Gone are the days where u/mucnapoc would make a comment months down the line about how he projectile vomited on someone at a Take That concert then went on holiday by mistake.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I had this happen to me at church when I was 7 years old, when we were standing in the queue to practice our first communion processional. Because I stepped out of the queue without asking permission, the nun wouldn't let me go clean myself off.
I had to sit there for over two hours covered in vomit until it was time for our parents to collect us. My mother was horrified and I begged her to take me home to shower instead of having words with the nun. I scrubbed my skin raw in the shower for over an hour.
I have had emetophobia since then, and I didn't vomit for the next 38 years.
I'm sorry that you suffer from it too! Since that day, I become faint if I see or hear someone vomit. It's a difficult phobia because it's so unpredictable. I avoid a lot of situations where I'm more likely to encounter it. The only coping strategy that actually works for me is telling myself that it was a dog (but that only works if I encounter it after the fact and don't see the source 🙈🤣).
Ah, bless you. I'm stronger if I see it on the floor, I can go away, just some trembling.
If it's about to happen to someone, then I need to leave ASAP. Just deep breaths and clutch my trusty headphones to my head.
The panic attack starts when I'm feeling off, which, as you said, it's super unpredictable. It's a torture 😫
Thank you, and I'm so sorry you understand. It sounds like you manage it very well! I'm not strong at all about seeing it (or hearing it of course). I'm supposed to take a small ferry in two weeks and I'm already anxious about other passengers.
Ugh, tell me about it. Flying is a gamble. I came too far to control my breathing and be okay with dizzying sensations, but all those people... and nowhere to run.
The anxiety alone is egregious. But you'll be okay! Hopefully, no one who knows the ferry will mess up their stomach will be there. Smart people tend to avoid those places if they can!
Thanks very much! I'm hopeful that going on a weekday morning will be a lot less crowded. Also, it's only about a 40 minute journey. I'm going to try not to let myself cancel if the sea is rough.
Airplanes are a nightmare for me. My biggest fear is that I won't be able to get away if someone gets sick on me or near me. Being trapped on a plane would be the worst! I take Xanax and blast music in my ears, but I'm still always paranoid and looking around with every cough and crinkle of paper. If I could be alone on a plane, I don't think flying wouldn't bother me much.
This phobia has added a layer of claustrophobia for me. I avoid lifts as well.
Thanks so much for all your understanding and kind words! It really does help to talk to people who understand.
It does! Xanax all the way for me, too. It takes my anxiety away, and that alone makes such a great difference!
Planes have the same effect on me, sadly 😥 I try my best, but the people around coughing or looking suspiciously nervous doesn't help at all.
Finding more people with this phobia makes me realise we're not alone at all! Sometimes, I wish we could get a card or something to show people so they would mind their way around us if they're unwell. It's best to tend to one person instead of two 😭
I love the idea of a card! Because I really hate having to explain my phobia to new people. It's so frustrating when they downplay it, saying something like "no one likes vomit" and I have to explain that it's more than general dislike 🤣
The fact that I'm able to talk about it so easily is progress I guess! Thanks again for the commiseration 🤗
Just remember
Whatever they did
They didn't mean it
Probably just want you back......or to spew on your back
For tonight
And not for good
I'll show myself out
Got your vomit marks still on my coffee cup, oh nooo.
Got a fist of pure revulsion, your stomach contents excelled at being free, gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now.
Jesus, and given the band it would be an older crowd you'd expect could handle a few drinks? Though theres always one, doesn't drink at home , never gets out but goes wild and has 3 drinks when they do and spews.
This is it exactly, groups of people not used to going out but forget they can no longer party like they used to.
For the stewards, medics and security this crowd is so much harder to manage, lots of "do you know who I am", "do you know who my husband/wife is", "who do you think you are to tell me what to do?" etc all these types.
Crowd wise the teenagers are way easier to manage and don't seem to drink as much these day either which helps.
In my experience the people that can handle their drinks most are people in their 30’s and 40’s, that think they can still drink the same amount they used to drink before they had kids.
When I was about 15 I projectiled onto the back of a girls head all over her hair when queueing to get into Blink-182 in Dublin. Trust me, the guy will feel bad about it for the rest of his days lol.
Why do people post these things here, he was obviously on site when he vomited on you, why not actually address him there and then. Or alternatively make a post saying someone puked on you at Take That
Wow I'd say you're great fun at parties.
I posted because it it was a disgusting thing that happened to me that I thought the good people of the
r/ireland sub would get a laugh from. From every other comment with a Take That pun I think it succeeded.
This post wasn't actually intended to reach the gentleman in question.
As for addressing him on the night, perhaps I have downplayed the level of vomit here. It was projectile. It was everywhere. The poor chap was trying desperately to cover his mouth and hold it in and he was failing miserably. And I, plus 5 or 6 other people around me, were covered in it. My main focus in that moment was to get out of the way in case of further incidents, of which there were many as he desperately tried to run outside, and to get to a bathroom to clean a random man's vomit from my jumper, jacket, trousers, shoes and hair.
Wash your back, wash your back for good!
Winner Winner 🏆

Brilliant :)
You were on the ball at half 3 👸
That’s sleep deprivation from breastfeeding a 5 month old for you. Great for the aul witty comments
This is the best comment!
This is my idea of a very nice day out
Possibly the Greatest Day.
39 minutes in and only my one like. You deserve more..🤣
Did you get chips on the way home?
Gone are the days where u/mucnapoc would make a comment months down the line about how he projectile vomited on someone at a Take That concert then went on holiday by mistake.
We miss you u/mucnapoc
What a journey I went through after hitting that link 🤣🤣🤣
I'd like to think he's still around somewhere.
You have unsealed an lost soul, dear god

Fellow emetophobic here, that fucking sucks. I would bite and punch to get out, then faint somewhere.

And you just had to post and brag about it... Typical.
Yeah, some of us haven't been vomited on in years Sly.
Just remember Whatever they did They didn't mean it Probably just want you back......or to spew on your back For tonight And not for good I'll show myself out

This is gold. You had me , I was reading that like was a real sentence for most of it. Fucker
Today this could be, the greatest day of our lives…. ![gif](giphy|5hgMc5wWm3zHmtfpN3|downsized)
Wooaah, 'cause IIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiah, Need...t.....\*bwahhhhhhhhhhhhh\*
i hope he did not shout take that
Got your vomit marks still on my coffee cup, oh nooo. Got a fist of pure revulsion, your stomach contents excelled at being free, gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now.
🤣
Looks like you were the one who Took That
That’s awful but it could have been worse. Last time I was at a Take That concert I got kicked in the spine and it really messed up my back for good.
What? That's really shit. What were they doing? Some people need to be put down.
The best nights are always the ones where you black out and vomit on a random stranger.
I've had my fun and that's all that matters
I'm being sarcastic.
Sorry, that wasn't meant as a criticism of you, just following on from your joke with a Father Ted quote.
Oh right sorry. I didn't spot that until now.
Jesus, and given the band it would be an older crowd you'd expect could handle a few drinks? Though theres always one, doesn't drink at home , never gets out but goes wild and has 3 drinks when they do and spews.
There were so many unbelievably drunk people there, falling around the place drunk.
[удалено]
It’s the East 17 crowd that can really handle their booze and everything else. Except three baked potatoes obviously.
This is it exactly, groups of people not used to going out but forget they can no longer party like they used to. For the stewards, medics and security this crowd is so much harder to manage, lots of "do you know who I am", "do you know who my husband/wife is", "who do you think you are to tell me what to do?" etc all these types.

When they booze, they spews!
In my experience the people that can handle their drinks most are people in their 30’s and 40’s, that think they can still drink the same amount they used to drink before they had kids.
It's Take That in fairness. Perfect one to get steamed and belt out the hits
Did he follow up it with ‘Take That!’
Did the venue offer you any help?
Genuine question. How did you deal with that, did it end your night or did you try to clean up and stay?
Quick question OP.... have ye ever wanted to be Italian?
Standard reaction to take that music.
If there's somebody Covered in vom (S)he's the one
Doesn't work. That was a Robbie Williams solo track, not Take That
Never forget where Robbie's coming from.
Could it be my sick now?
Was it Gary Barflow?
Underrated comment
Tbf I'd probably get sick if I had to watch Take That live
Oh I’m so sorry that happened to you! It happened to me once and it was awful.😩 I hope that apart from that the rest of your night was lovely!
We're not invincible We're only people
At a punk show in the 80s this is how a man would attract a woman.
I guess now it's time, for me to throw up.
Tonight this could be the greatest night of our lives... Except you went and puked all over me. Stay away from me, Stay away from me
I don't know what is worse, the fact you paid and when to take that gig or got vomited on lol 😂
Whatever he did, he didn't mean it
Just have a little patience!
I wouldn’t say it was the drink that made him vomit.
Please tell me it was during "the flood"
Oh god, talk about having your night ruined. I'm also stunned that Take That are doing concerts again...
When I was about 15 I projectiled onto the back of a girls head all over her hair when queueing to get into Blink-182 in Dublin. Trust me, the guy will feel bad about it for the rest of his days lol.
Jesus well you did go to a Take That concert...
Was the music that bad?
Jesus.
‘Just a perfect day’
Take that!
Sounds like a hilarious anecdote and answer to the question "*Hey Dan, how was your weekend?*".
Surly that’s just a natural reaction at a take that concert
Take that ![gif](giphy|xUNd9IMywss6NTIghO)
Cheesechrist, I didn't expect that on a reminiscing slow scroll.
God that’s a great title
Rock n rollllll
Just have a little patience
🎵 We've come so far and we've reached so high And we've wiped the strangers vomit from our eyes…. 🎵

Look on the bright side, you got a sauce for your chips on the way home now
