Why do my in laws ALWAYS desecrate my toilet?!

[sydneyprescott]

In laws coming round this morning. So I’ve cleaned the downstairs bathroom.

Literally EVERY time they come, one or both of them take a massive stinky dump in our newly cleaned toilet. Can they not bloody go at home? For context they only live 10 mins away so it’s not like they have a big drive and then need to drop off a load

They live nearby. There is no need to constantly use someone else's loo unless territory marking.

Surely the way forward here is that the person related to the toilet visitor cleans up after them? In the same way that DP sorts out birthday presents etc for his own relatives.

Are you mad?

If you need the loo, you need the loo. It doesn’t matter where you are, you’re not engaging in some dominance performance, you’re having a poo.

(In my case, about 45 minutes after having a coffee)

Well yesterday morning I committed the sin of suddenly needing a pee less five minutes after I cleaned the loo and left bleach down. It's normally my son who peeps in straight after I've put bleach down and I hear the dreaded flush 🙄 I sat on loo feeling I was sitting on the naughty step but at the same time it was nice to be the first to use our freshly cleaned loo for once 😆

You don't find it odd that either one of them consistently has to poo in OPs house? It's definitely territory marking/habitual. That's what's mad. 🫣

No, surely the toilet user cleans up after themselves?

These threads baffle me.

It's a toilet. It's literally designed for shitting in.

What on earth is the matter with people, starting bike threads like this. Are you in primary school?

Why aren't they using their own toilet to do wwhat it's designed for then? 🫣

Not if it’s at a similar time or they’ve had whatever gets them needing the loo (coffee, see above)

What sort of cleaning do you want them to do? It’s a loo they used it because they needed to go.

Cleaning up any mess/smell?
Who thinks it's ok to arrive and someone else's house then stink it out?

Bizarre - the person who does toilet cleaning does the toilet cleaning

Well then have the coffee, or do whatever thing stimulates the poo, at home, before coming? Of course they don't need to mark territory at home, do they? 🤢🤢🤢🤢

As @OrwellianTimes says, are there cleaning products readily available and easily seen? If so, no excuse. But people have to go when they have to go, so it seems unreasonable to expect them to leave the house.

YANBU.

It’s disgusting not to clean up after yourself when using someone else’s loo if there are items to do so.

If you can’t clean up after yourself in someone else’s home when the supplies are available to do so, do your business at home.

Because, unlike what MN tries to claim, most people aren't robots and can't always control when they need to go?

Dirty fuckers
I'd have to say something

loo brushes are illegal on Mumsnet

Eh?? How do you draw that weird conclusion?

Every day's a school day on Mumsnet. Who knew that there are people who even think this?

Someone mentally unwell who needs psychological help?

This

Mumsnet is the only place I’ve ever seen people complain about a toilet being used for its intended purpose, but since it comes up a lot on here you’re clearly not alone.

What a strange thing to NOT be aware of. If everyone else is keeping the toilet tidy and clean, it's obvious when a regular guest f-s it up each time.

Op I wonder if there's air freshener out? Maybe get one of those funny signs about leaving the loo as you find it.
