Stop shitting in my bog!

115 replies

stopshittinginmybog · 19/08/2011 15:27

My parents visit me around once a week and whenever they come to see me and the kids they almost always go for a dump in my toilet and stink the place out.

Am I being unreasonable in wanting them to shit in their own toilet and not in mine? I mean I KNOW people have to go, but every bloody time they come here they go and do the biggest, stinkiest shits.

Leave my bog alone and shit in your own! :(

Does anyone remember Izal toilet paper? I wonder if you can still get it. My DM used to put it in the outside loo at the house where I grew up (we did also have an indoors bathroom!), as we had a problem with the postman/dustman/delivery people etc just popping in to use it. That solved the problem, along with the colony of spiders that lived in there :o.

But on a serious note, is it really every visit? Do your parents have a longish journey to get to you? I'd just put up with it, and have a scented candle and one of those odour neutraliser sprays in there.

My loo exploded last week. You don't know how lucky you are, I'd give anything to have a guest drop a big stinky turd in it now Sad

And open the window before they come.That'll make it draughty so they hurry up and also disperse the smell.

Yanbu. I never use other people's toilets unless for a wee. Just don't like it. And don't like people using mine for number twos! My brother always leaves the toilet roll on the floor in front of the toilet... Bizarre.

My ex used to come to my home in the early days after the split, and spend half an hour in my loo having a crap. I got so mad I told him to crap before he came and stop being so disrepectful to stink out my home. He only drove a matter of twenty minutes to get here. Didn't take long until I kicked him out altogether.

I don't know what to say when it is your parents, but I can see it is really annoying.

muminthemiddle · 19/08/2011 18:18

Stopshitting this has really cheered me up. Sorry it's at your expense. I was going to post what AnotherJaffaCake has said and use the shiny paper we had at infant school. Either open the window very wide, preferably so the shitters can be seen by passer bys or shut it so they have to suffer their own smell. YANBU I never poo in anyone elses bathroom.

Fiendishlie · 19/08/2011 18:57

some people are so regular they go at the same time every day... do they always visit at the same time? If so, invite them at a different time of day.

pigletmania · 19/08/2011 18:58

YABU op, would you like them to shit on your couch or in their pants Hmm. why don't you leave some air freshner about

MrsChemist · 19/08/2011 19:01

YABU, they could be quite regular and always happen to visit at pooing time.

My Dad used to do this. He'd deliberately save it up then use our downstairs to stink us out cause he thought it was funny. Hed also put my bog roll on the wrong way round to wind me up!

Honeydragon · 19/08/2011 19:09

Remind me not to visit your house, maybe it's your coffee and biscuits Grin

Digestives my arse ...literally

LostInTheWoods · 19/08/2011 19:24

How terrible for you.

I bet they eat meals in the dining room, sit and chat in the sitting room and walk through the corridors too!

OOpps my son has just read the title of this thread and burst out laughing.

skorpion · 19/08/2011 19:38

Changing that's not used toilet roll, is it? That would be bizarre. And gross...

A few years back we went to view a house, The owner wasn't there but he/she had obviously just gone for a stinker before we arrived. Needless to say we didn't buy the house

devonshiredumpling · 19/08/2011 19:38

i misread this as in my BAG

MissusTulip · 19/08/2011 19:53

My dad does horrendously mingingly stenching poos. Last time I was home for a visit I was suffering from v bad morning sickness and made the mistake of wandering in for a morning pee after his morning evacuation. nearly ruptured myself retching, twas only the thought of going headfirst at the loo where the smell was coming from stopped me from vomming, just ran out instead. That was with air freshener and the window open to the good country air Grin. I was tempted to ask him to poo in their outside loo for the duration of my visit... but I just was a bit more wary of wandering blythely into the toilet after daddy dearest!

he has unleashed the beast in my loo too, in the downstairs one with no window. While I still had morning sickness, but tbh it made DH retch too.

OP no helpful ideas, if I raised it with my dad he would probably just laugh (and rightly so!). the squirty air freshener I bought for his last visit are minging too...

LineRunner · 19/08/2011 20:02

Is this ALL you have to worry about?

FFS some of us .. oh, BodyofEeyore spoiled it all now.

TheMonster · 19/08/2011 20:05
Grin Linerunner, is this thread all you have to worry about? Some of us haven't even got wine yet!
LineRunner · 19/08/2011 20:10

BodyofEeyore

Is having wine ALL you have to worry about? Some of us got sucked in by sumliminal advertising to buying a bottle of fucking 'Cidre' instead and I'm regretting my purchasing choice and I haven't even opened it yet.

You evil old caaaah. [sorry got 'Stenders on in background replete with pearly queens] Grin

TheMonster · 19/08/2011 20:15

Cidre? Cidre? Dyslexic cider. Grin

I quite like being called an evil old caaaah!

tothemoonandback · 19/08/2011 20:15

Where would you prefer they shit OP?

Honeydragon · 19/08/2011 20:18

tothemoonandback

in their toilet at home I suspect Grin

tallwivglasses · 19/08/2011 20:18

I'm cackling (at the above posters in particular)

It's true though. I swear xp purposely holds it in til he gets to my house.

And he leaves tobacco on the loo seat Angry

With the assistance of a Viz Profanosaurus, you might quiz your parents at the door upon entry as to how close they are to touching cloth, and direct them to the public house down the road if their replies do not pass the rigor of your risk assessment.

joric · 19/08/2011 20:27

My DH has a friend who does this and then leaves the downstairs toilet door open so it stinks the house out :( mind you after episode 1. - I was prepared... Window is open wide before he arrives.. Little electric puffer air freshener on frequent puffs. Air freshener on top of toilet. Bleach down toilet.
There is a man at work who used to do the same... Every morning when he arrived at work - in the toilet ajoins to our little communal area....WHY oh WhY didnt he go before leaving home (5 mins away).... Well he does now... The MANY cans of air freshener in the little cubicle... Some battery ones puffing away by themselves- did the trick and he took the hint!
