Newish potential bf, 4th time of meeting & I'm invited back to his house. We sit chatting in the lounge with a glass of wine having a pleasant time when I need the loo. So I say 'I just need to nip to the loo', all is fine, he tells me where it is upstairs. Oh fucking boy - when I get there there's a MASSIVE turd poking it's head out of the water! It was EVIL. Fucking enormous, never seen one so big he must have the arse of an elephant Single man living on his own, how can you forget to flush? Hmm I was so taken aback & frankly horrified, it totally killed the moment for me & I made my excuses and left. I'm guessing you're all going to call me a sissy but it just killed the passion dead. To paint a broader picture, I could tell you that the upstairs of the house was VERY run-down. Think large ceiling water leaks, tiles coming off the walls, very, very thick dust everywhere (like 10yrs worth), covering about 60 pairs of the same black winkle-picker shoes rowed up neatly & a whole bookcase filled with books like Nancy Friday. - in total contrast to the very nice well kept downstairs. There was an air of rot upstairs - more than the fabric of the building. For reference I didn't poke about, that lot was visible from the loo. It just didn't feel right. Weirdly, I didn't feel so bad about the dirt & decay, it was the turd that did it for me. Was I bu?

If it was meant to be the turd wouldn't have put you off so YANBU

Ewwwwwww YANBU. sorry, man, but dating is tough you've got to make sure you're shit has sunk 🤣

floraeasy · 20/04/2017 18:04

YADNBU!!!

You did the right thing, OP!

Some men wait until they get comfortable later on. If this man has treated you in this thoughtless way already, who knows what faeces fiascos he was going to unleash on your later on Shock

You should tell him to do one.

Except he already did Grin

This made me laugh heartily out loud thanks op!

Generally I'd expect someone who's dating to double check their ginormous turds have flushed.

My dh used to live in an absolute hovel (it was his mum's house) (think black mould covering everything in the bathroom, dust an inch thick, carpet ripped and bare, no wallpaper) but he was 26 at the time and could have cleaned it, at the very least his room, but he didn't.
When we moved in together he saw it as a fresh start and he's so clean and tidy! he felt discouraged where he was and takes pride in his house now.

So I'm not sure I'd write him off for that. But not checking the loo! Careless!!!

I'm afraid i couldn't resist and would have laughed and taken the piss out of him at the time and left, calling it "poogate". I wouldn't have left quietly so you're a bigger person than me haha

mistermagpie recently I was visiting a newish friend and her toilet was also pretty disgusting, it didn't look clean even after I'd been and flushed it and I had a similar dilemma! Was then worried for several days that she'd think the mess was me...

Meekonsandwich · 20/04/2017 21:26

Just thought!!
If he flushed and dashed or didn't flush and dashed,
Does that mean he doesn't wash his hands?!?!

Surely you'd wash your hands and the toilet would do its thing and you'd notice a huge floating turd still there!!! Depends where the sink is I guess but just a thought

SomewhatIdiosyncratic · 20/04/2017 21:31

We put the lid down and flush. Sometimes there's a surprise left when it's lifted again. Some poos are just flush resistant (Like most of my DCs'...)

Pigface1 · 20/04/2017 21:37

Gross. YANBU. And the dust etc would have freaked me out bigtime.

ForalltheSaints · 20/04/2017 21:39

Even when I lived by myself I made sure the toilet was flushed and kept clean.

End it now. Given the upstairs seems neglected you don't have to mention the toilet if you feel too embarrassed.
