To think pooing in the shower is disgusting

According to my DD who read an article somewhere, over 1 in 10 people poo in the shower! Can this actually be true? Aside from being disgusted by this, I am intrigued as to what happens to it afterwards. Surely it would take a lot of effect to get it down the plug hole? 🤣

Couldn't they get the person thrown off their course? Or at least evicted from the accommodation?

I wasn’t involved in the student side of things, only the campus services side (who managed the cleaners) so I don’t know what was done about the students. It would have been reported to the Hall management. I doubt whether they were evicted from the halls, it’s not easy for to evict students, and it’s even less likely they were thrown off the course- course staff are not very interested in students’ bad behaviour outside the teaching day.
It was more than one student too. I wouldn’t say it was common but it’s something that happens, this wasn’t a one-off.

Sad to say you are wrong. We have a woman at our gym who is doing it regularly. Trouble is staff are having trouble working out who it is.

It could be a woman or it could be a man sneaking in and getting off on knowing he's subjected women to his literal shit and having to clean it up.

MillyMollyMandHey · 27/09/2024 22:27

The showers on the office floor had to be closed down as someone/people kept shitting on the floors. It's absolutely disgusting. It was deemed too sensitive to approach the people doing it for HR reasons, so they were just closed. Vile.

I absolutely believe that one in ten men do this.

Women, I doubt it, because we all know who cleans up the most shit in the world, don't we?

Jesus Christ why did I click on this?
My neighbour told me her partner did it and used his toes to poke it down. Complete boke. One of those situations you find yourself chatting over a lager and then someone gets drunk and rather honest. Too honest. Every time you see them your brain thinks and that person pokes shit down the shower drain.
This isn't shower related but it reminds me of when in France on holiday someone shat in the pool and the staff went absolutely mental, there may as well have been air raid sirens. It's good they were on it but they looked manic. We were screamed at to leave the pool and they had a special net on a long pole. Bleach sprays at the ready and hoses. Quite magnificent how they handled the situation.
In the UK how long would it take for staff to realise 🤔? In Greece there was a massive log on the beach which I stepped over in time. It was very long. I hate poo.

Haha this is very funny. I agree, poo really is awful stuff. I'm genuinely shocked that anybody shits in the shower but clearly lots do?!

I'd rather run 100 meters on a Lego track than " waffle stomp " my own shit.

Definitely !!

Maviz · 27/09/2024 22:06

Oh come on. You'd have to manually push it down the plug hole for a start unless you had diarrhoea.

A wee is just about acceptable but a poo, no.

I’m not really sure you can get much lower than ‘waffle stomping’ to be honest !!🤮

Hmph. Maybe your DD read this report https://waterfilterguru.com/american-showering-habits/ . They interviewed 1,000 Americans about their showering habits, but the report does not reveal where they found their participants. Perhaps they were an odd bunch... apparently 12% of them had also had a snack in the shower, which sounds equally messy. It is not statistically significant, anyway, so means almost nothing.

Oh my gosh I hope not, that's grim

AlannaOfTrebond · 27/09/2024 18:55

I'm not sure about 10%, but it most definitely happens.

I used to work on a campsite for international students and finding shit in the showers was not a rare occurrence. It wasn't remnants that someone had tried to wash away either, they had been proudly and intentionally left for the next person to find.

FictionalCharacter · 27/09/2024 17:15

Oh yes they knew who was doing it in the bedrooms. Unfortunately they were not allowed to just leave it there and they weren’t able to make them remove it.

Friend works in a posh hotel and says men regularly leave a turd in the shower. Sometimes they pop back to the room to 'accidentally' find her cleaning it up. Apparently it's a thing.

Please tell me it gets reported to management and these disgusting men get a lifetime ban from ever staying in that hotel (or hotel chain) ever again?

BiscuitlyBoyle · 27/09/2024 17:44

I wondered why men took so long having a shit. It’s clearly because the are pushing down the drain.

MasterBeth · 27/09/2024 17:43

Of course IT HAPPENS. But of course IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO 10% OF PEOPLE.

My toddler did a giant poo in the shower once when we were camping. It was a very smelly and difficult process showering the toddlerpoo down the plughole, would not like to imagine how much worse a grown adults would be. Weirdos.

Why didn’t you pick it up and Chuck it in the loo?

Someone used to poo in the sink at my work. No one ever found out who it was.... even though the cubicle opened onto a busy stairwell.

MurdoMunro · 27/09/2024 17:23

So the man who did a poo in the sink knew the ladies (maybe he would say ‘girls’) who would have to clean it up knew who he was but were forced to do it anyway. Perfect. That’s one for the bank.

Whatafustercluck · 27/09/2024 14:33

If they're shitting in the sinks in their bedrooms then it's easy to identify the culprit. I'd be leaving it there till they returned and making them remove it without gloves. Revolting.
