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

Brilliant Dolly.

I had to tell my dad lots of times to wee into the toilet rather than just nearby. He said that old man willies are hard to direct. I miss him too.

JodieHarsh · 20/07/2012 15:23

Fear of my Dad Grin Grin Didl?!

Er, no!

I don't see why it's so surprising that love/affection/respect/desire not to make someone feel like a massive filthy arse might prevent someone from publicly yelling at a beloved parent OI YOU FILTHBEAST YOU HAVE LEFT SHIT IN MY TOILET IN MY TOILET I SAY I HAVE WITNESSED YOUR SKIDS GET IN THERE AND CLEAN IT VILE VILE CREATURE.

ANyway. As Cool Hand Luke once remarked, "What we have here is a difference of opinion."

elizaregina · 20/07/2012 15:24

YABU they had to clean up your shit once didnt they.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 20/07/2012 15:25

I don't know how people live without a bog brush.

Yes it is disgusting to have one which is ancient with years worth of poo particles, but this is easily remedied by (a) replacing the thing every few months and (b) weekly sticking the look brush in the loo overnight with half a gallon of bleach.

JodieHarsh · 20/07/2012 15:27

GetOrf alas, even that is not without its problems. DH knocked over the bog brush after using it without realising, leaving the inch of toilet cleaner left in the bottom to get onto the carpet and leave a weird blue bleached-out stain Sad

Not sure how we're going to explain that to the landlord. It looks a bit like Alien came to stay, had a stomach upset, and sharted acid all over the floor.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 20/07/2012 15:27

princess I would like to chase your dad down the street with a brush full of poo particles.

Why should you have to clean up after him because he 'would never see you again' if you happened to ask him to clean his own shite?

yellowraincoat · 20/07/2012 15:27

I find it hilarious that people are disgusted by a toilet brush but are happy to stick their hand into a toilet and clean up someone else's shit.

Utterly bananas.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 20/07/2012 15:28

lol jodie Grin

XP got up to use the loo in the night and pissed over said loo brush in the toilet pan on several occasions

Off topic but don't misquote Paul Newman films in my presence Jodie Grin

BunnyLebowski · 20/07/2012 15:30

Argh Yellow please stop assuming that its one or the other!

I don't have a bog brush. I have never wiped shit off the toilet bowl.

It is possible to have a gleaming crapper without doing either thanks to Domestos Smile

JodieHarsh · 20/07/2012 15:31

Grin getorf - that takes some considerable dexterity in the dead of night Confused Grin

Damnit Bunny I knew I should have Googled. How's the amputated toe, by the way

yellowraincoat · 20/07/2012 15:32

Wow, Bunny, chill out, light-hearted thread isn't it?

I'll assume your toilet is permanently smeared in crap and never accept an invite to your house.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 20/07/2012 15:32

yellow, I was about to say I'm disgusted by both but think there needs to be an answer, but I Think bunny has supplied it.

So do you just target-squirt Domestos directly onto the stains when they happen? And flush?

BoysWillGrow · 20/07/2012 15:33

Op I'm firmly on your side, on Wednesday my dm came over to pick my DS and have him a few hours for me. She popped to the toilet for about 2mins came back and said "sorry I've blocked your toilet" an I was like "oh don't worry bout it, can't be that bad" after she left I went up there and it was horrendous.

The (brown) water was right to the top with pieces of shit floating. I was beyond furious that she'd left it like that.
I'm almost 40wks pg and she was suppose to be giving me a break. It took me an hour an a half to unblock it. Including a trip to tesco to buy gloves and use their toilet and serching the garden for a stick to get the tissue out with. I had to chuck away my DS camping mug I'd used to scoop the poo out with. A towel after the shitty toilet water flooded onto the floor, a bucket and the toilet brush because it was rank after that. To say I was pissed off is an absolute understatement.
To think she thought it was acceptable to leave my toilet like that made me almost hate her at the time, there's no reason a healthy adult can't clean up after themselves.
I confronted her later telling her how pissed off I was, and she just didn't seem fussed and just breezily asked "well it's alright now isn't it?" Angry yanbu!!!

BoysWillGrow · 20/07/2012 15:33

Sorry rant over :)

DowagersHump · 20/07/2012 15:33

I went on holiday the other week and there were no loo brushes nor bleach. Someone else did a shit and didn't clean it so then after that, I couldn't clean my own smears off. I wasn't happy about it :(

Sparklingbrook · 20/07/2012 15:35

Are any of you 'eww it's disgusting' people dog/cat owners? I would rather clean up my father's skiddy poos in the loo than put a steaming warm sloppy dog poo in a bag or scoop the litter tray.

JodieHarsh · 20/07/2012 15:36

The trouble is of course that one dried skid attracts fresh skids, that nestle around the encrustation and grow and grow, in much the same way grit in an oyster fashions a pearl.

A sort of poo pearl, as it were.

yellowraincoat · 20/07/2012 15:37

I clean up my dog's shit because, although I have attempted to train him, he doesn't have the manual dexterity to do it himself. God knows he would if he could.

If the OP's father also lacks opposable thumbs, he can be let off.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 20/07/2012 15:38

Poo pearls!

Bunny you lot must do angel poos to not leave smears. Grin

Sparklingbrook · 20/07/2012 15:38

Grin. I could not put my hand in a bag and scoop up a dog poo, I really couldn't. Sad At least there's a scoop with the litter tray.

GobblersKnob · 20/07/2012 15:40

Sparking not only do I pick up dog poo, in the winter I double bag it and put it in my pocket to keep my hands warm Wink

Sparklingbrook · 20/07/2012 15:45

Noooo!!!! Gobblers. Do you have a poo pocket? Grin

I thought you had to hang them from the trees like pooey baubles anyway?

shrimponastick · 20/07/2012 15:47

Euuuwwwwww to all the poo/
blocked lop stories.

I have trained DS and DSS to clean up after themselves. It is definitely beyond rude to leave the contents of your bowels for someone else to clean up.

We all sit down to pee too. Except FIL who is also virtually blind and just splashes it all over.... SH cleans up after he visits.

BunnyLebowski · 20/07/2012 15:48

DP has his main daily movement at work, 3yr old tiny DD produces logs so large and dense they fly straight down the bend like the Jamaican bob-sled team and I poo candy floss Grin
