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.

Ciderhouse. If you’d read the posts that was in response to it was because advocates of loo brushes were claiminf they were 99.9% bacteria free which is impossible

There has also been plenty of discussion about DC & visiting DC using toilets and playing with them.

Have never had to use anything other than bleach so maybe a change of diet would help? Confused

Last night my dog shat all over the kitchen floor. I had to get on my knees at 6:10am (pre coffee!!) in my dressing gown and scrub it up, then smile and make breakfast for the kids....that WAS traumatic. A poo in the loo is nothing OP.

Crikey...only on MN do we have to give a warning when we’re being lighthearted in case some people don’t understand it (or can’t be bothered to RTFT) Confused

Dorsetdays · 05/11/2018 14:02

Tinkobell. Think that’s personal preferences, i’d far rather clean up my dogs poo than some strangers who’s crapped all over my toilet!

BigChocFrenzy · 05/11/2018 14:35

I would not let a stranger use my loo,
unless they were actually in the house to e.g. deliver furniture, repair something, read meters

If I have already trusted them enough to let them in to work in my house, then I see no additional danger in them using the loo - I don't acompany them there.

I freely use the loo at work, including for a dump
Everywhere I've worked has a loo brush, so I use that if need be and rinse under the flush

My parents always had a loo brush;
I've always had one, with loo cleaner & air freshener nearby

I expect a civilised person to use these to leave the bathroom as clean & fresh as they found it
I must confess I always scrub the loo bowl, seat & sink with disinfectant after any visitor - including family or friends - and change the towels

The brush get rinsed after every use, as I flush
Important: it gets replaced regularly and immediately if it's grubby

I have NEVER stuck my hand down the loo
Now that would be a dirty habit, imo, even with (absorbent !) paper wrapped around the hand

Have never had to use anything other than bleach so maybe a change of diet would help? confused = thank you @Dorset Hmm. Not sure how a change of diet would help with getting rid of limescale under the waterline without a loo brush; maybe you could help with that? (As that was what I asked)

IF there is a skid mark, squirt with bleach/toilet cleaner, leave as long as you can (this will also help mask any smells). Scrub with loo brush (loo brush picks up the bleach as well as the skid) and flush, rinsing the brush under the flow. Put loo brush back into it's bleachy container.

Wash hands.

I also use the same loo brush to scrub away the limescale that builds up in the bowl as a result of our hard water. Bowl = sparkling. Quick round with bleach, bowl = germ 'free' (as much as is possible)

CartwheelCath · 05/11/2018 16:12

Blimey!! Only got as far as page 5 of this thread.
I saw the title assumed this was supposed to be light hearted.
3 maybe 4 years ago this type of thread would have caused much hilarity and toilet humour! In fact I recall a couple.of similar threads to this and they didn't go down the same way the first 5 pages this one did!!

Everyone just seems so quick to shout the op down. Chill out a bit everyone.

Sparklingbrook · 05/11/2018 16:26

Yep only another 91 posts and it will be all over until the next workman using a loo thread starts...

Limensoda · 05/11/2018 17:14

Don't be bloody ridiculous.
You expect people to know a post is light hearted when there is nothing to suggest it is? And to check back on lots of pages to check all their previous posts to gauge whether the particular poster is likely being light hearted?

Fuck off.... (being light hearted in case you are offended)

MotherofDinosaurs · 05/11/2018 17:26

Limensoda is so very determined to be angry about literally anything Smile

Jagblue · 05/11/2018 17:43

Have some humanity. These men are working. They most struggle to find places to go to the toilet.
You been absolutely awful about it and I hope you aren't going to call his job to complain. I can imagine you doing that. 

SalemBlackCat4 · 05/11/2018 17:52

@MotherofDinosaurs

  1. This is about going below the water line, where many/most of the marks are.
  1. I don't soak my hand and paper in the toilet water when wiping, so your analogy is illogical and null and void. ;)
Jagblue · 05/11/2018 17:52

@WitsEnd2018 the more I read the more awful you and your husband sound.
Get the man fired why don't you. Get the delivery refunded it? Opportunist.

Limensoda · 05/11/2018 17:55

You mistake despair at stupidity for anger.

Ceilingrose · 05/11/2018 17:57

What the hell is the matter with some people? All this faux preciousness about a toilet. Grow up.

Dorsetdays · 05/11/2018 19:04

Limensoda. I think tbf you’d have to be pretty dense to not have realised MANY pages back that the OP was being lighthearted, as were many of the responses.

Yet your automatic response is to be offended Hmm

Limensoda · 05/11/2018 19:19

Limensoda. I think tbf you’d have to be pretty dense to not have realised MANY pages back that the OP was being lighthearted, as were many of the responses

Can we stick to the actual post I responded to. Anything else is irrelevant.

Dorsetdays · 05/11/2018 19:22

Yep you carry on deliberately looking for posts to be offended by...

MotherofDinosaurs · 05/11/2018 19:49

SalemBlackCat4 what YOU are specifically talking about and what I am specifically talking about might well be different though. Do you see? I am talking above and You are talking below. You do not dictate what I was talking about in my post to which you responded so aggressively. A useful distinction to think about when you're getting all aggressive and labelling people 'disgusting'.
On rejection I feel inclined to label you a bit silly. (that's lighthearted Limon before you get all aerated again)

MotherofDinosaurs · 05/11/2018 19:55

Can't believe I've spent some of my time arguing with 2 weirdos on the Internet about how I clean my toilet. LOL! Hiding this one now

VisitorsEntrance · 05/11/2018 19:58

Balls to this. I’m off out for a fag.

VisitorsEntrance · 05/11/2018 20:00

The long and short of it is this.
How often and however you want to clean your loo is your choice. I couldn’t give a shit if you use your tooth brush.

However if you fail to supply a toilet brush don’t get upset if some people leave skid marks.

PortiaCastis · 05/11/2018 20:16

Don't put the fag end down OPs bog Visitors it may explode Grin

PunkrockerGirl59 · 05/11/2018 20:27

Thank fuck for the voice of reason Visitors

You do realise though that you will have triggered a "my neighbour is smoking in their own garden and we will all die from their disgusting second hand smoke, even though it is eleventy billion miles away and our windows are closed" thread. Wink

Limensoda · 05/11/2018 20:52

Yep you carry on deliberately looking for posts to be offended by

Do you just throw out random statements whether relevant or not? 😒
