Rushed from the toilet so somebody else can go..

[OneLooWhatToDo]

NC for this as i can't believe i'm posting it. MN can verify that i'm not the poo troll. I've been here years. Penis beaker etc. First world problems i know but i am mildly irritated about this...

I have family here for tea.

My flat has one toilet, which i was using to do my business.

No sooner have I sat down the door handle starts rattling with somebody trying to get in, I call out "I'm in here, won't be long"

A minute or so later (literally) a voice calls through the door "OneLoo, how long are you going to be? X needs to use the toilet"

FFS. I hadn't been in there any longer than 3 minutes at this point.

I'm not finished but abort mission as being badgered and rushed is making things take even longer and now i'm pissed off to boot.

I come out and somebody else goes in to do the very thing i was trying to do myself and sits in there for 10+ minutes.

AIBU to think this was really bloody rude and bad mannered?

🤦🏻‍♀️

I never can fathom why, on MN, pooing is seen as some kind of nasty, shameful little fetish that some people - clearly lacking any self-respect or dignity - insist on servicing for the purposes of getting their disgusting little jollies, at the expense of the nice, decent folk, whom they insist on subjecting to even the subtlest signs that they sometimes partake thereof, filthy animals they.

I feel your pain. I shared a flat with 6 people and one loo. I don't know how I survived it in retrospect. Especially as 3 were boys who spent a suspiciously long time in the loo...

Have you ever been to Italy? Every time I went to use the toilet someone started to knock on the door. Apparently it's the norm there to knock on the door to politely let the toilet user know someone is waiting. But it's so annoying!!!

How did you sort your ibs issues? I thought it couldn't be medicated.

You were a fool to snap your cable for someone else.

I can do a crap in the same amount of time it takes me to pee, on the whole.

The menfolk I have ever live with take 15 minutes+

I brake my cables for nobody.

They must have been having some kind of toilet related drama

The fact they took so long in there themselves- it’s h likely they hoisted you off in order to then sit and read a magazine. Maybe they had leaked with the delay and then had to sort themselves out.

I can see it wasn’t nice to be asked to hurry up but just assume it was necessary and not just done for fun or because they are rude.

As an aside, if I had only one toilet and family coming over for a meal I would seriously struggle to take myself off for a poo whilst they were there unless absolutely bursting for it. I’d try very hard to squeeze it out before their arrival. What about the smell for a start?

Dr referred me to gastroenterology to rule out more serious issues then to a dietician who put me on the FODMAP diet. That really helped discover the major triggers. Also take immodium if I'm worried about not being near a loo. Have discovered on gransnet that there are loads of us but no one ever talks about this debilitating and embarrassing condition.

You need a signage system, and maybe a portaloo.
Anyway, why moan at us. Talk to your interrupter. That might help you next time.
