Both of us currently working from home. He has popped out to get some essentials on his lunch break. Uses the bathroom before he goes out. While he's out I need the loo, the dirty sod has left it blocked with the worlds biggest poo! It took me ages to unblock the toilet. I wouldn't have bothered if it weren't for the fact that I needed to go myself and we only have the one toilet in the house.

Seriously is it me or is it very disrespectful to go out and leave the bathroom in that state for the next person? He's a 43 year old, professional, intelligent man. Not a child. It's going to be a long old quarantine period if I'm having to deal with shit like that - pun intended.

Would you say anything?

Teach him to double flush. Poo, flush. Paper, flush. Then there either won't be an issue or he will find out the issue before you do.

Cocoandclive27 · 17/03/2020 15:41

@randomchap well we've had the issue of significant blockages before but he's usually sorted it himself in the past

Wasn’t an almost identical thread on here last week? Why do so many women need confirmation that they married slobs!

Tell him he’s a dirty git, then he can deny it and you can both row.

No need for tact.

Would it be possible for him to nip them into sections with anal floor exercises?

manually dismantle

🤢🤢🤢😱😱🤮

If it's discovered last thing at night, a tip I learned from MN, is to squirt some washing up liquid down and very carefully a kettle of hot water, avoiding the sides of the loo. This should break down the fats overnight to flush away first thing.

You're welcome.

That clip is horrible Sad. Those kids look terrified of their horrible mother.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 17/03/2020 16:43

Do you all check everything has gone? I usually pull the flush without a backward glance

Ninkanink · 17/03/2020 16:44

I check every time and spray/clean as necessary. And yes, I do use a loo brush. So does my DH.

MuseumOfYou · 17/03/2020 16:45

I think you would have an inkling when a backward glance would be useful!

JigsawsAreInPieces · 17/03/2020 16:49

I prefer to leave a loo in the same state that I found it. ie clean and pleasant for the next person to use. Hmm

MauriceandAlec · 17/03/2020 16:49

I am so glad I am a lesbian.

Roomba · 17/03/2020 16:58

DS2 manages to block the loo with enormous er, products regularly. But he has the decency to try and sort it himself and to alert me if he has any problem getting rid of it. And he is seven! He wouldn't dream of just walking off and leaving it. In his case it is due to serious constipation issues which are much better now but still affect him.

damnthatanxiety · 17/03/2020 16:58

umm, I never look back at the loo after I have flush...I wash my hands.....I leave. I am now wondering if other people all go back to the loo and peek Confused. Have I been doing it wrong all these years? I really don't think I have blocked the loo up enough times in my life to warrant checking. I generally don't check things that generally go right incase a very very unlikely things happens.

RishiSunakFanClub · 17/03/2020 17:04

OP - that is revolting. I don't know how but I would have tried to transport it to his office chair Grin

I always check and I live alone - I don't want anything festering in the bottom of the loo for hours.

Ninkanink · 17/03/2020 17:06

I flush the toilet and whilst it’s doing its thing I wash my hands. I then glance at the bowl to check; if the flush has cleaned it all away, I don’t need to do anything further. If the bowl needs cleaning I quickly do so and then wash my hands again.

SpoonBlender · 17/03/2020 17:06

Check every time, of course! We've changed diet recently (much closer to veggie) and it's definitely made a mark...

Ninkanink · 17/03/2020 17:09

Also just to clarify, I’ve never blocked a toilet. I’m just referring to streaks etc. However I know that I definitely would never, ever just leave a big poo in the toilet for someone else to deal with. That’s just grim. I’ve got respect for others, and self-respect too!

Cocoandclive27 · 17/03/2020 17:33

To the lesbian comment - not all men are filthy pigs and some women are gross. I lived with some truly disgusting women at uni so I don't think your sexuality necessarily protects you against such things.

He's actually been quite lazy with me in some other ways lately and if he knowingly left it like that then it sure shows what he thinks of me. Not impressed at all

OP posts:
Ninkanink · 17/03/2020 17:37

Definitely isn’t all men!

@Cocoandclive27 I wouldn’t be impressed either and if it’s combined with shitty behaviour (pun wholly intended) elsewhere then I’d likely be taking steps to evict him from my life. So disrespectful.

A frank talk is in order, I think, and then no more chances at all.

Firelink · 17/03/2020 17:46

Fishslice works a treat on mega turds.

MauriceandAlec · 17/03/2020 17:49

so I don't think your sexuality necessarily protects you against such things.

I've met a lot of gross women, but far far far more utterly disgusting men. At any rate, they do nothing for me so if people want to live with some rank pig who expects other people to deal with their shit, literally, that's their lookout.

supersop60 · 17/03/2020 17:50

It's a pity you needed to use the loo too, or I would have advised leaving it for him to sort out when he got back.
My DP sometimes does this, and the children go ape at him. He's not a four-year old - why does he do it?
YANBU to be disgusted OP.

supersop60 · 17/03/2020 17:51

SpoonBlender - a veggie diet leads to better poos. Meat poos are disgusting.
