This didn't happen to me but it still freaked me out a little. I was on the way out to meet a friend when I received a phone call from her. She told me to bring an extra t-shirt or jacket out and meet her at the handicapped toilet near her work place. Turns out that she was super engorged and did not bring her pump out with her. She was only working for a few hours then and thought that she could go through the day without lugging her pump. So she planned to hand express her milk into some storage bags (lucky she had those) and dispose of them. The thing is, she decided that THAT DAY was the day to try hand expressing for the first time, in a public bathroom. She ended up squirting all over her top. She was in pain, distressed and her clothes were ruined when I finally found her. We cancelled our plans and went to her place to lament (and laugh) over what happened. Since then, she does not go anywhere without her breast pump.
