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

[CreamolaFoamless]

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

'If someone like a workman shat in my toilet I wouldnt be happy'
FFS are workmen second class citizens now, the new brown people or something? And as for adults can hold it in, well you can but it can cause agony and many health problems. So get the fuck over your dump phobia and accept its as natural a bodily function as breathing.

Please can someone tell me why you wouldn't want someone to use your loo? Abbé said it's rude, disgusting- why?

And what do you do if you have overnight guests?

I would prefer guests not to poo on my toilet seeker because of the sloppy skids they leave behind and for some reason I can't explain, it tends to stink the house out far more than when my family poo. This may be because there is some expectations when my family poo on my toilet.

1, They put the toilet seat down afterwards and flush.
2, That after flushing, they check the loo and if necessary they clean any skids from the toilet bowl afterwards, instead of leaving sloppy brown poo sliding down my toilet bowl.
3, They open the bloody window afterwards, or they spray some air freshener. Might not be to everyone's taste, but my family know that is my choice.
4, They close the bathroom door when they leave the bathroom.

Ime, other people have different pooing on toilet etiquette.

I have had workmen (since this thread is about workmen in the first place) who have not done any of those things.

I do not want my house smelling of warm shit.

However, I have also said I am BU and I don't say anything to people who visit my house and do shit on my toilet whilst not bothering to flush or open a window or close the bathroom door behind them.

I don't know anyone who doesn't flush! What bizarre people you must know!

"Actually Lesley I don't know why any of us are trying to reason with these posts. It is the most bizarre, rudest and inhumane attitude I have come across in a very long time. To deny someone the use of toilet facilities is just wrong - end of. I find it absolutely disgusting, far more revolting than the stench of human waste, this attitude represents the stench of human nature."

Well said helpmabob

The anti poo posters are discriminating against people with bowel problems.

Does this mean that only workmen who only go once a day straight after breakfast are allowed into these idiots homes?

Or should these ridiculous posters ask potential workmen to fill in a questionnaire about their bowel habits?

These awful people have no empathy or understanding, and obviously never had a bowel problem outside thier own house (and their own inward looking, petty, selfish, mean little lives)

I don't happen to personally know the workmen who come to my house to work seeker. Yet workmen have frequently used my toilet for a poo and not flushed.
If you saw the state of portaloos or public toilets regularly, you would know that there are too many of them left unflushed to be a strange uncommon habit not to flush...more like a regular event for some people.

Most people shit IN the toilet- I probably wouldn't be happy if someone shit ON the toilet either....

It's a particularly English form of mean, petty, narrow minded thinking, isn't it? All twitching net curtains and crinoline ladies over the loo roll, and what my late father used to call "refaynments".

Bet the workmen aren't allowed to use the porcelain mugs either, just the earthernware ones.

I think the OP has got some serious "issues" she needs to work through wiht a professional. Not allowing people working in her house to use the toilet and holding on for a week is not normal and suggests something deeper going on.

Perhaps see if a local counsellor could help?

No, she just needs to exercise common sense and common humanity. How many counsellors does it need to explain that?

I had no idea that so many people had hang ups about toilets.
It is quite simple -people coming to your house may want to use it. If they are working on your house all day they will most certainly want to use it. Open a window after they have been and clean it.
Houses are to be lived in! A lot of people appear to want them just to be admired-no shoes-no visits to the loo-no breast feeding and I bet they don't cook much in the kitchen either! As people keep saying 'my house-my rules'-just difficult for those who have to work in them!

What causes me distress is when workman come to my house and expect to breathe my air ! Why can't they breathe elsewhere - perhaps first thing in the morning after breakfast? People have different breathing habits- some of these people eat garlic FFs! or smoke and eat curry! I'm sorry but this is my home and I can't bear the thought of common people polluting my precious air

exotic Please explain to me why it is right or even okay for me to have to open the window and clean the sloppy skids from the toilet bowl after a workman has used the toilet?

I would always open the window and clean my own skids if I'd left any in my own toilet as well as someone else's toilet.

Do you seriously think it is okay to leave sloppy skids in someone elses toilet without even attempting to clean them off and open a window??

littlemisssarcastic

If that happens, you have a quick word. Something along the lines of "Could you please leave the bathroom in the state you find it?" will do.

Hahahaha
These threads are FANTASTIC!!
What planet do these op's live??

Please no where near me

I agree. Some people are unbelievable.

I have a friend with ulcerative colitis. She needs to use the loo regularly. Do I tell her not to visit me? No, I offer her the use of my upstairs bathroom instead of the downstairs loo so she can poo in private without anyone else hearing.

What is this with people leaving skid marks on the loo? Seriously, who does this? Is it only working class people? Is that why I'cennecer come across the problem?

YABU.

In the good old days I suppose the tradesmen were directed to the outside privy.

Nowadays guests use the guests cloakroom as estate agents call it. If you have just one loo then that is a problem.

However, pooing is part of life. Just get over it. Open the window, get your rubber gloves on,chuck some Domestos down there and get on with life.

Some people are seriously crazy. How can anyoone hate people using their loo to shit? If it gets dirty, CLEAN IT fgs.
Just when you think that you have heard everything......

forehead and ameliagrey

Have you ever shit down someone else's toilet, found you have left skid marks, the toilet is now stinking, and decided not to bother opening a window or even attempting to clean your shit off of the toilet...because after all, the person whose house it is can get their rubber gloves on, chuck some domestos down there/or CLEAN IT fgs after you??

My only issue is that some people, in my case workmen hardly ever leave my bathroom the way they have found it.

I don't give a shit if someone wants to shit/piss/vomit/change a tampon/sanitary towel/mooncup in my bathroom...but when I have to pull on my rubber gloves to clean their excretions up...when they haven't even attempted to clean it up, when they emerge from my bathroom with a grin a mile wide, without opening a window, don't bother closing the bathroom door behind them and are grinning like they are especially proud of the mess they have left me to clean up, because clearly that is my responsibility...to clean their sloppy skids off the toilet...then I am not jumping for joy inside.

Skid marks usually sort themselves out after a few flushes, I really don't see having a couple of skid marks in the toilet as a big deal. As long as they are down in the toilet bowl that's fine, it's not as though I spend much time gazing into my toilet bowl.
(Our toilet does get cleaned by the way, but weekly, not after every poo.)

what an odd question LMS!

How is one supposed to have Domestos to hand rubber gloves and the key often) to open window locks? In one's handbag- or toolbag?

C'mon- you know the point I was making- stop taking the p.

2rebecca I put it to you then....would you shit down someone else's toilet and if you left skids, not clean them up, or try to flush a few times if that's what you find sorts them out?

Or would you just leave it for the householder to sort out?

It's all very well some people on here saying that they have no issue with cleaning it up...but would they actually leave a toilet in that state themselves?? And if you wouldn't leave a toilet in any other state than how you found it...why wouldn't you??

Well, I don't know about you Amelia but in my house, the toilet cleaning stuff is behind the toilet, but in view if you looked. My toilet window is not locked (opened and closed far too often to warrant that unless I am on holiday) and I leave antibacterial wipes on the side right next to where you are sitting if you're on the toilet. Rubber gloves are behind the loo too.

So if you used a toilet in a house where the means were there to clean the toilet if you left it dirty...would you just walk off? Or would you attempt to clean it??
