To have insisted on DH doing his ‘business’ at work when we were down to one bathroom

[WarmDeer]

I told my friends this last night who found it amusing so would be interested to hear if they are the only ones!

We were down to just our upstairs bathroom this week as the downstairs bathroom was being re-done (finally finished yesterday afternoon).

Given the heat, DH was told that he should do his usual morning business when he arrives at his work rather than use the upstairs bathroom, as I didn’t fancy the smell festering all morning in this heat.

DH was fine with this - AIBU to have made such a request?!

All of this 👆
I worked on ITU many years ago and one of the consultants would come in first thing and poo in staff loo every morning 🤢 I wonder if he had similar type of controlling partner !

You're obviously proud of your uber-controlling habits. You sound awful. Do you make your DH ask for permission every time he wants to use his own loo in his own home, just in case he produces a smell that offends you?

Have you thought of opening a window, striking a match, using air freshener?

I really can't believe there are people like this. It has never entered my head to he worried about who uses the toilet.

This has got to be a wind-up, surely? I can't believe there are really people who are so uptight about natural bodily functions, and so controlling that they dictate when and where their partner shits!

If this is real, then OP I honestly think you should seek some form of therapy.

😂😂😂

Wildly unreasonable!!

Your DHs poor colleagues 😂

I think this is a troll post.

However, i do think people are insanely (and surprisingly) zealous on here about their right to poo anywhere and fuck everybody else.

it’s also fine to not want to sit for an hour in someone else’s poo stench. Especially when they are not your family eg a work colleague.

We had a Virgin Media guy come to the house when I was 99 months pregnant. He was here to do a grand total of 5 minutes work. Then he spent 20 mins in the bathroom. The smell was absolutely unholy (night on the beers/guinness kind of vibe) and I was as sick as a dog with it. It was through the whole house. Posted here about it and was annihilated because this man had a right to poo apparently.

It can be absolutely disgusting

Well you know whst the say you can stand the smell of your own products but not others
I doubt yours is a fragrant as you think.

Totally unreasonable and controlling. You actually have two loos with the en-suite yet your husband has to shit in another place. God what a cow.

I was falling for it until your last post OP 😂😂😂 very good

💩💩💩

So you have en-suite as well. So he poos in main bathroom and you use en-suite! This is definitely a wind up poo troll post ! Weirdo!

Another thread that makes me glad I live alone.

I never understand the problem of pooing at work. Unless there’s only one toilet and it’s in the middle of an open plan office. “I could never poo at work!” - oh the horror. People holding it in until they get home (or vice versa in the OP’s case 😆) is insane

I don't understand, doesn't it smell in the downstairs toilet too? (I don't control where people poo nor think normal bodily functions should be treated like a disgusting secret, but if I was going to I'd prefer to keep the smell away from areas where food / guests were more likely to be). Why does this particular toilet being out of action suddenly mean the house would smell more?

I really think someone's family should have to smell it more then someone's colleagues should? I know you say there are lots of toilets in work, but presumably in cubicles where other people will be in the room, soon after if not at the time?

Anyway, my husband works as a gardener with no access to a toilet unless he uses a customers' or leaves work, so we've had to develop a normal relationship with the people we live with having bodily functions and occasionally having to (shock horror) smell a smell we don't like

You are unreasonable to ask, he's unreasonable to comply.

so you’re down to 2 bathrooms…. But he can’t use any?!

Not using the en-suite is normal, not using your own loo at home is completely insane. Presumably it's not a loo just off the kitchen is it?

Keep the window opened and buy some spray.

Why is it mildly amusing (at best, or frankly completely bonkers) when it's a woman, but if a man was telling his wife to wait until she's at work, it would be abusive? Because it would be abusive.

Adults clean after themselves, poop or periods, if they don't you are entitled to make a scene. Smell or old pads left neatly in the rubbish bin? The fuck is wrong with you.

Of all the Mumsnet weirdnesses, the “you must not shit in the loo” is one of the weirdest.

Another one who thinks their own shit don’t stink. You are aware that we can’t actually smell our own poo the way other people do? Trust me Hyacinth, your shit stinks too.

How come you get to decide how someone using the bathroom in their own home. If you think there is a smell, sort out the ventilation or just open a window.
If I was your DH. I’d be ignoring you!

If I was him , I would’ve shat in every available toilet , just out of spite. Twice.

Not that I would’ve married someone so neurotic in the first place.

Too bad he didn’t get a tummy bug this week, that would’ve been fun.

So other people have to deal with his "nuclear stench" because you don't want to sully your delicate nostrils with it?

Despite having two working toilets in your house? I presume the bathroom and the ensuite have doors to trap it in, and a window to let it out.

I'm amazed you let him use the downstairs one. Then it permeates the downstairs instead. Where the kitchen is. Where the people are. Where any visitors may smell it.

You sound extremely anal

What kind of poorly constructed hell hole do you live in that ensures smells linger for hours?

How on earth does that work? What happens when someone needs a poo during the working day?

Do you mean to say your shit don't stink🤣
