To think that ensuites shouldnt be for number 2's?

[landann]

Were buying a place snd the master has an en suite, i just think that it shouldnt be used for poo's well at bedtime anyway, as otherwise massive mood killer... AIBU? Thoughts?

There is a family bathroom and downstairs WC btw. So plenty of options lol

"How do you carry on when staying in a hotel room with a bathroom?"

Judging by the amount of posters on MN who claim to be able to shit on a schedule like trained animals, they probably just don't go at all until they get home to their (secluded) toilet.

Gobsmacked.

I would certainly poo in my ensuite. Even more so if DH is in bed. I find the whole "roaring and flapping of hands" in response to the smell - absolutely hilarious.

En suite

To the naysayers, What do you do when you stay in a hotel?!

First world problems . (We have an en suite but use main bathroom always, I'm not cleaning two bathrooms for 2 people!)

Having one toilet does not mean having to shit whilst someone is in the bath

No poo loo here for en-suite, but it doesn't have a window so that's the reason

According to some on this thread they use the ones in reception, which is a logic I don’t follow.

Perhaps some people book two adjacent rooms. One for sleeping and one for pooing.

Plenty of small hotels and B&Bs don't have a reception toilet.

What intrigues me most of all is how people communicate to guests what is and isn't allowed in each toilet. Surely it would be far more embarrassing having to give them the run-down (no pun intended) when they visit you than it would to just hear a few distant splashes, plops or parps and possibly notice a few lingering heady top-notes? Do you have to go full-on Denton family (from the League of Gentlemen) and offer a tour of the house: "This is the downstairs toilet - IN WHICH WE DO NOT PASS SOLIDS!!" ?

Alternatively, do you have a sign up in each facility? So Great Aunt Maud asks if she can 'spend a penny' and you direct her to the downstairs toilet, where she adjusts her clothing and sits down ready to gain some comfort; then, to her horror, she sees the sign on the back of the door strictly forbidding all sirreverences in that specific location, so she has to make herself decent again, emerge and tell you bluntly that she was actually after a laying a turd?

Otherwise, when she asks if she could just use your loo, do you have to question her "And what would Modom be requiring today?" like a waitress in a restaurant? I suppose you could just hand her a menu as she arrives, detailing the options available to guests, but with locations instead of prices.

What if she only thought she needed a wee, but then her body made the involuntary choice on her behalf to consolidate her visit? I can just see the MN thread now: "AIBU to go NC with my 'D'GA after she dropped a surprise log in my toilet when I expressly instructed her that it was for wee-wees only?"

Just had a shit in my ensuite and everything is aok 👍

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll That seriously made me laugh to tears. Poor aunt Maud.
😂😂😂

If you're so coy about doing a poo in an actual toilet, don't ever apply to become an astronaut, whatever you do - you have to just do it in your suit and hope the whiff sn't too overpowering as it makes its way north and potentially gets trapped inside the front of your goldfish-bowl helmet.

@NiceGerbil Way to go👍

Please stop, my ribs can't take much more 😂😂😂

If the sound and smell of your shit penetrates beyond one room you need a better diet

Having a private, accessible, flushing loo is a privilege. YABU. Wouldn't it be more of a mood killer hinting your partner is a foul beast who should be banished to a distant bathroom and be answerable to you if any smell is detected?

If the ensuite has a door, it is a separate room. If it doesn't have a door, that's weird.

Or at least, if you don't want to compromise on the richness of your homegrown fibre intake, when you go down to your allotment, take an extra shovel along with you clearly marked 'NOT for vegetable-related purposes'.

Don't think it would bother me unless someone was in bed and the smell would linger.

Heaven forfend you ever give birth in his presence and, as is far from uncommon in such circumstances, have an involuntary clinker. If his standards are as precious as yours, you'll be an instant single mother and never have the privilege of providing a sibling for your PFB.

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll A "backpackers trowel" is what you are thinking of

yabu
it's a loo
loos are for shitting and pissing in

@Polnm

My en-suite has a sofa and bookcase.

Well I just found something new to aspire to!!
