To think you shouldn't say she's ON the toilet

[pontipinemum]

I hate when DH says 'she's on the toilet' instead of 'she's in the bathroom' or 'she'll be back in a min, she's gone to the loo' or similar

I've heard him say it a good few times most recently over the weekend. I do tell him I don't like it, he doesn't see why.

This is meant in a light hearted way! It does not occupy much of my brain

YABU - It's a perfectly normal thing to say
YANBU - Bit graphic

Even then people still know you’ve gone to the loo.

i’m interested in how pp gets through life making sure nobody knows she goes to the toilet.

I didn't say he does it to annoy you

You said "I do tell him I don't like it, he doesn't see why" and my reply was he shouldn't do it because he's fully aware you don't like it - whether he sees why or not.

My husband says 'She's powdering her nose!'

One of our neighbours pursed her lips at this and was off with me until I got to the bottom of it and she had thought it was a reference to cocaine !

I'm Irish and I agree! On the toilet is too accurate!! Tell him "thanks for the visual". Now I'm picturing somebody's knickers around their ankles!!

Luckily he's in the minority as most people just naturally avoid saying on the toilet.

I have heard "on the throne". Ew!

I like this. I'm going to use this with a straight shiny face. Love it from a man! He's clearly civilised.

Oh god grief how very uncouth ....how will you ever get over the shame!

😅😐

I think it’s more ‘on’ the toilet, it’s really not a very nice phrase. I agree it’s not very realistic that someone is never referred to as being in the loo. Most of us will say ‘I’m just going to the loo (or bathroom)’ if we are in company.

Married to a NI farmer and work with lots of them there's worse he could say believe me!
