DBZgirl88 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 [COLOR=#004a6f]Looks like we got alot of random topics these days, so I'll add another. So, what is your worse barfing experience? You know, lots of puke and/or big mess. For me, it would have to be a few years ago when I was watching Fear Factor. One of the three scary tasks is eating or doing something really gross. Well, when I was watching it, they had to eat uncooked pig snouts, hair and all, and pig sinews and stuff. After a few minutes of watching, I just couldn't take it anymore and I felt sick. I rushed to the bathroom and barfed five consectutive times until there was nothing left in my stomach and I was barfing up acid instead. Well, lets here some gross stories.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangamaniack21 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 One of my worst barfing expirences was one day when I ate too much at old country buffet and I threw up in the grass after I had left the restuarant. I knew that I shouldn't have had that many dishes. Well the puke was all over the grass and my Dad and brother were avoiding me the rest of the night. And that is my gross story.

visualkei Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 haha. One painful time waste was coming out of both of my ends. It's unimaginable... I don't know what the hell caused it. The last time I had a horrible barfing experience was when I ate something I should've thrown away... The next thing I knew my eye was throbbing. I was literally rolling with my hands on my face because it hurted so much. Then the back of my brain started to throb, too, it was so horrible, my head was in so much pain. Suddenly I had the urge to vomit, so I did. 5 or 6 times with 5-10 minute intervals and head throbbing in between. Ofcourse I passed out afterwards for 3 hours. Awful.

Gavin Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 [SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting. To cut a very long and boring story short, I was on holiday a few years ago in Turkey, while there I made the acquaintance of a few other guys my age and we would got the bars to seek out female company. On a dare, I drank three double vodkas followed by a beer and coke mixed together, as you can imagine the first part went down fine, however adding a beer/coke concoction to the mix caused my stomach to completely rebel against me leading to one of the worst puking sessions I've ever had, about ten minutes of solid vomiting. Thankfully I managed to get to the bathroom before anyone noticed, as we were all pretty drunk.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derald Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 [FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Huh? No one here has mentioned barfing all over themselves yet? My worst, so far, happened around ten years ago, and it has not been rivaled since (it's still so vivid...). Well, I was in Mexico at the time, and I had not grown accustomed to the climate, as I had just moved down from New York, so I became ill. One night, my fever became so intense that I instantly sat up in my bed and unleashed a torrent of seething vomit, so vile it had to be spawned from hell itself, all over myself, my bed, the floor, and myself again. All contents of my stomach purged, it moved on to the acid, and, finally, my mother came rushing into the room, went out, came back with a bucket, and I eventually stopped. Oh man...that night still haunts me. I can still see the chunks of partially digested enchiladas in an entire spectrum of yellowish-brown color...all over me - their warm, sloppy, and rancid bits pressed against my body, giving off an indescribable odor...[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][COLOR=DarkSlateGray]*Imagery brought to you by your ever-so-active imagination.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava Lamp Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 [COLOR=SeaGreen][FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]Oh yay! Barfing! One of my worst barfs was on my birthday this year. I hadn't been feeling well lately (i.e. not eating much, and tired), and I had been under a lot of stress (i.e. I was in a play at the time). So, on me birthday I woke up, and decided I was hungry. Being the weirdo I am, I decided to eat some baked ziti for breakfast. So, I happily ate it. And then my brother gave my a present. It was a CD of a live They Might Be Giants concert we had went to during the summer. And that's when my stomach started to hurt. Badly. It hurt right at the top of my rib cage. I had no idea what to do. It hurt to move, so walking to the bathroom was out of the question. So instead, I sat down on a chair at my kitchen table, and I threw up into my mom's hands (don't worry, she had a towel over her hands) and then I took a shower to get the baked ziti out of my hair. My brother bragged that his present was so awesome, that it made me sick. I am never, ever eating baked ziti again. Ever. On to another wonderful barfing adventure! Huzzah! More recently, I threw up while going on vacation. What happened is this: I was tired, so I was sleeping in the backseat of my dad's car, while we were driving. And then I woke up, and ate some Combos and drank some soda. We were driving along, happily, when my stomach started to hurt. And that's when everything got annoying. I had my parents shut up, because the sound of their voices was making me sicker. I tried closing my eyes, but I felt even sicker after that. So, I had my mom pull over, and I got out of the car and wandered over off the side of the highway, leaned over, and puked. When I was done barfing, I got back in the car and was going insane. I was talking like I was drunk. Strangely enough, that was my favorite day of the vacation. Go figure.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 [FONT=Arial]The worst experience ever...ugh. Okay, so. This was back in March. I had to go to a doctor about my bladder, and that was the first traumatizing experience of the day (it involved a cup). However, I had been weighed at the doctor's office, and it scared me into trying to become a vegetarian. My mom took me to Walmart and I bought some garbanzo beans and english peas. I had the whole can of english peas for dinner that night. Later, as I was trying to get to sleep, I felt horribly nauseous. I hadn't felt that nauseous in a really really long time, so I knew what I was going to have to do. I went to the bathroom and upchucked that whole can of english peas. Oh my gawd, it was horrible. I can't stand the smell or sight of english peas now, much less the taste. I don't really throw up all that often. Once I did because I had too much chinese food, then drank WAY TOO MUCH water. I also threw up once for seemingly no reason; I had been feeling bad all day, and my friend had a stomach bug on the last day of school anyway.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horendithas Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][quote name='Chabichou][COLOR=#004a6f']So, what is your worse barfing experience? You know, lots of puke and/or big mess.[/COLOR][/quote]You mean there?s actually a barfing experience that isn?t terrible? ;) Seriously though, I?m not sure if I would even want to relate my worse experience as the details are a bit on the graphic side. I wasn?t even sick, but it was the reaction to something that I saw that triggered it. In fact I think I?ll leave that experience out of it and just use a more normal being sick one. It was the next worst experience so it fit?s the bill as well. Which brings me to last year when I had the flu. I had been feeling sick and nauseated for hours but it wasn?t until in the middle of the night when I woke up suddenly and just hurled before I even registered that I was awake. So I?m sure you can imagine that the barf just went everywhere. All over the bed, and the floor as I attempted to get to the trash can I had next to my bed. Luckily for me my roommate heard the commotion and it woke her up so she got up and helped me by changing my bedding for me while I stripped off my clothes and took a very quick shower to wash all the barf off. It was interesting trying to take a shower when I was dizzy and still feeling sick. The good thing, that episode seemed to mark the point where I started feeling better.

random-fox Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 haha~ when i was little once i came down with chicken pox. my grandma took care of me but she was iliterate so she (mis)fed me medication that was supposed to be applied on the skin. x_x i would just barf about taking a dose. it was nightmarish =_+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakurasuka Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 [size=1] Simply disgusting, Derald. That'll haunt me for a while, kiddo. [quote name='Sara][color=#b0000b][size=1]So, has anyone ever had a "best" barfing experience?[/size'][/color][/quote] Yup. I spun around too fast in my computer chair when I was ten. I felt a bit sick, and threw up in the sink. Mom thought I was sick and I got to stay home from school and watch TV all day. As for worst, it had to be in the Publix Pharmacy. I was seven. My brother was five. My brother, mother, and I were all sick. Extremely sick. Like, could barely move, worst-sickness-I-ever-felt-in-my-life kind of sick. We were at Publix getting medication. Well. As we were going down the aisle, me and my brother sitting in the cart, I threw up. Right there. In Publix. My brother, having the worst gag-reflex in history, started throwing up as well. And then I couldn't stop throwing up. And every time he'd look at me, he'd throw up too. So there we are. Standing in publix. Two kids spewing uncontrollably, and mom having absolutely no clue what to do. That was a bad day. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimmsicle Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 [FONT=Tahoma]^ I feel for you but at the same time I can't help but laugh at that image >.> It's like that video on AFV with all the toddlers barfing. Anywhooo! My worst barfing experience was when in 1st grade. One day they served red beets (or beetroots or whatever) and I refused to eat them because it was quite obvious [to me] they'd make me sick. My non-pedagogical teacher disagreed, as loud as she could so that everyone turned their attention to me, and ridiculed me until I succumbed. It took about 2 seconds for it to come up after I'd swallowed and the concoction of beetroot plus milk, plus whatever food had been eaten, spilled all over my plate. The teacher stared at me, quite unimpressed, and said flatly: [I] [B]"Eat whatever's left on the plate that doesn't have sick on it"[/B].[/I] Now. Is anyone surprised I have issues with food after living through 3 years of dining hall hell with her? Hm?[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celestialcharm Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 [COLOR=DarkOrchid][FONT=Book Antiqua][quote name='Sara][color=#b0000b][size=1]So, has anyone ever had a "best" barfing experience?[/size'][/color][/quote] Heeheehee, I did. When I was thirteen, my motion-sickness came back. I went to Europe this year, and on the plane to France it just wouldn't level! It was swaying back and forth and I could feel the contents of my stomach moving side to side. I eventually fell asleep. After an hour or so, I woke up, took the barf bag, threw up and fell back asleep. I say it was good, because I never threw up on myself, and I was able to go to sleep again. Also, the random person beside me never even woke up, so it's all good. Anyways, my worst barfing experience was sometime last year. I don't remember the occasion, but I went to a Chinese All-You-Can-Eat Buffet with my family. I ate myself silly. When I got home, I felt really thirsty. It was beacuse of my thyroid problem but that's a different story. Anyhoo, I just had to drink some ginger ale. It was just about an inch of it when I realized that I didn't feel so good. So I went upstairs to the washroom. I just sat in front of the toilet then after awhile I threw up all over the washroom rug, and on myself and stuff. Half way digested Chinese food doesn't look that good. As I cleaned it up, I realised that that was good food gone to waste! Good thing I never told my parents about it. They would have yelled to me about wasting food.[/FONT][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ryuuzaki Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 [SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]I have always had a very sensitive stomach, but I think that the worst barfing experience was when I was ill with an awful cold. It was an emotional time - I had just returned from Nebraska for my Grandfather's funeral, and I was already so behind in my studies that when I returned and fell ill, I just broke out [I]sobbing[/I], and was accused of behaving like a child by my Mother, who bawls at Lifetime movies. Yes, I'm still harboring a grudge toward that comment. It was the worst cold that I had ever had in my life. I was so congested, and so weak that walking was almost impossible. So ill, in fact, that it got me off the computer and into bed. It takes a LOT to do that, let me tell you! And that evening, I managed to wander down the stairs as my stomach had been reeling ... And I projectile vomited in the middle of asking for medicine! I continued vomiting through the night, and by the next morning, I was one-hundred percent better. It was very strange. And I did end up gaining my Mother's sympathy.[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Flasher Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 [COLOR=Sienna]I got a really, really fun one. Well, not really... But anyways, here goes: I was at a friends birthday party about 3-4 years ago. It was pretty kickass, but eventually one of us (Most likely me, but I don't remember) had the smart idea to see who could chug a 2-lieter bottle of Coke the fastest. So we do. I don't remember who wins, but I think it was me. Anyways, it doesn't need to be said that 2 lieters of coke + a bag of cheetos + yummy yummy cake = bad, but that wasn't what caused me to throw up. See, my friend is a bit of a umm... Well, he's a ****ing freak. He can throw up on command... Which he does. Into his empty coke bottle. Than, and get this... He drinks it. He bloody [i]drinks[/i] his own barf. On seeing this, I just can't hold it in and barf all over the floor. This causes him to barf up his own barf, which sprays everywhere. Another one of our friends also throws up. This I somehow find funny... But then I throw up again, while laughing, which cuases barf to come flying out my nose with incredibly painful and hilarious results. A couple of paper-towel rolls later it was nothing more than just another funny story... haha. I don't really barf because I'm grossed out by anything. I can watch High Tension and laugh, I can watch videos of mutilation and torture without so much as a flutter. The only thing that gets me sometimes is people eating rotton food... I can't stand it. Oh, and that one picture on Rotten.com where the guy gets his wing-wang stuck in a mousetrap and there's blood come out... Ewww..[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTigerGurl Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 [FONT=Arial][COLOR=DarkRed][CENTER]Hm? I got one: My mother had just came back from Wal-Mart and didn't feel like cooking, so she went out and got my sisters and I some MickeyDs(MccDonalds). So there I am on the floor eating my BigMac and some fries will my dumb*** sister flicks channels until she flicks it onto....FearFactor. Seeing as I love FearFactor, I don't say anything as we watch it. So there we are, my 3 sisters, my mother, and myself watching FearFactor eating some MickeyD's that will blow up your stomach. Well, the people on the show had to eat some rolled up roaches, bees, and some other weird crud like that. It was while I was sipping on my strawberry milkshake that my stomach had that weird sicking feeling. At first, I was just going to shake it off thinking I was freaking out about the people eating live bugs but after a while, I realized I had to barf. I tried to get up as fast as I could which was a bad idea because it made want to barf even more. Which in the end, I did. I throw up on the living room carpet and all the way down the hallway carpet into the bathroom. It was just a trail of vomit from the living to the bathroom. I was in the bathroom for quite a while. Afterwards, I had to clean up the whole mess. Ugh. After that, I never watched FearFactor again, especially while eating. :animedepr [/CENTER][/COLOR][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sikaurai Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 A thread on puking? That's awesome! Hey, here's one: I went to a Switchblade Symphony concert in Milwaukee and missed the entire show because--I suspect--somebody put something in the ONE drink that I ordered. I spent the entire evening in the bathroom, wallowing in a pool of my own vomit, too exhausted to pick my head out of the puddle. Finally, one courageous drag queen climbed over the side of the stall and lifted me out of my own sick by my hair. That was years ago, and I'm still trying to live it down. . .but I still like Switchblade Symphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpkin Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 [SIZE=1]Oh man, I've never barfed until I was a kid. Until last summer. I had just broken up with my boyfriend and one of my best friends at the time decided it would be fun to go to the fair. Everyone goes to the local fair every summer, so I thought it would be nice, after all I was single and could do what I wanted. We went on about two rides, and finally my friend really wants to go on this spinning one. Normally I'm okay with really fast rides, and I've never had a problem before so I decided to go on it. Obviously it was a lot more faster then I thought to where my neck kept facing downward, I also did the worst thing possible and closed my eyes. Nevertheless, when I got off I was extremely dizzy to wear my friend had to hold me up. To make matters worse, as soon as I got off the ride, two guys were approaching us and asking for our numbers. I could barely even see straight so I ended up just giving them my number because I was feeling nauscious. I swear I would have thrown up right infront of them if we had not left for the bathroom sooner, I went into a broken toliet and just upchucked everything. I don't think I've ever puked like that in awhile. To make matters worse, I thought I would be better after the first puke but then I just felt even worse afterwards. I met lots of people at the fair, but I had to go home sick. I ended up going to her house and puking in her bathroom. When I came out her grandparents were laughing at me, everytime I see them now they always say "Don't go on those spinny rides!" My "ex-boyfriend" also had to come drive my car home because I couldn't even walk straight. The guy I gave the number too also called my phone atleast six times inviting me to a party. Let's just say my night was ruined and I spent the rest of it in bed. [/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiHorsewoman Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 [color=#9933ff][font=lucida calligraphy] I have a very sensitive stomach and now a hyper active thyroid so I throw up a lot. My most memorable barfing experiance though has to be when I was working at Wegmans (a grocery store where I live) as a Helping Hand (gloryfied cart pusher) in the middle of Summer. I had been working for two hours when I began to get really queasy. I went inside to tell my surpervisor that I was going to clock out and go home (walk home to be precise) when I just threw up infront of the service desk. No warning from my rebllious stomach just blah all over the floor and my new sneakers. I even ended up spitting out my retainer in the process and had to go in the bathroom and wash it off before I walked home. But yeah I just wanted to curl up and die right there especially since I had to go back to work the next day and my supervisor kept asking if I was okay every fifteen minutes.[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adahn Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 [size=2]Well, I have two memorable barfing experiences, one of them my worst, and the other my most interesting. First, the most interesting.[/size] [size=2]We have relatives up in Cadillac (michigan), and sometimes we go camping up there. I got sick, somehow, and I ate a bunch of brownies. I had to puke, so I went to the bathroom, but couldn't hold it in before I could get the lid up. So, I puked all over the lid. Unsurprisingly, it looked like brownie mix, and probably enough to make a whole 'nother batch. I wouldn't have suggested it, though, because it still smelled (and tasted) like puke to me. I don't know who cleaned it up, but I feel kinda bad for Great Aunt Char (pronounced Shar, I think it's short for somethin' else).[/size] [size=2]Now, for the worst. When I was young (under 10?), we were staying at a cabin somewhere with my family and grandparents, and we went out to eat, and I ate a TON of shrimp. They were really good, and when we got back to the cabin, we got some Schwan's (sp?) Ice cream. After eating, I went to bed. Some time later, I woke up with an unbearably painful headache and a need to vomit. So, I got up, and in one of the most painful experiences in my life, vomited up my insides into the toilet, which made my already unbearable headache double in magnitude. After I thought I was done, I went back to bed and lied down, exhausted, crying, and still in a lot of pain. Repeat that about twice, and I think I finally woke my parents up. I don't know how or when, but I ended up in the hospital. The last thing I remember about the experience was a doctor saying, "It's ok, it happens sometimes." trying to comfort me about something. I pooped on the hospital bed, and I was so miserable and in pain that I didn't even notice.[/size] [size=2]From then on, I never liked shrimp again, but there's a twist to this story![/size] [size=2]It was the [url="http://www.foodcontamination.ca/fsnet/1996/5-1996/fs-05-16-96-01.txt"][color=black][b]Ice Cream[/b][/color][/url][color=black].[/color][/size] [size=2]I got so sick I almost died, but I was too tough. Since it apparently happened in 1994, I must have been about 8. Other members of my family got a little sick, but none as bad as me. I didn't find out it was the ice cream until much later, so the damage was done. I still hate shrimp, and I still like ice cream.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Boom Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think my worst was on my birthday a a few years ago, not necessarily because I barfed, but because of the situation. At the time, I had a crush on a friend of mine named Taryn. At the time, I thought she was the be all, end all of women and my quest for the perfect woman ended with her. So for my birthday, my roommate at the time decided to throw a party for me. It was a great party, a ton of people came and I'm fairly certain everybody brought alcohol. So seeing it was my birthday, it was as if I wasn't allowed to not have a drink in hand. As soon as I'd finish off a beer, somone would put another in my hand and who was I to say no? So, many beers later (I honestly think it was between 14 and 18, it was a lot and I'd never drank so much in my life) I could hardly stand. I was sitting outside,barely coherent, trying to hold a conversation. I don't remember much, but I remember what happened clear as day. Taryn came out and asked if I was okay. I looked her right in the eye and said "Taryn, I'm in love with you." I remember the look of shock on her face as all of the conversation stopped and right then, I threw up more and harder than I ever had in my life and blacked out. I woke up the next morning with the worst hangover I've ever had and asked my roommate if what I thought had happened had really happened. He assured me it did. I think Taryn just thought it was the booze talking, but it was a long time before I could look her in the eye. Epilogue- Eventually, I got over the Taryn thing and six and a half months later I met the true love of my life, who I'll be marrying in March.

Because I absolutely hate throwing up. But they day before I was diagnosed with hyper active thyroid I threw up ten times in the course of six hours. And since it took the endocrynologists a few months to regulate my meds there were days I threw up like four or five times just at random. And don't even get me started on misnomered morning sickness because the last trimester was the WORST! But hey, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has emberassing stories.[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
