I was running late and I guess eating my bagel too quickly and then speed-walking to work did something bad to my stomach. I felt fine until I got into the building and suddenly felt dizzy and queasy. I work in a shared co-working office and ducked into one of the little “phone-booths” they provide, basically just a cubicle with a seat and desk.
Sat down and could feel it starting come up but I tried swallow it down. Bad idea because that made it worse. Puked all over the table in front of me. It was pretty bad. I felt lucky I was in the phone booth because at least there was some privacy (one guy did walk past me and seemed to kinda look through the glass door but I don’t think he saw anything). Thank God I had a pack of napkins in my bag that I used to wipe up the vomit on the table. At the same time, I joined the conference call and tried to not sound like my voice was cracking. Had to mute to wetly cough. Call ended and I wadded up the napkins and threw them away in the bathroom. Washed up a bit and cleaned the drops of vomit on my clothes. The office has wipes so I grabbed those and wiped down the phone booth table. Left no evidence. Grabbed my stuff, went back to the main office, and worked the rest of the day.
Didn’t tell anyone and prayed no one could smell it.

Holy shit. Impressive. Truly.
Are you pregante?
Lost my breakfast during a client presentation last year. The worst part? It was a video call and I couldn’t find the ‘stop video’ button fast enough. Now I keep a bucket under my desk just in case, and never eat anything before important meetings.
This happened to me in Kindergarten. I ate a muffin too fast, puked it up, cleaned it up quickly before the teacher or anyone else saw, and pretended it never happened. The panic and embarrassment has stuck with me for over 30 years lol
When I was pregnant during COVID I threw up while facilitating a virtual group therapy session! Thankfully I was home and had a co-facilitator who knew why I disappeared.
Been there, but mine was worse. Rushed breakfast, chugged coffee, ran to catch the elevator. Started my presentation and boom – decorated my whole desk and my intern’s laptop. Poor kid’s first day too. He still looks traumatized whenever someone eats near him.
When I was very young 1 million years ago, and each holiday the teachers would kindly dispense treats and to go with them, flavored drinks in bottles for our parties. I mean, it was very kind of them to spend their own money on our treats.
For Halloween we would get orange drink, for Christmas and Valentine’s parties we would get red drink, etc.
Some kids didn’t care for the drinks and wouldn’t open them up. I was in the third or fourth grade during a Valentine’s Day party and one kid convinced all the other kids that didn’t like the red drink to give him the bottles he consumed about four of them. Our teacher, Miss Renton warned him not to do that, but he decided to do it anyway.
Unfortunately, he rode my school bus. On the way home I was sitting two seats ahead of him. I heard this massive grunt or grown from behind me and all of a sudden after I turn around I see Mr. Greedy Pants start to puke.🤮
A literal flow of chewed up cookies, digestive juices and red spew followed under the seats, and I had to lift up my feet so that my shoes wouldn’t get covered in the crap
And it didn’t stop for quite a while. The puking just kept going. I had to turn to the side of my seat, carefully step out in the aisle while the bus was moving, and go to a different seat.
Finally, Mr. Pukarama came to his bus stop and got off, holding his stomach. The stench fill the boss as he made his way down the aisle to get off.
The rest of us definitely hated him for a while, and the bus driver had to take a broom and shove that trashy liquid child’s disgusting brew off the bus and then take a couple of buckets of water and try to clean the floor off. I know this, because he told dumbass that when he returned to school the next day.
That’s all 😂.
You’re a champ… I’d have to go home man.
If you had norovirus, you just infected at least whoever came along afterward and possibly anyone in a radius of about a dozen feet or so, although being enclosed would help stem spread.
I puked all over my windshield once bc there wasnt anywhere to pull over fast enough. Can confirm was pregernant
