You get to work, drink a cup of coffee and start class. About 10-15 minutes in you get the evil rumblings from your abdomen and your stomach drops. You can feel your intestines cramping and you start to break out in a cold sweat.

Meanwhile you are trying your best to ignore it and act perfectly cool in front of 40 students.

You glance at the clock every 30 seconds waiting for the bell to ring so you can walk briskly to the bathroom without making it look like you are running.

Time slows to a crawl..... I'm sure its happened to you before.

Actually this reminds me of a story. A couple years ago one of my coteachers rushed off to the bathroom in the middle of class. He must've used the squat toilet because when he got back, he had "stains" on the back of his white shirt. Dress shirts tend to be long in the front and back, so I guess when he squatted, the back of the shirt hung down near his rear.

He just kept walking around the classroom, oblivious to the stains. I didn't say anything. I knew what it was, but my mind was like, "How do I tell a coworker he had *mod edit* stains on his shirt. I kept my mouth shut and pretended I didn't know. Save him some embarrassment. A sstudent must've told him something because after class he disappeared for 30 minutes and came back wearing a track suit.

It happened to me once. I told my class of 35 middle school girls that teacher was going to the bathroom and they were to study quietly until I returned. They understood. It's not entirely uncommon in the soju soaked world of public education.

I've been in this situation, but rather than wait it out I've just gone to the bathroom. If I have a co-teacher I just tell them what I'd like the class to do for the next 5 minutes and that I'll be right back. If I don't have a co-teacher I just have the students write sentences while I'm gone. It worked out fine.

Eat an apple, two bananas, two kiwis and some yoghurt with your morning coffee. You'll need the bathroom within a few short moments.

But what happens when you've already emptied your bowels but need a second shot? Slightly tricky. I would excuse myself from the class and see to business as quickly as possible. No-one will mind.

I use a bidet toilet so I can blast out any excess pooh with the water.

Well when I was teaching kindergarten, the kids would just poop in their pants when they had to sometimes, so why was I so mistaken in assuming that I could too?

Such ridiculous double standards we face in this society.

Since this thread is really the lowest of lows, I'm not afraid to mention that I once sharted in a nightclub. I was fortunate to find that there was actually TP available and a latch on the stall. Had to do a quick removal and toss of the undies.

It didn't matter what song played that night, I just had Tom Petty over in my head "Well I'm free~ free ballin'!"

Hopefully you don't have squatters at your job.
