Yesterday I stayed up finishing a research proposal and presentation due the next day. I woke up exhausted. Cognition at about 12%.
No time for breakfast. Luckily chocolate meal replacement drinks exist. I brought one to drink between classes. First class ends. One more to go.
Open bottle. Take a sip. Loosely screw the lid back on. Forget. Put it in pocket.
Walk around, everything is fine. Sit on the floor. Gravity.
…Why am I wet and cold?
I look down.
Brown puddle in my lap.
Brown puddle on the floor.
OH FUCK. OH FUCK.
Two people walk past. I panic and try wiping the floor with the only paper I have. A bank statement. It just smears. Turns out receipts aren’t very absorbent.
Out of options, I flee the scene and sprint to find a single stall universal bathroom while leaving a sticky chocolate milk trail behind me. Brown liquid is running down my leg from my crotch. I am wearing shorts. White sock turning brown.
FIRST FLOOR: OCCUPIED.
SECOND FLOOR: OCCUPIED
THIRD FLOOR: OCCUPIED
FOURTH FLOOR: OPEN
Thank fuck
I rush inside. I empty my pockets. Phone, Keys, Cards and IDs everything is coated in sticky protein smoothie. Damage control begins.
The sink is broken
drip
drip
drip
The sink dispenses approximately 2 mL of water per minute.
I strip naked and attempt to clean myself. The toilet paper disintegrates into wet confetti. I now resemble a breaded chicken strip.
I try rinsing out my clothes. I’m about to miss my presentation. Being the reliable group member I am, I text:
“Hey, bus is running behind but I’m coming. Ask if we can present a little later.”
Absolute bullshit. I’m literally one building over, naked, fighting for my fucking life.
Get some of it out with what little water was available, cut my losses. Fuck it. Black clothes hide stains
Socks… those could not be saved. Trash.
Go to the presentation smelling faintly of cocoa, sugar and milk. I am wet. But it had been raining, so I’m prayed everyone assumed I just got caught outside.
Unfortunately there was still meal replacement residue marinating on my body. The classroom was warm. As time passed, the smell got stronger. I quietly moved far away from everyone until it was our turn to present
On the bus ride home, I STARTED TURNING SOUR 💀
Get home, empty out my backpack, stepped directly into the shower no stripping.
Water runs brown 🍫
I washed:
myself,
my clothes,
my backpack,
my phone case,
my cards,
basically everything I owned.
I survived.
My iPhone survives. Apple is milk resistant. 5 stars
My assignment was submitted.
My presentation was finished.
I gained resilience.
And I learned three valuable lessons:
Tighten the lid.
Black clothes are your friend.
Never trust white socks.
**TL;DR:** Forgot to tighten the lid on a chocolate meal replacement drink, put it in my pocket, accidentally emptied it down my crotch, spent 20 minutes naked fighting a broken sink, then gave a presentation smelling like fermenting milk
