She Said No

Posted 09.20.2005 by Timbob (10)
I had a paper route when I was about fifteen or so. Thirty years later, I'm still trying to forget it. But there was one time—one priceless moment—that I will cherish until my dying day.

It was a day like any other day. It was a day like no other day. Some of us overcome, and some of us just succumb.

My paper route, in its furthest reaches, led me about a half-mile from my parents' house. My best friend lived nearby, and one day he came along with me as I was making the rounds collecting for the papers that I had delivered throughout the week. We eventually made our way to the part of the route furthest from our houses. I swear it was the absolute furthest. I can still remember it to this day: XXX Valerie Road, a farmhouse, about fifty yards from the road.

My friend began to complain about a need to go to the restroom. I told him that if he could hold it, we'd be finished in about twenty minutes. We went up to the farmhouse, I made my collection, and we left.

We made our way down the dirt driveway and back out to the main road, where he began complaining a bit more as we crossed Valerie to Bradwood Drive. I asked him again if he could just hold on. I was sure it couldn't be that bad. (It would still be another year before a similar fate would try to overcome me while on a cross-country training run. I persevered, but only at the cost of GREAT pain, and made it with only milliseconds to spare before I got my pants halfway down my legs prior to eruption.)

I digress.

I told him, in all (my) confidence, that everything would be okay. We'd be finishing up soon.

As we made our way across the lawn to the house next door, my friend went into "urgent mode." We've all been there. I told him, "OK, look, I'm gonna go across the street and sit down behind the bushes over at the elementary school. You can go ask back at the place where we just were. Just wait until I disappear."

He said okay, and I ran across the street and took up my position.

He went up to the door. I could see him clenching his butt muscles from about seventy-five yards away, doing that little jig that we've all done at one time or another. I watched him ring the bell. Without waiting much longer than American protocol demands for ringing the doorbell in any circumstance other than an emergency, he rang it again.

The woman answered the door.

I can just imagine the exchange. "Ummmmm... hi..." -- little bit of a wiggle, with knees knocking -- "I was just here with Tim, and I really gotta poo. Can I use your restroom?"

I could see the lady shaking her head no. I could see my friend kinda get that hunched back and clenched butt that comes on automatically when our whole universe centers around our sphincter and we struggle desperately to try to prevent the end of the world from coming.

He looked across the street at me. From where I was, it looked like he was saying something like, "I'm not gonna make it, my friend. Please, let my mother know that I love her."

He shrugged his shoulders and went on. He kinda got this one-leg hobble thing going on as he crossed the lady's yard and driveway. It turned into a trot, and then almost a full-blown run, as he got to the center of the next-door neighbor's yard.

He stopped.

He stopped for what seemed like a minute, although I'm sure that it wasn't more than a second or two. I'm not sure, but I think Einstein was right when he said time is a relative thing. It slows way down when oxygen is cut off to the brain because you're laughing too hard.

He took a step forward. He looked my way and just stood there for another moment. And that would have been fine. But then, he shook his leg. I swear to you on a stack of Bibles, he shook his leg. At this point, I was just about ready to wet my pants.

And then, like a dejected... well, like a guy who had just lost his best... well, you know what I'm talking about. It was all just terrible... terribly funny.

I cannot tell you the pain that this story has brought to me over the years. The tears it's brought. The first time I told it was to my mom when I got home that day. I could barely finish the story. And now, my fiancée thinks something is terribly wrong with me for laughing like I do when I tell this story.

My friend had about a 3/4-mile walk home ahead of him. Before he left, he told me that it was already running down his leg. Later, he told me that he lost a pair of socks and shoes to this tragic incident.

Excellant story!!! I luahghed so much, only because I related so well!!!

Logjam (2460) -- 09.20.2005

I love this story, and how you told it. It works much like a Hitchcock thriller, focusing on the more subtle features (the look at you across the street, the shaking of the leg), trusting that we know the gory details and don't need them spelled out. (You might want to reconsider the fiancee, though.)

Pill Pooper (451) -- 09.20.2005

That sucks. Walking home with a load in your pants has to be one of the most horrible shituations for anyone.

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 09.20.2005

Couldn't he go into the elementary school? Or behind the bushes by the elementary school? Poor kid.
The lady would have probably let him use the bathroom if he hadn't said he needed to poop. Think about it. If someone knocked on your door and asked if he could pinch a stink loaf in your house, would you let them?

The Great TP monster (not verified) -- 09.20.2005

I would have crapped right on the ladies porch after she shut the door.

let that old bag have a taste.

wonderpance (602) -- 09.20.2005

i don't think the kid actually told the lady he had to poop. remember, the author was just imagining the conversation, he didn't actually hear it. he probably just asked if he could use her restroom, and she assumed he had to poop because if he had to pee, he could do it anywhere. if she even thought about it, maybe she just didn't want a stranger in her house.

you know, i don't know if i'd let someone in my house to use the toilet. i'd like to say i would, but i would also have a problem with letting a stranger in my house. all the crazies ruin it for everyone else!

Tutle Head 1 (not verified) -- 09.20.2005

Haha I would have pulled down my pants and let it go on the bitch woman's lawn.

Good story though!

Coach Crap (not verified) -- 09.20.2005

I think a poet once said it is better to have one log in the bush then 2 logs in your pants.I remember a time when I was a kid my buddy had 3 choices.He could try to run home and probably shit in his pants.He could go in the alley behind the bar and probably get caught or go in the bushes behind the fire house.He crapped in the bushes.The kid should have made in the bushes and wiped his ass with one of his buddy's papers or shit in a paper and left it on the porch.The news is shitty most of the time.

daphne (3695) -- 09.20.2005

If a young man had the nerve to ask me to use my restroom, and he had been with our regular paperboy, I most certainly would have let him in the house.

Then again, anyone with the guts to ask at my house with the Gator barking behind me would have certainly had to poop bad enough for me to help.

I only wish he would have shaken the crap out on the "no lady's" yard.

Again, a great story! So far, this has been a good week for stories. Keep'm coming......hugging bunnies since 1969

Stinky Pete (6) -- 09.20.2005

NUTS! I though this was gonna be a revenge story! " teach YOU to say no...(grumble grumble grumble)" Oh well, it was good anyway! Man, have I been there before!

daphne (3695) -- 09.20.2005

I realize, after reading my comment that many people not only don't have protection dogs, but many people are afraid and alone. I didn't mean to sound opinionated.
Then again, if it's the friend of the kid who delivers your mail? You know, we're all going to get older. I fear becoming that afraid of people. Sorry if this is morbid.
It really was a funny story......hugging bunnies since 1969

oh wammy

Shit monster (85) -- 09.20.2005

That was funny as hell, i understand the laughter you went through while the whole thing happened.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 09.21.2005

Ha ha ha!!! Poor kid! I have not had this happen to me, but saw a friend of mine do something similar. He didn't have anything to shake down his leg though. The kid said the smear in his shorts was chocolate.

BTW, Coach Crap. "It's better to have 1 log in the bush than 2 logs in your pants." Hilarious! You made my day!

wonderpance (602) -- 09.21.2005

daphne, you make a good point. if the kid was just at my house with my paperboy, and assuming i knew the paperboy wasn't some kind of hooligan, i probably would let him in.

i was thinking more about what i'd do if a complete stranger i'd never seen before asked. then again, even if it was someone i'd met (like this creepy guy who lives across the street from me that stopped by my house not too long ago and kept staring at me) i still might not let them in if i get a weird vibe from them.

i also don't want to be that afraid of people. but maybe if there weren't so many people who do bad things, i wouldn't be!

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 09.21.2005

Two good points have been brought up.
1st- Most people wouldn't let a stranger into their home to use the bathroom, or at all.
I have to go back on what I said earlier and agree with this. It doesn't matter if it's #1 or #2 if I don't know you.

2nd- Timmy was the woman's paperboy, and, having been there moments before with him, the woman should have let Timmy's friend in.
Maybe the woman didn't know Timmy very well, and didn't feel comfortable letting him or his friends use her bathroom. She is justified in refusing, I think, but he should have still gone to the School or behind the bushes in the first place...

Bilgepump (1751) -- 09.21.2005

Perhaps the woman was encouraging our hero to use the lawn, and all the TP still hanging from the bushes and trees from last Hallowee'en?

daphne (3695) -- 09.21.2005

I'm going to have a big mastiffy dog every day of my life. I don't want to be afraid when I get old and crotchety. I just want to be old and crochety......hugging bunnies since 1969

Bilgepump (1751) -- 09.21.2005

You mean you aren't there already, Daph?

In The Bushes (111) -- 09.21.2005

This is why even though I am often running in a neighborhood full of houses when the unstoppable urge hits, I never stop and ask them if I may come in and use their toilet. I know they would say no. I just poo in their yard instead! (OK, I'm kidding, I don't poo in their yard. I look for a port-a-potty, or use a field if I'm out in the country.)

daphne (3695) -- 09.22.2005

Bilgepump, don't make me smack you with my cane and then lob my bottle of Geritol at your head with my arthritic elbow cracking like a bag of broken crackers.
Damn kids.....;).....hugging bunnies since 1969

Di Uhreea (410) -- 09.22.2005

I don't think you're crazy for thinking this is still funny, Timbob. I wrote a story about "My Best Friend's Pudding" which has similar events. Well, similar in that we were both laughing at our friends running down the road with crap in their pants. How many people have you told this story to? I told her "Shitty Day" story to her husband a few days after they first met!

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 09.22.2005

Daphne, you poor dear. Doesn't it hurt to hug bunnies with your arthritic elbow?

wonderpance (602) -- 09.22.2005

you know, ms. bushes just made me think of a point i forgot to bring up earlier. i'd be far more likely to let a woman i've never met into my house, than a strange man. in fact, i probably wouldn't even think twice about it. unless she was clearly unhinged or something.

In The Bushes (111) -- 09.22.2005

Today, in honor of this story, I almost walked right into a private Catholic High School to see whether anyone would stop me if I said I had to poo. I lost my nerve, though. Maybe next time.

Fart Poopie (1257) -- 09.22.2005

These days, In the Bushes, it's harder to go into a school, even if it's just to use the bathroom. If you were to walk into any of the schools here, you would have to go to the administration office, explain your situation, and hope they give you a temp. visitor ID badge AND have someone escort you to the bathroom. They usually just escort you OUT of the building unless there's a bathroom in or next to the office, though.
They've tightened security quite a bit here the past couple of years. It's just as well. At least my kids are that much safer.

This poopreport happened years ago, though. So, unless it was summer, there's no reason why this kid couldn't have tried the school.

jim jam (not verified) -- 09.22.2005

one time i pooped my pants at school, I was 11 and i didnt have the nerve to tell the teacher. so i ended up getting yelled at for having bad hygiene. feces 4eva

Little Piece of Poo (not verified) -- 09.22.2005

That was funny! Although I can't write like a million words on it like other people can, I can say "Poor guy." It's funny because I've heard stories like that about my friend's grandparents and things like that but I haven't heard stories like that out of school, so it's good it's not just me and my friends who talk about wierd things like this. Thanks for telling the story!
~Little Piece of Poo~

runninggrrl (not verified) -- 09.22.2005

Wow, that sucks. I really feel bad for the kid. And if I were him, I definitely would've gone on the grass. Who says no to a kid who's gotta use the bathroom? I've let drunken football fans use the restroom at my house plenty of times because I'm compassionate that way (and I screen them, too...I only let the ones in that weren't too drunk and weren't weird looking)

toilet muck (20) -- 09.23.2005

one time my brother pooped himself in preschool because the teacher wouldnt let him go.He came home with a plastic bag full of pants undies and shit.

daphne (3695) -- 09.23.2005

Yes, it does. I'm glad bunnies are soft so I don't have to hug hard.

Toilet Tuck, you couldn't believe how many people have come to this website telling us a story like that. I made up my mind years ago if someone did that to one of my kids, then there would be some serious turd terrorism.

We at poopreport neither condone or endorse turd terrorism......hugging bunnies since 1969

toilet muck (20) -- 09.23.2005

toilet MUCK, thank you very much.

MontrealMan (1) -- 09.25.2005

...uhm...Hi you don't know me... but can I forcibly squirt my hot shitloaf somewhere in your house?

no? why not?

guffaw...priceless...

IT WASNT ME (21) -- 10.05.2005

oh man thats funny as hell. i feel bad for him but them again if it were me i would not have let him use the bathroom !

Ben (45) -- 10.05.2005

I have always lived in an apartment. When workmen come to fix things and ask to use the bathroom, I always let them. I may not be so agreeable if I were to live in a house and a stranger comes knocking. Then again, if I have seen the guy before with someone I know, I would certainly let him. Don't forget we have all been in the situation of great emergency when we beg to use a restaurant toilet without haven eaten there!

Flapping Colon (27) -- 10.12.2005

I don't know if I would have let someone in to stink up my bathroom either, but I don't quite feel bad for him either. If I were him, I would have taken a nice steamy squat on her porch.

The Shit Volcano (3740) -- 10.21.2005

That's why it's nice to have two bathrooms. One for your use and one for visitors.

L Wrong Hubbard (216) -- 10.23.2005

The other option would have been to let him do his duty, wipe with a newspaper and then deliver it the customer you liked least.

Happy trails,

good story, well written
*Elphaba))

La Petomaine (85) -- 11.20.2005

Perhaps she simply didn't understand the severity of the situation. Few of us are shameless enough to admit we're about to crap our pants!
My brother once pushed me into a mud puddle the size of a pond and I had to walk home with the mud drying on me. Imagine the feeling of walking home with diarrhea running down your legs and squishing between your cheeks. Poor dude!
Have a crappy day!
La Petomaine

The Dumpster (2506) -- 02.10.2006

I can't imagine having the nerve to walk up to someone's front door and ask if I could use their bathroom. Tim's friend was obviously in distress for awhile leading up to this, so why didn't he find some bushes back of the elementary school, or even head back home as soon as the urge first started?

That being said, the genius of this story is how it is written. So many of us cruder narrators go for the grunt-by-grunt description that literally shoves the reader's face in the pot (not that that's not funnyashell sometimes). Timbob, on the other hand, employs the minimalist approach. As Logjam noted, "It works much like a Hitchcock thriller, focusing on the more subtle features (the look at you across the street, the shaking of the leg), trusting that we know the gory details and don't need them spelled out." This is actually the way I like to read about sex--the more that is left to the imagination, the more fun it is for me as the reader.

It is a shame that Timbob was evidently a "one-shit wonder." I liked his style and would enjoy more of the same.

Hamster (581) -- 08.31.2007

I agree Dumpster. I too like the style - an absence of the hyperbole and over-dramatisation that characterises some stories we see.
