    I guess depends on the reason. If it’s just a one off accident then I’d just put the dirtied clothes in the laundry (after a preliminary shit removal with just water), shower, and wash my clothes properly. But if I’m shitting myself it might be food poisoning in which case I am staying home, possibly glued to the toilet seat, and/or going to hospital if it’s serious enough.

    It depends on the severity.

    • If you are touching cloth, then it is a shart and should be relatively well contained. You just need to clean-up and perhaps discreetly dispose of your undercrackers.
    • If you are touching socks, then the world has dropped out of your bottom and is pretty disastrous as everything is contaminated. You also have a larger problem as this would suggest you have food poisoning or some kind of illness and this is just the start of your problems. When I was in hospital the guy opposite me got C. difficile and the result was unexpected and borderline volcanic - that wasn’t just a bad day, it was a bad week.

    I always think what Stalin would do in the same situation as me. It’s hard to imagine Stalin shitting his pants, but if it would somehow happen I think he would keep his pride and wouldn’t let anyone see that something gone wrong. So, I would do the same.

    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.

    Just depends on reactions. If no one says anything I just go with it. If 5+ people say something I fix it. If 1-5 people say something they’re probably outliers.

    Day’s over. I work in food service, and any symptoms of a GI illness are cause for a sick day as a matter of public safety.

    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.

    As someone with Crohn’s disease, this is a normal day. Honestly, I’d be feeling off until I shit my pants.

    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.
