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

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!

yes because anyone who doesn't think like you must have something mentally wrong, i know people like you Raining but unlike you, i'm far too polite to offer a character assessment.

Songlark: it's not acceptable to decide you need a shit in my toilet
Me: actually most people would find it acceptable
Songlark: THAT'S NOT WHAT I SAID
Me: What did you say?
Songlark: YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID
Me: I thought I did but you say not, so can you explain:
Songlark: STOP BULLYING ME YOU'RE TWISTING MY WORDS
Me: I'm not twisting your words, I'm using your exact words, did you mean something else?
Songlark: LET IT GO STOP BEING ARGUMENTATIVE
Me: I just want to know what you meant, can you spell it out?
Songlark: LET IT GO I'M BEING ATTACKED

YankieDandle · 03/06/2015 14:25

We're all talking shit..., where's OP anyway!

Icimoi · 03/06/2015 14:25

Songlark, is there any chance of you responding to my question up there? the one that says:

Songlark, perhaps you could explain your position, then? You seem to be saying you are OK with people using your loo if they are in your house for some time; or if they have bowel problems; but not if they're only visiting for a short time, even if they are people you know - and you refuse to engage with the possibility that sometimes people can't wait even if they don't have ongoing bowel problems. Why is that?

TheChandler · 03/06/2015 14:26

Its disgusting OP, probably one of those stupid men who has always had someone else to do those annoying little domestic things for him. Like cleaning up his own shit. I would be so annoyed I do think I might actually say something to him. I'm sure I have friends who would say something to me if I did similar. He should have just cleaned it with toilet tissue, then washed his hands. Its far less disgusting than expecting someone in who's home you are a guest to clean up your mess for you.

If he has bowel problems, he would almost certainly be far more aware of the problem and likely to clean it up.

Icimoi · 03/06/2015 14:27

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.

How do you know he was at home? Surely there's every chance that he actually collected her on his way back from something else - which may well have been some distance away?

TedAndLola · 03/06/2015 14:27

Hopefully she's out buying a toilet brush.

Nerris · 03/06/2015 14:27

cant work out what the fuck is occurring, keeps pooey comments to self and backs away from thread

Also I have unfortunately got skidmarks on my pillow, pain in my heart, caused by yooooouuuu

Delatron · 03/06/2015 14:28

I think a loo brush looks a lot better than just leaving a bottle of bleach by the toilet? You can't do that if you have kids? Vey dangerous. Have we addressed what is expected to be done with the skid marks below the surface? Until someone comes up with a good answer (and sticking your hand in the loo with toilet roll is utterly disgusting) then I think loo brushes win.

Nerris · 03/06/2015 14:29

....going round in my head.

Pressed send too early.

RubbishMantra · 03/06/2015 15:46

I think what it comes down to, if people cleaned up their own skid marks, you'd be none the wiser they'd even crapped in your toilet.

A friend's DP seemed to save all his shits up and have them round here. How did I know? The foul, lumpy shit soup, complete with croutons of loo paper, swirling in my almost overflowing toilet. He took the trouble to close the loo seat though. Hmm After the 4th blocked toilet, I was fucking fuming.

Songlark · 03/06/2015 16:01

TedandLola seriously you sound a bit unhinged. Go and have a lie down and think of nice things, rather than try to prolong a pathetic argument. justwhy are so bothered.

Bunbaker · 03/06/2015 16:08

Cracks open the popcorn Grin

Icimoi · 03/06/2015 16:18

OK, Songlark, I take it you're avoiding my nice polite question in favour of slinging abuse at TedandLola because you can't answer it. Duly noted.

BertrandRussell · 03/06/2015 16:24

As I am deeply sad, I went back through the thread to find out who it was said the sentence that boggled me most- apart from it being rude to use someone else's loo. And it was this- "Think of someone you don't know, would you be happy to have their bum sat on your toilet shitting?"

Songlark- what do you think a stranger's bum is going to do to your loo?

AuntOlive · 03/06/2015 16:40

I might invest in one of these

AuntOlive · 03/06/2015 16:46

Reading this thread makes me wonder whether or how on earth people cope with public loos? Admittedly they're not my dumping seat of choice, but even in 'naice' clean places, they will have had other people's shit in them.

CrystalMcPistol · 03/06/2015 16:55

Other people's shit??!! What a cruel world we live in.

AuntOlive · 03/06/2015 16:58

I was attempting to be ironic crystal!

CrystalMcPistol · 03/06/2015 16:59

I know.

Songlark · 03/06/2015 17:07

I really don't give a flying fuck what you think. Why don't you all publicize your addresses and let any old random fucker come use your loo. I bet you'd change your tune then. What strange people and as someone else said, it was a funny thread but all it takes is one nasty fucker and the rest pile in.

MrsRossPoldark · 03/06/2015 17:32

AuntOlive: I am so going to get one of those for my DH.

He refuses to shit anywhere except home, to the extent that he'll sit & fart uncomfortably for 3.5hrs on a train (who can blame him really), run into our house & immediately rush upstairs to crap in his own toilet. No, he doesn't clean up after he's left a mess - so back to OPs point about cleaning up after yourself!

Have to admit I love this thread! Not many places you can just let rip & talk shit for nothing (well apart from PMQs of course!).

getbusyliving · 03/06/2015 17:37

a bit off topic, but do people actually sit on public toilet seats? I have the hovering technique off to a fine art and i must have well trained bowels as the thought of pooing in public, just no!

getbusyliving · 03/06/2015 17:39

AuntOlive ha if my bowels stop behaving maybe i should invest in one of those

CrystalMcPistol · 03/06/2015 17:42

I give the seat a wipe with some toilet paper and then plonk my bum down quite happily. I'm not casting aspersions on your hovering technique getbusy but I can't help thinking it's often the hoverers that create any piddly mess.
