When they're at work are the ones who doesn't do it at home either?
Or the ones who have a dog and doesn't pick up their dog poo. What goes through these peoples minds?!

Disgusting, delusional creatures.

More offended by your grammar than the poop!

I have no idea how people can do it! Surely you do it automatically, without even thinking about it?
For us, we have a phantom shitter. There is someone who has a giant, messy dump about two/three times a week and managed to get it on the toilet seat, around the rim, even on the back sometimes. They never bother to wipe it off or sort out their mess either.

I dread to think about the state of their houses.

My DD worked in a coffee shop. The toilets were often disgusting because people would have a coffee, then a poo 🤢

Cigarettesaftersex1 · 06/04/2023 15:27

My mum only ever flushes the toilet if she's done a poo, wee's sit there for hours and it's quite off putting when you want to use the loo. I always flush it when I'm there and get told off every time

MasterBeth · 06/04/2023 15:31

As well as non-flushers, we have people who drop (clean?) toilet paper on the floor. Sometimes it's little scraps of paper they've picked off the roll, or maybe those bits at the beginnng of the roll when it's harder to tear off a whole sheet. Sometimes it's whole sheets.

Either way, I think "you're sitting right there on the loo. Why would you drop them on the floor?!"

Jellytotsburnmytongue · 06/04/2023 15:33

Yes it's dirty.

Unless they have a disability which means they can't then they should just go to the toilet, put the seat down, flush the toilet, then wash and dry their hands. It's not hard.

I wouldn't want to eat in their houses 🤢

StrawberryWater · 06/04/2023 15:34

Try working retail and finding poops in the changing rooms. 🤢

Happens more than you might think.

Theunamedcat · 06/04/2023 15:35

Ds won't flush because of the sound it makes he also won't use it when it's refilling due to the sound it makes won't use public loos unless he is desperate guess why? 🤔 the sound

Ah the old ‘if it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down’

Dwrcegin · 06/04/2023 15:40

Its when they don't flush AND they leave it on the back of the toilet seat as well. They know they've left it there. Its like a big up yours to the next person who uses it or has to clean it. I love bleach.

More to the point, are YOU one of those dirt bags that's guilty of it? Is this the real reason why you're offended?! 🤢

Ya dutty pig!

I work in a leisure centre. I once had to pick up some enormous shits left in the seats in the changing cubicles. Another time, there was poo smeared all over the showers.

Once, I told a woman off for telling her 4 kids to go the toilet in the shower (which was right next to the toilets). She had some ridiculous excuse along the lines they were too young to use the toilet (the youngest was about 5). I don't know what goes through some people's minds.

I think this is part of the problem. Lid down and flush but you don't know know if it's all gone and with water saving toilets it often hasn't.

At least I think that's what happens at my work. Even just for a wee and a bit of tissue, it takes a couple of attempts, I don't think it's that people don't bother, it's that's they don't hang around afterwards to check.

Sohungrynow · 06/04/2023 15:48

When in north land NZ where their water was harvested from the rain it was customary to only flush after a number 2. I wasn’t too keen tbh. Back home and a few years later fortunately have an upstairs loo only I use, I use than for a wee and flush it every couple of times, more environmentally friendly and less expensive. But everywhere else I definitely flush!

Sunblox · 06/04/2023 15:48

They remind me of animals. Drop and go! Yet, the same people think they're superior to animals.
I was always taught right from being toilet trained that you flush the loo and wash your hands.
Guaranteed those filthy animals don't wash their hands either!

That's a fair point, as some toilets are a bit rubbish at flushing.

I got the feeling the post meant when people go and just don't even bother to put the seat down.

rc22 · 06/04/2023 16:05

I don't flush a wee overnight in an attempt not to wake people. During the day, always.

Just wanted to say, no, its not always automatic. We don't live in a house and have a cassette toilet. There's one large button you push and turn to flush and close the sluice, then you just pop the lid down. Unfortunately this has meant that my child sometimes forgets to flush a 'normal' toilet, despite knowing they should.

Obviously hand washing should be automatic and this situation doesn't apply to everyone, I just wanted to put another point of view out there.

nomoremerlot · 06/04/2023 16:10

I don't know what makes you think these people are delusional?

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 06/04/2023 16:17

A place I used to work at had someone who would leave a poo, unflushed, no paper or anything. (and if you flushed it went away, so wasn't a case of it not going when flushed)

I came to the conclusion - mostly from the lack of paper and how it was there most days - that it was some sort of exhibitionism and they were getting some sort of kick from knowing people would see it.

We also had someone write all over the inside of a cubicle with poo.

Which should be a part of using any loo that is not in one’s home. It takes seconds to check that everything went down after a toilet has been flushed.

HScully · 06/04/2023 16:25

My FIL never flushes pee, their loo is always full of thick dark yellow pee. Its disgusting when you have visitors.

I try to avoid using the toilet when I am there,

LlynTegid · 06/04/2023 16:28

The lack of decency when using toilets by some is yet another reason to argue for benefits of working from home.

doris9034 · 06/04/2023 16:51

I have just had a long weekend camping - everyday, 3 out of the 4 toilets in the shower block had poos left in them - just why?!
