  • Well, given your username, I’m no longer sure whether I should allow my guts and food to interact.

    I’m also curious whether you made a typo and were too stubborn to correct it, whether it was intentional, or whether I’m imagining the whole thing.

    Honestly, I have so few people in my life that finding out one (or more) were a figment of imagination is a genuine phobia of mine. I’ve freaked out my wife by debating that there’s no way I can be certain she’s real. (Though the evidence does support it.)

    Are these supposed to be individual events or a sequence?

    Either way, I hate it.

    Close the door and remember your keys are still in the devil’s crack aka between the seat and centre console

    Once I did this after leaving my car windows cracked overnight. When I reached down to retrieve them, I crushed a roach under my fingers. I hated it. And didn’t feel clean the rest of the day.

    Scrape up your hand reaching into the crack and accidentally wipe blood on your white dress shirt

    Once I did almost this. I filled my car with gas on the way to work, tripped on the gas hose, shredded my pants, skinned my knee and got blood all over my white dress shirt. I hated it. Fortunately my then-boss was understanding.

    Need to poop but constipated

    This happens to me a lot. I hate it.

    Get out of the car and spill your coffee

    I don’t drink coffee. It’s too bitter. I hate it.

    I think they all theorized it was a food allergy (I have a vague memory of being given steroidal treatments) but I don’t really recall. If that was what they thought, it may or may not have been correct, but it’s inconsistent with anything I’ve experienced before or since.

    Something like seventeen years ago, I discovered this as well and gratefully enjoyed my cookie. Not ten minutes later, I was spewing fluid from every orifice I have. I developed hives, too. Also, I didn’t realize until someone told me, but apparently I had an extreme pallor.

    I’ve never had an allergic reaction to a cookie before, nor an allergic reaction that severe to any food item. I hadn’t consumed anything else suspect that day. It was bad enough that, once I had a sufficient break in my extensive leakage, I went to the hotel lobby where the hotel manager happened to be; he took one look at me and immediately went to call an ambulance without even asking me.

    Once I was in the ambulance, even the paramedics commented on the volume and violence of my still ongoing reaction.

    I was hospitalized overnight and it went away on its own over several hours. I was at a hotel for a week of on-site training for a new job and somehow the employer heard about it - I got major credit for showing up to the first day of training the next morning despite the circumstances.

    Nothing else went wrong health wise during that trip but I haven’t stayed at that chain since.

    edit: Corrected a word.
