What do you hate most about having diarrhea?

Let's say you have a bout of diarrhea. For the sake of having a reasonable poll, we will assume the cause of the diarrhea is NOT a concern, nothing's seriously wrong with you. You just simply have some irritation that will go away in a day or two. You're not sick in any other way either, you ONLY have the runs.

What do you think sucks most about having the shits?

Do you have a good diarrhea story to share?

The cramps! 228
Shitting my pants by accident! 67
My asshole stings like fire! 151
My asshole is raw from so much wiping! 61
The inability to fart because if you do, you'll poop your pants. 121
The possibility of having to shit in public restroom! 67
Not being able to leave the house! 54
Other answer. (please comment) 18

    There is nothing worse than trying to enjoy your time taking a nice normal poop in the Walmart bathroom while the guy next to you is having a triple chili gut bomb and moaning about it the whole time!

    The worst part about having diarrhea is having it when you are out on a date with a girl/guy that your really into. Your trying to act like your having a good time, and be entertaining the whole time, but the only thing you can think of is how much pressure is on your ass and if your going to explode. You can't eat very much because it causes stomach pain and your in fear of making too much more pressure. If you decide to go relieve yourself its going to take FOREVER while your date waits and wonders if you drowned in the toilet!

      Especially if you're at a movie where you can't get up very often, or doing something active like ice skating.

    I chose stings like fire because you can barely sit comfortably and walk straight afterwards. (I know you said the cause isn't a concern but whether it's from me eating spicy food or not I still think it's the worst.)

    One day I ate a bag of Hot Cheetos. I'm not suppose to eat them anymore because it irritates my stomach but I'm obsessed with them so I did it anyways. I was going out to eat after work and that's when it kicked in. My stomach was on fire and I rushed to the bathroom. I was shocked to find they only had two stalls and it was a small room. So while I was trying to do my business as fast as I could (which is impossible when you have diarrhea) so I could sneak out someone walked in. The girl freaked out because it smelled bad XD haha. I stayed in there for awhile just so no one (especially that girl) would know for sure it was me.

    I probably would have voted using a public toilet but if it had a bunch of stalls ( spray would be a plus) that wouldn't be so bad.

    • Oh, I just meant cause was excluded just for health concerns. Like, excluding the possibility that you'd die because you have some horrible disease or parasite, as that may be some people's first concern if they have diarrhea.

      lol about your story. I've been the person who walked into a bathroom and started gagging and retching from how nasty bathrooms are. I never go in there unless i am forced to by my kids. I'd go piss in the parking lot or behind the dumpster before I'd voluntarily go into a public restroom. A few times I've been in the restroom and some lady comes in and is sitting there making real loud sloppy fart sounds and then the smell hits, it's a nightmare. I puke so easily. I'm about to puke right now just thinking about it.

        lol. I'll flush the same time I go so no one hears the noise. I do spray the air with perfume if I have any. I find it odd how people can just sit there and make a bunch of nasty sloppy fart sounds and moan when they know other people are in there with them.

    As an astronaut, I always fear an attack when I'm in zero gravity conditions. That stuff gets everywhere!

    • Really? I'd think it would be more embarrassing if it happened when you were training in that thing that spins so hard to get you used to the high g's. It would look like if someone forgot to tighten the lid to a can of brown paint before putting it in the paint mixer.

    The worst thing is I went to Spain in April and I was with my grandma. Before we went to her little house in Spain we ate at a restaurant. And oh boy, I dont think it agreed with my stomach... Cus when I went to bed I was having horrible cramps all night long and I dint know what was wrong with me. Then I realized I had diarrhea and I was like (fuck, not this bullshit again).

    I hate being on a road trip & getting diarrhea. Then finding a restroom & just when you're about to shit your pants you discover someone else occupying the stall or there's no toilet paper left.

    I knew of a guy on a tour in China. Had the urge and the bathroom stop consisted of a hole in the ground. His knees were bad so he couldn't squat much. He ended up getting diarrhea all over his pants, & had to get back on the tour bus wearing it. I felt sorry for his wife sitting next to him on the bus.
