AIBU to expect air freshener in toilets when visiting friends?

@Thatsalineallright

your shit will still stink. Especially as an ‘enthusiastic meat eater’

@Anarchy99

trailing remnants of dog shit around my house? Not for me. But you do you

We don't have air freshener in our toilet.

I use Purdy & Figg drops to make the bathroom smell nice daily but I don't keep them in the bathroom

we also don't have a toilet brush!

No idea - it’s a listed building so that might be it. Or it might be that there was one and it stopped working so it was taken out. It’s not something anyone gets het up about tbh.

Perhaps some people dont like spraying or using yucky chemicals around.

Nor me 😬 And we keep our shoes on in the house 🤣

Are you saying your shit doesn’t smell of anything?

People saying theirs doesn’t because they are veggie - I spent a weekend with a group of vegans and I can attest to the fact their shit was toxic!

I don’t think anyone actually believes having an air wick is posh.

I am working class and I roll my eyes at shoes off households!

Are you just winding us all up, op? 😂

@Yabbadabbadooooooo i agree with this. I remember being told air freshener was common.

I am pretty sure Ricky Tomlinson uses it liberally after a big poo in The Royal Family.

It’s a class thing. The working class have air fresheners and take their shoes off inside. The upper middle class look down on air freshener and shoes-off houses. Bit of a generalisation but it’s a bit Hyacinth Bucket to have an airwick and think it’s posh! I have a well to do friend who grew up in a stately home, and she broke up with a very lovely man the first time she went to his house because he had an air freshener in his bathroom. That was the only reason. It always stuck in my mind as a crazy reason to break up with a lovely man, especially as she really liked him, but it was so ingrained in her psyche that air fresheners are just naff, she couldn’t get over it! Crazy example, but shows the class divide.

In the same, the scent just mixes in with the poo smell

Drink more water if your urine smells that bad

My kitchen is next door to the bathroom/toilet. This is not an unknown phenomenon.

I'm an enthusiastic meat eater and am wondering the same. I have never had any problems with smell unless ill. OP, maybe work on your gut microbiome?

Only about a quarter of UK homes have more than one bathroom.
The norm is therefore still one.

I’m a huge advocate for change regarding the environment but lighting a match takes seconds; the smell of the match obliterates the stink of shit and the match smell/‘fumes’ go in seconds too. Surely much better for the environment than pointless chemicals?

And btw, I detest the smell of log burners/fire pits et al. Lighting a match is fast and effective.

carry your own? Striking a match works!

I know it is hard to understand but I dont like toilet smells either i just would rather not have them covered up by revoltong air fresheners

I cant beleive this surprises people

I'm not sure which is worse for the environment. A spray or putting bleach down the toilet. In terms of smell they’re both quite unpleasant.
On a tangent, ‘poop’ really annoys me. Not a word I’ve ever used & when my kids were young it wasn’t a word we’d have used then.

4 bed house. Family bathroom and shower en-suite upstairs. Loo and sink downstairs. So 3 toilets in total.
Pretty average where I am. (Mostly built in the last 20 years).

That actually seems a shame, in all honesty. I always assuned that the reason poo smells is so that parents receive a clear prompt as to when the next major nappy change is required... but sadly, it just keeps right on a-stinking for the next however many decades until we die!

If there's anybody whose poo there is an actual benefit to copping a big whiff of, it's a baby!

My bil is a vegan and he’s still a dirty arsed cunt (albeit slightly less of one since he became one). I’ve been veggie for over 30 years and mine still have a smell. Unless it’s a ghost poo it’s gonna have a whiff about it whether you can smell it yourself or not.

Wait, why are you sitting around in the shitter having a chat? That's just weird 🤣🤣
