Perhaps I should have made this a little more clear, but yes, I did get puked on. Unfortunately the woman behind me was in a seat which was higher than mine, and thanks to the laws of physics, that meant the vomit sailed nicely downwards and splashed onto the back of my head. She didn't aim into her lap. The guy next to her had the aisle seat, and he at least puked into his lap. One of the other three who puked was standing up in the aisle, and I'm pretty sure he splashed a few people. The other two were at the front of the bus. Basically, it was a Pukey Bus from hell. Getting off was maybe the happiest moment of my life.

OMG that is horrible.... I am sorry to hear that.... My only comment is who on God's green earth thought u deserved this... They should be puked on!!!!

Explanation's down at comment #78 :)

Ha We told you guys!! #12 "There was no escape" sounds exactly what it sounds like. That she couldn't move out of the way of the puke. :p Thanks OP for the explanation, but sorry about getting thrown up on.

Ew. That sucks.

I would *not* have been able to handle that. I'm massively emetophobic - I'm better than I was years ago, I was agoraphobic because of it for a long time and terrified of things like public washrooms and buses - I couldn't even handle seeing it in cartoons. I'm at the point now where I can deal with it in cartoons or movies (where I can tell myself it's fake - save for that Monty Python skit, which my abusive ex boyfriend decided to use to 'cure' me without my knowledge by tying me down under the pretence of sex, and hitting me whenever I shut my eyes. That relationship didn't last much longer. Especially when the rapes started. Off topic. But yeah I can't ever watch that again). I can handle hearing it on reality TV (like shows like Intervention), if it's done into a toilet or trash can. Someone throwing up on the floor is panic attack inducing. The only way I can handle it in real life is if the person throws up in a toilet (ideal), trash can or bag (acceptable). On the floor, especially of a bus I was on? I'd be a panic attack and begging the driver to let me off the bus, even on the side of the highway. I used to buy a train pass to go to school because the bus to downtown made me panic because from one part of the suburbs until downtown, it didn't have ANY stops, in traffic sometimes for hours. I'd never sit in the first or last cars of the train. I always wanted two routes of escape in case someone started puking. And it happened more than once. I personally absolutely cannot be sick unless I am at home in my own bathroom. I've never been sick anywhere but a toilet/trash can, and never anywhere but at home or somewhere I was staying while sick as a kid (like my grandmother's house). I get massively carsick if I'm in a vehicle and not driving or in the passenger seat for any length of time over 40 mins, but I don't throw up. Normal people would. I dry heave and honestly can mind over matter it. I usually load up on Gravol before a family road trip and it's always in my purse... Along with my Valium (for panic attacks). A lot of emetophobic people have even been tested about this ability - they're given ipecac or another similar vomit-inducer, and can completely avoid throwing up. I've never tried and I never will, I deal mostly by avoiding situations where I'd have to deal with that (I don't drink, so no bars, if I go downtown I drive or take the train, and if I have to take a bus, it is one with regular stops so I can escape if necessary. Also? No theme parks with roller coasters that go upside down. I can handle Disney because if someone is sick, it's magically gone within seconds, and most of their rides are relatively tame). I'm rambling, but FYL, and if you aren't emetophobic, thank your lucky stars that your only reaction was "that is really disgusting, I will post an FML".

hey, it could have been worse! the guy could have stood up and and puked ALL over you.

I have been in that situation. All I can say is join the club.

Yup, fyl

Parkour!
