Delivery driver just had a dump at my house!

AIBU? I've just had some furniture delivered and the first thing the guy said was, 'Can I use your loo?' I didn't want him to but felt that I couldn't refuse so I reluctantly said yes. He was in there for ages. He's had a smelly dump. It fucking stinks. I could have cried. He then bought the furniture in and I've just had to go and clean the toilet. I'm disgusted.

Okay, no one likes the smell of shit.
No one likes cleaning other people's skidders.
You said he could use the toilet, he did.

The very overdramatic and angry description of him eating his dinner and how he left your hand towel shows you really are dragging this out for a lot more than it needs to be.

I clean up after myself. If someone does not have a toilet brush I am not sticking my hand down the loo.

Waspnest · 02/11/2018 15:05

OP I'd have been pissed off too (and I'm not a clean freak sort of person). Clearly he wasn't embarrassed, he sat outside her house having his lunch afterwards, if he had been he'd have scarpered asap (no doubt because this is AIBU someone will say he NEEDED to eat right at that moment because his blood sugar was too low or some other crap). At least next time you can honestly say no because regretfully last time you allowed a delivery man to use the loo they left a mess.

Around here all the delivery men seem to wee in the hedges though the BT engineer weeing against a road sign was a bit of an unwanted surprise on the school run.

For goodness sake, what was the poor man meant to do? Realise it was smelly and deodorise it in some way? It’s a flush toilet, it is designed to receive and dispose of all poos, the stinky ones and the rose scented ones some MN people seem to produce. Or are they victims of the delusion that ‘their own shit don’t stink’?

And for those people who wouldn’t allow a delivery man or trades person to use their loo - that’s awful, so elitist and unfriendly. If someone is working in my house (a good 20 minute walk from the nearest public facility), of course they can I use my loo. I don’t want them to have to soil themselves or shit in a hedge somewhere. If I have to light a candle afterwards or perhaps wash a towel it wouldn’t be a big deal.

It's a toilet. He's a human being, he shits like we all do.
You won't die.
Grow up.

m00rfarm · 02/11/2018 15:09

If you have a shit, then flush each time immediately and it does not stink. Easy. And to those of you say open a window - lots of bathrooms do not have windows and it takes forever for the smell to disperse using the extractors. Just dump, flush and repeat as necessary. Immediately.

starkid · 02/11/2018 15:10

Oh honestly. Are guests meant to ask you for gloves and bleach to clean the toilet after going to the toilet? That's what loo brushes are for, then chuck them when manky.
People poo, sorry, would you rather he did it in your front garden? His pants? He might have IBS or Crohns and can't help it.
It's gross of course, especially someone you don't know, and you don't have to be happy about it but it's nature, and your DH asking for the delivery charge back is an awful thing to suggest!
And are they meant to hide eating sandwiches from the public, or not have a proper lunch break?

Also for everyone suggesting them, have fun finding many public toilets these days.

Kemer2018 · 02/11/2018 15:11

Op do you not live with a man?

PineappleTart · 02/11/2018 15:12

Wow. I suffer from ibs and my partner from Crohns, bathrooms generally stink after we've visited and it isn't always pretty. The worst thing is that neither of us can control that, it's painful and embarrassing. Partner is a tradesman and has to work, what is he supposed to do?

I don't suppose he ruined your whole bathroom on purpose. You seem like the kind who will throw out the towel anyway, although the fact he used it means he washed his hands.

OP in future just say no.

AGHHHH · 02/11/2018 15:12

@m00rfarm I flush immediately. I didn't realise people waited, is that a thing? Mine still stinks. Blush

m00rfarm · 02/11/2018 15:14

@AGHHHH - I find if I flush quickly enough, then it does not smell. Even if I have not quite "finished" I flush - I can still do a second flush (yes - not economical with the water ...)

Pebble21uk · 02/11/2018 15:15

@m00rfarm I used to work in a prison and when men had to share a cell with the toilet inside it - they did this. It was universally known as a 'courtesy flush'

MrsChollySawcutt · 02/11/2018 15:16

OP get over yourself, your post is utterly ridiculous. You are complaining because a man used your loo?

This 'oh I'm such a special snowflake, I can't bear a smelly poo' is beyond daft and makes you sound about 3.

Is that really all you have to concern your brain with? 

m00rfarm · 02/11/2018 15:16

@Pebble21uk - gosh - I have not been in prison (honestly!) - just seems to be the best way to stop the horrible reek of shit!

vandrew4 · 02/11/2018 15:16

surprised no one has mentioned PooPourri,
People are banned from pooing here unless they use it. It's miracle stuff. Now nobody's shit stinks ( unless they're a working class oik I suppose)

Xmasbaby11 · 02/11/2018 15:19

How ridiculous. It's a toilet! What was the alternative for him?

Sometimes it stinks even if you flush straight away. That's what air freshener is for - and windows.

JaneJeffer · 02/11/2018 15:19

Anyone who has bowel problems and fears they will stink other people's bathrooms out should carry a box of matches and light one afterwards. The sulphur takes the smell away. Please don't burn down anyone's bathroom though Grin

Ladymargarethall · 02/11/2018 15:20

Get some VIPoo

Boohissmiss · 02/11/2018 15:20

To those saying if he had a medical condition that leaves him unable to hold to the toilet in . You don’t need to have a medical condition to randomly have a sudden urge to go to the toilet that you can’t hold in. Even if it only ever happened once in a lifetime it happens to us all .

Celebelly · 02/11/2018 15:21

If you do call to complain, you could suggest his employers give all their drivers a bottle of VIPoo spray Grin

Celebelly · 02/11/2018 15:22

Also there's nothing worse than a rancid shit smell with artificial flower air freshener sprayed over the top. It fools no one.

Welshheart · 02/11/2018 15:25

Lol I can't believe someone has actually posted this!
Next time just say no eh, you'll come across as rude but I'm sure you won't mind about that.

MrsTommyBanks · 02/11/2018 15:30

May I declare this the most batshit thread Ever.

LightastheBreeze · 02/11/2018 15:33

When I read the title I thought OP was going to say he had a dump in the front garden or somewhere like that, not just in the toilet.

Jenny17 · 02/11/2018 15:34

Erm no. Definitely not all of us.
