Is it normal to blame your period when you shit your pants?
Long story short, I shit my pants a bit at work and right when it happened I was needed for something important. I had to clean myself up so I lied and said I got my period and had to take care of it right away. It was embarrassing because 1. That was the only excuse I could think of 2. I was forced to say it in front of everyone. I had to tie my underwear up in a bag and hide them for the rest of the day too and I was very worried someone might find them or that the smell might leak out.
I keep thinking about this situation and what I could've done differently so it wasn't so embarrassing. What would you do in the same scenario?
