To not want people to poo in my downstairs toilet?!

[Scornedwoman67]

I will start by saying I am a fairly relaxed person when it comes to the house. I like tidy, but am not obsessed about cleaning etc.
A few years ago, after my divorce, I bougt my current house & had a downstairs toilet installed. Because of space constraints, it is off the kitchen. I have a rule that basically it's only for No.1's. I sort of assumed that most people would realise that anyway, firstly because it is near the kitchen, and secondly because it isn't exactly soundproof
Anyway, a friend & her DH visited yesterday. I will add that he has history - he has on at least one previous occasion taken himslef upstairs & sat in that loo for a 'session' ( apologies if you're eating ) but yesterday he excelled himself. We were sitting in the lounge chatting & he disappeared out of the room. I went in to the kitchen a few minutes later & he shouted through the door to announce where he was. His DW rather nervously reminded him about my rule ( knowing what he is like, I suspect) to which he replied 'oh dear'.

Whilst I can see the funny side of it, I do think it is rude....or AIBU?!

I'm thinking of putting a bloody great big sign on the door now!!!!

Ha ha! By the way, I did like your story of workmen installing a new bathroom above. Small but perfectly formed.

I have a downstairs loo between my living room and kitchen. There is an extractor fan, air freshener, loo brush and countless loo cleaning products in there. I wouldn't mind anyone having a number 2 in there and I have done so numerous times. Why would anyone go upstairs when there is a perfectly serviceable toilet downstairs????

Someone asked how you decide who is and who isn't allowed to poo in a toilet..I'm going to have to come out and say it - but well, I wouldn't mind a female friend pooing at my house but with men..it just seems to stink and skid more..and I actually do think they poo for enjoyment.
But I'm speaking as s

Sorry- as someone who is driven mad by DH 'free pooing' for 30 minutes at a time when it suits, usually around kids tea time or bedtime.

there are lots of other types of pooing!

i would link to the image but it might be a bit much for early evening

only last week a young ruffian was photographed pooing on someones roof - down their chimney

i doubt he was caught short

that is 'free pooing'

then there is 'marking your territory' pooing, which i suspect is mostly a male activity, and involves pooing in other peoples toilets. i suspect the op's friend's dh is in this category.

Can people poo on demand in order to mark their territory?

I find that as mind boggling as the idea repeatedly stated here that pooing isn't a necessity, it's something that you can just do a few hours later, or the next day.

The charmer on the roof is in a totally different category, surely that's more akin to vandalism or something, in that it is intended to cause harm or distress on some level.

Apparently dominant cats don't bury their poo.

it is like vandalism. really gross. but a number of people behave that way with their bodily fluids. gross.

I swear DH can poo

On demand. Honestly, he will just go 'I think I'll go for a poo'. And he religiously does one every morning without fail. Freak.

from a biological perspective it is better to get rid of poo quickly from the gut rather than the bacteria hanging around the colon.

Someone pooed down some else's chimney????

Ye gods.

Also, 'free pooing' is the most horrific phrase I've ever seen >

Omg that puts a whole new slant on santa.

The 'on demand' poo is very strange. I think of nasty burglars doing a poo on your carpet. What if they have been that day already, how do they squeeze one out?

Note to self - must leave this thread soon as poo obsession is taking over!

I don't like/want anyone doing poos OR wees in my loos except DH and DS. After someone else has been in there, sitting on the seat, I just cannot go in until DH goes in to clean. It may not be dirty, but I still don't like it.

I find this all highly amusing.

I also find it slightly odd that everyone seems to expect poos to stink. OK, our families do sometimes, but more often you wouldn't know what had been going on in the loo.

Totally bizarre. A loo is a loo, non?

did you name change specially?

Nope, for a chat about a different kind of bumming altogether on the 'Relationships' thread. Happy coincidence though, wouldn't you say?

yes

I agree greenshadow. In a career of nearly 50 years, I've only rarely encountered noxious shits.

Man poo is disgusting.

How much they smell depends very much on your diet, male or female.

it always smells. there is bad and really bad but of course there is always some bad smell. it is more noticeable when it isnt your own/your familys. i dont even have a great sense of smell.
