Woman Tells the Story of Her Horrifying Yet Hilarious Bathroom Ordeal

Brace yourselves for one heck of a story, ladies and gentlemen! It's about a lovely young lady from the UK named Nicole McCourt.

Nicole recently shared this nightmarish story with her friend via text message, which she later posted on Facebook. Naturally, the cringe-worthy tale has since gone viral.

You see, Nicole went to the health food store to pick up some ginger for her mother. What a good daughter!

While she was there, a particular drink caught Nicole's eye. The drink claimed to have "12 calories," so Nicole figured, how could she possibly go wrong?

Thus, Nicole purchased the drink along with an oat bar for a snack. When she approached the counter to pay, the cashier gave Nicole a funny look and asked if she was certain she wanted those two items.

Nicole completed her purchase and began munching on her snacks before heading to a store called Poundland for a browse. Everything was fine and dandy until Nicole's stomach started to cramp... badly!

It turns out that the 12-calorie drink was a laxative! Not only that, but the oat bar was filled to the max with fiber, only making Nicole's situation worse.

You can read Nicole's story in full below. But fair warning, prepare to be traumatized!

"All of a sudden, my stomach has cramped."

"I've run through the queue and run to the toilet."

"Get to the toilet, and I kid you not, all hell broke loose from my bottom!"

Nicole McCourt

"I can't stop sh***ing to save my life!"

"I get the drink out and look at the back. Well, it's only one of those detox drinks!"

Nicole McCourt

"There are people knocking on the door!"

Oh man, can you even imagine how stressful it would have been? Poor Nicole!

Between the laxative drink, the fiber-filled oat bar, and the crowd gathering outside the toilet stall—what was with that anyway?—this story has all the makings of a nightmare. Thank goodness for Nicole's incredible butt-clenching technique, or this situation could have had an even more traumatic ending.

Now, from personal experience, I can tell you that anyone who suffers from IBS will know the exact horror that Nicole must have felt that day. That feeling of imminent dread fills your body and starts coming out of your pores as you frantically try to figure out how you're going to make it to the bathroom in time.

So, as hilarious as this story is—especially the way Nicole tells it—it's also a stark reality for many people on a daily basis. Not to get all serious or anything, but it's true.

Have you ever been in a situation like Nicole was? Have you had a bathroom emergency that just could not wait, no matter how hard you tried?

Oh, the horror and humiliation of it all! We would love to hear your bathroom nightmare stories in the comment section if you'd like to share.
