There are certain things you usually don't talk about - on social media or otherwise. And one of those is Mr Hanky.
What goes on in the bathroom, stays in the bathroom. At least it maybe it should?
Not so for a 19-year-old Torontonian, whose epic "number two" story went viral after she overshared on Twitter.
Picture it. You're on a first date with a guy at his place. It's going swimmingly until you need the bathroom.
You can't hold it. You can't wait. So you relieve yourself, but the toilet won't flush.
What's a girl to do with the deposit? Well, if you're Makela, aka “@_blotty” (whose full identity will no doubt be exposed in a matter of time) you mummify that thing in toilet paper and pop the poop in your purse for safekeeping.
Then you calmly return to kissing your date on the couch, of course.
But the story doesn't stop there.
Makela texted an SOS to her sister. She made return visits to the bathroom and repeat attempts to flush.
By the grace of God, it worked. The poo flushed. I was free. I was in the clear. Everything was going to be okay. I survived.I am a survivor

What you don't expect is to become an overnight Twitter celebrity, with people hailing you a hero and asking for your autograph.
Although Makela seemed to be okay with the attention - whipping off a request to be a guest on Ellen and setting up a Pay Pal purse fund - she insists she's not sh*tting anyone.
“I didn’t make it up. If I wanted to do something for attention I wouldn’t pick something SO embarrassing.”
Incredibly, her date isn't a big social media user, and so far appears oblivious to her new found notoriety.
“Poop story aside, I’m like, I don’t know if I want to see him again,” said Makela, though she's had many messages from men clogging her inbox, saying her she "can poop in their house.”
Who knows, maybe she'll find herself a nice plumber, and they'll live happily ever after in a house with the clearest pipes going.
