FUBS
I just had a great conversation with my boss and coworker about FUBS. We were laughing about people who "blow up the bathroom" at work. Apparently one time someone stunk it up so bad that they both stood outside the bathroom waiting to see who it was. She doesn't work here anymore. Apparently she constantly had some sort of gastro problem, my boss said, "she always wore these white trousers and there was always a brown spot in the back that ran down her leg."
So, in case you're wondering, FUBS stands for Fucked Up Bowel Syndrome. My friends Shellie and Leslie came up with it a long time ago. One of them openly suffers from IBS, aka FUBS. They went on a vacation to Italy and Greece a couple years ago and the best story (aside from the engagement) that they had to tell me is when they were in Italy and one of them had to use the bathroom really bad. The only toilets they could find were pay toilets, but as they had just gotten to the country, they didn't have any change yet. So, she had to go up to the bathroom attendant who didn't speak much english and explain to him that if he didn't let her use the bathroom she was going to shit her pants right there, in front of him. So, he let her in, and then she spent so much time exploding on the pot that her legs went numb. Now that's a serious case of the FUBS if I've ever heard one.

Does your office have an extra pair of pants and underwear in the case of a mishap? Y'know, like they did in kindergarden? Tell me my school wasn't the only one with spare pants around.
