Someone has done a smelly shit

Some bugger has done a stinky shit in my workplace. It smells. Then they've gone and sprayed that air freshener stuff which also in my mind smells like shit. So now work smells like double shit.

WIBU to do a turd on the floor in protest? Angry

Bastards.

I get it, MT. Shame on you for having a laugh eh?

For some reason, poo layered with eau d'artificial peach is the most olfactory offensive. Bleugh.

Shock

Some people are beyond the pale.

MissTapestry · 08/02/2012 10:17

Although its gross, its hard to know how bad a shits going to smell until you've done one, and I'd worry about anyone who'd done a smelly one who didn't try and at least attempt to mask the stench somehow.

Blurgh for you though MissTapestry maybe its a good chance to speak with the boss about ventilation and perhaps some more de-smelling items in the loo? Bleach, flowers, air, oust etc.,

I did a smelly one once, and spend 20 minutes trying to sort the smell out... very hard when there was only hand soap and blue paper towels.

MissTapestry · 08/02/2012 10:21

aldi- don't tell anyone I think it may have been the boss who dunnit!
I'm not really that bothered, it DOES happen to everyone, I just thought you'd all like to know about it, and I like typing the word shit on my iPhone, I'm trying to cure it of autocorrecting to shot!Grin

You say you are still struggling to breathe - are you actually MNing on the toilet? :o

It can't be as bad as the Garlic Arse thread (I NEED to read that one again, anyone know where it is?)

ArielNonBio · 08/02/2012 10:23

There are ways of minimising the aroma though. If you flush just as you're doing it, it's off and away before it has a chance to smell. But you've got to get the timing right, and the water does splash your backside.

aldiwhore · 08/02/2012 10:24

Grin If it was the boss what done it, you're screwed.

blondie80 · 08/02/2012 10:28

We have a 'mystery shitter' at work.

We're in a building with communual toilets shared with the other offices.

Someone shits (in the ladies) almost every day and doesn't flush.

It's minging.

Only a few suspects left on the list. No idea what we'll do if we ever work out who it is though!

MissTapestry · 08/02/2012 10:30

The toilet door was left open, so it's spread to where I'm not working. Blurk. Speaking of which, I really ought to do something today.

The garlic arse thread was priceless Grin

I'm really disturbed to hear the number of MNers who have phantom shitters at work Shock

lessemin · 08/02/2012 10:56

If you light a match the shit smell goes away!:>

Lilaclion · 08/02/2012 10:58

....or if that doesn't work at least the fire alarms might go off and you can grab a bit of fresh air?

MissTapestry · 08/02/2012 10:59

Lessemin- I think with the amount of air freshener they've sprayed it's more likely to explode than go away! Yes, it still smells, and yes, I am sort of getting some work done Wink

OP posts:
lessemin · 08/02/2012 11:03

HaHa! didn't think of explosive possibilities. Peg?

FlangelinaBallerina · 08/02/2012 11:15

But aldiwhore, spraying air freshener over poo doesn't do anything to mask or improve the smell! If you've got to go, you've got to go, but you've not got too add horrible sickly synthetic florals over it too. Much better to flush as soon as possible after the deed is dropped, and leave the loo lid down afterwards.

Weasleyismyking · 08/02/2012 11:29

If ever I was going to facebook recommend a thread...!

there's no worse fear than being the next one in after a pooer, knowing that the person following you will think you dunit and saying 'it wasn't me' just gets an understanding nod :$

ginmakesitallok · 08/02/2012 11:32

A colleague of mine had crohns disease - some people knew some didn't . Those that didn't used to complain about the smell left in the toilet. The poor girl was so embarassed she used to go home to have a poo Sad

Shit smells - we all do it, get over it

Mumof1plustwins · 08/02/2012 11:36

Apparently there's a poo + vomit bug going round...maybe someone their has it? (or at least part of it Wink )

RUN! Grin

LineRunner · 08/02/2012 11:52

Why does lighting a match work?

Is there a risk of small explosion? I'd quite like to blow up my 'office environment' to be frank.

LineRunner · 08/02/2012 11:53

Oh god will that last post of mine have special branch knocking at my door? It was a joke, MI5 and MI6.

MissPenteuth · 08/02/2012 11:58

According to Google, the smell of the sulphur from the burnt match masks the smell of the methane. I would've thought that sulphur + methane = eggy fart smell, but apparently not ConfusedGrin

LineRunner · 08/02/2012 12:00

I may need to run a complex series of experiments.

FutureNannyOgg · 08/02/2012 12:10

Lighting a candle works well too, perhaps you could have a nice one in your desk drawer for emergencies.
