Had the shits so bad and ran from my bedroom with knees together "GUY" and dropped my pajama bottoms and sat, seat was up and I instantly leaned forward so the rim was using my thighs to balance on so it's not a death sentence and I never hit water just cold cold rim of toilet. I also would not have made it if I noticed the seat and put it down first so it all worked out for the best and I got this nice story as a consolation prize. :)
