To request people don’t use my toilet at house viewings?

[Diamondeye]

Just that really ...

As obviously it has been used today and it’s grossed me out.

@AnnieMay100 You would if you were desperate.
OP if your not happy about people using the toilet then tell the estate agent whos showing them round. Its your house still and if it makes you uncomfortable for whatever reason then you need to speak up.

Those that are horrified about shock horror, visitors using the toilet... what do you do when you have friends round? Do they have to use a plant pot outside??

I get what you mean OP.
Its a bit odd.
Surely you would find a loo before you went for a houseviewing if you had a long journey ?
Its a bit lacking in boundaries tbh

I don't think it is at all necessary for someone viewing your house to go in the bathroom and pee/poo.What are they? Four years old?
For a start they are on their own in your home with the door locked.
You may stipulate you do not want this to occur again, it's your private home, not a public toilet.
And yes they can shit, pee or cavort in the bushes. Not your problem.

@HoneyBee85

Over all the years I have had a house and had guests round, I have never, ever had to clean pee off the floor of my bathroom from any man! I'm not sure why you're stating this as if it's a fact.

'To all the piss horrified MNetters.How do you feel about children using your toilets?'

That's not really comparable is it

I've viewed many houses over the years and I've never needed to use the toilet in the 20/30 minutes that the viewing takes place. You go before the viewing surely.

ilovesooty, dont you buy a new toilet seat when you move into a new home? I do.

This has made me laugh for about ten minutes. I've never heard anything so bonkers in my life. Thanks for sharing!

I must have been most remiss not to replace everything when I moved in. No I didn't replace the toilet seat. The previous owners of my house had been dead for several months anyway.

And yes they can shit, pee or cavort in the bushes

I wouldn't be keen on that in my garden if I banned the loo. Just sayin'

Fuzzyend, then I should send my uncle to your home for a visit - he doesnt know how to aim .
He might change your mind!

Very nice to have pee on the floor of your bathroom when you get out of the shower - yuck

OP, what do you do when you have builders in?

Lots of previous threads on MN about this....

No Honeybee85 I find it damn odd and precious that you insist men sit down to urinate in your sacred toilet and then have the heebie jeebies because their bottom has touched the toilet seat even though that is what you told them to do. That's not a hygiene issue that's just strange.

I have, however, solved the riddle of the masses of toilet paper found strewn around the floor or blocking public toilets it is obviously the aftermath of those whose special bottoms can't be placed directly on a toilet seat for fear of receiving the imprint of someone else's bottom.

Wow.

You think you realise how weird people are, and then, they just get weirder...

Every house I have bought I have flushed each loo in viewing
As pp said if doing this produces a symphony of noise from the pipes I am far less interested in buying it.

I still think some of the attitudes to other people using toilets are just plain weird.

I’m going to go against the grain here. I wouldn’t expect people to be using the facilities in my home, regardless of their interest to buy. Otherwise perhaps they should also help themselves to drinks too, just in case they don’t like the way the water tastes etc.
Even if I had a full day out planned I would schedule ‘pit stops’ to allow for lunch/toilet breaks etc. I certainly wouldn’t feel entitled to use a perfect strangers home.

As someone who suffered with IBS for decades, I am eternally grateful to those who had the humanity to offer their toilet with a good grace in many many places. We all shit/piss - and cannot always choose when this happens - so just be kind. They might be checking the plumbing, or they might have a genuine need.

We had a viewer who left shit skidders on the bowl, the whole upstairs stunk and he tried opening the door without unlocking and pulled the handle off!!! And he didn't put an offer in either.

As for the blinds that is just weird.

RedDogBegs, I am sorry to hear you can’t accept that others have other standards then you without trying to get into an argument with them.

Have a nice day and please stop making this thread about imposing your opinion on others.

I am going to look at my toilets in a completely different light now. They are obviously a thing of beauty and should be admired from afar.

When I was an estate agent I didn't realise the owners had turned off their water and had a very sudden onset of the runs whilst at their house taking new photos and did a poo in their toilet, which then of course then wouldn't flush

We viewed a house and the seller said ‘when we moved in we replaced all of the China. Obviously’. I have never replaced any China when we have moved in!

You really are precious aren't you Honeybee85? I'm not trying to get into an argument with you I am merely commenting and responding to your comments and no you don't get to police or dictate what contributions I make to this thread.

You have a nice day too.

the toilet seat was left up.

Oh dear god, what did the police say? Can you please ask MN to put a trigger warning in your title.
