I've just been sprayed with perfume!

[NeverUseThisName]

I was in the loos at Costco when the person in the next cubicle started spraying perfume. Next thing I know, a mist of perfume lands on me from above. She had sprayed over the cubicle wall!

And because she didn't like the smell of the cubicle next to her, I'm now itching and scratching, because I'm having an allergic reaction to her perfume.

AIBU to think people poo in loos and you just have to accept that there may be some transient pong until they've flushed? And that you certainly don't spray other people with your own pong?!

So it's not ok for a transient smell that is natural and appropriate to seep out from your cubicle, but it is ok for you to put your unnatural, inappropriate and potentially dangerous smell into someone else's cubicle?

Thats more appaling than the original smell! I spray a little bit of perfume on me before i leave the cubicle so there isnt a smell following me😀 i wouldnt dream of doing it over the cubicle to someone else.
You should have called her out on it next time the reaction could be a lot worse for some poor sod.

Cheeseandcucumber THANK YOU!

Larry David is exactly who I thought of when reading this 😂😂

Op is now itching and scratching due the ignorant womans perfume why on earth should she cheer up? What if she had had asthma or a stronger reaction?
Its not ok xmas has nothing to do with it.

Can one of the courtesy flush proponents please explain what stage 1 is, and how many other stages there are, please?

chemenger please see my post ^^ but in simple terms when you have dumped but before you wipe.

OK I get it now.

I was very confused by the talk about swimming pools. I thought you'd posted on the wrong thread or something.

I'm not sure enough time passes for me between stage 1 and 2 to make it a very effective solution.

Have you heard of the courtesyflush? If you use the loo in public to poo, always courtesy flush: a flush as soon as you’ve done stage 1 to immediately sweep it away. Then a later flush when you’re actually finished

What the hell is a stage one shit?

extinctspecies now I am confused. Surely you are in control of when you wipe?

Nah, it’s ok.
It’s nearly Christmas.
Cheer TFU

If it was a certain brand of perfume I would develop a cracking headache and possibly vomit.

Not much cheery about that.

OP I would have had to say something

Stage one is shit. Stage two is wipe and paper down.

Courtesy flushes won't be the difference in the fight for the planet.

You can get drops you put down to pre-de-stink. I wouldn't bother as my arse smells like roses but you lot might need to buy some.

“I spray a little bit of perfume on me before i leave the cubicle so there isnt a smell following me”

I don’t get this. Perfume is there to add a nice layer of fragrance.

It is not there to neutralise or mask bad smells. It can’t neutralise them because it isn’t that sort of formulation (the way something containing for example carbon might be). And trying to mask a bad smell with a nice smell just makes a weird smell.

fourquenelles are you suggesting I should deliberately prolong the interval between stage 1 and 2? It takes a good 30 seconds to a minute for the cistern to refill.

What should I do in the meantime?

Flushing right after stage 1? To prevent a smell? How long do you guys take to wipe?

Now we get into the territory of whether you are a scruncher or a folder extinctspecies. If a folder the 30 seconds could be occupied by preparing the paper and/or making origami animals. If a scruncher then I can understand the frustration of having to wait.

Good grief, how long does it take people to wipe that it actually makes a difference doing an extra flush in between?

Hope everything came out alright!!! 😂
When pooing in public I do the following:
Shit, flush, shit, flush, wipe, flush

For proponents of the courtesy flush, what do you propose Three-Stagers do? Those for whom a dump is preceded by a volley of farts?

@Judas I presume that a VIPoo is the only one that ever gets dumped in a loo outside your own home: one that insists on being dealt with right now, and cannot wait until you get home.

Yes, MrTrebus, I would never want to inflict my poo smells on anyone else. I would always chose the most remote cubicle possible and flush before wiping. Pretty lacking in etiquette to put a small amount of water being used over basic good manners.

what do you propose Three-Stagers do? Those for whom a dump is preceded by a volley of farts?

I suggest a different diet!

Shout "oh my god it's coming out sideways" then make ouch noises!

Jeez.

Well I learned something new today and I am already ancient.

The British stiff upper lip way to deal with it is to hold your nose and breathe through your mouth, get done and out as quick as you can, and tell whoever you can 'God almighty, them toilets are rank!' whilst walking swiftly away en route to the M & S cafe for a cup of rejuvenating tea.
No VI Poo, perfume, courtesy wasting of resources.
