to be annoyed about the state my toilet was left in...

[Lillamyy1]

I spent quite a while cleaning the bathroom yesterday morning, which made me even more annoyed, although I always keep the toilet clean...
A friend came round for a few hours and when her DP came to pick her up he went to use the bathroom and was there quite a while. When I went up there 10 or so minutes later I was hit by the most godawful stench, although to be fair to him we haven't any air freshened and he had opened the window, but oh my god the state of the toilet bowl! Skidder central. It was absolutely rank.
Surely it's common curtesy to flush a couple more times and pour some bleach down to try and get rid of the evidence if you've had a massive skiddy shit at someone else's house (and in fact your own house!) We have one of those toilet duck brushes with disposable heads which is in the cupboard so he couldn't have known it was there but the bleach is right next to the bloody loo!

Of course my loo brush is germy.

I am not eating it though, or touching it. The germs go back into the toilet water, which I then flush.

What is the problem?

And I will shit in someone else's house if I have to. Or I could shit myself and have the poo running down my legs onto your lovely carpet if you prefer??

So much bleach gets poured down with it though, and then it's wiped with anti-bac! I challenge any wiley germ to survive in my sink

I know it's irrational, especially after having just cleaned it, but I'd feel weird about swishing the brush in the toilet water and then storing it away.

Threads like these are so illuminating

I know you think your brush is clean, but you'll be spreading poo droplets all over your bathroom there's no need to wash it, it's not used for anything else to cleaning the loo!

But not to bloody iPad

There is no way your basin will be germ free if you wash a loo brush in it.

In fact when we flush the loo. 100000s of droplets from the spray can travel many feet across the room. That is why some new design loos in public places now only flush when you put the lid down.

If you wash the brush in the sink, you are doing the same thing as when people dunk a raw chicken under the tap- the bacteria spread all over the sink and the work surfaces and that's how people get food poisoning.

Loo brushes are disgusting. They belong to the same category ( and homes) as people who used to put crocheted covers on the lid of the toilet. There is absolutely no need to them because even the stickiest poo will come off quickly with a good slug of thick bleach poured onto it.

So... you use 200ml to half a bottle of bleach rather than have a go with a toilet brush? So every time a brush would be needed? I'm no eco warrior, but... bloody hell that's a bit much.

Not having a toilet brush is as flipping minging as hell.

@Bertrand - yeah me too. I think if MN were a real place I'd be violently dismembered the minute I stepped within city limits.

"Or I could shit myself and have the poo running down my legs onto your lovely carpet if you prefer??"

A kind offer, but hopefully not necessary.

who are you asking ape?
I didn't mention 200mls.
I use a quick squirt which is about 30 mls I reckon.

I have four loo brushes, one for each toilet (they are kept out of toddler reach, up on the cistern shelf, so he can't use them as swords...)

In fact, one of them is even has a decorative, duck and ducklings shaped holder which was a housewarming present!! (the brush has been changed over the last 17 years though )

I'm still the only one who appears to know how to use them though...

Dirty sod! Who doesn't have a quick look behind themselves after shitting in someone else's Kharzi?

I use my basin to soak pee-soaked pajamas in too. I'm a right dirty cah.

Why in god's name do you need four toilets?!!?!?!?!

pinkfrocks, what is disgusting is putting loads of chemicals into the public drain system rather than using a bit of elbow grease to clean.

Op I haven't read while thread and while it was clearly unpleasant for you to find, yabu. I have 4 household males and some of the time they don't even flush ( not for want of moaning / education / cajoling either). Your guest probably thought he'd done really well not only to flush but open the window!

I am a flight attendant. I could tell you some toilet-stories. Pooing in on the floor is quite polite compared to some of the poo- incidents I come across

Yours-I imagine the house house has 4 toilets. Why not have 4 toilets?

Toilets are designed to be shat in
Yes but I wouldn't expect practical strangers to shit in them and leave a mess. The dirty sod who did it in the OPs house just proves the point. I wouldn't want any old Tom, dick, or Harry shitting in mine. Let them do it in their own, rather than leave their vile mess in someone else's.

Offler

You need this pic above the toilet!

I wonder if people who use toilets brushes are more or less likely to wear shoes inside, and rinse when washing up.

Do you go around categorising people by trivial things like that? How snobby and sad.

A guest once did this in our downstairs loo, terrible stench through the ground floor, a toilet bowl that looked like it had been bombed by a flock of starlings and an awkward atmosphere as people tried to pretend that the house smelled normal and the wallpaper wasn't peeling off the walls. Worst of all she was a neighbour who lived next door but one, they had been invited for drinks and she she literally took her coat off and said I'm just going to pop to the little girls room!!! Personally I'd have made an excuse that I had left the iron on or something and nipped home, but each to their own!

I wear shoes inside and have a loo brush. Obviously me, my house, my children and foolhardy visitors are coated in a layer of poo particles. May the lord have mercy on my soul.

Henbur, gosh yes if I lived next door but one, no way would I use a neighbour's loo for a poo.

This opens up another issue for me. I appreciate that some people 'just can't wait' but personally I have never (maybe once when really desperate??) in 20 years of work life done a poo at work. Aibu?! There are no loo brushes (whatever your view on them) in work loos, no (or rarely) windows, no air fresheners. And if there is someone else waiting to use the cubicle after you...well need I sat more?!

If I needed to explode in the loo and I only lived two doors away I would have gone home.

AuntOlive but surely you're talking about children in their own home, Op is talking about a grown man who left a disgusting mess for her to clean up. Ok there is no brush, why not at least put bleach down? But to do nothing, who behaves like that? I personally wouldn't want him back in my home after showing such disrespect. So OP you are most definitely not being unreasonable

Pint taken Yankee but you're assuming men know what to do with bleach. Given that some posters on here didn't know it dissolves poo, it wouldn't be unreasonable that he didn't either! Not being sexist btw, just speaking from personal experience.
