To expect the cable guy to NOT stink my bathroom out after I have just bloody cleaned it.

[tiredemma]

just had two cable guys here changing over my broadband socket, they were downstairs, i was upstairs making my bathroom pristine.

before they go, cable guy one asks to use the lav, is AGES up there- I go up to continue cleaning and it bloody STINKS!

Its bad enough having to put up with dp's toilet smells, without having to smell the guts of a stranger.

vomit.

My DP wouldn't use someone else's loo for a #2 - he was horrified when I was a long time in the ladies at the pub the other week. He told me next time he'd drive me back to his flat to use that loo instead if I'm caught short when we're out .

Oh ROFL with all these poo threads

You are mad.

Open the window, light a scented candle, and resolve never to let anyone use your loo again

Ewwww I hate it when workmen come purely for that reason.

maybe I should rephrase that?

Tell them to go to the pub first or bring a porta-loo.

Eurgghhhh. Did you know you can get medicine in Japan that stops your poo smelling? Maybe you should keep a big bottle of that on the windowsill in your hall and only let workmen upstairs if they take some first!

Seriously, I've got a complex about it too....I can't do a 2 in any other loo but my own! And definitely not in a public loo that's had other people's backsides on it!

LOL, I had so many visions around that post Bettikins

"Hallo love, sorry I'm a bit late, come to poo? Bathroom upstairs is it?"

(That was the cleanest)

Oh I am weak with laughter. Do Japanese people's poo all smell of roses then? And will they all get cancer at the age of 30 due to side effects of fragrant poo medicine? I can spot a celebrity brand endorsement opportunity for Gillian McKeith

Empie - well you don't have to sit down to use a toilet you know. Did your mother never teach you how to crouch in public loos?

When my neighbour was selling her house, one of the viewers asked to usse the toilet. She said no problem and pointed him in the right direction. He came out ten minutes later and said 'You might want to give it half an hour' then proceded to tell her her house wasn't worth as much as she wanted. She went up to clean the loo and it had been rough-casted.

ROFL at bettikins' post and esp Caligula's response

Good idea to invent a "pop up portaloo" specially for workmen to bring with them in their little white vans.
