To think it is beyond rude & disgusting to leave shit stains in the toilet

I fear I am reacting particularly badly to this as am feverish & knackered, but...

My parents are visiting - my DC are 2 and 10 weeks.
All gone pretty smoothly until this morning, just before we went out. I went to the loo & discovered a delightful array of shit stains all over the pan.

I asked my dad - yes it was him, he tried to get them off... But what?! Couldn't be arsed so left them for me to deal with?! Wtf?!?!

I'm so pissed off its unreal. Before taking DD to bed for her nap just now I asked one of them to clean it. I seriously never thought I'd have to have that conversation with my dad. Angry Hmm

Gosh I can not imagine saying this to my Father. It would be the sort of thing you clean quickly so it leaves your pyshe for ever. I mean please unless he produces super glue type shit I do not think it is the problem you are making it out to be. How many times has your Father had to clear up your mess?

CitrineRaindropPhoenix · 20/07/2015 14:11

Well given that the thread is 2 years old, if the poo is still there the ops dad ought to be buying her a new toilet as it must all be pretty firmly welded on.

This is yet another way in which MN is a parallel universe. I cannot understand how one can ever have a clean loo without the benefit of a loo brush.

Aeroflotgirl · 20/07/2015 14:45

Yanbvu embarassing the poor man. Get some bleach and leave it and it will dissolve the stains and then get a tolet brush and scrape it off afterwards.

diddl · 20/07/2015 14:52

Is it possible to embarrass someone who's OK with leaving his shit stains for somone else to clean up?

Fair point. That said, I wouldn't mention this to anyone outside of my husband and children. It's too awkward.

ScoutRifle · 20/07/2015 15:51

I really can't get worked up over shit stains in a toilet.
I would just clean it like I always do everyday as part of my house cleaning regime.
Not a big deal at all.

dublingirl653 · 20/07/2015 15:54

shocking

your poor dad
i hope he never returns to your home
how dare you do that!!!

littledafty · 20/07/2015 16:07

This resurrected thread is making me snort with laughter at some of the responses.
Reminds me of when my nephew left a big poo on the toilet seat in my house. I called my sister into the room to deal with it and we had a ridiculous argument with her saying 'how do you know it wasn't one of yours who left that?'
The fact that Id had to go in and give my nephew an extra toilet roll minutes earlier didn't seem to be proof enough for my sister.
The argument was absurd and did result in us howling with laughter when it dawned on us how stupid the conversation wasGrin

diddl · 20/07/2015 16:10

Peopl who think it's shocking to expect another adult to clean up their own poo are on a wind up, aren't they?

You don't clean up after your husband & kids, do you (assuming that they can do it themselves), so why would you after your dad??

How about your mum??

WanderingTrolley1 · 20/07/2015 16:22

How embarrassing.

Don't think I could ever have that conversation with my dad - or anyone (who isn't my partner or child), actually!

MrsTedCrilly · 20/07/2015 17:27

Hmm I'm not sure.. I do find this disgusting but not sure I'd say anything to my dad. Thankfully mum and dad have never left any kind of hint that they've just used the loo! They must shit rainbows Grin

My sis and bro in laws toilet is horrific, always thick with poo yet if you met them you would never think it.. I would never say anything but I do look at them in a different way. I would never want anyone to view the contents of my bowel..

emwithme · 20/07/2015 18:27

I don't get the issue with CLEAN toilet brushes. Ones that appear to have been there since the dawn of time with crusted on poo-and-loo-roll are totally but a nice spangly one is fine - and at 40p they're pretty much replaceable weekly if you need to (although mine tend to last about a month before I think they're a bit grimy).

I've had to train DH to recognise what I thought was the internationally known symbol for "I'm cleaning the loo with chemicals" (TM) - the loo seat is down and there is a bottle of whatever cleaning chemical sitting on it. Apparently he had never seen this before he met me

CheesyDibbles · 20/07/2015 18:37

Yes it's yuck and a bit rude. But there is no way I would talk to a guest like that, even a family member.

Baco · 06/05/2017 02:51

I walk upon a shit left in the toilet, I say what the hey and shit right on top,of it! My goal is to see how bad it gets before some poor soul can't take it anymore!!!😛

Baco · 06/05/2017 02:53

I say ...leave it and add to it! Sooner or later some party pooper will flush!!!

KoalaDownUnder · 06/05/2017 03:13

ZOMBIE THREAD

I don't think we really need to rehash someone's dad's shit stains from 5 years ago. Hmm

LakieLady · 06/05/2017 03:28

I hadn't seen it before, being new round these parts, and I've really enjoyed it. Almost worth having insomnia for.

Mind you, my sides now ache from silently guffawing. I didn't want to wake the whole street with my cackling.

shakingmyhead1 · 06/05/2017 05:02

i had a nut about this once... my husband just shrugged, my teenager said shes not a toilet cleaner ( i nutted more) and my at the time 7yr old son took it to heart... i went in to find the toilet brush caked with poop and soggy toilet paper , and i mean caked! i learnt my lesson

shakingmyhead1 · 06/05/2017 05:03

oops i dont even look at the dates, sorry

Sparklingbrook · 06/05/2017 05:26

Oh great another Zombie thread. But about poo this time. Hmm

Blimey01 · 06/05/2017 05:37

I think it's beyond rude and disgusting to go round asking who the culprit was. Your poor Dad.

DopeyDazy · 06/05/2017 05:43

Hes probably died of shame by now it was a few years ago

Trifleorbust · 06/05/2017 07:21

I love the pearl clutching that goes on on these threads about toilet brushes and tradesmen. Get a grip, honestly.

And the word "boak" makes me gag. Revolting word.
