2 things:
1) I'm eating lunch- leftover cheeseburger from last night's dinner. I was 2-3 bites in when I take a bite and as I'm pulling the burger away from my mouth to detach the bite from the burger, nothing happens. There is a hard piece of something (gristle? connective tissue?) that will.not.detach. Ew ew ew! I already don't like gristle in meat, but in my current, ::ahem:: (TMI alert!) state of menses, it was ALL I could do to not hurl what little I had eaten back up all over my desk. I literally sat still for like 5 straight minutes until I felt I could continue. Not good.
2) I go to the restroom. We have toilets equipped with auto flush. After finishing up, I'm getting my clothes arranged back to my liking and the toilet flushes, splashing a single drop of toilet water UNDER MY FREAKING LIP. For a germaphobe such as myself this is BAD NEWS anyway. For a queasy germaphobe who is already struggling to keep her lunch down from the yuckiness she bit down on in her cheeseburger, this was a freaking disaster. I booked it to the sink where I frantically soaped up my hands and scrubbed that spot for a solid 10 seconds.
Oy.

Honey I don't think you pissed anyone off. I think it's the other way around. Aunt Flow pissed you off. 
I'll throw chocolate and air hugs from a distance.
It'll get better.

Thanks girl.
I think I severely misrepresented the size of the THING in my burger in my OP. After I had recovered sufficiently I kinda levered it out with a fork. It was the size of one of those bouncy balls you get out of the 50 cent machines at the grocery store? Yeah. I pulled that out of my burger. It was disgusting.
I need pizza and copious, obscene amounts of chocolate. Preferably hand delivered by bestie or SO, both of whom live too far away to deal with my drama today.
::sigh::

Oh abby I feel for you! I would have bleached my entire face after the toilet incident.
Sending virtual pizza and chocolate (and some wine, too!)

Gristle in meat doesn't bother me, but I cannot eat chicken on the bone because I get freaked out if there's anything remotely pink (ie raw looking).
The toilet water though....OMG!!! And in a public bathroom?!!! Gag reflex activated!!!!

Thanks guys. I am drowning my sorrows in greasy Marcos pizza. I'll either have ice cream or cookies later.
And sadcat I LOVE the idea of wine! Bring some over!

I hope you had BOTH ice cream AND cookies.
My gag reflex worked overtime reading your post.

Yeah. I did. 
It was so gross. Sorry about triggering your gag reflex.
