To be a bit freaked out about this mystery poo?

We got home after being out all day and I went upstairs and found a poo in the toilet. When I was back downstairs I asked dp if he could check next time to make sure his poo had been flushed away. Dp said it wasn’t his and that when he had been for a wee earlier (he came in to get spare clothes for ds and we stayed in the car) there had been nothing in the toilet.
So where has this mystery poo come from? We were out for 4/5 hours after he had gone back in earlier in the day.

Agent or landlord.

We can’t even get up there 😬

Have you ever wondered whyyyyy???😱

Dp is embraced his poo didn't flush and denied it? 😂

I would be setting up a hidden camera

I had similar issues. Think dirty toilet but my house was empty as I lived elsewhere and was either about to rent or getting the property back before moving back in. I suspected the estate agent got caught short but it was never proved.

I used to get a weird feeling someone was coming in my place- heating kept being turned down. I lived alone. There was an adjoining door to another property. Apparently no-one had the key. I just knew someone was using my bathroom. I was going to be a bridesmaid and the bride hung the dress over the door. We came back and it was trapped in the locked door. Person on other side swore they didn't have a key and had never been in. They had. I was most worried as I couldn't get the dress out of the door at the time.

It was a difficult time in my life and I'd even seen a consultant psychiatrist thinking I was paranoid before this happened (thankfully, psychiatrist didnt diagnose anything and said I was having a normal response to a relationship breakdown).

Was so lucky I had the bride with me who put the dress up there and then saw it locked in the door and then magically not locked in the door after I'd confronted the neighbour. This could have really tipped me over the edge otherwise! I moved out and was never "paranoid" again.

So yeah, moral of story. Check your attic ESPECIALLY if there isn't a key pr you're terraced or semi-detached. Put gaffer tape round it or something.

Oh and even after this, I bet it was just your partner or a stuck poo/dodgy flush. Unless there's other things... hmmmm.

What??!!
How could I have missed that one?!

There was a Netflix show like this...people living secretly in attic.

Has anyone got a spare key?
Listen to James Acaster's Scrapes!

What kind of front and back doors? If they're uPVC with a lock that's brass or silver and protrudes a little front and back, they're very easy to change. Yale or mortice a little trickier.
Coloured masking tape on the loft door, so that someone can't be up there without you being able to spot the change.
In my brother's house, you could walk the length of the terrace in the loft as the party walls didn't reach the full pitch of the roof.

Landlord caught short I bet. I'd get a camera.

@NotSoHotMess24 Aw what a clever cat! Didn't she have a litter tray though?

Lol no. I literally hadn't even thought about her not having one until now! Maybe my mum thought they were gross or something.

Surely it's your dp he just doesn't want to admit it?

Gas lighting. @firefly1987 has a point.

Greytulips · 27/07/2024 00:51

GP had something similar, turns out a ‘friend’ would go to her home and put her heating on etc whilst she was out for the day to save his own heating bill! That soon stopped.

My mum used to have a cat, which if it couldn't get out (there was no cat flap), would poop right next to the toilet. Obviously it had figured out that was the "correct place"... Do you have pets which are particularly good at balancing?

I remember this happening to someone at work. Mystery crap in the toilet was The Beginning. Change the locks.

Hope it is not anyone phrogging could have got in through next door or have you had any keys cut lately? It does sound a bit careless if they wanted to keep it hidden. Post like this going back a while things moved in the house dog spooked upstairs I. think they even had ring cameras but it showed nobody coming in and out.

Was there no tissue in there with it? Someone’s done a dump and run?!
