to consider using a bedpan?

[prawnsword]

It’s winter here & live in a very original style Victorian era house with poor heat insulation. The only bathroom is downstairs, down the opposite end of the house in the most bitterly cold section.

The temperature fell to 6 degrees Celsius & had to take two hot water bottles to bed instead of the usual one.

AIBU to use a bedpan so I don’t have to go downstairs ? Strictly for #1s only of course. It would be emptied 1st thing in the morning no question

My main concerns are 1. Is using a bedpan weird in today’s society ?

1. How would you feel if your housemate used a bedpan? Should this be kept very private ?

It's not fine. Chamber pots existed when people had outside toilets. Regardless of how cold you feel, it's not too cold to go to the bathroom wearing a pair of slippers bodycon dressing gown. It's just laziness.

Bodycon should be and a

YABU. Don’t be so lazy!

PMSL at “bodycon dressing gown”! That is taking fashion too far
