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.

Dejavu. This thread is almost identical to one on here years ago.

I’m obviously in the minority here but I wouldn’t have allowed a complete stranger into my home under any circumstances.

As long as you are prepared for furnirture etc to be left at your front door for you to deal with then fill your boots.

You don’t know what diseases strangers might have. I never sit on public toilets for that exact reason.

You'd have to be very very unlucky to catch a 'disease' off a loo seat.

I never thought she was Joanne (nor did I even imply it). I just thought she might be having a little fun, and doing it in a much more classy fashion than is sometimes the case.

I am not yet convinced that this isn't the case!

Sorry, my last post was to Joanne at MNHQ. Gosh this thread is moving fast (like those of us with IBS!!)

OP, why does the concept of tradesmen's poo leave you feeling sick for ages when that of family's and friends' poos doesn't? Do you cross-examine friends to check their hygiene standards?

There’s something particularly inhuman about denying a delivery person the use of the toilet as he or she goes about their work.

I’m glad you let him use it op and sorry about your issues, which you may find can be helped with cbt.

Sorry, inhumane

If there is a next time just instruct whoever to open the window if necessary give it 20 mins then go and sort.

But I don't think you are unreasonable - he knew what was going to happen and its not fair to inflict that on customers

Not really sure why people don’t know how he could have cleaned up without a brush. He could have got some toilet paper and wiped it down

The thing is, @Alfie190, that OP hasn't actually said there was anything that needed to be wiped down, despite the point being queried a number of times.

You gave him permission to use the loo, is he supposed to tell yo what for first?

And if you don't have a loo brush how is he supposed to clean the loo? Cos if I'd done a poo in someone's house and it was dirty after, I'd clean it using the brush, but wouldn't be able to otherwise.

But I don't think you are unreasonable - he knew what was going to happen and its not fair to inflict that on customers

Okay...given that there may not have been public loos available and that his need may well have been pressing...what would you suggest as an alternative?

Next time someone random asks to use the toilet just say no 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t get how you can allow someone, who asked, to use the toilet then complain when they use it?

Thank you, everyone. I haven’t laughed so much since ‘snapped and farted’.

Seriously, OP, if this is your biggest problem...

And now you're begrudging the man of a sandwich?!

Ok just to clarify - huge stink, one skid mark. Towel left barely hanging on rail.

Towel left barely hanging on rail.

Oh the humanity!

You need to log it with 101. Seriously Hyacinth, don't take this shit lying down.

I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with this OP. Towels almost falling on the floor is a serious issue.

We will start a JustGiving page for you to crowdfund a new towel and some V.I.Poo.

YANBU

Human excrement is rank, it smells horrible for a reason, it's meant to be offensive! Only on MN would people say you are precious to be grossed out by a stranger having a smelly dump in your loo

My bathroom is a fragrant sanctuary. Of course I poo, I am only human after all, but I use lemongrass oil for any odours and always clean after myself so that anyone else using said loo does not have to face the aftermath of the emptying of my bowels!

Wits I generally agree with you on most threads but wtf?! Next time just say no.

Burn the house down and emigrate OP.

It's threads like this that have earned MN it's reputation of being populated by hysterical crackpots.

Towel left barely hanging on rail The horror! The horror!

why does the concept of tradesmen's poo leave you feeling sick for ages when that of family's and friends' poos doesn't?

This has made me wonder –what if someone's family member or friend is a tradesman (woman)? Horrifying poo or not horrifying poo? Allowed or disallowed from using the facilities?

I really don't understand why the OP is getting so much stick for her post. She let the driver use her loo. She just didn't like having to clean up afterwards and the stink that was left behind. Even if she has to wash her towels and feels like crying because of OCD or some such other thing, then why is she getting no sympathy for that? Let's not pretend that everyone here wouldn't feel even a modicum of disgust after a stranger took a stinky dump in their house and left something in your loo for you to clean up! Let's not pretend that you are all absolutely fine when you walk in to a public loo and stinks to high heaven because someone before you had just done their business there! Yes, our bodily functions are natural. None of them smell of roses but it doesn't mean that we can't feel disgusted by the "aromas" of other people's business!

If the OP does have any OCD, known or unknown to her, or she is just a clean freak, it's her house. She likes it clean. Maybe she likes it perfect. All this in mind, she still allowed a stranger to use her loo because she is clearly a nice woman. Surely you could all cut her some slack for simply stating she just didn't like someone else's stink in her home and is upset about having to clean up the loo afterwards too?
