Original poster

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

Lillamyy1 · 01/06/2015 06:18

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!

I don't have air fresheners either Yankee. I have Jo Malone candles and a box of matches. Much more efficient at burning off noxious gases.

I don't think I am being rude at all. I am just a bit frustrated at some people's attitudes on this thread. It's like this bloke was set up to fail before he even started. I can't for the life of me imagine what people expected him to do if the marks were below the water line - get his whole hand above the wrist under the water with a big wodge of rapidly disintegrating loo roll? To be fair, I have done that many a time, but would it not just be easier and more polite to supply people with the tools so that they don't have to do that? A loo brush doesn't have to be really shitty - I always flush the loo with the brush still down there to remove any stuck on bits, and it goes straight back into the receptacle full of bleach afterwards. It's not ideal but it's better than the alternative.

And what does the OP do about skidmarks the rest of the time? Or do her whole family all have sparkly unicorn shit that slides down without a trace while simultaneously giving off a fragrance of roses?

Can any other poster please help me work out what songlark was implying by these sentences, since it apparently wasn't what the words actually say: "What I do object to is someone who just calls to pick his DO up and suddenly decides he needs a shit in your toilet. Unless he has bowel problems this isn't acceptable."

Gabilan · 03/06/2015 13:57

"Can any other poster please help me work out what songlark was implying by these sentences"

It means s/he is bored and enjoys arguing about shit on the internet. In fairness, we've all been there.

I see, thank you for the clarity

Songlark · 03/06/2015 14:00

. What I do object to is someone who just calls to pick his DO up and suddenly decides he needs a shit in your toilet. Unless he has bowel problems this isn't acceptable.
Oh dear Ted it wasn't hard to find. I stand by what I said. If you don't like it tough, I really don't care.

ItsRainingInBaltimore · 03/06/2015 14:01

How many times do I have to say this. If someone has bowel problems you would expect them to be well used to cleaning up after themselves. So where didn't I acknowledge that?

So we are back to bowel problems again. What do we have to say to make you realise that it's not just people without bowel problems who occasionally need to take a shit at unexpected times?

I thought we'd established that.

TedAndLola · 03/06/2015 14:02

Oh dear Ted it wasn't hard to find. I stand by what I said. If you don't like it tough, I really don't care.

No it wasn't, as you can see I "found" it four minutes before you

Unfortunately for you it still says the same thing, which you now swear is not what you said. How odd.

Songlark · 03/06/2015 14:02

Gabilan you must be very bored to come on just to say that.

ItsRainingInBaltimore · 03/06/2015 14:03

Song are you one of those people who just really dislikes having people in your house generally?

BertrandRussell · 03/06/2015 14:03

I think most people would rather other people didn't shit in their loo"

Really? Why?

Songlark · 03/06/2015 14:04

You found it just before me because I hadn't bothered looking for it, I knew it was there. Why didn't you look sooner instead of spouting off.What an argumentive person you are.

YankieDandle · 03/06/2015 14:08

Back on form, Raining

Song where this thread was once amusing and funny it now has a horrible undercurrent. I'd leave them to it

Gabilan · 03/06/2015 14:10

Songlark I've been here for a while. You've never answered any of my points though.

TedAndLola · 03/06/2015 14:12

You found it just before me because I hadn't bothered looking for it, I knew it was there. Why didn't you look sooner instead of spouting off.What an argumentive person you are.

Ohhh, of course! Well it's still the same post as when I initially "found" it and it still says the same thing - that you don't like people using your toilet!

Songlark · 03/06/2015 14:14

I've given my opinion. I refuse to change it and that's that. I don't care if you don't like it. I don't have to explain myself anymore. I refuse to go round and round in circles just for the sake of argumentive people who really should just let this thread die a death. Let it go.

ItsRainingInBaltimore · 03/06/2015 14:15

Yankie that was a genuine question. Some people really do have an intense dislike of having people in their homes, they find it intrusive and stressful and can't relax or cope with the change in their routine so they never entertain or invite people round for fun, preferring to go to theirs instead. My SIL is like this.

I would have thought that someone who would get so uptight about the prospect of someone shitting in their loo would quite possibly be one of those people.

Songlark · 03/06/2015 14:16

Tedandlola please stop embarrassing yourself with lies.

CrystalMcPistol · 03/06/2015 14:17

You've been the most prolific poster!

Songlark · 03/06/2015 14:17

I agree Yankee the bullies are out in force. Some nasty undercurrents here.

TedAndLola · 03/06/2015 14:18

The problem is that you gave your opinion and then said actually that's not your opinion and you meant something else, but you're being very mysterious about what your actual opinion is. The circular bit isn't coming from me!

Nerris · 03/06/2015 14:18

The OP said there was bleach available next to the loo, the very least he could have done was stick some in the toilet to a)disintegrate the shite and b)take the edge off the poo stench. I'm not a loo snob, but FFS to stroll into someone's house and pebbledash their loo after only being in their house for 5 minutes just isn't cricket. If he was that desperate for a poo, why didn't he do one at home before he left to pick up his partner? Just a bit yeuch.

ItsRainingInBaltimore · 03/06/2015 14:18

Bleach thing explained upthread….bleach alone is not sufficient in the time he had, to make much difference.

TedAndLola · 03/06/2015 14:19

This has got to be the most entertaining exchange I've ever been involved in on MN! It's kind of like she's putting our posts through a couple of langauges on Google translate before replying, so we're all talking about different things

Songlark · 03/06/2015 14:20

Only because I'm being attacked. I'd have left this thread ages ago otherwise.

Nerris · 03/06/2015 14:22

I was referring more to the show of "effort" of cleaning up his mess, rather than it magically working in 10 minutes (although it would have made some difference in that time).
