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.

I think you need a reality check OP, you're pathetic!!

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 02/11/2018 18:12

He could have cleaned up after himself but when I have to go, I have to go immediately sometimes. So it's mean not to let people go. How lucky those of you with cast iron stomachs and bowels must be! Given how uncomfortable & distracting it is to walk in that condition- let alone drive- to find the nearest loo, and how close a call it can sometimes be, he has my sympathy. Are you really that unfeeling OP, that you'd possibly let someone humiliate themselves? Serves you right if the next person has IBS and shits on your carpet.

This thread has made my day. Honestly, I’ve been crying with laughter reading through some of the comments.

On a serious note I think you’re being really mean and unkind but god it’s hilarious 😂

BlueJava · 02/11/2018 18:14

When I read the title I thought he'd taken a dump in your garden or something. But in the loo? YABVU - where is he meant to go? Open the window, use some Harpic, job done.

Greyhound22 · 02/11/2018 18:15

I completely agree with you OP.

It's only on Mumsnet that this is acceptable.

It's like the washing threads. Loads of people that think having a shower once or twice a week is 'plenty' 

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 02/11/2018 18:21

It's only on mn that I've come across people precious and self centred enough to not let people use their bathrooms. Unless you count Hyacinth Bucket.

Thisreallyisafarce · 02/11/2018 18:22

It's only on Mumsnet that this is acceptable.

What, doing a poo in a toilet? It's like the Cadbury's Creme Egg ad: where do you do yours?

I favour my MIL's car boot, personally. Next door's shed if I'm slumming it. I wouldn't dream of doing it in my actual toilet. Urgh.

artemis2 · 02/11/2018 18:24

Clearly this is an example of class discrimination. The OP is incapable of empathy and frankly, is a classist child. She was disgusted because it's a tradesman pooping in her house - that is the sole reason.

Everyone who agrees with the OP is also lacking in empathy. Imagine driving around all day and there's hardly any public toilets, you have IBS (which he may well have) and really need the loo...what are you supposed to do? Shit yourself? He asked for permission, he didn't barge in and use her toilet without it.

The OP had no toilet brush, so I bet he was really embarrassed by the incident. A normal person without class prejudice would just use some toilet freshener, open a window and move on... Get a grip and maybe see a doctor, OP. Re-evaluate your values because atm, you come across as a pretty prejudiced person.

derxa · 02/11/2018 18:25

Best thread for ages. Well done OP you silly bugger.

TwistinMyMelon · 02/11/2018 18:30

Omg this poo obsessiveness is becoming more and more mainstream.

At my work someone has put signs everywhere that people must use the VIpoo and clean up after a poo.

Also at another workplace I was visiting there was a sign saying that due to poor ventilation people were NOT ALLOWED to poo in that toilet. There was clearly a working extractor fan in there that came on when the light was on. I really don't understand how people with crohns or other bowel conditions are meant to be able to only poo in designated toilets.

And who are these people who make themselves poo monitors and shame people for having normal bodily functions? They have serious issues and way too much time on their hands. It's almost Freudian. Poo fear.

goodomens830 · 02/11/2018 18:33

Have a little empathy for goodness sake.

Dorsetdays · 02/11/2018 18:34

Artemis. Most ridiculous post of the entire thread so far! How on earth is this class discrimination?? You know nothing about the OP so that’s a major assumption on your part.

Question. Everyone posting on here about how ridiculous the OP is not to allow someone who knocks on her front door to enter her home and use her toilet....would you genuinely be happy to give that advice to your teenage DD at home on their own? Or your elderly parent living alone?

TwistinMyMelon · 02/11/2018 18:34

And who are these people doing really messy shits? I usually do a poo, wipe, flush, wash hands (making sure towel is neatly hanging of course), job done.

Who over the age of 3 makes a total hash of it?! I just don't understand, I made have led a very sheltered life but I don't think I've ever come across many people leaving s toilet in a total state that a quick flush hasn't solved..

Sparklesocks · 02/11/2018 18:34

This thread is hilarious! Nearly crying over a smelly poo, my goodness

WitsEnd2018 · 02/11/2018 18:35

Hey I'm not a snob! I'm working class but I don't like randoms downloading in my lovely loo. It's not his occupation / social class, it's the random bum sitting on my loo doing a poo and resulting smell that has upset me.

Sparklingbrook · 02/11/2018 18:36

Random bum

This thread is hilarious. Grin

lynmilne65 · 02/11/2018 18:42

Paid ? Service station? What???

dontalltalkatonce · 02/11/2018 18:44

I'm not sure that it's necessarily a good idea for delivery drivers to go around routinely with a box of matches in their pockets. It would be a tad unsafe when refilling fuel.

Oh, please. A matchbook in your pocket is not going to ignite when you're fueling. Smokers routinely fuel their cars with lighters or such in their pockets! Excuses, excuses to stink out your client's house. It's why I say no to delivery people using my loo. Sick of cleaning up other people's shit and smelling their foul shit because they don't have the courtesy to take care of it themselves.

dontalltalkatonce · 02/11/2018 18:45

Then just tell them no, Wits. No. Why stress about it?

Limensoda · 02/11/2018 18:46

Limensoda. I’m assuming you’re being deliberately obtuse and misunderstanding my point? My issue isn’t just with someone fusing my home in a way that I might not be comfortable with, it’s also more importantly about my personal security (and that of my family)

@Dorsetdays I was being facetious, sorry. I have to say I had not considered the personal safety aspect. I would say that's a reasonable point whereas the disgust about another human being using a toilet is not.

Sparklingbrook · 02/11/2018 18:46

The matches might ignite the huge can of Glade air freshener also in their pocket. Shock Grin

dontalltalkatonce · 02/11/2018 18:47

Maybe the blast will knock some common cleanliness in them Shock Grin.

Sparklingbrook · 02/11/2018 18:49

They will need to be carrying a small carrier bag, I am not sure pockets are big enough thinking about it.

DianaT1969 · 02/11/2018 18:49

I can see this making a great Daily Fail story with OP's sad face.

brighteyeowl17 · 02/11/2018 18:50

Why would You cry over this? Have you had such a sheltered life that his upsets you so? If so why did you even agree?
