Delivery driver just had a dump at my house!

[WitsEnd2018]

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.

If a public toilet mings, I'll try to avoid it

Finally, an honest person!

If a delivery guy went into my loo and I could smell lit matches I would reallywonder what he was doing in there.

Despite the ribbing you’re getting on here I don’t think yabu. I had something similar happen, a washing machine repairman arrived early and asked to use the loo. He put the washing machine on a spin and didn’t come out until long after it had finished - a spin takes 12 mins

I felt really uncomfortable not knowing wtf he was getting up to in there and cleaned everything after he left. Worst of all he didn’t fix the fault on the WM and I couldn’t face him being sent out again so just put up with it. I don’t care if it makes me precious, I felt uncomfortable in my own home.

The man was desperate obviously, you have no heart,, But if this is an all time problem for you. as in strangers in my loo, maybe you could have asked him to use your garden,. and kept watch on him through the window.,to make sure he didn't crap on a gnome or something. But you will have to hang up some toilet paper on the fence,

There are hardly any public loos around-not that aren't located within a shopping centre or complex, where he would haev to park, perhaps pay, and take more time out of his schedule to do so-delivery drivers often have high targets and are paid per delivery-their schedules can be really hard to stick to given traffic and time restrictions,sometimes even if theyre early they;re not allowed to deliver it-they have to be on time! It's not pleasant I agree but It's hardly something to be mad with him about-everyone has to shit and most of us can't do it when we choose, when you gotta go you've gotta go!

Could you perhaps get him sacked and blacklisted from ever working again?

I agree with the op, it would make me feel sick if a total stranger did a huge honking turd in my loo

Could you perhaps get him sacked and blacklisted from ever working again?

I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't use clients' lavs. I work mostly in a rural area and am often several miles from the nearest public bog.

I even plan my visits so that any appointment in a house that's minging is in between 2 appointments that pass the "pee and tea" test.

Occasionally, when a client has forgotten and gone out, I've had to stop by woods or up farm tracks for an alfresco piss.

Oh my god. It's another human being. Stop being a princess and get over yourself.

Oh wrenika she is probably already cringing at the thought of herself sitting where delivery man sat. And pooed. Oh the very thought

Next time say no. If someone asks to use your toilet, it stands to reason it might be because they need a poo.

You should have said no OP, he should have used either a public toilet or one at a supermarket/shopping centre/pub etc.
I'd complain to his company, private house toilets are not for all and sundry to crap in. Everyone knows this.

Many years ago I worked as a home carer. The agency actually told us that we couldn't use clients' toilets, but should instead wait until we could use the public toilets.

My area was rural. Sometimes a half hour drive between clients (unpaid of course, and officially a "break"). I cut down on the amount of water I drank, and also cut down on food.

One particularly horrendous day I got home and realised I'd been out of the house for 16 hours without a single minute's break and hadn't been to the toilet at all.

Unsurprisingly I ended up off work sick with a kidney infection. Bloody painful and I didn't get sick pay. Now I'm older and wiser I'd never follow such a ridiculous policy that put my health at risk.

I haven't read the whole thread but I have the gist of it and I want to say OP I am right behind you. Bloody disgusting. This happened to me once with someone measuring up for something. He stank the place out and I was very not amused. He should have gone to a public loo or a coffee shop or something.

For those saying the OP gave permission so, effectively got what she bargained for... I'd assume a request to use the loo was QUICK WEE ONLY, definitely not a poo and it's most certainly not on to leave a mess.

I'm genuinely really surprised that the overwhelming majority in this thread think this was OK!

OP I'm with you on this!

Mwahaha! I used to frequent a cycling forum, where approximately every, ooh, 2 days, someone would start a fred on bike helmets/ red-light jumping/ other well-worn topic. If I hadn't logged in for a while, it was like groundhog day.

'Tradesmen taking a dump in my toilet' seems to be one of the MN equivalents.

I hope you or your kids never get IBS/ IBD and they get someone like you talking about them like this.
It’s disgusting.
He had a shit in a toilet, it’s intented purpose.

Omg had visions of driver crouched in the garden having a shite, but no seriously I have IBS and if I have to go , I have to go or I will shite in my pants, he obiously was morto and would have preferred his own bog, bless him.

I am always happy to let tradesmen use the loo if they are delivering or working in the house. Why would I not, it's a basic need which we all have. Secondly I have found that if you treat people doing work for you with respect then you tend to get a better job done. Get a sense of humanity OP.

Just caught up on this thread.

So how exactly did you expect him to clean it with out a toilet brush?

OP: perhaps you should have the house demolished and then rebuilt from scratch to get rid of the stench.

Be sure to provide a portaloo for the builders.

Why "definitely"? Surely it's at least possible that they really need a poo?
