    Days over, no coming back from that. Time for a long shower, fresh clothes, and go back to bed. Probably not sleep, because I’ll be dealing with embarrassment and flashbacks to graduating high school.

    My only comfort still remains that I was not alone that day. Several of us got awful cases of food poisoning.

    I’m kind of surprised by how many people have an answer for this already considered. I don’t think this is something I’ve had to consider since primary school.

    I’d probably consider the day over just because I would be worried by whatever medical condition led me to shit my pants out of nowhere.

    If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your week or is your week over?

    If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your month or is your month over?

    If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your life or is your life over?

    I clean up and do whatever I still feel like. The arbitrary border of “day” means nothing to me, same as any other arbitrary border.

      I think it refers to being being out at work, or at a major event.

      If I shit myself at work, I’m going home. I’m not coming back, either.

      If I’m out hiking, same again.

      If i’m running errands, I might have to go back out to finish them. The groceries aren’t gonna buy themselves, and now I really have to do the laundry.

    Before noon? Yeah take a shower and get back to it. Any time in the afternoon; yeah fuck that I’m going home and smoking a bowl.

    I am worried by how many people in this thread shit their pants often enough to be able to answer the question.

    If it’s before noon, it’s salvageable. If it’s afternoon, probably not. It also depends on how much. If it was a very minor shart (1ml), that’s a bit different than actually shitting your pants, imo.

    If it’s the latter, it may be time to see a doctor.

      Yeh I think the phrase “shit your pants” definitely implies like the same account of piop that you would have dumped in the toilet in a deliberate manner, except in your pants and most likely accidentally.

    Really depends on what I am doing. Whatever I was previously doing has been been put on an indefinite pause until I can get new clothes and probably take a shower. But I have kids, so the day must go on.
