Let’s start this story with the
cast of characters. Two of my friends from work who both had the same first name so I’ll use their
last names in the interest in keeping the story understandable. They are Martinez and Fry.
Martinez met this girl named Monica on a plane when he flew home to Texas for Christmas. We all
lived in North Carolina at the time and Monica lived about 85 miles from us. Martinez and I had been to
Monica’s house once about two weeks before this infamous day. Well Fry wanted to get out of town
so Martinez started working the arrangements to head out to Fayetteville and see Monica again. He also
let her know to have a friend join her so the ratio wouldn’t totally suck. She got her friend Samantha
to hang out.
We
start driving out on Sunday morning and since I’m the only one with a car I get to drive. We venture
through the desolate landscape that is eastern North Carolina for a few hours identifying the rules of engagements for the
remainder of the day. We arrived at Monica’s apartment and decided that we should all go out and
get some lunch. A Mexican place was suggested and there weren’t any objections so that is where we
went. This is where the turn for the worst is made, note bad decision number 1.
A little background, Fry and I always fuck
around and talk shit about each other. The most common attacks were based on our ethnic backgrounds,
he’s partially Jewish and I am German. What a good combination. Well, I begin
fucking with Fry by asking him “how he’s jewing” and shit like that and of course he’s following it
up by calling me a Nazi. Well the “friend” Samantha now becomes the target of my attention.
I start hitting on her and acting like I’m the coolest guy that’s ever talked to her by taking the “you‘re
lucky I’m even talking to you” stance and she isn’t having any of me. I am trying to
figure out why. It makes no sense to me why this broad isn’t into me. Apparently
after fucking with Fry about being Jewish for the better part of our lunch this Samantha had enough and told me that she too
was Jewish. Must be one of the few Jews out there without a sense of humor, well fuck it. My
chances with this one were gone. I think that we went to the movies and watched “Gone in 60 seconds”.
The progression of lame events went from afternoon and faded into evening and we ended up going back to Monica’s
apartment.
I
had been antisocial all afternoon since I fucked up any chance of “befriending” Samantha and subsequently counted
down the minutes till we could go home and chain smoked cigarettes. Monica was claimed by Martinez prior
to us getting there so I was totally assed out. What does one do in this situation? I
asked Monica if she had any alcohol and she showed me to an unopened 1.75 liter bottle of vodka and a half gallon of cranberry
juice. I made myself a pretty stiff drink and whacked it down a way too quickly. Being
that I was 20 and hadn’t hit my drinking prime I didn’t feel drunk so I made another and another and before I
knew it the bottle was empty. What am I going to do now? Let the alcohol catch up and
smoke more cigarettes. Over the next 30 or so minutes my intoxication transformed my solitude into a social
butterfly then I got more fucked up than I can remember ever being in my life. Everyone was in Monica’s
room watching TV so I staggered in there to join them.
After my vision started to blur my stomach thought it would be a good
idea to get all of the vodka, cranberry juice and Mexican food out of my stomach in the fastest possible way.
I threw up. Thankfully I caught the majority of it in my mouth and hands and lurched up wobbled
toward the bathroom and careened through the door before anyone noticed. I push up the seat and begin vomiting
uncontrollably into the toilet. Puke and snot dripped from my nose and it burned my throat.
My eyes were watering and my stomach was knotted up, I was aware of all of the pain that I was feeling at this point
but I lost feeling in one very important area. I thought that someone was grabbing my ass.
I turned around to see if who was fucking with me when I was puking and unfortunately no one was there.
In my state at the time my brain wasn’t functioning very well so it took me a little longer than normal to realize
that I was shitting my fucking pants.
I quickly unbuttoned my jeans and pulled my pants off while turning to sit on the toilet.
Bad decision number 2. While doing this I sprayed shit out of my ass in a semicircle around me and
all over the toilet, shower curtain, bath mat and floor. The place was a total fucking mess.
Since I had no coordination at this point and I covered the toilet seat in liquid shit I slipped all over the place
when I sat down to finish what I had started. I was holding on to the sides of the seat for dear life.
I sat there for a while trying to figure out what I could do to reverse this horrible turn of events.
There weren’t many options. My pants and underwear were thoroughly saturated in shit so the
thought of escape was quickly dismissed. I couldn’t believe the magnitude of damage that I had inflicted
on this bathroom. Where did all of this shit come from? I had no idea that I could expel
this much diarrhea and vomit. I sat there in almost a state of awe. I began wiping my
ass and thighs but (due to my extreme state of intoxication) kept sitting back on the shitty toilet seat. I
cleaned that up as well as I could and I began looking under the sink for cleaning supplies. I didn’t
find anything except a half full bottle of nail polish remover. So with that, I went to work.
I began pouring the
nail polish remover on everything that was brown. The combination of these two smells made me want to fucking
hurl again. Using toilet paper to wipe this shit up, no pun intended, I made minimal progress.
I basically spread the shit around and made the smell much worse. Up to this point my adventures
were unknown to the rest of the inhabitants of the house. This wasn’t going to last long, there was
only one bathroom in this house. Fry knocked on the door and asked if I was ok, here’s how the conversation
went:
Fry: Hurry
up dude, both of these chicks have to piss and this is the only bathroom, go pass out somewhere else.
Karl: Fuck you! Leave
me alone.
Fry: Bitch
I’m not kidding, get the fuck out!
Karl: NO!
To
this point they all thought that I had only thrown up. Little did they know I sprayed ass water all over
the only bathroom in this girl’s house. He knew that I wasn’t going to leave so he tried to
open the door. I jumped up and slammed it back shut and locked it. When I made
it back to the comfort of my shitty seat I looked up and noticed a very disturbing sight. When I pushed
the door closed my hands were still covered in shit and there was a big shitty handprint on the door. What
the fuck was I going to do? More nail polish remover. I began to wipe the door but to
my surprise not only did I get the shit off the door, I got the paint off too. I started to get tired and
was on the verge of passing out. I had filled the shitter with TP and I tossed my pants across the room.
At this point the only thing that I could do was clean myself up.
I crawled into the shower and laid down. I
threw up again and was scared that I would shit in the shower. I was in and out of consciousness and very
afraid that I was going to get found out. I cleaned my ass and legs off nicely and laid back down looking
into the drain. I honestly thought I was going to die and I was ok with that rather than going out there
and facing my embarrassment. This was my last thought as I faded into my drunken coma.
Fry eventually broke into the bathroom. When
He saw what happened he freaked the fuck out. He yelled to the girls and Martinez to call 911.
He relayed to them that I drank a bottle of nail polish remover and that the scene look like something from the movie
“Train spotting”. This crazy shit got me really scared and I muttered to him to not call 911.
I explained the situation as best as I could.
Karl: I didn’t drink it, I used it to try to clean up. Please don’t
call 911.
Fry: Holy
shit… (lots of laughing) what the fuck happened?
Karl (very drunk): Ishitmyselfwhatthefuckdoesitlooklike?
Fry: Dude, you have to clean this up,
I’ll be right back.
I climbed out of the bath tub and stood there with a towel on and waited for Fry to come back.
He came back with paper towels and a pair of basketball shorts. Perfect. He opened
up under the sink and there was a bunch of cleaning supplies. Where were these when I was looking down
there? Fry left again and returned with a garbage bag. We threw away all of the bath
mats and stuff and my pants and skivvies, literally a sack of shit.
I cleaned up the devastated areas as best
I could with my new friend the Bounty man. I disposed of all of these paper towels into the toilet, yet
another terrible idea. If it wasn’t clogged before it sure was now. I stumbled
back out of the bathroom for the first time in what seemed like an hour. I saw Monica and apologized for
vandalizing her bathroom. Strangely she was very cool about the whole thing. I
honestly don’t think that she had or has any idea what actually happened in her bathroom. We drove
back to our place and arrived around 2 am. I had to be to work at 7 the next morning and was hung over
until Wednesday. I didn’t drink or smoke for months after this night. This has
trumped anyone’s “most embarrassing moment” story that I’ve met to date.
