      If it's any comfort, my "acclimating to GLP-1 agonist and metformin" self-shitting happened on a date (well, directly after a date, while I was driving home [mercifully on my own]), about 80% of which I spent feeling sick and looking sweaty and weird. It only happened the one time, though, so with any luck you'll acclimate and be fine.

    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

      i shidded a little on my third date w/ my most recent past lover, we were drinking outside and went back to my place and i had to piss like nobodies bizness and the force of the stream pushed out just a lil guy. luckily i was able to clench my cheeks and bidet that little sucker off, no contact with my undies, truly a blessed and cursed turn of events.

    I worked next to a guy who shit his pants at work and the only outcome was he got to go home early. I wouldn’t worry about it.

        Haha nobody wanted to follow his lead. I remember he had started a higher fiber diet before this happened. If anything this incident probably discouraged people from making healthier eating decisions.

        When you get out of work due to shitting yourself, it's called "the brown note".

    One time I ate an entire box of frosted mini wheats before my shift baking bagels. Turns out that fiber is not a myth after all.

      lmao for real in this thread we should all admit to ourselves and everyone how we have all sharted at least once in our working lives. I think it will unironically build solidarity for comrades with IBS. It's more common than most people know.

    According to The Rules, if you aren't fired first thing tomorrow, that means you've scared them. You are in the power position.

    I don't think I've ever actually shit myself as an adult but I will stand in solidarity with my doodoo-assed comrades

    Civil servants have to shit their pants at least twice daily to comply with new austerity measures. You'll need to improve performance.
