If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your day or is your day over?

[spacenoodle@lemmy.world]

First thing in the morning in college? Clean everything up, start over, get on with the rest of the day after missing half of the first class.

During the day at work? Day's over, go home.

I'm kind of surprised by how many people have an answer for this already considered. I don't think this is something I've had to consider since primary school.

I'd probably consider the day over just because I would be worried by whatever medical condition led me to shit my pants out of nowhere.

I double down and ask friends to swap pants with me.

Day's over. I work in food service, and any symptoms of a GI illness are cause for a sick day as a matter of public safety.

Just depends on reactions. If no one says anything I just go with it. If 5+ people say something I fix it. If 1-5 people say something they're probably outliers.

You shat yourself at graduation?

[wahots@pawb.social]

If it's before noon, it's salvageable. If it's afternoon, probably not. It also depends on how much. If it was a very minor shart (1ml), that's a bit different than actually shitting your pants, imo.

If it's the latter, it may be time to see a doctor.

After, thankfully, but I was with several fellow graduates when it happened. There was an extremely popular steakhouse we all went to with our families, and every one of us who ordered the signature steak ended up getting food poisoning, and several of us ended up getting caught very suddenly by it.

As someone with Crohn's disease, this is a normal day. Honestly, I'd be feeling off until I shit my pants.

If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your week or is your week over?

If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your month or is your month over?

If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your life or is your life over?

I clean up and do whatever I still feel like. The arbitrary border of "day" means nothing to me, same as any other arbitrary border.

[etchinghillside@reddthat.com]

Shit happens.

[wuphysics87@lemmy.ml]

I keep a spare change of clothes in my office for exactly this reason

[son_named_bort@lemmy.world]

The rest of the day is going to stink regardless.

[scubus@sh.itjust.works]

I shit my pants once. I got rid of my ass after that

[morgan_423@lemmy.world]

I've noped out on entire office days before where I've been "digestively energetic" so to speak. I'm not putting myself or coworkers through that at the office.

[jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml]

I mean if you have any choice in the matter it's obviously time to go home.

[jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml]

Yeh I think the phrase "shit your pants" definitely implies like the same account of piop that you would have dumped in the toilet in a deliberate manner, except in your pants and most likely accidentally.

[ultragigagigantic@lemmy.ml]

Day over? But we still need to solve the mystery of who shit in my pants!
