toilet issues

[desperatediva]

AIBU to make DP use the toilet on the landing (we live in an apartment) instead of our ensuite bathroom to do a poo?

yep

it's a toilet! what are people supposed to do in it??

we never use the en-suite bathroom for poo's - only allowed in the main bathroom or the downstairs toilet - yanbu!

Perfectly reasonable. DH never uses the toilet in our ensuite. We use our ensuite as a cupboard. However our house has two other toilets and I don't want to have to clean two toilets..

If there's a choice then I don't think YABU.
There is something unpleasant about a poo so close to the bedroom somehow.

How funny!

Maybe it's because mine don't smell :)

YANBU at all!

Right, DP has asked me to post again to clarify the toilet on the landing is in fact a communal landing (however the toilet is not) as the two upper floors have to use it to access their apartment.

Nothing like the smell of poo drifting in to ruin my Sunday morning coffee!!

why buy a place with an ensuite if you dont want to use it

Can other people use the toilet even though they shouldn't? I'm confused about the lay out of your flat.

I don't think it is on to get your DH to crap in a toilet used by other households when you have a perfectly good toilet in your apartment, no.

No the toilet on the landing belongs to us only & is throughly cleaned by the cleaner every week...

When we have guests they have to use this toilet as to access to the ensuite they would have to walk through our room (obviously!)

Would he have to leave the apartment to use the landing toilet?

Either way I think yabu tbh.

If there´s a bad smell-tell him to change his diet/close the door during & after/get some ventilation sorted out.

YABU its a toilet, for weeing and crapping on. Get some air freshner in there, preferably not one with 'hint of vanilla' - something not right about poo smell mixed with something that smells like the most delicious dessert

This is one of the reasons I've never wanted an en-suite bathroom. I don't permit the dog to take a dump in my bedroom so I certainly don't want to share the room with human shit.

But if you've got an en suite it does seem rather odd to shit in it yourself yet not allow your partner the privilege. Even if your shit is indisputably superior.

You've got a toilet out in the communal landing? How does that work, then - do you have a key to it or something. I'm boggled.

"I'm boggled."

I impressed you can make your DP do stuff. My DP does exactly what the hell he likes.

Yes...its fairly big and stocked with my new method soap (thanks MN!) lucky man (wink)

We are the only apartment on our floor, every floor has a toilet outside the apartment (its literally on the corner of the front door) I think its just the way its designed, a bit silly I know!

Seems a bit odd-but if the only other toilet is accessed via your bedroom-you won´t want everyone going through there.

handy for workmen!

To be fair I wouldn't want to shite on a communal landing with people maybe walking past and having conversations.

So he should shite in his own ensuite but only when you're not in the bedroom.

In fact in general shiting should be confined to after breakfast as part of ablutions in general.

So it's like an outside toilet? Wow. Retro.

I think YABU. It's faeces not radiation. It won't kill you.

diddl you have just reminded me of that thread where a boiler repair man had the temerity to have a shit on a customers toilet and she came on here to moan about it. Think she even rang him up about it. God that thread made me laugh.

...and all the threads where people are shocked and appalled at not flushing with the toilet seat down, because the radia-shite-ation gets into the air.
