Bottoms Up or Out: Let's Talk About the Room Nobody Mentions
Let's talk about the room nobody discusses at dinner parties—but everyone has stories about.
You know the one. The gas station bathroom in the middle of nowhere. The porta-potty incident at the music festival. That time you walked into the wrong restroom. The door that wouldn't lock. The automatic flush with a mind of its own.
We've all been there. We've all had that moment of panic, confusion, or pure mortification. And you know what? Those stories are comedy gold.
Join Us for "Bottoms Up or Out"
This month, Let Me Tell Ya! Story Swap is going where few story swaps dare to venture: funny bathroom stories. That's right—an entire evening dedicated to awkward encounters, embarrassing mishaps, and unforgettable moments in the loo.
We're looking for your most outrageous tales:
Wrong bathroom mishaps
Foreign facilities that baffled you
Unexpected encounters with strangers
Technology betrayals at the worst possible moment
The time nature called with terrible timing
Plumbing disasters and near-disasters
Any moment that made you think, "I can never speak of this again"
Until now.

What to Expect
Grab your favorite beverage, and prepare to laugh until you cry. Our storytellers will have you in stitches as they recount their most unforgettable moments behind closed doors (or doors that should have stayed closed).
Think you don't have a bathroom story? Think harder. That executive restroom incident. Your first apartment's mysterious plumbing. The language barrier in Tokyo. The lock that failed you. The overconfident public restroom DJ who didn't realize they had an audience.
These are the stories that bond us, that remind us we're all beautifully, awkwardly human. They're the tales we whisper to close friends, the ones that get funnier with time, the moments that seemed catastrophic at the time but now? Pure entertainment.
Why Share Your Story?
Because somewhere out there, someone needs to know they're not alone. Someone needs to hear that yes, other people have accidentally walked in on a company executive. That yes, other people have experienced the horror of a toilet that wouldn't stop flushing. That yes, we've all misjudged a bathroom situation at least once in our lives.
Plus, there's something incredibly liberating about taking that mortifying moment and transforming it into comedy. It's therapy. It's catharsis. It's community.
Ready to Share?
So dust off that memory you've been keeping in the vault. That story you tell at parties that always gets a laugh. That moment you swore you'd never speak of again.
It's time. Join us online, bring your sense of humor, and leave your shame at the door. Whether you're a seasoned storyteller or a first-timer, we want to hear from you. No story is too embarrassing (that's kind of the point), and no mishap is too small.
See you there—just maybe not in the bathroom.
Let Me Tell Ya! Story Swap is a monthly virtual gathering where real people share real stories. No scripts, no rehearsals—just authentic, hilarious, and sometimes touching tales from everyday life.
