TIFU by removing my period cup

Submitted by blameitonpatricia t3_z5udq4 in tifu

Happened yesterday but it still feels brand new.

So, we have a guest staying over and she went into the loo and left a poo that didn’t flush away.

I go in after her (gave it 10 mins to air out first lol) to pee and remove my period cup. I thought about flushing it first but decided to just do my thing and flush afterwards. We have water problems so didn’t want to waste water unnecessarily.

And that’s where I fucked up.

My period cup slipped out of my hand and fell into the toilet. And so I had to put my hand in to fish it out. Which is already disgusting but I had to do it.

And then…I ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED THE POO.

I touched somebody else’s poop. It’s been hours and the memory of the slightly rough and bumpy surface is etched into my brain. I find it hilarious but also soul crushingly horrible.

Tldr; I accidentally dropped my period cup into the toilet, which had a poop in it. Went to fish it out and ended up touching the poo.

This made my day, hilarious, thank you for sharing your pain. Makes me think of the time a toddler took a shit picked it up, put it on a stick and began chasing me with it. Poo is the kryptonite of humans.

Oh Jesus.

I thought this was going to be another blood explosion menstrual cup story!

This is far, far worse.

My kids often forget to flush and I would never pee on their poop!

You are clearly not aware of Murphy's law. I saw it coming from a mile away.

This is why I try to avoid a public toilet emptying of my cup, I’ve dropped it in my own toilet before, so it makes me nervous about doing it!

My period cup would have just gone down with the poo. Horrible for the pipes, sure, but ugh. You're a much stronger person than I, lol.

Do you not provide a poop knife for your guests?

Idk if this will make you feel better but one time I had to pee so bad that I didn’t have time to cover the seat in a public bathroom so I just sat down before realizing somebody had left piss all over the seat and I just sat in a puddle of a strangers cold piss

Please do yourself a favor and invest in some heavy duty gloves. It's much better to fish something out of a clogged toilet than to have that toilet overflow and spew sewage

Being a dumb kid at one point in my life, I've learned not to flush random objects. Thankfully I learned this with a clean and empty toilet

Didn’t matter about flushing too many times after all, right? Lesson learned.

I learned very fast after my last diarrhea incident that cleaning your own poo is nowhere near as gross as cleaning someone elses.

Penis owner here. Did you have to like empty your period cup l? Like is it an actual cup I'm confused.

Also a penis owner but:

They are cups/disks inserted into the vagina that collect the blood. Some have auto dump features that allow you to drain them without removing. Some don’t. But they are reusable so one never need to buy period products again.

I'm still wondering why someone did not make sure the poo went down the toilet completely... In a guests house no less!
