I remember going to the hospital as a young boy because I was so much pain from being constipated. I don't think I crapped for a week. But what really sucks is that constipation often leads to diarrhea. Your blocked up for so long, once it comes, it like a dam breaking. Constipation is much worse.
I was friggin' 8 years old. If one of my kids was in the same position as I was, especially after experiencing it, I'd do the same for them as well. It's much less embarrassing happening as a kid then say as a teenager or adult. I'd feel for whoever would have to seep through ass hair.
I've never experienced constipation, but going by my wife's comparison... During my wife's pregnancy, she had constipation problem quite regularly. One time it got so bad that she can hardly move and we had to bring her to the hospital because we thought there was something wrong with her and the baby. One day (about a year or so later) we were disgussing about her time during pregnancy, she had this horror on her face when I brought up the constipation problem. I asked her how she rated the pain factor and she said : it's worst than giving birth... For the ones that think diarrhea is worst, please ask yourself this question "Would I rather have diarrhea or give birth?" For me, constipation wins hands down. London'sBurning, remembering how much pain my wife was in, I can sympathize with what you went through. Keep eating those bananas people.
Man...both suck. It depends on where and when. For instance if you are at a friends house or party it is better to be constipated. Or if you are stuck on a bus or on a tour or something like that then it is better be constipated...nothing worse than crapping your pants in public....not that I would know.... ....or would I? ...
London'sBurning, just be thankful it was your mom and not your dad that had come home... "Come on!! Just hurry up and squeeze it out, ya pansy! I gotta go!! I've squeezed out turds twice the size of YOU, so don't whine about a little one with some peanuts in it!"
Are you guys freaking kidding me?!?!?! Constipation is an absolute joy compared to the runs. Think about the potential nightmares with having the sh!ts...... In a plane At a bar with no stall door and people waiting in line At your girlfriends house for Christmas dinner On a roller coaster In a car in the middle of nowhere In the middle of a job interview The disaster and embarassment potential with the runs far outweighs anything that happens during constipation. End of story.
*NOTE TO SELF* Never read this thread while beginning a 1 1/2 hour class with a turtle poking his head out trying to touch cloth...
ARRGGHHH!!! I couldn't get to the restroom on my 5 minute break!!! Time to pinch it for another hour and a half...
