Salmonella. Dined out with friends, then had to go home because I wasn't feeling well, things went South quickly. Had some vile stomach cramps and ran a slight fever, then mercifully fell asleep. My sleeping body couldn't handle things, so in the middle of night it just randomly goes "Congratulations, you're conscious. Also, you're gonna start diarrhea right about NOW!"
I made it out of bed and two steps towards the door. It may have been a better choice to not get out of bed. My boxers did not stop much.
You know how, when you're roused from sleep suddenly, you don't think straight? I bravely soldiered on to the toilet. As I was sitting there, realization hit. I had left a trail.
I lived alone at the time. I was nauseous and weak. I cleaned myself up. I cleaned the floor. I didn't count how many breaks I had to take due to violent bouts of diarrhea. Despite everything, I didn't barf. That night is easily in the top 3 worst experiences of my life.
