AIBU to expect someone to mention that they couldn't flush the toilet

[LexiLoganberry]

We had house guests recently and on the day they were leaving they decided to leave earlier than originally planned.

A little bit of background info, we have fairly recently moved house, we have 2 toilets up stairs, 1 in the main bathroom and a seperate wc, when anyone comes to stay we mention not use the toilet in the main bathroom as it doesn't flush very well and sometimes won't flush at all. We also don't put any toilet paper in the room as no one uses it.

I clean the toilet that we don't use once a week just to keep it fresh, so 2 days after the guests left I went to clean the bathroom toilet only to be greeted with a massive shit in the bowl.

Now I don't care that some one forgot and used the wrong toilet, but to have a bowel movement and then not be able to flush it, you'd mention it right.

It seems incredibly rude to not mention it to your host, surely it was obvious I would find it, I understand that maybe they were embarrassed but again isn't obvious that I would happen across it.

YANBU but I could understand why someone would just find it too embarrassing to bring up.

I'm with some0ne.

Yanbu, that is rank! Post the shit to them..

At least now you know why they left early.

Some people would be MORTIFIED but I think if it were me, I would have quietly got a bucket and flushed it with lots of water.

Photograph it and put it on facebook with the message "The lovely parting gift X left us after their stay in our home"

Its damn right rude not to do something about your own crap. All they had to say was "can I have a bucket as I forgot the loo doesnt flush"

why dont you just mend the loo. If the flush isn't working it is cheap and quick to replace the ball cock and flush.

Yabu for not having got the toilet fixed.

If it was someone I knew well I'd have no problem telling them the toilet wouldn't flush my massive turd ladylike offering away.

If it was someone I didn't really know I'd be less likely to tell them.

Having said that I would have stayed in that bathroom for a good 30 mins sweating profusely at the thought of leaving it bobbing around and desperately trying to think of ways to coax it down.

So basically I do think YAB a little U.

Oh just noticed it's a broken toilet. YABVU in that case, why didn't you put a sign on the door to warn the poor sod?

....do they own a 4x4 by an chance ? if so you could always drive round to theirs and leave it on the bonnet of the car ?

I would die of embarrasment and spend ages trying to sort it.
I'd either tell you and never come back or leave it and never cone back. I have terrible problems with my stomach and this is my nightmare come true.

YANBU btw....but I would have been mortified if I'd been your guest. I've been known to take up to half an hour in public loos if I can't get a jobbie to flush. Hate the thought of something going straight in after me and seeing a big turkish floating in the pan...

On a night out a few months back the toilet wouldn't flush and when I eventually did come out there were 3 girls standing waiting to get in. I tried to explain that it wasn't flushing properly but they looked at one another, muttered something in Spanish and then one literally pushed past me. As I ran from the loo I heard her shout something from behind the door to her friends which I assume was " manky bitch" in Spanish...

hahaha!! If it was me I would be horribly embarrassed but I would say something rather than just leave it.
If it was a kid fair enough but an adult hmmm

Fucking hell it's a poo. In the toilet.

Stop pissing about cleaning it once a week and get it fixed. It will take you about 15 minutes.

YABU for not getting it fixed, and for expecting people that don't normally live in your house to remember which toilets work/don't work.

They were probably embarrassed.

They should have said - Its not hard "really, sorry, I used that loo by mistake and it won't flush" I had to EMAIL maintainence at work once after I had used the loo and to my great mortification it wouldn't flush. I didn't want to leave it to fester and I COULD have just left it (big place, lots of staff) but fessed up. I didn't get a reply to the email thank god but I assume they sorted it out

You should have warned guests or not had guests till the toilet was fixed. You are in the wrong here I'm afraid. Or put a sign up. Yuck.

Did they definitely know?

I once lived in a house share in my early 20s and I had a shit which I thought had flushed but it was an exceptionally large one and must have come bobbing to the surface after I left it

And squoosh I have been ROARING with laughter at your post - sorry! xx

YABabitU. They should have found a bucket and flushed it but I think a lot of people would be far too embarrassed to report a recalcitrant turd to their hostess.

"recalcitrant turd" hahahahaha!
