Pooing in the en suite!!

393 replies

MisfitNinja · 03/02/2020 08:08

Settle an age old debate between myself and my DH:

Shitting in the en suite:

Yes or no?

I say no, as it will stink the bedroom out and he disagrees and says that it doesn't matter. If he needs to go he'll go whichever toilets closets!!

Why have an en-suite if you won’t shit in it?

PriscillaTheHun · 03/02/2020 08:53

We have 3 toilets. DHs poos absolutely stink, so I make him use the main bathroom upstairs. I don’t want my bedroom smelling of shite and I don’t want our downstairs being drunk out either 😷

We have the same rule, babynut!

SpamChaudFroid · 03/02/2020 08:53

Ensuites are unreasonable. Tear it out and replace with a walk-in wardrobe!

LangSpartacusCleg · 03/02/2020 08:54

The en-suite is MINE. DH uses the bathroom down the hall. I am allowed to do whatever I want in there (because I smell of Chanel #5 and poop glitter). DH is a man and therefore too stinky to trust in my bathroom.

GrimpenMire · 03/02/2020 08:54

If other loos are available I think it's polite to shit elsewhere.

If you are offending guests or other family members by shitting elsewhere it's the ensuite or put another way, if my old man can shit elsewhere but he chooses not to, I give him 'the look'.

En suite does not mean bathroom

She's not asking if we shit in the en-suite dressing room, is she?

Nanna50 · 03/02/2020 08:55

It depends on the en-suite if its squashed into a space with inadequate ventilation then no.

If it's a proper room with proper ventilation and the door is not facing my direction, then maybe.

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 03/02/2020 08:55

We had an en-suite. My side of the bed faced directly onto the loo. The number of mornings I woke up, stretched, feeling still beautifully sleepy and rested, and all 'mmmm...' then rolled over to see ExP having a crap about six feet away... It really wasn't the best of things to wake up to. If he'd shut the door, it would have been fine.

Matches are brilliant for the smell.

I dare say they burn some methane off, too 🙂, so environmentally friendly. Better than aerosol fresheners, anyway.

puds11 · 03/02/2020 09:03

Pedantic much @TatianaLarina?

Heymacarana · 03/02/2020 09:04

Dear god. Toilets that you aren’t allowed to use. Heard it all now.

How do these couples who assume each other only ever smell of roses manage on holiday? Is it off to reception or the bar for a poo so as to not stink out the hotel room Smile

SpokeTooSoon · 03/02/2020 09:04

I am allowed to.

DH is not.

I thought that was universally understood? Men don’t poo in en-suites.

puds11 · 03/02/2020 09:04

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER do you just burn a match? Does it not just smell of sulphur then?

LaurieMarlow · 03/02/2020 09:05

What's the point in having a loo you can't poo in?

TatianaLarina · 03/02/2020 09:09

She's not asking if we shit in the en-suite dressing room, is she?

She’s asking if you shit in the next/later/afterwards.

adaline · 03/02/2020 09:11

If your poo smells that bad, you should probably look at your diet!

Rebelwithverysharpclaws · 03/02/2020 09:12

Shit where you like but not in the wardrobe.

Berrymuch · 03/02/2020 09:12

Nooooooooo, unless you're having a shower straight after so it has time to be overpowered by shower gel. Nought worse than lying in bed and hearing someone poo and them opening the door and unleashing it on the bedroom. Although not keen on them in general, unless required due to finding it challenging walking to the bathroom, it seems a way to add value onto a house rather than being needed, it's a bit hotel like.

TreestumpsAndTrampolines · 03/02/2020 09:14

Only if all the other toilets are full of children, and preferably when I'm not in the bedroom. If all the other toilets are full, I will happily leave the bedroom so you can poo in peace.

And then close the door and open the window in the bathroom to dissipate the stink asap.

bridgetreilly · 03/02/2020 09:14

Obviously, you can poo in it. That's what toilets are for.

VisionQuest · 03/02/2020 09:14

Yep, I do. In fact, I just have and very satisfying it was too!

We have a rule which is to shut the bathroom door, open window and spray. Then the bedroom won't stink of shit.

However, an open door dump? No.

Yesterdayforgotten · 03/02/2020 09:15

No! Tell him to go do it in the family bathroom. The ensuite I class as practically the bedroom!

MisfitNinja · 03/02/2020 09:18

I should add this was meant light hearted and we aren't having daily arguments about this. Just a bit of 'banter'

I have no problem with him using it for a number two during the day or if no one else is in the bedroom. It's more in the evening I have an issue with. Or if we are in the adjoining bedroom. 🙈

Aren’t there sprays you can get, that you spray into the water before you poo, that mask the smell? I can’t see how they work though, as surely the smell starts when the poo leaves your arse?

SchadenfreudePersonified · 03/02/2020 09:19

What is he? Some sort of animal?
