DH is surprised.

Aibu for not having any strong feelings about this?

Dh had a colleague who was desperate for the loo while working in a customers house.

It wouldn't flush away, she came home while he was still trying to flush it, there was no loo brush to push it down either. Grin bless him , he was mortified!

Your poor DP Dann, that must be horrible, if he has to go he has to go. IBS is evil.

I'm one of those who wouldn't be the slightest bit concerned by anybody pooing in my loo BUT I would never poo in anyone else's loo myself because I'd be too embarrassed.

Thingiebob · 16/02/2013 13:39

No window.

No toilet brush.

He did leave a mark. Discreet squirt of bleach sorted it out.

DH said he prob wouldn't poo in someone else's loo. He just shrugged and wandered off when pressed further.

The whole scenario has reminded me of a number of threads on here involving tradesmen and appropriate loo usage. I practically broke my neck to get online to post about it on here. Smile

I never get people who say they can only poo at home surely if you need to go, you need to go? I can't hold it in!!

A workman once did one in the loo at my old house that was too big to flush away....I got my soon to be ex boyfriend to deal with it; in fact I think it might have been the same day Grin

Megatron · 16/02/2013 13:43

Bah, that's nothing!

My sister was rather dismayed when the man relaying the felt on her garage roof, shat on said roof. She knows this because she stuck her head out of the bathroom window to ask if he wanted a cuppa and caught him mid squat. I believe it was a rather awkward moment.

Shock Megatron

cozietoesie · 16/02/2013 13:44

It's not always straightforward. I have MH problems with people I don't know in my house. (I'm dealing with them.) But I had workmen I didn't know in my house to do work for the neighbours. (I had the only access.) It was a neighbourly oncession but the workmen used my private bathroom without asking. (If they 'd asked they'd have been referred downstairs.)

Sorry and all - but I don't want men I don't know peeing and pooing over my own space.

DizzyHoneyBee · 16/02/2013 13:46

Sorry Megatron but [laugh] - there needs to be a smiley for laughing whilst drinking coffee at the computer.

Sugarice · 16/02/2013 13:46

Megatron Grin Grin

lainiekazan · 16/02/2013 13:46

I had to throw away a loo seat after a bloke had been to mend the dishwasher.

Megatron · 16/02/2013 13:47

Yep Sparkling. I'm sure she was on the phone to me before the poor man got his trousies up. I'm afraid I wasn't as sympathetic as she'd hoped I'd be on account of the fact that I thought it was the funniest thing i'd ever heard.

Auntmaud · 16/02/2013 13:48

This is hilarious!

Some of you are very erm, anal Grin.

We all piss and shit, get over it.

DizzyHoneyBee · 16/02/2013 13:56

Sorry Megatron but [laugh] - there needs to be a smiley for laughing whilst drinking coffee at the computer.

manicinsomniac · 16/02/2013 13:58

superdrooper well if I really couldn't hold it then yes, I would go where necessary but I think most people without a permanent or temporary affliction can hold poo for a long time.

MajesticWhine · 16/02/2013 13:59

The builder who did my bathroom would spend ages in the loo, evidently having a dump, almost as soon as he arrived in the morning. He chose the downstairs loo which is rather prone to blocking. I didn't judge too harshly - that's what it's there for.

Sugarice · 16/02/2013 14:00

My dh has a sphinctor muscle made of steel Grin, there's no number two coming out of there unless it's on his own throne. Wink

Megatron · 16/02/2013 14:00

My sister is terribly proper too Dizzy, I think she was traumatised for weeks afterwards. Grin

Sparklingbrook · 16/02/2013 14:02

Is there still a poo on her roof Megatron? The aerial man came here not long ago and now I'm wondering.......

FarBetterNow · 16/02/2013 14:09

I know some joiners and gardeners who have a poo bucket in their vans.
I haven't asked how they dispose of the contents.
Maybe they line the bucket with a plastic bag.

landofsoapandglory · 16/02/2013 14:11

Megatron that is funny!Grin I read it to DH and he is disgusted!

thebody · 16/02/2013 14:15

Its a toilet so errr its for wee and poo.??!!

If you got to go you got to go... Even the hired help..

hamdangle · 16/02/2013 14:19

I know someone who is a brickie and they say that they have done a poo in the cavity walks of every house they've built! A friend if mine was helping him on a job and saw him sitting on the gap and doing it whilst reading the paper!!!

hamdangle · 16/02/2013 14:19

Cavity walls! Sorry!
