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.

That might of been me, caught short viewing a house, didn't sit on the seat as it looked minging... sorry I left it up

There is literally no evidence that they 'toileted' in your toilet though? They could have just lifted the lid to inspect the state of the pan - perfectly valid. In a hard water area with no regular cleaning the bowl goes brown from the water line down - grim. I'd probably look for this reason.

I didn't close the blinds though, that wasn't me!

Might be worth logging it with 101 though 🤣🤣🤣

Oh dear, a toilet ornament. Not for using, i've heard it all now.

I am entitled to have my standards of hygiene in my own house. I think that isnt ‘ damn odd and precious'

I would presume that you were equally weird and awkward in other aspects, and given how challenging buying a house can be I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole.

This is hilarious.

You need Prince Charles in your house as he apparently takes own his loo seat on his travels, so on the rightmove blurb for your house get the agent to state viewers are requested to bring their own throne seats in case they need a wee

If you're horrified at someone using a toilet, there's something wrong with you. Honestly.

1st world problem fh

Does it really matter??

Jesus, how precious can people get?

Of course you are entitled to make up (damn odd and precious rules) about your own home but everyone else is entitled to consider them odd and precious and they'll probably be put off buying your home because you'll come across as the kind of person who is awkward to deal with and that's the last person you want to buy a house from.

I've done as a few people have mentioned here and flushed the loo, turned on the taps etc when I've been on a viewing. And I always put the loo lid up when I do that, so that I can see it flushes properly and also to check the state of the loo bowl. We went to one place with the loo lid left down (which is what I always do), when we lifted the lid the bowl was just yellow and limescaled. I don't think it had seen a brush for weeks.

So they could have just done a quick check of the toilet (like opening wardrobe doors or kitchen cupboards to check the doors are OK and the space is adequate). Just because the lid's up doesn't mean it's been used.

I'm intruiged as to how the "you can only pee sitting down" poster knows her rules are being adhered to...

(Spoiler, they're not. None of the men who visit your house are doing this.)

I would've had to clean the loo immediately. I am weird about the loos in our house.

I always clean the downstairs loo after visitors, especially as blokes/boys pissing standing up always leave piss in random places. Yuck.

I kind of get that people have all kind of eccentricities and phobias etc. I'm just amazed that people don't realise it's odd. Do you never have guests at your home? (Especially kids who need the loo every half hour and can't aim). How on earth do you get through the day?

OP, we had the same thing and it was the agent who used the toilet.

Uhm IceCreamFace, I am not selling my home .

Oh and by the way, I did sell my old home a few months ago in less then 2 weeks, despite being ‘akward to deal with’

Come on. People can be disgusting. Some don’t wash their hands, some leave “ mess” and I don’t want the smell of someone else’s shit in my house cheers. bleurgh. I don’t want to clean the toilet after someone I don’t know has used it either ( I used to be a chambermaid and cleaned the toilets daily so it’s not that I’m squeamish).

It’s my personal loo and not a public one. And I don’t care if that makes me uptight actually.

No problem with toilet use, but the blind thing is strange...

People are being mean. I'd be grossed out. I'm not sure you can ask though. But maybe do open house or something so it's all in one block. Then clean the toilet after.

Suck it up buttercup! Or don't ever have any guests or workman to your home. What in earth do you expect people to do if they need the loo?

Men should pee sitting not only because of hygiene buy also because of the personal health. If they do standing they don't empty their bladder completely and this can lead to the problems with prostate in later age.

I think people who don't like toilets being used probably boil wash their towels every day and don't ever answer the door.

OH MY GOD! The madness of MN and toilets! If someone is in your home and they need the loo of course you bloody let them go. If they do a poo open the bloody window and leave it a few minutes, if you can't stand the idea of cleaning a loo after an unknown bum has sat on it then buy a house in the middle of nowhere and never have guests!
