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.

Embarrassing for him. Uncomfortable for you. Non issue though

Whiskeyjar · 02/11/2018 13:18

Yuck 🤢

BonnieF · 02/11/2018 13:18

Get a grip, FFS.

BertrandRussell · 02/11/2018 13:18

If he actually left visible poo in the loo then that is pretty disgusting. But you didn’t say he did.

I really do wonder what some people think looks are for.

Lindy2 · 02/11/2018 13:18

The poor guy only needed the loo. I would assume he hadn't come across a suitable one to stop at before he reached your house.
I think you are being rather ridiculous. Have you never needed to poo whilst sonewhere other than your own home?

AliceRR · 02/11/2018 13:19

I would be upset too

Like you say, he asked but he must have known you might have felt obliged to say yes

He should have stopped off at a public loo or something IMO

No one wants to smell a stranger’s poo in their home!! 💩

jq28 · 02/11/2018 13:19

Omg
Vile as if he didn't that

Alfie190 · 02/11/2018 13:19

I was surprised by a delivery driver asking to use my loo recently. He was literally delivering my item for thirty seconds but has to go to the loo. I feel he should have gone to a public facility not a customers house. Anyway it was just a pee, he could have put the seat down.

I am sure your delivery driver did not really want to have a poo in a customers house but couldn’t help it. However what he could have done was clear up the evidence. That is really not on.

Rebecca36 · 02/11/2018 13:20

The poor man can't control how it smells. He asked if he could use your loo and you agreed which I think was the right thing to do but for goodness sake, stop being so fussy. We all do it sometimes & I expect he was embarrassed having to ask, but desperate.

CwtchesAreTheBest · 02/11/2018 13:20

I hope you never suffer from bowl problems or get caught short! It's a natural bodily function and I've yet to meet anyone who's shit smells like roses!!!
He should have left the toilet clean but not much he could do about the smell.

Stellenbosch · 02/11/2018 13:20

I don't think they should use client toilets. He should have gone back to the office/home/public loo

Fuck everyone on this thread, it's nasty when someone else uses your toilet, YANBU. (Especially those saying maybe he wasn't well! 😲 that makes it WORSE that you have to clean it up!)

kaytee87 · 02/11/2018 13:21

Posters saying he should have used a public facility. I'll assume you've never suffered from ibs, food poisoning, stomach bugs then? Occasionally it is impossible to hold and the urge could have come on him very suddenly

redandyellowand · 02/11/2018 13:21

I once had a man measuring for blinds. He was very overweight (this is relevant) and he asked to use the loo.
He did a wee and I went in afterwards to find a puddle of wee all over the floor where he obviously couldn’t see where he was aiming.
I’d much rather a poo in the toilet than wee spread all over the floor.

TheSteveMilliband · 02/11/2018 13:21

Do you have a toilet brush to clean with? Seem to recall toilet brushes (or lack thereof) are a mumsnet thing, along with being upset about workmen having a dump in your toilet.

timeisnotaline · 02/11/2018 13:22

He needed the loo. His job is in a truck , he doesn’t have a loo. Honestly the way they are paid he would probably struggle to find a service station.
Toilets are for wee and poo. You’d let your friends use it surely, not expect them to hold on while at your house. Is their poo nicer because they aren’t delivery guys? Poor guy. I’m with team get a grip - boil wash the handtowel?!

Chickenagain · 02/11/2018 13:22

I understand exactly where you are coming from. It was probably a McShit. Used to get a customer come into my shop on a Saturday morning, use the staff loos & stink them out for hours.
Next time just lie. "sorry, bad timing, loo is out of order and you are waiting for a plumber".

WitsEnd2018 · 02/11/2018 13:22

My husband has told me to ask for the delivery charge to refunded, I won't but I'm pissed off. Then they sat outside my house for 15 mins must have been having a lunch break. Took a dump in my house and then he had his sandwiches.

He might not have had time. He might have had a condition wh ete the bed to go comes on ready suddenly.

Notwiththeseknees · 02/11/2018 13:23

Hahahahaha it was definitely a McShit! 

spidey66 · 02/11/2018 13:24

I don't get this. It's a toilet, it's what it's for. Does your poo smell of flowers or something?

GoodJanet · 02/11/2018 13:25

Just think,

Will this matter in five minutes, in five hours, in five days?

If not, then it’s probably not worth getting upset over.

WitsEnd2018 · 02/11/2018 13:25

Ugh no I don't have a toilet brush, I think they are revolting. I will not have a manky skid marked brush beside my toilet 

I put my marigolds on and scrubbed by hand using bleach.

PortiaCastis · 02/11/2018 13:26

Dont be ridiculous OP delivery charges refunded because of a poo is bordering on hysterical

Valasca · 02/11/2018 13:26

“Have you never needed to poo whilst sonewhere other than your own home?”

Yes. But I don’t leave a mess so the other person has to clean the toilet after my dump.

It’s fucking vile to leave shit stains in someone’s home. The OP said she needed to clean the toilet after his dump.

How old are you, 10!
