Public toilets are a pretty grim place to be, given that they're usually covered in urine (or worse) and smell like something's crawled into the pipes and died. But when you've got to go, you've got to go.
However, one person found herself in the tricky situation where she'd needed to go so badly that her trip to the loo left a small child in tears.
Nicole McCourt found herself in the awkward predicament after she accidentally bought a detox drink. Luckily for us, she Facebook messaged the whole ordeal to her friends.
So far, so good, right?
Ah, okay. This doesn't sound like the beginning of a good story. No happy ending ever began with 'my tummy feels weird'.
Uh oh...
Oh yeah, that drink. The flapjack. The odd warning from the cashier.
Omg. Make it stop.
I don't think any of us can blame her for making a run for it - it's not likely that anyone would stick around to see how people react to that already extremely awkward situation.
I mean, what would you even say? "Sorry for the smell in there, it's just that I had a drink and my colon is doing a conga so I've pooed my hopes, dreams and dinner into the bog."
Her shit made the little girl CRY.
Luckily Nicole was able to see the funny side of it, and after sharing her unfortunate tale on Facebook her woes racked up over 7,000 likes.

Mind you, however bad she thinks things were, Nicole can at least take solace in the fact that it didn't get as bad as the situation this poor plumber found himself in.
He was called to what he thought was going to be a routine job in a woman's basement flat - only to arrive and be met with the grim sight of a bathroom absolutely covered in poop.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Steven said the woman who lived at the property had returned home from holiday to find her once-beautiful bathroom like this and had called the company in tears, pleading with them to come out and fix it.

He said the 'volcano of poo' was caused by the draining from flats above bypassing a blockage and, instead, pouring out of this poor woman's toilet.
However, professional Steven went on to say that between him and the team they got it looking as good as new.
He added: "It was the worst job I've ever had, but I was very satisfied at the state I left the flat in.
Wow, what a hero.
