To feel so so so sorry for this woman? (Poo related - sorry!)

FiveSugarsPlease · 30/05/2013 16:46

Just back from the supermarket with dd.

While we were there, I took her to the shop's toilet. There's only 3 tiny cubicles. I put dd in one and stood outside with my hand in the door. Two young women came in and waited behind me on one of the cubicles freeing up. A woman in her mid-twenties came out of the large/disabled one and squeezed by to wash her hands. The two young women both went in the large cubicle.

As soon as they got in they exclaimed, "OMG, it's stinking in here!", "There's shit all over the seat", "I'm going to be sick" "Some people have no shame" etc etc.

Meanwhile, the woman who had just used that toilet continued to wash her hands - her face scarlet, eyes welling up - hearing every word!

I know I should have said something, but what? All I could do was mutter 'Hurry up, DD, we need to go', pretending I couldn't hear the two women in the large toilet.

Why would they do that so loudly? Did they intend to hurt that woman's feelings?

I could understand children doing it (my dd is terrible for it!), but not adults.

Or, the person before her did it and she locked herself in the cubicle then realised. then had to come out and everyone believed she was the culprit.

Ledkr · 30/05/2013 18:05

If it was me and I had an innocent excuse or the girls were bitches if have said so.

ColinFirthsGirth · 30/05/2013 18:12

Sparklingbrook - yes I thought the same it may not have been her. I feel sorry for her, she may have been feeling really poorly or something.

cantspel · 30/05/2013 18:15

she could have been a mn hover who's delicate arse cannot touch a public loo and so left droppings on the seat.

Fakebook · 30/05/2013 18:17

Why would you feel sorry for someone who smears shit on a seat? Or not even attempt to clean the toilet? Strange.

donnie · 30/05/2013 18:22

naaah....she wouldn't have left poo on the seat KNOWING that there were other people in the toilets. It's the two women going into the cubicle together being harpie bitches just because they can. If there really had been poo on the seat they would not have even closed the cubicle door but instead rushed back out again immediately.

In fact they sound so spiteful and mouthy that I would have lobbed poo INTO the cubicle while they were in it to really give them something to complain about.

Sparklingbrook · 30/05/2013 18:25

Why were 2 women sharing a cubicle?

kilmuir · 30/05/2013 18:29

the smell is to be expected in a communal toilet.
I would have thought most people turn to check toilet is clean before they leave the cubicle? no

This is why I never use public loos if I can possibly help it.

I once was so desperate I used one in a motorway petrol station. Well, I didn't use is - there was shit up the walls. I am not joking, it was smeared and looked like an elephant had had a dirty protest in there.

fuzzypicklehead · 30/05/2013 19:42

Some people are really bloody precious, though.

A person I work with (who has an obvious disability) used a disabled toilet in a public place. A few minutes later another person (a carer, as well) emerged from the cubicle with a look of horror, and not realizing who had been in there, told us she was going elsewhere as there was blood all over the seat.

Feeling embarrassed for my companion, I went in to sort it out. After searching, I eventually found the most infinitesimal smear of blood on the seat.

Fakebook · 30/05/2013 19:47

I never use public loos either. I used a toilet in ASDA and in Debenhams in one week last week though because my bladder is playing up thanks to my uterus. Before that, I hadn't used a public toilet in over a year or probably more. I would never poo in a toilet either. That's for home.

TheChaoGoesMu · 30/05/2013 19:53

If it was that bad and the seat and bowl was covered, they wouldn't have stayed in there and cleared it up to use it. They would have used the next one. It was probably the smell. They do sound like bitches.

fackinell · 30/05/2013 20:06

Poor woman, but it reminds me of the time I walked into a public toilet to find a big poo staring back at me, I retreated aghast and watched as a newly arrived woman did the same.
As she retreated, I proudly announced, 'I just did that!!' To which she gave me a filthy look and flounced out before I could correct her on the fact I meant the retreat, not the shit!! I still howl with laughter even now at that!!

MummytoKatie · 30/05/2013 21:13

fackinell i've just spat drink on my IPad through laughing so hard!

I once walked into a loo and found a huge poo in there. As I had a hangover, I promptly threw up on it. Unfortunately, I then couldn't get the loo to flush...

NoelHeadbands · 30/05/2013 21:27

fackinell that's hilarious I would have had to hunt her down to explain though. Hunt her down like a dog

TheChaoGoesMu · 30/05/2013 21:29

fackinell Absolute classic!

MisselthwaiteManor · 30/05/2013 21:32

Ha!

GoofyIsACow · 30/05/2013 21:33

That sounds like a dare to me, the fact they went in together and shouted together suggests to me there was no shit or smell (although the woman must have had a shit otherwise she would have been a bit )

The fact it was a supermarket is weird though, are there any pubs near the supermarket OP? All day drinking sesh followed by dares in the supermarket!

HerrenaisnowHowlerMonkey · 30/05/2013 21:36

Sounds like they were being bitches to me - there's no actual evidence that the toilet was dirty at all! Poor woman :(

fackinell · 30/05/2013 21:37

OMG was a little bit sick there, Solid!!

I couldn't chase her down, my cousin and I were practically crumpled on the floor. I have honestly never laughed so much in my life. She probably relays this tale in disgust to her mates. Luckily we were on holiday in the backarse of Scotland but I still can't risk going back in case she's staff!!!!

HerrenaisnowHowlerMonkey · 30/05/2013 21:38

Also, it's possible they might have known the woman and be deliberately having a go at her. She might have looked upset because it was part of a pattern of bullying, not because there was truth to it.

BeauNidle · 30/05/2013 21:40

it may have been someone before that left the shit there for her?
