Worst/most embarrassing bout of vomiting you have ever endured?

    If you passed a man inexplicably screaming over the side of the Connor Pass today in Kerry, that was me suffering from food poisoning ... 5 hours to get back to Cork and 8 scenic stops along the way. I have aged ten years. Thankfully it didn't progress further than throwing up!

    A few bus loads of tourists passed too, all agog but was too sick to care.

    Now that I can converse for a few minutes without destroying my laptop with projectile vomiting, what is the worst or most embarrassing bout you have ever experienced?

    College days, many, many years ago.
    Got the last bus home after drinking far more Guinness than could be comfortably accommodated.
    I was in a packed bus (the number 7 from city centre to Ballybrack).

    Luckily I was upstairs and the very back row.
    Ended up puking on myself and the floor around Dun Laoghaire.
    Still had another 20 mins of bus journey to go.

    Luckily every was stating intently ahead and ignoring me.
    But I had a walk of shame past everyone on the way out.

    Taxi from Chicago O'Hare to the city center. :/ Flippin' airline food came up. The driver was a gent though, pulled over to the side in mad Chicago traffic so I could get the last of it out of my system and gave me a bottle of water. The fare was about $40 (incl. soil charge:o). I gave him $60 for his troubles, he refused but I told him to keep it.

    Super Bowl Sunday 1993 - started drinking @ 10:00am) - cases of beer (48 x 350ml) into the game (I used to be a bit of a drinker), I happen to get a tickle in the back of my throat causing me to cough relentlessly.

    Let's just say that the wallpaper on my friend's parents house have never been the same.

    Dallas won the Super Bowl causing another bout of the 'chucks.

    On a bus, into town, after work, when I was about sixteen. I'd felt poorly all day but the rumbling of the bus just did me in. I had to jump off half way and It Began as I was getting off. Most of it landed on the ground or the railings, but some landed on my legs. Everyone on the bus saw me, and I had to hang around there in the open for ten minutes while my mother came to collect me. I was laid up for a few days after that.

    my mate did that on the 46a years ago on the way to wesley, he was drinking guinness from the can and brought it all up. the horrible part was when the bus accelerated the river of guinness puke flowed back down the bus and when it slowed down the river flowed back up to the front

    as a Kid I used to suffer with bad motion sickness on coaches. So end of year school trips were usually eventful for me especially enroute to the likes of Alton Towers and Blackpool :D

    Pulling over after the toll on the M50 northbound and hurling at the side of the road at 3pm on a Saturday, self inflicted of course....

    In front of my boyfriend when we'd been together, oh, maybe a month? It was at a bus stop one morning, I fainted just as the bus pulled up too. Thanks to all the lovely commuters who stared with their mouths open instead of offering any help to the very clearly ill young woman.

    Also thanks to my boyfriend for reminding of that incident last night :o Apparently, that's when he decided I was a keeper. Score :cool:

    on the train to school from skerries to connolly, half seven in the morning. i had decided to have breakfast that morning, speacial k if i recall correctly. mind you, breakfast never really agreed with me! this train would hit all the stops before howth junction and then non stop to connelly, and just before howth junction i started to feel lightheaded, probably from the disgustingly overloaded commuter route train with no open windows (god forbid the people in their lovely seats should get a breeze on them! :mad:) so i nearly pass out, and a gentleman notices and asks am i ok. i nod in the affirmative and he suggests i sit down, but with not even room to do that i merely hunkered down with my back to the pole behind me. gazing at a sea of feet, i slowly realised i was going to upchuck, so i braced myself, took aim, and fired at some poor lady's expensive looking shoes and suit trousers! que the special k...now i have terrible circulation in my legs, i cant sit cross-legged for five minutes without pins and needles, but i was so embarrassed i couldn't bring myself to stand nose to nose with this poor lady, who never even reacted, bless her cotton socks (although i bet she wished she were actually wearing socks that morning!) so i stayed in that position for an agonizing twenty minutes, until we finally reached the station, at which point i lifted myself slowly and nearly fell off the train because i couldn't feel my legs! i then sat on a bench, waited for the next train back to skerries and went to bed!

    sorry lady... :o

    I was sitting on the bus, a little inebriated after the first outing in college. Sitting across from this elderly woman, I felt the usual rubling that precedes vomiting. I tried to hold it, but it began to erupt from my gut. The elderly woman noticed my increasingly wobbly and grey person. Noticing that she noticed, I put my hand over my mouth, and held up my finger in a 'got it' motion. It was only then that ol' faithful erupted and I vomited straight into my mouth. My mouth couldn't handle the volume of puke, and since I had my hand over my mouth, the vomit came streaming out both sides of my hand like some sort of pea soup fountain. I fell off the bus at the next stop. Which happened to be two stops after where I should have left the bus.

    Was out one night for a few pints. Only had 3.
    After returning home and going to sleep a few hours after i awoke with a weird feeling.

    I went to the bathroom and emptied the contents of my stomach;
    and so began the on the hour every hour of getting sick for about 10-12 hours.

    I had to force myself to drink loads of water just so i wouldn't be dry wrenching.

    I was glad then what i over.

    Got a bad case of something and had to rush to the porcelain throne, had just started to go when the cramps got too bad and I started getting lightheaded.
    I couldn't get off the toilet to get sick in it so I ended up vomiting straight forward into my jocks and trousers which were around my ankles.
    I continued to squirt out both ends for what seemed like a lifetime, I felt like a tube of toothpaste that had been squeezed empty.
    Had to spend the night lying in the bath, the bout continued for another two days.

    At a wedding in Italy. It was being held in the brides house,(I was friends with the groom, didnt really know the bride). Earlier on in the day I had been coming out of the shower wet towel in hand and the mother of the bride (in italian, translated by the bride) started going mental that there was water dripping on the highly polished wooden.
    Back from the church and we were treated to the most amazing ten course meal, the usual in Italy im told. Being adventurous i tried all the food and all the different wines for each course.
    Having a ball, the out comes the grappa. Assuming it was just another wine, cue me drinking wine glasses of the stuff (that far on at this stage i could have been drinkin petrol).
    Priding myself on knowing "the one thats one too many" I headed for bed,I was staying in the brides younger sisters room) Hopped in to bed happy out, until the dreaded spins started. Up I lept, unable to find a light switch i had no option but to spew beside the bed. It was coming up in bucket loads, projectile. During a break, i found the light swtich. It was everywhere,walls, of course those highly polished floor ran throughout the house! Freaked out and started cleaning up with a small packet of Kleenex.One sheet did not do plenty.
    Started off again, not wanting to get any more on the floors i had to do it in my suitcase, which was full before long.
    The chap staying in the room with me (the grooms brother) came in. freaked out me still vomiting,called his brother up, along with the bride!!! Long story short (sorry) ended up bride scrubbing up my puke still in her wedding dress for fear the mother would find out. Mortified needless to say.
    This couldnt get any worse,you might say.What i should have mentioned was her younger sister was an artist. I managed to cover her entire portfolio with the entire contents of my stomach, and probably one or two of my internal organs.
    Needless to say it took a lot of coaxing to get me down for breakfast the next morning, when i eventually did, fearing for my life over the state of the room, sat at the table, brides Dad comes over and plonks a bottle of grappa on the table for my breakfast and burst out laughing! Oh the relief! (apologies for the long post)

    I got sick on the floor of a pub in front of a family eating dinner. It was around 3pm in the day. Shouldn't have mixed Guinness and Budweiser.


    (I was only 16 in fairness though. :))

    I was in first year and it was the first day of rag week so of course we got absolutely ****faced. We ended up drinking some evil concoctions (vodka, whiskey, scotch, brandy, some cheap baileys crap, wine, mickey finns etc). Any who, one of my friends was having a house party for his 18 birthday so I saunter over to his place drunk as the proverbial skunk.

    It turns out no one came to his party so it was him, his two housemates (all of which were sober) and a stupendously drunk me in his flat. At this stage I had enough alcohol in my system to paralyse a small horse. I was sitting on a chair in his kitchen slipping into an alcohol induced coma. Then I felt the urge to get sick. I got up and ran over to his sink and puked all over it. Unfortunately he had a basin in his sink with a load of dishes in it so I covered them in vomit. At this point I can't remember anything so I'm relying on what others have told me. It turns out that I went to one of my classmates (he was one of the ones that I was drinking with earlier in the night) flats and got sick in his place a few times. He wasn't too annoyed when he found out (he also doesn't remember this) as he got sick all over his place as well. There was sick everywhere in his place. It was the most I ever threw up but still a great night.

    When I was pregnant I had no real symptoms, no morning sickness, mood swings etc. Bar one morning when I was driving to work. Spinning along at 100km, listening to some morning radio show and Eminem's Slim Shady came on. I suddenly started thinking about the video for the song and that bit where they gob into the fat woman's burger. Something about the mental image made me gag and out of the blue I hurled all over the steering wheel and windscreen. And on and on it went, like the bloke at the end of The Meaning of Life, my eyes watering and nearly blind, heaving to the extent that I could barely hit the brakes. Lucky it was a quiet morning and a country road. I didn't go to work that day. Only time in my adult life that I've had non-alcohol-related puking!

    I vomitted in front of a girl i was on a second date with a few years ago. I absolutely couldn't help it, one minute i was fine, the next im fighting to contain the contents of my stomach. Happened on a main street so i attracted a lot of attention. Poor girl pretended not to be bothered but i knew she was freaked out.

    We parted company, i got the bus (got sick into a plastic bag twice on the way) home & went straight to bed & puked all night. I also had the scuts.

    Never go to a bbq where the cook is drunk. 4 other people at the bbq were also sick.

    I still get paranoid at bbq's.:(

    When I was 7 I had some kind of virus that eventually landed me on hospital. Remember projectile vomiting one night, from one end of the kitchen to the other, went at least 10 feet and lasted ages. Even at at the time mid puke I thought it was epic.

    I had the great misfortune to see a mate absolutely hammered taking a dump in an open stall in a nightclub in town. The poor bastard was so plastered he forgot to close the door while sitting on the throne so we all got a great view when he totally lost control of all bodily functions and ended up getting sick into his trousers which were conveniently placed around his ankles.

    Sure enough, he had to pull them up and stumble home. I don't think we ever told him the full story as he thought himself to be quite the drinker at the time!
