    I've had some intestinal issues in the past comrade and I can tell you for certain that while most people will never admit to it most of us have probably shit ourselves a little bit at least once.

    I feel absolutely no shame about this and we should normalize being able to talk about the fact we have all thrown away at least one pair of underwear at work.

    Remember the rule, "never trust a fart" especially if there is any doubt at all, will save you emberassment if you play it safe and just take a bathroom break. Worst case you can say you just had to pee, best case you save yourself an unfortunate incident.

      100%. Also it's a good idea to keep a change of clothes in your trunk or bag just in case. I remember I had an observation with a prof while student teaching, and I split the seat of my parents in first period. I had to drive home and back during 2nd just to barely make it in time for my 3rd hour observation. Now I keep a spare pair of pants with me.

      I hadn't ever split my pants seat before, and it also hasn't happened since
