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.

Banana, are you a good designer? I am not crafty at all, but would love to see what someone else who is could conjure up. 😂

OP. You need to get a grip. Seriously.

dontalltalkatonce · 02/11/2018 14:01

Look, don't sweat this, OP. Complain to the company that he left a mess. And next time, 'Can I use your loo?' 'No.' And then you move on with your life.

Ding ding ding! We've officially reached loonyland.

Thank you. Smile I've just spit my tea out all over my desk reading this comment and now everyone is looking at me

Topseyt · 02/11/2018 14:02

Costa, no. OP is one of the anti-toilet brush brigade. Only those of us with low hygiene standards would have toilet brushes.

How many dumps would the guy therefore have to do in a day if it’s a purposeful, misogynistic thing? He will be making several deliveries and thinking “I’ll just squeeze that bit and save the rest or my next customer...” 🙈 🤣🤣🤣 Nothing to do with being caught short then.

ilovesooty · 02/11/2018 14:02

Glad it's not just me who thinks the motion of delivery men seeking to control women by asking to use their toilet is bizarre.

Littlejayx · 02/11/2018 14:02

I was ready to kick the fuck off thinking he just shit on your door step 😂.

It’s a toilet love, that’s what you use them for, it’s not to keep your pearls 😂

bellinibobble · 02/11/2018 14:03

Can someone explain what is wrong with having/using a toilet brush?

Mummyoflittledragon · 02/11/2018 14:03

That should say “rest for my next customer.”

TheTroublesomestTribble · 02/11/2018 14:03

Ding ding ding! We've officially reached loony land.

To be fair, I thought that too until I read all 3 of the original Shitting Man threads, it was quite eye-opening.

I think Germaine Greer was spot on when she said that most women have no idea how much men actually hate us.

None . (I’ll just deregister from mumsnet now)

Miscible · 02/11/2018 14:04

It’s the Op’s home, including the toilet, so she can allow or not allow who she wants to use it

And she allowed this man to use it, Dorsetdays. So what's your point?

ilovesooty · 02/11/2018 14:05

So if a female delivery driver needs to use your toilet that's different?

SputnikBear · 02/11/2018 14:05

I’m obviously in the minority here but I wouldn’t have allowed a complete stranger into my home under any circumstances. Perhaps a police officer or someone else in a profession where they do criminal records checks etc as standard. But not a random delivery driver. He could be a thief, a rapist or anything. I’d just have said “sorry but I don’t feel safe allowing strange men into my home”.

And I totally understand how OP feels ok with friends and family using the loo but not strangers. You don’t know what diseases strangers might have. I never sit on public toilets for that exact reason.

JaneJeffer · 02/11/2018 14:07

I would be the same as Wits and have the dettol, bleach, steam cleaner on the go - after the smell went away though. Yuk!

PhilomenaButterfly · 02/11/2018 14:07

Troublesomest no, they do it because they need a shit.

Thisnamechanger · 02/11/2018 14:08

nothing

< legs it with Mummyoflittledragon >

LucyMorningStar · 02/11/2018 14:09

@SputnikBear would you have had the delivery man leave all furniture on your doorstep? Grin

Miscible · 02/11/2018 14:09

Lesson learned. It's only on MN that everyone thinks you should be running a public toilet in your home

Has anyone said that? I can't see it. All they are saying is that if you allow someone to use your toilet, you shouldn't be surprised or offended if they use it for what it's normally used for.

SaltyPeanut · 02/11/2018 14:09

When we moved in to our current home, the removals bloke asked to use the loo despite the fact there was no door because it was off for painting. We were not walking past or anything but we could still hear him and him us. Didn't stop him.

Moral: when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Cut the poor sod a little slack. Imagine if he hadn't asked but instead shit himself on your floor when he lifted the weight of your furniture delivery.

Katedotness1963 · 02/11/2018 14:10

How the hell do you get stuff delivered if you won’t let the delivery man into the house? Should he leave your goods in the middle of the garden?

JoanneMumsnet · 02/11/2018 14:11

@WitsEnd2018

Yes, this is so. Smile

LostInShoebiz · 02/11/2018 14:11

Your house must be very small if he made it stink throughout. Or he must be very unwell. Either way I feel sorry for someone.

Titsywoo · 02/11/2018 14:13

I think everyone should have a bottle of VIPoo, it's bloody brilliant. Would have saved the day in this situation!
