A little too much information

[stella9]

Today I was checking out at the Vitamin Shoppe and in the line next to me was a very well dressed, attractive,middle-aged woman. Out of the blue, she asks if they have a bathroom at the store and the cashier replied "yes" and offered it to the customer. I guess that was not enough...........................


The woman/customer proceeded to tell the cashier, and anyone within a one mile radius of the store, that she had D*** all day and had to get to the bathroom before she "busted." She was going to try and make it home, butshe didn't think she could and doubted thatshe could even make it to the store bathroom in time to not "make in my pants." From this conversation I thought we were going to witness a real life kaki-fest. Ironically, I noticed she was not making any attempt to rush to the bathroom that she claimed to urgently need. However, despite her urgency for having to kaki, she continued with the most eleaborate details of her malady. She said she thought she ate something or had a bug yada, yada, yada.. She described her bowel movements, giving all the details (like we needed that). I could not wait to check-out. I even told the salesperson not to bother with a bag. My daughter and I bolted out of the store like stelth bombers. Any reason why we had to listen to this crap (no pun intended)? She should have stopped with asking to go to the bathroom. As I pulled out of the parking lot, I peeked into the store and noticed she was still chatting away. Goodness only knows what else there left to tell, because she covered enough of the bases while I was still in line.

hi stella9
I just don't get people like that! I mean, as if you would really want
to broadcast the fact that you had something like that! If it was me -
I would be absolutely mortified and would do my utmost to keep a
low profile.... mind you, if she had had d* all day, what on earth was
she doing out shopping? Its beyond belief. One things for sure, she
certainly wasn't an emet!!

By the way, I'm a newbie, and I'm just discovering the wonders of
this site [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img] Looks like I'm gonna be spending alot more time with
my nose in my laptop - what a sad life we lead! [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

Stella, I would have run out of there so fast. I must admit that I was laughing while reading your post, but I would have been a mess if she had said it in front of me. Anyway, I agree with why do fools tell strangers so much about their waste??? Seriously, who really cares? Why not just use the restroom and go about your day? Maybe we as EMETS are very sensitive to all of this, but I always get a bit nervous when someone asks for a bathroom anyway, let alone, bragging about their D*. I wish she had pooped in her pants...serves her right for telling everyone and not getting to the bathroom faster. LOL


Sorry you went through that, but congrats of being able to continue your buying.

[samara's on tv]

There was absolutely no reason for that. Like Pretty Polly said, if you were having that kind of problem why would you be out shopping..and why would you tell EVERYONE about your D* problems? I know if it was me I would have just stayed home and barring that I wouldn't have announced to the whole world that I was having D*. People are weird!

you know, maybe she just thought it was funny. I do agree thou, a time and place for everything, and a crowded line up is not the place.


I know that when my boyfriend gets the runs, after he feels better, it's just about the funniest thing in the world for the next few days. In fact, all bathroom related issues are funny to him. I must admit, since Ive been with him, I've learned to lighten up about all that stuff.


but still, telling total strangers is just rude.

[tayda]

Stuff like that can be funny when you're with close friends, but having d* in ANY public bathroom is probably about one the most mortifying things to me. I had to do it once (sorry for the info), and I tried to make sure no one was around, and do the courtesy flushes.. etc.. I was SO embarrassed. I mean I guess it's cool to be so comfortable w/ your body's functions, but ewww!!!

[shiva]

LOL! Oh my god, where do these people come from??? WTF??? I could not for the life of me imagine telling the checkout person about my bowel movements

[jesskali]

Sounds like she is one of those people who have no shame whatsoever!

Stella, I laughed my ass off at your post. All your descriptions cracked me up. People tend to bend the truth alot, and want attention, and that is what it sounded like to me.

[bexcelica]

I find that really odd. Who would say that kind of thing to complete
strangers... That is a semi-private issue. Weirdos........

[spilled_milk]

I'm sorry to say, but that post was funny! just the way she described it, and the fact that a lady would just stand there talking about her bodily functions...lol!


but i HATE when you're in that situation! You just want them to stop talking and move along. Sometimes people are so weird like that!

Oh gosh that sounds so annoying. I would be annoyed too. I dont understand some people. I can't even go to the bathroom with people outside my bathroom, why talk about it?? Ah your post was funny how you wrote it not the fact that it actually happened.

[2jo2]

Ok, so either she is a total attention hound and exaggerating, or... I don't know, but that's definately bizarre. Yuck.

[stella9]

Hi Guys,


I have read alot of your responses and am glad that no one here thinks what this woman did was normal. I made a point to look at the cashier's face while the D*** woman was in the middle of her dissertation and it was like "WTF is this about?" What I did not mention in my original postis that another salesperson got wind of the bizarre conversation, came over and checked me out quickly. He looked at me as to say "This woman is certifiable."


For someone who needed a bathroom so desparately, she was really quite chatty. She did not seem happy and at first I truly felt sad for her. Then I thought why on earth would someone shop with D***? Then when she broke into her dog and pony show about her D***, I was like yuck. My eight year daughter asked my why that woman kept talking about her kaki. Even at her young age, discussing bodily functions is not an open forum discussion amongst strangers.

Even if I wasn't an emet, I would think that SO inappropriate. Since when as we as a society think it's ok to discuss "kaki" in public? I am having a time with my 7 yr old trying to tone down the bathroom humor. We wonder why our kids act how/say what they do.


But I do have to say your very articulate post had me CRACKING UP. You should take up writing!

[missy77]

eewwww! that is gross. i have never had somone talk about their "kaki"in front of me. i hope that it never happens to me. i'm soooooooo sorry that it happend to you. i would have ran out of the store. you are very strong to stay and pay for your stuff.

[ontariogirl]

That is plain disgusting, who in the hec would want to listen to a person horror story about poop? Not me. That grosses me out!

[madisonsmom]

Gross.


I guess she was a lonely woman that felt the need to discuss her bowels to anyone who would listen.

[gubba]

Maybe she has nothing else to talk about!! LOL if she did it for attention, she is certifiable for that too since she is getting the wrong attention. Oddly enough, she sounds a lot like a child. My son loves talking about poop. maybe she needs to get a kid to chat with and leave adults alone.

[japa]

She might have been mentally ill.
