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?

*always

Totempole.
No toothbrushes in there
It was all very quick to clean loo, flushable loo wipes fromSainsburys, loo cleaning marigolds, Flash sink cleaner.
Admittedly, I still wondered about my hand pressing the Hand soap dispenser, but figured I was washing hands anyway AND HAD TO GET OVER THIS NOW!!!

I've got an outside working loo but wouldn't have the nerve to direct someone to it.

I think you probably need to replace the whole toilet.

He was probably just sitting down and having a rest, poor bloke.

I would do the same

You could have saved yourself a lot of heartache if when he'd asked you'd answered 'only if you don't do a poo'. For extra peace of mind you could have given him a questionnaire to fill in as to whether he had worms, parasites or boils on his bottom. You could also have said 'and I'd rather you didn't masturbate while you're in there, I don't want to catch pregnant'

Still, you'll know next time

Think I'm too old to catch pregnant Kurri.
And I know if he came asked again to use loo, I would still say yes and have another cleaning spree.

He may still have pooed but may have had the presence of mind to do a courtesy flush to minimise smell .

I would have cleaned the handsoap too!!

I'm ashamed to say I'm straight in there with the Flash wipes and bleach after visiting children have left!

Oh, children are different

I think he was being a bit odd to comment on the 5* qualities of your bathroom when a simple thank you would have done!

Hope there isn't a secret meter man code that will have them all popping in to your house when they need a dump wee!

You can get help for this, you know.

It would never occur to me to worry about anyone using my lavatory except I would be embarrassed at the state of it

There is a lot of grip to be got by the inhabitants of this thread.

Times like this make me remember why I hide my MN habit.

OCD ish from me, I've had the gardeners, electrician and painters in last week, and didn't clean it till the weekend. In fairness I did a skid check every evening and cleaned the sink of the muddy splashes and changed the towel but no more. Bogs are bogs and shit is shit.

....drum roll...

Kurri Kurri!!!!

I think you've been recklessly negligent. After this sort of appalling lavatorial invasion, any fule kno that the only remedy is thermo-nuclear.

You do realise that your lacksadaisical approach means things are all going to go 28 Days Later don't you? And those of us left alive will know it was your fault.

OCDish. Wondering if some of you ever use a public loo and how you cope.

You wouldn't like my loo. We have a elderly house guinea pig who poops as he roams. Turds are picked up with paper and flushed down the loo. But the little turds float and frighten my poor old mother .

wasn't it a plumber last time round?

This is like the cutted up pear all over again.

Sorry Debezz- it also helps if you don't lick the floors or walls

I have had to carry out personal care and have had dogs and horses, so like others, even handling poo, isn't a problem.

I had a guy round to fix the PC a few months ago and he not only shat in my downstairs bog he didn't even flush. Gross. Some blokes!

Me too birdsgottafly but I wore gloves! And I have a very delicate peach like bottom and don't want to touch were other peoples naked germs might be.

I'm with you bearcat and greenfingers!
