AIBU to not want a workman to poo in my toilet?

Earlier today I was having my boiler serviced and two men came to do it.

The older man said 'can I use your toilet' , I said 'yes of course' and directed him to the bathroom. Thinking he just needed to pass water

But he had a poo in it! He was in there a good 10 minutes and has colleague was looking embarressed as we chatted.

It stank ! Really stank ...why do people think it's ok to poo in someone elses house

Would it be unreasonable to refuse workmen toilet access in future [hshock]

I'm using the term workmen because I don't know what else to call them

The OCD among you would love my office. In the bathrooms, gleaming stainless steel cubicles, each one has its own bottle of Lysol for those offensive odors. Loads of paper towels for your use, no need for one of those resusable towel things that you pull. I only see those in Europe now....
At the sink there is mouthwash and hand santizer, and there is a trashcan near the door for your paper towels that you use to open the door, no need to touch the handle again!
The receptionists desk also has a hand free hand sanitizer dispenser.

LOL!

Anyways, as an American, I am baffled by the need for constantly sanitizing trolleys at the market and wiping the kids down after they get in the car, yet feeding them all sorts of fizzy drinks/starbucks frappucinnos, mystery meats and preservatives like you get in the mcnuggets.

Have you cum yet Creamola?

SolarPrestigeAGammon · 14/10/2011 19:07

I read somewhere that if you don't feel comfortable "going" then your body doesn't let you.

I think that's true 'cos I have been places ie on holiday or staying with friends and I've just not "gone". I haven't felt uncomfortable either.

Why did your workman-pooper not have the same built in system? (he probably did have but he couldn't give a sh!t)

piprabbit Actually he was a young looking man wearing a suit. Looked like he was doing door to door sales or something.

Possibly because he didn't feel uncomfortable going,Solar. Why should he? I don't feel uncomfortable using any loo,unless it resembles the one from Trainspotting. I'm using it for its intended purpose after all.

GeraldineAubergineZombieBalls · 14/10/2011 19:11

I like cnortling I am going to use that more riven :)

piprabbit · 14/10/2011 19:13

MrBloom, it could still have been unexpected food poisoning - even if he was young and in a suit.

Continence issues (temporary or otherwise) are not the preserve of the old or ill-dressed.

SolarPrestigeAGammon · 14/10/2011 19:14

I do remember a workman doing this in my flat (about 20 years ago) (but I do STILL REMEMBER). I had to put on rubber gloves and scrub everything afterwards (and then throw away rubber gloves.)

I'm not kidding.

LetThereBeRock · 14/10/2011 19:14

And again how exactly do you know that he didn't wash his hands,Creamola? I think we've established by now that he defecated in your loo,but what makes you think that he didn't wash his hands? Were you hovering outside the door?

Hullygully · 14/10/2011 19:16

BECAUSE HE WASNT REAL BECAUSE HE WASNT REAL BECAUSE HE WASNT REAL

MrBloomsNursery · 14/10/2011 19:17

Hmmm, I don't know piprabbit, those sounds I heard didn't sound like sloppy poo due to food poisoning. Surely people with poo problems don't shit heavy lumps that make splashing sounds?

GeraldineAubergineZombieBalls · 14/10/2011 19:17

Hully, do you not believe this story? It seems completely plausible to me...//

JamieComeHome · 14/10/2011 19:18

Just a small point of order.

Men can't "wet the lettuce" as they don't have labia.

Unless you meant he had a lettuce down his pants

Feels almost ready to share my house guest shat up the walls story

Hullygully · 14/10/2011 19:19

Quite

GeraldineAubergineZombieBalls · 14/10/2011 19:19

I'm confused now

LucyGoose · 14/10/2011 19:20

You can tell if someone hasn't washed their hands if you don't hear the faucet going after they flush! Simple.

LucyGoose · 14/10/2011 19:21

IslaValargeone Oh yes please!

BustyDeLaGhetto · 14/10/2011 19:21

Fuck this tawdry tale, I just like that OP called Hecate HECAT.

LetThereBeRock · 14/10/2011 19:21

Well yes,but why would you be hovering around to hear it?

LetThereBeRock · 14/10/2011 19:22

Or to not hear it.
