Anyone familiar with the phenomenon known as "dry heaves"? I became quite acquainted with that experience over the next 30 minutes or so, to the extent I had ZERO strength in my body, such that I could barely lift my eyelids.
(but wait, there's more)
Anyway, as I finally begin to summon the strength to move, and raise up to one foot, ready to go back out into frightening New Millenia "woo-hoo"s, some dude busts through the door, mid-spew, getting it all over the floor (carpeted, a bit odd for a bathroom) as well as MYSELF.
So now, I'm leaving the bathroom at the dawn of the twenty-first century, having finally recovered from being incredibly sick, completely covered in SOMEONE ELSE'S vomit.
The host, my boy Max, let me where some of his ill-fitting close, made me a sandwich, and said "dude, you've had a shitty night" as he proceeded to fire up the very thing that would put my millenia back on the right track.
"Party like it's 1999" indeed.

"Ohmigod! I'm going blind! Help!"

That and vomiting out of a moving car on my birthday two years ago (a friend was driving). Classic!

When I was 6 years old, I was sick on the platform next to the doors of the bus, so everyone who got on/off had to jump over it. But i'm pretty proud of that one.

A week or so ago, I was driving to that patient's house and I started coughing. It got worse and worse while I was there--I was coughing so hard that I could just about feel my larynx ripping apart. (I had to keep telling him and his wife, "No, I'm not sick! I'm not going to make you sick, I promise you!") Finally, I was stepping into my car afterwards and I suddenly threw up, without warning or nausea, onto the sidewalk. On the way home, I threw up a few more times, also without nausea or feeling bad afterwards. It was just like it was just flowing out of me. I was coughing a day or two afterwards (no more vomiting, though), and now I feel fine. I still don't know what happened.

A friend witnessed someone attempting to puke throw the tiny ventilation window on a train - only for the speed of the train to conspire to project all her vom back into the carriage and all over her friends.

As a side offering: my friend Camilla once threw up at the bottom of a tube escalator, slipped in it and, due to the motion of the escalator, being very drunk and very high heels, could not get up. She just kept going round in her own vomit. This being London, people just stepped over her.

I have several other amusing tales of regurgitation from college (out the window, on the bed, at parties) and language training (at the bar, outside the bar, stop the taxi I have to urk, I'll be subtle and puke in this trashcan, just one moment while I hide my head under the table and make revolting noises) but that one crowns them all. Strangely enough since coming to MD I've only yarfed on two occasions, neither of which involved mixing booze (my old standby).
I have never had the pleasure of sitting in my own bile, however. That's a winner.

You see, I get carsick very very easily. A five-minute drive through moderately hilly roads or stop-and-start traffic can give me a sickening headache. During one multi-hour car-ride from Long Island to West Massachusetts, I sat in the back of the car -- the back of the car being much worse than the front when it come to experiencing motion sickness -- because my older brother would turn into an obnoxious (and potentially dangerous) little shit if not given the front seat all to himself. So I gradually got more and more naseauous until I couldn't keep it down any longer. So I opened the car window and threw up not once but twice when the car was in motion, and on a highway at that.
I'm convinced my mom completey made this up, but she says that the puke landed on a guy riding a hog. She says he rode up to the window, took a look at the kids in the car, and then retreated, once he figured out whoever puked on him didn't do so on purpose.

People were walking over the stain for days afterwards.
