No. not me. ever.;)
A buddy of mine puked out the window of his '64 Nova while driving 60 on the freeway. I was the passenger next to him and had my window open and seemed to get bathed in it. I think I was still in high school, because it is a happy memory

Hilarious topic.
Guilty as charged on a lame ass 25' long .9 at Rubidoux. Got the top, set up the belay and hurled. No climbers were struck by the objective hazard.
Now BC skiing in the sierra is a different subject. Nothing like going from sea level to 10k+ in 12 hours with a winter pack. I've fed more than a few scavengers up there.
Now the real question is who has pooped in their pants on a climb? I'm not telling.
Seems there is a common denominator here.

Hmm. Don't know that I can top Dingus.
Some fair number of years ago a friend and I went to do Sahara Terror on Tahquitz. I think it was summer as I remember it being roughly as hot as the Sahara by the time we topped out. And we had run out of water.
To make matters worse, we lost the trail on the walk-off and wandered around for considerably longer than we should have.
By the time we got back to the car, we were both severely dehydrated and probably experiencing heat exhaustion as well. No water at the car, so in to town we went for relief.
I think I bought one of the gallon sized bottles of green Gatorade and managed to drink most of it down in one go right outside the store.
Unfortunately, my dehydrated/overheated system was not prepared to deal with that much cold liquid that quickly. So moments after it went down, it came straight back up in a neon green fountain. Right in front of a crowd of locals and tourists in the street. Who given my haggard state, no doubt thought I was in the middle of a drunken bender.

We were racking up to climb something at Taquitz. My partner whips out these foul smelling energy bars. They had that vitamin smell about them. He had a chaser of some super drink. I probably ate a snickers bar. Luckily I was leading and halfway up a pitch he starts whining. He gets to the belay and starts hurling. I scrambled to get the rope out of the way.
That partner had a history of embarrassing moments. He couldn't make a move and threw an actual tantrum once with so much drama that climbers on another route wanted to know if we needed help.

During the summer of 1990, I climbed Erect Direction at the Gunks with Alf or Alfie as I always knew him. We climbed the first two pitches without issue but then Alfie started having an imaginary conversation with his mom and I wasn't sure if he was putting one over on me or not. I tend to think he was just doing it for show at that time.
I started up the third 5.9+ pitch which overhangs a bit and got pretty worked until I managed to pull into a sort of alcove. I was hyperventilating and, sure enough, let fly well clear of a cackling Alfie until I could pull it together enough to either set the belay there or finish the pitch, I can't remember which.
I think that's the only time I got sick on a route not at altitude.

Never puked before or on a climb...
But I did puke a lot at a party at a whitewater kayaking festival. Some guy was filming me puking. He said he was making a movie, and was going to match up people's class 5 kayaking descents with video of them partying the night before.
Interesting concept.
The next day I dislocated my shoulder (for the 15th time) on the second class 5 rapid.

Amaretto + lemonade@altitude. Not a good mix.
Another time, I was really pushing it going over Sheperds Pass. Made it to the top of the pass, and then..............
