself (I've always been a morning shitter, so luckily I could do that before school) on the walk home from school. And when I say "sometimes," I mean most of the time. Once I got over that fear of other toilets, I was blessed with the ability to go anywhere.

But though I am a Shameless Shitter and proud of it, I am not proud of myself when I crap my pants.

It was the summer of 1993. I had just turned eleven and I was at Indiana Beach with my aunts and cousins. I would go every summer with them, and this was the third year there. The last day of the trip arrived, and I woke up at about eight AM. I lay in bed for a little while because my stomach didn't feel right. It didn't hurt; it just didn't feel right. I figured that maybe if I went and tried to squeeze a log out that I would feel better.

I threw the covers off the bed that I was sharing with my cousin. Wearing only a t-shirt and pair of underwear, I started walking to the bathroom (which was not far; we were in a hotel and it is definitely not a hike or anything to get to the bathroom). As I walked, I coughed. Mistake number one. I coughed and shit spurted out of my ass.

But I kept walking like nothing ever happened. I got to the bathroom, shut the door, and began to freak out. My immature eleven-year-old brain could not comprehend what had happened. I had shit all over my underwear, and if my cousin found out she would use it as ammunition against me. I had to think quick.

Well, as it turned out, I had plenty of time to figure out what to do. My ass began exploding and it was as if my asshole had a mind of its own. I sat in the bathroom for about thirty minutes, shitting my innards out. When it was all said and done, I still had a shitty pair of underwear and a stanky bathroom to have to deal with.

Here was what I came up with. The bathroom had one of those baggies for dirty clothes that I wrapped the defiled underwear in. I then decided to throw the underwear outside in the public garbage can by the stairs. Mistake number two. In order to make it to the outside garbage can, I had to do the walk of shame through the hotel room and face my family.

I wrapped a towel around my waist and, with my head held as high as it could go after that experience, I walked through the hotel room with my baggie of crappy Underroos, mumbling an excuse about forgetting something at the pool. I then placed them in the outside garbage can.

I got back in the hotel room and was immediately greeted by the stench of my ass emissions. I think my family was plotting against me, because once I got back in the room all talking stopped and all eyes fell on me. I blamed it on the chilidogs the night before. There were no excuses, though. My ass had stunk up the whole room. But I was okay with them knowing I took a major shit and stunk up the room. I just didn't want them to know I had shit myself.

A few hours went by and checkout time arrived. We left the room and started walking to the front desk. On the way, we had to pass the garbage can that I had thrown the evidence in. Now, keep in mind: we are in Indiana in the middle of August. It is hot. It is humid. Flies love hot, humid, and shitty underwear. We walked by the garbage can, and it was buzzing with flies. A good hundred or two. Not only were there flies, but there was the aroma that hit us like a ton of bricks: my chocolate highway pollution.

I could see my family gagging for oxygen as we walked past, and I could see them start putting the pieces together about why the garbage can smelled like ass. Nobody came out and said I shit myself and threw the underwear in the garbage can, but they all accused me with their eyes.

I was mortified. At age eleven, I couldn't deal with the embarrassment. If it happened to me now I don't think it would be a big deal; but back then I couldn't get over the fact that I was eleven and had shit myself like a little baby. And that my family now knew my secret. Unfortunately for me, no one in my family thinks pooping and farting is as funny as I do, and at that tender young age they made me feel bad about it. For that I will never forgive.

But thirteen years later, I still think pooping and farting is funny, and I would never make my daughter feel bad for shitting herself. She is now five, and she thinks pooping is awesome. Many a time a turd torpedo has been proudly shown to Mommy, and I know one day I will be able to tell my daughter about the time Mommy shat herself. And I'm sure one day she will have her own poop report to share with the world that will make Mommy proud.

Very nicely done...welcome to the family, and when they get done (as I have every confidence in Dave to make it happen) I want you to get and display "The 12 Steps of Shameless Shitting" in your daughter's room. It will help her avoid the traume you went through.

Rectal Badger (104) -- 10.12.2006

Great story! It reminds me of a time when I was about eight and my family went on a picnic to a state park and I dropped a log in my shorts while my sister and I were playing on the playground. My mom berated me for hours for that one. So I sympathize with the family who doesn't understand. My family also does not think poops and farts are funny and I do. People like our families are what causes Shameful Shitting.

DungDaddy (1386) -- 10.12.2006

Very good first story, and very good job handling the emergency.

Lincoln's Log (not verified) -- 10.12.2006

Very nice story.You write well.You may not use metaphors like some of the great poop reporters but your grammar and spelling are good and you will get better as you gain experience.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 10.12.2006

I think your writing is fine, love2poo. Funny story of the workings of eleven-year-old logic. I am very glad that you don't act all stupid and weird toward your daughter about poo. This is one step closer to equality!

Great firest story L2P.

That was some pretty fancy thinking (and stinking)for an eleven year old. Well done.

runninggrrl2 (170) -- 10.12.2006

Great story! Too bad family members are never understanding about stuff like that. My mom has IBS and passed it down to me, so we're more open/understanding about having to crap at THE weirdest times/places. My sister and I are both shameless and have been ever since we were kids. We used to have pooping contests in public bathrooms to see who could make the biggest poo. Elderly women always gave us dirty looks when we did that, which is exactly why we did it.

L2P, don't say mom didn't give you anything, lol.

I too have IBS, it is no picnic, and can really screw up my day when I have an attack.I guess I am somewhat blessed to have the constipation predominant IBS.

Take a look at an IBS remedy called Digestrol. It works wonders for me.

love2poo (20) -- 10.12.2006

The worst thing about this is that I don't have IBS....I just shit myself. There are no gastrointestinal diseases for me to blame this on.

love2poo (20) -- 10.12.2006

Although from what I hear IBS is horrible and my heart goes out to anyone with it.

Nine Inch Log (358) -- 10.12.2006

In my opinion every one needs to shit themselves every once in a while. It puts us all on the same level, and it makes for great entertainment.

Boopoo (44) -- 10.12.2006

That's a funny story and well constructed. It's entertaining poop trauma that goes from bad to worse, and I especially like how it wraps up with everyboy "putting the pieces together" as they pass by the smelly trashcan.

Boopoo (44) -- 10.12.2006

Doesn't look like comments can be edited after posting. "Everyboy" in my last one is a typo. Should be "everybody."

SamDamnit (1192) -- 10.12.2006

This story sucked. Don't quit your day job!...........

Just kidding.

I am just puzzled to not see any venom in the comments. Where are Evelyn and Donkeybreath? Is 10-12 some sort of holiday for jerks?

SamDamnit!, I am glad they haven't gotten to this story yet.

love2poo, this is a great one. I could feel your guilt. This reminds me of a time when I crapped myself and tried to hide the evidence. Also, yout style of writing is really awesome. Keep it up!

And we Shameless Shitters are glad to have you with us. I bet now you wonder why you were ever Shameful in the first place!

SD, enjoy the venom free thread while it lasts, I'm sure it won't.

L2P, I am a bit confused now. you said that your mom has IBS, and passed it on to you (comment #7).

Could you clarify this?

Welcome to Poopreport, L2P. I found that one funny. Dude, I cussed out Doniker yesterday, so that might be why he didn't drop the put-down bomb. Who knows, but I really went hard on him. Bring us more, please

Welcome! That is some funny shit! I'm glad you are not teaching your daughter to be all uptight and embarassed about poop. Our 2 year old son isn't ashamed of pooping at all. In fact the other day he made up his own words to the song "Rock n Roll Hoochie Koo" - he sang "Rock and Roll Poopie Poop"! Hilarious!

I agree with the concensus - well done, L2P! A good piece of writing is far more than eloquence or style - it must make the readers feel what the author felt. From that perspective I'd say you have succeeded.

C Everett Poop (647) -- 10.13.2006

Somebody is screwing around with me. My comment was the first one yesterday and I said I liked the story. I think the editors are deleting my positive comments to make me into a dilwad like Doniker.

SamDamnit (1192) -- 10.13.2006

Nice try, Evelyn. Is dis-information your way of regaining credibility? You must have learned that trick from your hero in the white house. The next time you make some racist, homophobic or sexist comment; you should try this line.

"I do not recall that particular incident"

It seems to be working for the current speaker of the house..........NOT!

Bunga Din (1239) -- 10.13.2006

Great first story Love2poo, I spent many a summer cramped in hotel rooms with my family and know how nerves can get frayed. Any excuse to jump on a sibling or relative for a doodiuos affair will be promptly taken and usually doesn't end until tears are shed and accusations launched...at least that's what I did to my sister. Welcome to the club!

Double Flush (600) -- 10.13.2006

Bunga, you just explained why I avoid family vacations. I hate being cramped together with them all the time. I need my space!

I hope this made some Shameless Shitters out of at least some of you.

CEP, I was not the culprit if this did happen to your first comment, just so you know.

This is a cute story, and I'm glad that no one in the family pointed out the large, brown, smelly elephant in the room. Sometimes it's better to just let things lie.

Enjoyed your first story :)

PoopReport Sucks (19) -- 10.14.2006

But though I am a Shameless Shitter and proud of it, I am not proud of myself when I crap my pants.

This is one of the funniest comments that I have read on Poop Report, it smacked me right in the funnybone.

ExplosiveShitMatrix (22) -- 10.14.2006

Good Story...And good try at covering up your business, even though that wasn't possible :))...I see doniker finally gave up with his rude obscene criticizing comments about the marred content of ones story, that isn't really there.

Its funny because some of my football (soccer) team still shit themselves and they're 23 year old. They are always doing it. There are 3 of them who have done it about 1-3 times each.

daphne (3599) -- 10.15.2006

Northy, I'm dying to make a soccer player joke, but it just wouldn't be sporting! Some of your futball players have laid a little accidental brown pipe....some of our football players get involved with drive by murders at dance clubs.

I think I'll take the ones who violate their shorts......

You poor kid! Sharing a hotel room with other people is always a challenge when it comes to bodily functions.

Good story!

Fudgepump (366) -- 10.17.2006

Nicely written, L2P. I smiled at the image of your five-year-old wanting to show you some of her finer work: that's a great reminder for all of us that Shameful Shitters are MADE, not BORN, to be shameful.
After a recent incident involving a large diameter loaf (I'm talking over 3 inches here), I introduced my granddaughter to the art of log splitting. Luckily, no flooding was involved, but now she understands that 'tis better to divide and conquer than to flush and run.

i fling poo (26) -- 11.29.2006

Great first post! You are more eloquent than you give yourself credit for. I am 33, and I still think farts and poop are funny. I'm sure I'll still feel the same way when I'm 60.
