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

CreamolaFoamless · 14/10/2011 14:00

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

I have so many disgusting bodily function stories but now I feel strange for knowing them.

IslaValargeone · 14/10/2011 19:24

What kind of people hover around to ascertain the state of someone's bowel by listening to the sound their pooh makes as it hits the water..Good god.

MrBloomsNursery · 14/10/2011 19:28

Grin It did disturb me too piprabbit. :(

letthereberock My bedroom was right next to the bathroom. I wasn't hovering around, I could hear almighty splashes and plops in my bedroom.

notjustme · 14/10/2011 19:29

Wahahahahahaaaaa, I love this thread!

I couldn't give two hoots if anyone did a dump in my toilet - providing they flush it and make sure it's gone, which is far more than the people who live in this house do.

You should put a sign on the door - this toilet is not for shitting in

LetThereBeRock · 14/10/2011 19:31

Not you MrBloom, I meant how did Creamola know that he didn't wash his hands?

LetThereBeRock · 14/10/2011 19:32

I think Isla might have been addressing you though.

MrBloomsNursery · 14/10/2011 19:33

Oh, sorry. Surely you can hear if the tap is opened in your bathroom? I mean if OP's boiler was being fixed then the hot water tap should have caused it to go on, no?

runningwilde · 14/10/2011 19:34

Kbackeredmother - I hope your boy is ok?

Op - I get you. I know needs must, but I hate people shitting in my loos. At least I have a guest loo - only me and the kids can use my loo. Even the hubby is barred from it, he has an ensuite loo Grin

MrBloomsNursery · 14/10/2011 19:34

and she was standing right next to the boiler

IslaValargeone · 14/10/2011 19:58

MrBloomsNursery, you really have to ge out more, you are overthinking this :o

madam52 · 14/10/2011 20:06

It never ceases to amaze me when I hear women in public toilets when some poor woman has the audacity to have a poo in there. 'Oh God - can you smell that - dirty cow etc etc'. I mean are theirs clean and smelling of roses Confused

Yes - providing he flushed/washed his hands and left toilet in clean condition - then YABVU

A colleague of dh Creamola, but on reflection I think it's best I don't go there, I fear you may have a fit of the vapours Wink

You forgot to mention your complete lack of manners.

Neverever · 14/10/2011 20:56

Oh well why ask anyone then if you have decided you are right?? I have ibs and if I can't go when I need can get a tremendous amount of pain, would you rather see someone in pain just so your house would not have a smell for 10 mins or so, given that you had hired this person and it is their place of work?

HecateGoddessOfTheNight · 14/10/2011 21:02

Oh. Really?

So you didn't say "you're are all mental "

and

"and you can fuck right off with your little bitchy comment of are you bored this afternoon"

I think those things are aggressive and calling people names.

I've just finished reading 'The Help'. It's about racism in the USA many years ago and how some country folks had such a low regard for their black 'help', they built separate loos for them. Didn't realise it's happening here and now, only 'black' is substituted by 'working class'.

notsohappymummy · 14/10/2011 21:03

Can I just say that I have Ulcerative Colitis and have had a pretty bad week health wise . I do normally have a sense of humour re bodily functions but not this week .I get quite stressed about the availabilty of loos and will pay to stay in hotels rather than inflict myself on friends' toilets if staying anywhere overnight. I think my friends think I am being prescious but judging by the previous posts I am glad I keep my bodily functions to myself if possible

staylucky · 14/10/2011 21:09

My DH is a 'workman' and says he would rather poo in a brown paper bag than in someone's house Grin

Tbh though it's a rough deal working out of a van all day, you'd think there would be lots of public places to stop off and use the loo but not so.

(He does have lots of stories about working in people's bathrooms and seeing evidence of the owner being 'part of the big poo gang') GrinGrinGrin

I doubt you'll be having people in all that often?
