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.

toilet brushes are gross, I don't keep one. I use those tablets which dye your water pink/purple and keep bleach near by.
Air freshener covers nothing you can still smell poo but those toilet spray things the little ones are apparently good.

@WitsEnd2018 you're making me laugh some people on here seem to have really low standards and almost bragging over their poo habits! This thread has definitely encouraged me to carry on with my refusal to allow randomers use my loo!

I think I'm a great person actually! Bollocks to you all of you that think otherwise!

lol op that's the right attitude to have, people on here seem to want to be angry for no reason like you shagged their husband or something its bizarre.
Would hate to be so angry and negative all the time.

If you ignore all the side issues and the politics of loo brushes, it really boils down to this:

A strange man makes you feel obliged to let him use your loo. He does a massive shit that stinks for ages.

Are you
a) a bit sickened and annoyed enough to have a little rant about it
b) totally unmoved, not bothered in any way cos you're that fucking reasonable

I'd say either option is within a broad 'normal' category, on reflection. Trouble is that on this thread all the 'b' types are trying to label the 'a' response as inherently evil or something

#TeamFuckingReasonable

#teamfuckingreasonable here too.

This thread is both hilarious and hysterical. You lot should have tried working in pubs and hotels in holidays as a teenager and student; cleaning the gents was always a joy but we just got on with it rather than having a prissy fit.

@HairyArmpits

Could you miss the point any more? It is entirely reasonable to not like someone else to use your toilet, that’s your prerogative. However when asked you need to tell the individual concerned that they cannot use your facilities - the OP didn’t do this and hence has lost all right to complain that the said man concerned did indeed use the toilet in the way it was designed for.

I personally think your over the top protectionism of your toilet seat is likely unnecessary, I very much doubt your arse is any better or any worse than anyone else’s. In fact this bizarre defence of an inanimate object seems quite infantile and perhaps suggestive of some unresolved issues (non toilet related) - I hope you get the help you need

Most people who are a bit grossed out by a stranger's stinky poo probably don't actually need professional help. Maybe some do.

I bet half of #teamfuckingreasonable would actually have a little boak or some reaction of some sort in OP's situation anyway. The other half are the sort who are so straight-faced and matter-of-fact they never find anything funny either.

There's something very Mary Whitehouse about the dogged refusal to be even mildly disgusted because "we all poo, dear."

I think some of us might have a reaction, but not enough to kick up such a fuss or even post on MN about it. It's the OP's batshit cray cray hysteria that is way over-board.

I bet half of #teamfuckingreasonable would actually have a little boak or some reaction of some sort in OP's situation anyway. Yes, but I wouldn't feel the need to rant about it on MN. Nor would I feel that there was anything inherently worse about a delivery man's poo compared with any other poo. I wouldn't be deciding I had to boil wash the towel because it had been contaminated by his using it to dry his hands.

Well maybe. But people start threads about all sorts of minor irritations, don't they?

What I saw on this thread was loads of people just delighted to be able to take the high moral ground because there was the delicious possibility that the OP was a snob !! When in reality she just fancied a moan about something that bothered her, and half the people wielding pitchforks would have been similarly sickened.

Comedy gold.

OP thinks her own shit doesnt stink

OP thinks her own shit doesnt stink

I find the people who are so comfortable with other people poo etc, seem really vulgar in general. What a gross way to speak.

Going against the MN grain of the half a dozen or so answers I have read so far @#WitsEnd2018
I Know exactly what you're on about.... the rational side of the workman needing the loo and I could hardly ask him to dig a hole and crap in it at the bottom of the garden like next doors cat was completly overridden by the totally irrational "WTAF DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING CRAPPING IN MY TOILET AND SHOWING ME YOUR ENTIRE LACK OF BOWEL HEALTH BY LEAVING SKID MARKS ALL DOWN THE TOILET? THE SMELL IS MAKING ME PHYSICALLY WRETCH FFS!!!" Also I have a nose like a bloodhound and he was clearly a smoker with a Meat and beer heavy diet judging by the smell (yes I can sadly tell by the smell of someone's crap if they smoke etc, it's a curse that ginger haired Scottish bird on tv who claimed to be a dr a few yrs ago whose name eludes me would have proud of!)
You will get over it after a bottle of bleach, a new toilet brush, some candles and six months intensive therapy

Apparently it's only working class people's shit that stinks. I'm wondering if a high court judge had used the loo what would have happened. If you are being serious OP you are a horrid snob. You'd have a fit on a farm. We literally wade through shit.

I think it was the unexpectedness of it all as well that added to my upset. I was just expecting my furniture to be delivered, a quick in & out. Instead I got a whole load of shite & angst.

I've got another furniture delivery on Monday ( different company, so fingers crossed) DH will be home so he can deal with it, I'm gonna go out.

No one said anything about class.

It's the fact that it's a strange man's shit. There's no evidence that a high court judge would elicit any different response.

I think it was the unexpectedness of it all

Delivery man may have had the same feeling. But if he had rung ahead it would have given you time to prepare I guess.

@Cressida89

You too also seem to be very much missing the point imo. Whether you, I or anyone else is perturbed by the stench or otherwise of someone going to the toilet is very much secondary to the fact that the OP, as she openly admits, allowed this chap to use her toilet. If she doesn’t like that sort of thing then fine, politely decline but please don’t let someone use your oh so precious toilet for the purpose it was designed for and then run off to MN to post your disgust. OP has no sympathy whatsoever from me not because she doesn’t want anyone else to use her toilet but because she agreed for this chap to use it.

Also, you lazy attempt to turn this into some sort of class war with your use of the word ‘snob’ perhaps demonstrates more about you and your way of thinking than it does about those posting. This is quite simple; man asks to use toilet, proprietor openly agrees, man uses toilet, proprietor complains about man using toilet - it’s bizarre that she, as the only individual capable of preventing this from happening and chose not to can then turn around to complain about this! Help yourself OP and say no next time, save your angst for yourself who in this case let you down - nobody else did

URBU frankly. Where is your compassion? Should he just shit in your garden instead? 🙄🙄

I also can't believe how many of you have toilet brushes, they are disgusting. Poo particles & poo juice on a bristly stick permanently positioned beside your loo. Think of all the germs! Yuck!

Totally get you OP! I had my supermarket shop delivered by a guy who asked to use my loo. Very awkwardly said yes, then he was in there for half an hour....yes, half an hour! I was stuck in my flat not having any idea whether passed out, fallen asleep or was reading a newspaper whilst enjoying a dump. Either way, I was sat downstairs waiting for him to come out, feeling super uncomfortable, and ended up with a delivery of multiple shopping bags plus a giant skid mark and a blocked toilet.
