Just had a pretty embarrassing moment involving a bodily function. Have any of your own to share?

@LeavesNoTrace , Looks like you left a trace this time!!
It depends on your relationship, but I would probably apoligize and blush. Then again, I fess up when I fart too.

@Judi the thing is that I barely know her and she’s home maybe once a week so it’s kind of hard for me to feel comfortable discussing anything of that nature with her.

Also I’m afraid that my explanation of “saw it and then forgot” would seem even weirder (AKA less excusable) than just not realizing that I dripped a speck on the floor…

I wish this were as easy to ‘fess up to as a fart.

If I saw a drop of blood on the floor I would not know that it came from your period instead of a shaving cut or a cut on a hand or finger. You said it’s just a speck, so clean it up when you get home, and quit worrying that she thinks you have uncontrollable body problems.

If it was a real concern, you wouldn’t have missed it when you got out of the shower.

And, it’s not like you had dropped poo on the floor. That would be major gross and require effusive apology.

@zenvelo

Well since there is a tampon wrapper in the garbage that might give it away. Also I don’t tend to shave my face in front of the sink. ;)

But yes it was just a tiny dot. Easily missed to the point where I actually had hope that she had missed it herself. But alas, she obviously didn’t if it was wiped up. I guess in the grand scheme of things it’s not a huge deal since it’s one of those things that actually just takes 2 seconds to wipe up with a moist tissue or something. But something about the connotation of menstrual fluids seems especially embarrassing and I now I’m just hoping she does something as gross so I don’t feel so awful.

Sadly the girl is basically a fairytale princess though who’s never even had a cavity and probably poops icecream. :/

You never know, maybe she found the spot and thought “oh maybe if I clean it up she won’t later find it and worry that I may have seen it”. In other words, perhaps she thought you didn’t notice it and she’s trying to save you any embarrassment for when you do. Maybe she caught on that you were on your period.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like something I would do.

Sounds to me like you are feeling much more shame than the situation warrants and you may want to look at that. Women have periods and sometimes leaks; that’s a given. If the new roommate were a male, I would be embarrassed but this is another woman. Forget it or say something if you want to, but you can really just let it be.

Talk to her. After all, she is built the same way as you and has probably had the same problems herself. Like the saying goes, “s___t happens”.

I swore I would never tell this, but what the heck, I am 68 and not getting any younger so here goes…................

Wife and I were on our way to a casino, which was 150 miles from our home. Right before we left, I took a prescribed 20 mg water pill. Stupid act on my part. We stopped three times before making it to the casino parking lot. 20 miles away, the “urge” hit me again. I told myself that I was holding off stopping anymore to take a pee, that I was determined to make it to the casino. Have you ever seen a man driving a car with his eyes crossed? I was up to my eyeballs in having to go. I sang a song, turned on the cars heater and was doing a dance inside my car. You know what I mean?

Well, we made it to the casino parking lot and parked. I retrieved our suitcases from the trunk for an overnight stay. At this point, I was dancing a jig, trying to hold it back. I ran to the casino doors and I ran the mens room. As I opened the mens door, it happened. All hell broke losse in my cutoff jean shorts. I was a dripping puppy. I finished what was left in my bladder and waited for my wife to exit her restroom. I was holding a suitcase in front of me, to hide my moisture ridden shorts. I just knew that someone in the casino security, was watching me from a camera above.

My wife looked at me and asked, “what’s wrong?”. I slowly lowered the suitcase and showed her my bad boy water spot. She could not stop laughing. She opened a suitcase and gave me a t-shirt to tie around my waste. Walking with wet urine shorts is no fun. You just know that everyone is watching you and they know what you did.

My wife tried to warn me to make that last stop. She even offered me a cup to do my business in.

My question was this? How do you pee in a cup, traveling 70 mph, on the interstate? I could just hear me trying to explain this to a fellow officer, if I had been stopped.

@LeavesNoTrace: OMG! I just shit myself lauging at you.

Maybe she didn’t see it and clean it up. If we’re going to assume anything, let’s say she stepped on it while brushing her teeth and now she’ll always wonder how she got blood on her princess sock.~

Well, it involves sharting, with friends, hours from home, so bad it went through the pants, and no spare pants.

I meant to say, also, that she likely didn’t notice. Other predicaments will eventually arise, like when you both need to use the bathroom consecutively and the first person destroys it… matches come in handy for that.

Apologize for having an out of control nosebleed. That way you address it but don’t have to be all awkward about….yeah, that was my uterine lining on the floor this morning.
