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.

Rudgie47 what the actual fcuk?!

So Tradesmen should now be treated as second class citizens and should be made to shit outside like a wild animal because you don't think they should use a toilet whose actual function is for peeing and pooing in?

What if he was no where near a wooded area? Unless he is a centaur I think it's illegal for him to take a dump in a public place.

To those precious petals who find it horrendous that a tradesperson may need to use your loo perhaps don't hire anyone and go fetch your own heavy furniture/ fix your own household faults/ decorating etc.

Or get a bloody loo brush (kept dipped in disinfectant) and an air freshener so they can clean up and mask any smells.

I'm expecting an Amazon delivery shortly, better hire a portaloo in case the driver needs a shit in my house.

They are absolutely revolting

Yes, sloshing lots of bleach around and sticking your hand down the bowl after every poo is a much better solution.

"I usually wouldn't let a delivery person use my toilet, but that is because I am usually in my house as a lone woman with a small child and I wouldn't risk it"

How is he any more of a risk to you in the toilet than anywhere else in the house where he's delivering furniture?

if he couldn't find a public loo in a supermarket/pub/coffee shop etc, he should have gone behind a bush or out in the countryside somewhere.

So there are people here who would rather have people pooing in the bushes, which I think is potentially a health hazard (imagine a kid slipping in it!) or down an alley or something that using a toilet. You know, those things designed for it.

This is the weirdest thread.

@Dorsetdays It's not a MN thing, how can it be it's not like we're a family. Until MN I can't remember ever going to a single house where they didn't have a toilet brush.

I didn't really mean one who was already inside. I meant the sort of delivery where you sign for it and they leave.

I mean until MN I didn't know that anyone thought they were gross... They have always been standard for me. Growing up, family/friend's houses, halls, numerous houseshares. Etc etc.

Thank you Laurie y

Yes because a bleached loo brush with a long handle so you don't have to get too close to the loo which is rinsed when you flush is much more disgusting than sticking your hand down a poo smeared loo with your face close to it breathing in those teeny weeny poo particles.....

I mean until MN I didn't know that anyone thought they were gross... They have always been standard for me. Growing up, family/friend's houses, halls, numerous houseshares

Exactly. Cleaning loos is not a pretty business, let's face it, but they're practical and sensible and simple measures can be taken to keep them as clean as possible.

Dorsetdays the op was having furniture delivered, she says in the op that be brang it in. I don't think many people get furtiture delivered to their door steps or hallways, normaly they are put in the desired room. This could be living room, bedroom, dining room... the list does on.

But then, if you don't want them to use your loo, you can say no, not allow them to then make out like you're a victim because they used the loo for its designed purpose!

I know it’s mean, but I don’t let strangers use my toilet. Delivery man asked me recently, I lied and said my DH was in the bath!

MN has always been really weird about bodily waste though. I remember reading thread which seriously argued that someone with IBS which left them prone to farting shouldn't take plane flights and possibly other forms of public transport.

@ GabsAlot i can just see the headlines

man uses loo

then eats own sandwich

homeowner skips her lunch

Yes but then it would be : Burns hand towel and sadly sets fore to home. "At least the smell has gone" says ex-homeowner.

Using someone's bog and then having lunch, all 15 minutes of it? In the cab? Bloody slacker.

I feel sorry for the bloke. No public toilets round here.

"Sorry this is unbelievable. This was a perfectly normal situation of a human being using sanitary facilities. Yes bodily functions smell but nobody since the Victorians believes it does you any harm. Delivery drivers work hard on tight schedules and are often limited in where they can park a van/lorry for a break. They are human, they sometimes unexpectedly need the loo. "

This.

Those who think that the shitter in question should have just found a public toilet/pub/shop/bush/hole in the ground instead of asking OP if he could use her toilet are also the kind who would take to their keyboards in outrage and rant on MN if a delivery was half an hour late because they had to spend time finding a bloody toilet!

So many fucking dangers in life eh?!!
Despite the hysteria from some on here, poo is really not as dangerous as nuclear waste, it really isn't.
We all produce it, yours is not better than a stranger's.
Ok, it's an inconvenience if you have to clean a skidmark but it won't kill you.
Not having a toilet brush isn't weird either. They probably harbour more germs than a freshly dumped turd.
I think instead of making films about zombies and vampires, the horror film makers should produce a film about shit. That would scare the living daylights out of the delicate flowers on this thread.

I’m glad I don’t live with any of you then as in my 45 years I have never once had to scrub a toilet to get rid of stubborn skidmarks! Bleach squirted around the bowl and under the rim and left it do it’s job for 20 mins has always worked 100%.

What are you people eating??

haveu heard of ibs crohns?

some people cant help it

i just want to know if op hasmanaged to eat yet after her trauma

Tradespeople know not to crap in the loos of private houses

And not to use the good entrance to the house either, one hopes.

I'd love to know the secret of how to 'regulate when we poo'. I don't have IBS or anything, but IME it's damn near impossible to ignore the urge for a shit.

Gabs. I’m a coeliac but still manage to clean the toilet using just bleach so would expect a grown man to manage equally well.

Bleach squirted around the bowl and under the rim and left it do it’s job for 20 mins

Urg so you let it just sit there for 20 mins. Boke.

True story.

When Delia Smith was filming one of her tv series at her home she refused to let the crew use the toilet in her house so she had a portaloo delivered.
At the end of the filming the removed it to discover one of her cats underneath it.

See, being a dick about your toilet can have serious consequences.

Laurie. What exactly is left sitting there? What are you leaving in your toilet? It all gets flushed away... you then bleach the toilet, leave it for 20 mins whilst you clean the rest of the bathroom/cloak room.

I do my toilets daily so there’s not that much to clean!

he should have gone behind a bush or out in the countryside somewhere.

And how would he have wiped his arse? Leaving a shit under a bush is better than down a toilet?

This thread just keep on giving. I’ve been crying with laughter again today. Hysterical. The myognist comment and the one about him shitting in the wilderness particularly made me smile. Your response was hilarious @Badcat666.

I didn’t realise there were such horrible, snobby people about.
