I just sign a few more Executive Orders and then head for the golf course.

Normal folks would call it a day, but some of them keep posting on Truth Social.
Depends...
Le mot juste. Bravo.
shits pants
Continues about his day with shit in his pants
It depends on the severity.
- If you are touching cloth, then it is a shart and should be relatively well contained. You just need to clean-up and perhaps discreetly dispose of your undercrackers.
- If you are touching socks, then the world has dropped out of your bottom and is pretty disastrous as everything is contaminated. You also have a larger problem as this would suggest you have food poisoning or some kind of illness and this is just the start of your problems. When I was in hospital the guy opposite me got C. difficile and the result was unexpected and borderline volcanic - that wasn't just a bad day, it was a bad week.
Day over? But we still need to solve the mystery of who shit in my pants!
I used to have a roommate who could shit in my pants from across the room. It was quite the trick.
Days over, no coming back from that. Time for a long shower, fresh clothes, and go back to bed. Probably not sleep, because I'll be dealing with embarrassment and flashbacks to graduating high school.
My only comfort still remains that I was not alone that day. Several of us got awful cases of food poisoning.
You shat yourself at graduation?
Same day, after the event at the school, thankfully, but I was with several fellow graduates when it happened. There was an extremely popular steakhouse we all went to with our families, and every one of us who ordered the signature steak ended up getting food poisoning, and several of us ended up getting caught very suddenly by it.
I'm kind of surprised by how many people have an answer for this already considered. I don't think this is something I've had to consider since primary school.
I'd probably consider the day over just because I would be worried by whatever medical condition led me to shit my pants out of nowhere.
If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your week or is your week over?
If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your month or is your month over?
If you shit your pants, do you keep going with your life or is your life over?
I clean up and do whatever I still feel like. The arbitrary border of "day" means nothing to me, same as any other arbitrary border.
I think it refers to being being out at work, or at a major event.
If I shit myself at work, I'm going home. I'm not coming back, either.
If I'm out hiking, same again.
If i'm running errands, I might have to go back out to finish them. The groceries aren't gonna buy themselves, and now I really have to do the laundry.
I shit my pants once. I got rid of my ass after that
Before noon? Yeah take a shower and get back to it. Any time in the afternoon; yeah fuck that I'm going home and smoking a bowl.
I am worried by how many people in this thread shit their pants often enough to be able to answer the question.
As someone with Crohn's disease, this is a normal day. Honestly, I'd be feeling off until I shit my pants.
The day is done. Unless you are operating, driving a truck or belaying someone. Its over. Go home and change
Really depends on what I am doing. Whatever I was previously doing has been been put on an indefinite pause until I can get new clothes and probably take a shower. But I have kids, so the day must go on.
Im probably too sick to continue my day
My boss at the restaurant doesn't care.
Health inspector might.
If it's before noon, it's salvageable. If it's afternoon, probably not. It also depends on how much. If it was a very minor shart (1ml), that's a bit different than actually shitting your pants, imo.
If it's the latter, it may be time to see a doctor.
Yeh I think the phrase "shit your pants" definitely implies like the same account of piop that you would have dumped in the toilet in a deliberate manner, except in your pants and most likely accidentally.
I keep a spare change of clothes in my office for exactly this reason
Depends on your plans for the day. If you're heading down to the swimming pool then everything might just work itself out.
Restock, reload, recover.
Day's over. I work in food service, and any symptoms of a GI illness are cause for a sick day as a matter of public safety.
The rest of the day is going to stink regardless.
I mean if you have any choice in the matter it's obviously time to go home.
Just depends on reactions. If no one says anything I just go with it. If 5+ people say something I fix it. If 1-5 people say something they're probably outliers.
There is a infamous ex kgb guy called Pootin Pants for that reason.
I guess depends on the reason. If it's just a one off accident then I'd just put the dirtied clothes in the laundry (after a preliminary shit removal with just water), shower, and wash my clothes properly. But if I'm shitting myself it might be food poisoning in which case I am staying home, possibly glued to the toilet seat, and/or going to hospital if it's serious enough.
I've noped out on entire office days before where I've been "digestively energetic" so to speak. I'm not putting myself or coworkers through that at the office.
I double down and ask friends to swap pants with me.
First thing in the morning in college? Clean everything up, start over, get on with the rest of the day after missing half of the first class.
During the day at work? Day's over, go home.
Reminds me of something I read once. If you want to get out of work. Like you're at work, and you really really don't want to be there. You can get out with 4 words. You swallow your pride, walk into your bosses office, and proclaim "I shit my pants"
You will have the rest of the day off.
Pro move is to shit your pants so you don't even have to lie about it.
I just told my boss that I had to leave, offering no explanation, and he said "OK." He didn't need to know that I shit my pants. Maybe he inferred it.
Shit happens.
