My most cringe and annoying moment this year
This happened recently and anytime I remember it, I still feel this mix of embarrassment and annoyance. Like, I really just wanted a normal day but my body had other plans.
So it was during a youth fellowship gathering in school. It was a big one, not the regular small group different departments were present and the hall was almost filled. I hadn’t attended for a while so I was happy to show up and just enjoy the vibe. I dressed well, kept it simple, and even got there early for once.
The program started beautifully. Praise and worship went smoothly, the atmosphere was nice, and I was seated comfortably in the middle row. Everything was fine, until my stomach started misbehaving.
I don’t even know what triggered it, but the rumbling started gently. At first I ignored it, thinking it would pass. But instead, it got louder and more intense. The kind of sound your stomach makes that even people two seats away can hear, yeah, that one 😭.
I kept my head down and tried to look unbothered, but inside I was praying the ground would just open up and swallow me. People around me started turning their heads. Someone even whispered, “Who’s stomach is doing that?” I just pretended not to hear.
The discomfort got worse and I knew I had to step out. I tried to be as calm as possible, gently stood up, and made my way out. I didn’t want to draw attention, but in a quiet hall, any small movement feels loud.
I got to the restroom and that’s when I realized the universe was really out for me that day, there was no water. None. I was just standing there, sweating and frustrated. I had to text someone I trusted from the fellowship to come and help me out quietly. Thankfully, she did, and even brought sachet water. May God bless her.
I cleaned up, composed myself and went back inside. But the moment had already ruined the rest of my mood. I couldn’t concentrate again. I just kept thinking about how obvious everything probably looked. I stayed till the end of the program but once we said the final “Amen,” I picked my bag and left.
Looking back, it’s actually funny. Like, it was just a natural body thing, but in the moment, it felt like the world was against me. What made it worse was how I tried so hard to be lowkey that day and still ended up with a dramatic experience.
Anyway, lesson learnt: always eat smart before fellowship, and always check the restroom before you sit down comfortably.
Thanks for taking your time to read my post.

This must have been a very disgracing moment for you then, I can understand how bad you'll felt that day. But I'm sure some people will understand with you, it's just that it's somehow embarrassing. And thank God you know why this happened to you, because of the food you ate before the fellowship and you've said it all that we should mind the kind of food you'll eat when going for fellowship like this. Having said this, I like your entry.
Thanks my brother, it is o, but we move

lol 😂... but really, why does a natural occurence with our body have to be seen as an embarrassment? even the people that we try to pretend for in such situations also experience a troubling stomach. i remember traveling one time and I was having a running stomach. I didn't want to inform the driver to stop because i was embarrassed. I thought I could hold it till i get to my destination but it got worse. As I sat there sweating and praying to God to save me from embarrassment, the mind came with the motivation questioning me that between telling the driver and shitting myself which is more embarrassing? Lol, that was all the motivation that I needed o as I yelled for the driver to stop that I needed to poop. Everyone turned to look at me as I was seated in the back but I didn't care lol. the driver stopped, I came down to empty bowel and when i was done, I saw a lot of people also used that opportunity to pass out either urine or poop. That experience marked the end of my embarrassment with troubling stomach.
😆 that's funny 🤣, but kudos👏to you for summoning the courage to do the necessary, even in the face of actual embarrassment, but looking at what you did, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, it's a normal thing for all human beings to poop, but still I salute your courage sha.
