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

Are you the queen? Doesn't she carry her own toilet seat everywhere with her?

What social class/income/education level do I have to be to poo in your toilet?

MumblingAndBloodyRagDoll · 14/10/2011 14:10

Some people (myself included) are very squeamish about shit...smelling other people's is gross. Did you know that when you DO smell poo...it is because there are tiny microscopic poo-particles in the air and so essentialy you're inhaling strange poo.

YABU and a snob into the bargain. Get over yourself.

Ormirian · 14/10/2011 14:11

Of course you aren't! Next time tell him to go and poo in the sitting room. Tsk!

Really? I think YABVVU! What if the poor fella was miserable, or ill, or his curry from the night before wasn't agreeing with him? Have you not ever really, really need the bathroom and felt horrible about asking? Sheesh. How much more sanitized is our society going to get.
Facts:
People poop. It stinks.
People pee. It doesn't exactly smell of roses, especially if it's men.
People bleed. It stains.

People vomit and spit and have boogers and have sex and eat dead animals because they are yummy, and then, when they've done all that, they pass away and their body rots.

Ridiculous.

MumblingAndBloodyRagDoll · 14/10/2011 14:12

snailoon no...but the Queen and other Royals have their bodyguards guard the loo after they have been inside and nobody can enter for half an hour!

It must be so nobody can smell the royal poop. I know this to be fact as Prince Charles cme to a theatre I used to work at. And he had a poo.

MrBloomsNursery · 14/10/2011 14:12

mumbling I've heard that, that's why pooey infections that cause diarrhoea can be passed on to other people through the air. Yuck.

buttonmoon78 · 14/10/2011 14:12

I am in awe of the concrete bowels in evidence on this thread!

When did normal bodily functions become unnacceptable?

ShirleyKnot · 14/10/2011 14:13

urgh.

A lorry driver once came to deliver a package at work and said, all breezy like, "Can I just use your loo while I'm here?" (One toilet here)

25 minutes he was in there. TWENTY FIVE MINUTES! After the first ten I was thinking I could hear him straining. ARGGGGTGGGGGGGFHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Fucking Hell, mate, go do your business in McDonalds or summat.

Ormirian · 14/10/2011 14:13

Alternatively build a loo in the garden for the lower orders to use.

JenaiMarrHePlaysGuitar · 14/10/2011 14:13

why do people think it's ok to poo in someone elses house

We need to ask Paul's mum.

Um, YABU. It wouldn't even occur to me that somebody might object to a visitor availing themselves of their lav Confused

So the anti drugs message is right and you really shouldn't be snorting that shit? Grin

piprabbit · 14/10/2011 14:13

Fantastic post Neumsy Grin.

LetThereBeRock · 14/10/2011 14:14

Do you odd people who object to others using your loo for the very act it was intended for,believe it or not they aren't sold for decorative purposes, shit with your backside hanging out of the window,because that's what I'm imagining right now. Or at least I presume that's what you think visitors ought to do.

MumblingAndBloodyRagDoll · 14/10/2011 14:16

Grin Worra

Jenai Ask Pauls Mum! Nooooo! Poor Pauls Mum.

Once, when I was about 17 years old, someone knocked on our door at about 5pm - a complete stranger - and asked my Dad if he could use our loo because he needed to go. Not a neighbour. No one we knew. My Dad let him in, and my bedroom was right next to the bathroom, and all I could hear for the next 10 mins were "PLOP" sounds....eeeuurghhh....Just so DISGUSTING and weird..

glastocat · 14/10/2011 14:17

How bonkers. You do know your shit stinks just the same as a workman's, don't you? Grin

MumblingAndBloodyRagDoll · 14/10/2011 14:17

Letthereberock Some people believe toilets are private. Like knickers. Your BOTTOM touches them ffs. Why should OP clean up some workmans bottom sweat and poo germs??

Olivetti · 14/10/2011 14:18

This is barmy! The loo is there for pooh and wee.

MumblingAndBloodyRagDoll · 14/10/2011 14:18

Scaredbear see my above post! Why WOULDNT people care? Confused

fortyplus · 14/10/2011 14:18

Obvious solution - next time someone asks to use your loo the correct response should be:

'On condition that you wish only to pass water - more substantial bodily excretions must be deposited elsewhere'

Honestly... get a grip Confused

NeumsyPeddie · 14/10/2011 14:19

Thanks Pip. I was in rather fine form wasn't I? I need a big old DUMP now though. Best quote I've ever heard about poo was Alyssa Milano on My Name Is Earl: "God, nothing makes you feel better than a good crap and a hot shower!"

Wink
MumblingAndBloodyRagDoll · 14/10/2011 14:19

Yes Olivetti but not for EVERYONE'S poos and wees!
