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.

Maybe OP did need to scrub it if it had not been immediately wiped though. I guess she'd use a sponge? Fairly gross if it's someone else's shit - ok if it's yr own?

Badcat666 · 02/11/2018 23:32

I bet he looked for a loo brush and as he couldn't find one he was like "how am I meant to clean the bloody loo? How the fuck does this person CLEAN THEIR LOO??? Do they do it with their bare hands??! What kind of animal is this person??!"

How do people without loo brushes get the stubborn splatter marks off their loos or get rid of any hard water marks? Do they never get a bum explosion that requires a quick scrub once the next flush is available? OP, do you just put bleach down the loo and then scrub away with your nails?!

Putting a bit of bleach won't clean away any stubborn klingons, that is why the loo brush exists so you get those buggers off.

We all crap, it all smells. No doubt he had been holding it in for ages and had to go.

Plus lifting furniture puts a terrible strain on the old bowels so you have to go before you do any heavy lifting otherwise gravity will get the better of you.

Getting a skid mark off a loo is much easier than getting crap out of a carpet.

Well it would be easy if you had a loo brush like a rational person would.

Aroundtheworldandback · 02/11/2018 23:37

Yore not being ridiculous op I’ve had that before and it’s disgusting. Why should YOU have to clean up after a stranger? Uggh.

Boohissmiss · 02/11/2018 23:37

Yes Cressida but I doubt the OP has sponges out in her bathroom for the driver to use . Plus how would he know if those sponges were used in the toilet and not her shower sponge for example .

ladymariner · 02/11/2018 23:38

The whole point is, it does feel like a violation of a woman's personal space, and can well make you feel like crying - thats's why they do it.

Its a control thing, and horribly misogynistic in the process.

I honestly thought this was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever read on mumsnet, but then came....

my bathroom is a fragrant sanctuary

Do real actual people honestly speak like this??

And op, get a fecking grip, it's not pleasant that this happened but it's hardly worthy of all this staggeringly childish drama you are bathing in!

SerenDippitty · 02/11/2018 23:40

I suppose if you had a bum explosion you could clean anything above the water with toilet paper,but if it’s below the waterline how many people would say “sorry, I’ve made a bit of a mess could I borrow your marigolds and some harpic”?

Badcat666 · 02/11/2018 23:41

I'm not sure how other people clean their loo with a brush but if there is a skid mark or klingons then the loo brush (which is always dipped in bleach in its little holder) is rinsed after the scrub in the flush water when you flush the loo so any poo particles gets washed away.

It has a ruddy good rinse in fresh water from the loo cistern and then gets put back again into it's bleach dip home. You don't put them back in their holders covered in crap.

I'm not sure why some ppl are freaked out by loo brushes. It's not like you use it to scrub your back. You are more likely to find that whatever you clean your body with in the bath or shower has been spreading your poop particulars all over your body while you wash without you even being aware!

GabsAlot · 02/11/2018 23:42

i can just see the headlines

man uses loo

then eats own sandwich

homeowner skips her lunch

BloodHoundFight · 02/11/2018 23:51

Hang on, the cheeky cunt blocked your drive? That's it, time to log this all with 101!

@WitsEnd2018

These posts always make me chuckle. Delivery man, delivering you something, presumably something to avoid you the inconvenience of collecting it yourself, asks politely if he can use your toilet for what it is exactly designed for and you say yes. If you had any problem with what subsequently transpired you had the perfect opportunity to avoid it by politiely declining. You however likely smiled warmly and said “yes, by all means”, and then subsequently have taken the time to start a thread on Mumsnet, ‘disgusted’ to complain about someone doing something entirely normal in your toilet with your permission.

Now I have no problem if you don’t want this occur in which case you should politely decline but to say yes and quietly (not quietly) seethe about it says more about you than it does about the chap delivering whatever it was you simply couldn’t live without Smile

Did someone really say that?! Searched the thread and couldn't find it. Surely not. 

Does this person think the guy deliberately brewed up a shit so he could make a woman cry? I've never heard such silly bollocks in my life.

The poor bloke was probably touching cloth and realised that he wasn't going to make it to the next MacDonalds on the road during his long working day. He needed a shit and he used the loo for its intended purpose. I'm pretty sure he didn't want to have a turn out in your precious bog but he had no choice.

Grow up ffs. What do you do when you need a turd but you're away from home?

GabsAlot · 03/11/2018 00:13

just a tipfor next time op

just say someones in the bath sorry-alyour worries overl!

ChinUpShouldersBack · 03/11/2018 00:18

You need VI Poo on the cistern in plain site and a loo brush.
YANBU to want to boil wash the hand towel.

Badcat666 · 03/11/2018 00:22

I'm waiting for a picture of the OP in her bathroom looking shell shocked and clutching her bleach bottle to her chest to appear in a tabloid with the headline "Delivery driver dump disaster"

"He left a smell and a stain, I couldn't even eat my lunch" said the OP (aged [insert age]).

The delivery driver [who does not want to be named said] "she didn't have a loo brush? what was I meant to use? My hands?"

Gwenhwyfar · 03/11/2018 00:35

"When I was in 6th form I would go the entire day without using a loo (wee or poo) because I didn't like the loos. "

That isn't healthy.

alwaysiero · 03/11/2018 00:44

Yes you’ve heard it all and what? he works alone, nobody else will smell it. He’d be mortified if he stunk out a customers house.

HungryForSnacks · 03/11/2018 03:55

Can't believe this thread is still going 😂😂

OP, just catching up and now you reveal you don't have a loo brush in there?? How the FUCK was he meant to clean it??

And how can you tell from his appearance that he wasn't desperate to go? How should one look when they badly need to #2? Clutching their stomach and bending over in pain?

You sound a bit precious. Might be time to harden the fuck up

AGHHHH · 03/11/2018 04:11

Get a toilet brush ffs

amilosingitor · 03/11/2018 04:50

I mean, I wouldn't love it, but if he had to go he had to go and it was probably not what he would have chosen to do! Like PP said, it's what it's for after all although he should have had the decency to clean up after himself but some people just don't. My DP doesn't and I'm not one to talk about stuff like that so I just clean it and think he's gross for doing it but then I find his parents don't keep a clean toilet so I guess that's just how he was brought up and it does my head in but it's not a dealbreaker for me.

Dorsetdays · 03/11/2018 06:57

To those who’ve said it’s not ok for me to choose who I let into my own home...er yes it is! It’s not up to anyone else to dictate that.

There’s a huge difference between someone delivering something to my door, or even into my hallway, and disappearing upstairs to use my bathroom or into my bedroom to access my ensuite.

I would always make sure my DC also knew it was OK not to feel ‘pressurised’ into being polite and letting a stranger into our home, especially if they were there on their own.

No need for any delivery person to use my toilet anyway as you’re all falling over yourselves to let them use yours Grin win win.

ladymariner · 03/11/2018 07:29

snapandfarter yep they actually did....it's on page 7, at 13.58....couldn't believe my bloody eyes!!

Thisreallyisafarce · 03/11/2018 07:31

I think some people are missing the point. Obviously the OP can refuse to let a stranger into her house. That's fair enough. The issue seems to be her insistence that the stranger she did let into her house did a poo rather than a wee.

2018Already · 03/11/2018 07:36

This thread again, right down to ‘I clean my loo by hand!!’ Calm down Hyacinth.
On a side note, this country needs more public facilities.

OneStepSideways · 03/11/2018 07:47

You need a downstairs loo that is ultra feminine, fluffy pink loo roll covers and sanitary products on display, strong flower scented pot pourii. That's off putting 😂

RaymondinaReddington · 03/11/2018 08:03

Fgs this isn’t about HAVING a poo. It’s perfectly possible to have a stinky poo and not leave a trace by being consideeate. Some (men in particular) seem to view leaving as much stink and mess as possible as a mark of their manhood and cleverness. It’s like marking their territory. They might as well piss on the curtains. You have to call them out on it. I can’t believe the number of ‘poor man’ comments in support of the delivery driver.
