To clean downstairs loo after electric meter man called?

[Bearcat]

Yesterday the man came to read the electricity meter under the stairs.
He then asked if I had a downstairs loo and would I mind if he used it. Of course I said 'Yes' to him.
He seemed to be in there for at least 5 minutes. In fact DH arrived home and I said to him 'Don't be surprised but meter man will soon emerge from loo'.
He came out and said he would put me down as one of his 5 loo stops and even my hand wash was 5 ( Bayliss and Harding, not Molton Brown by the way).
As he was in there so long, I made DH go in to sniff the air who decided he had only done a wee, but I still had to clean the loo, sink and change the towel as I didn't know this man from Adam
Was I being unreasonable or just a bit OCD?

OCD

He probably was so excited by your 5* loo that he had one off the wrist and it is lurking on the floor just behind the toilet

Unreasonable, no. A little strange, yes.

OTT

I'm struggling to form an opinion. Just give me 5 minutes.

It is silly, but understandable. Our own poo is tolerable, others people's - not.

I think it was Lord Winston who did some kind of "research" into our reactions to other people's faeces. I think his team put a rubber turd in a public loo and observed that about 99.9999% of people who went into the cubicle backed straight out.

YANBU I do exactly the same thing!

I reckon he had a shit in your cistern. Best check to make sure.

He asked if you minded if he used your loo? You said Yes, meaning that you did mind but he still used it?

You must have said No.

I hate myself for it, but its no good, I'm just the same. My stomach sinks when a stranger asks to use the loo and I really, really want to say no, but always say "yes, second door on the left" through gritted teeth and with a fixed smile on my face. Then head for the utility room to get the cleaning stuffs as soon as they've gone

OCDish. But I would have done the same.

Thanks for responses, will try not to think too much about a couple of them!
Always remember DS2 had a friend when he was about 8 (20 now) who every time he came to tea, had to do a shit in our loo which always stuck to the sides and used to drive DS1 round the bend (so to speak!)

I'd have cleaned it too. Hep A, worms and other parasites, e coli all come from poo. Plus what if he had boils on his bottom. Or if like goawaybob said he cracked one off the wrist. Get one of those dark light things, it'll shown semen on the walls. Also if you flush the toilet with the lid up the fecal matter sprays everywhere. Ugh.

I get the feeling you could talk for a while on this subject Debeez

Debeez!!!!!

The sky man used my upstairs loo last week and I haven't cleaned it or even changed the towel. Never crossed my mind. slattern

OCDish , the loo wasnt dirty was it he was probably admiring your posh hand soap and checking out your fluffy towels , I might sprayed round the seat though but not a full clean ,

Unless you drink out of the toilet, eat it's contents,or run your fingers over the bathroom surfaces and put them in your mouth, there is no risk.

It is odd behaviour and you all need to get out a bit more.

My poo and wee, DS and DD poo and wee OK.

DH poo just about tolerable after flush.

Anyone else. Gross. YANBU to clean bog.

birdsgottafly That's not my name and it was a gentle tongue in cheek response although all true. Perhaps we should go out more together. I know some awfully sarcastic people I could introduce to you and you could take me into a McDonald's toilets and practice me touching the fixtures but NOT PUTTING MY FINGERS IN MY MOUTH!

Are there any toothbrushes in there? If there are, you need to throw out as he could have shoved them up his bottom, bristle end first.

Totempole :o

Tradesmen using your facilities? Don't you have an outside loo you can direct them to?
