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?!

They colluded in her abuse.

This is really silly. It's a toilet. That's what it's for. I would laugh at someone who told me I couldn't use my own bathroom in my own home because they were too precious to cope with the smell.

If this is true OP you are abusive, and this is awful.

This is the most bonkers thing I have read. Do you mean if you get up to use the toilet in the middle of the night you don’t use the bathroom attached to your bedroom you go somewhere else? This is madness.

Based on the hours taken by some men in the loo I sort of get what you’re saying if you’re being lighthearted.

It always bemused me how many men turn up at the gym in the morning to use the loo for this purpose, maybe they all have partners who have banned them from 💩 at home.

I don't understand any of this. If you have to poo you have to poo. Yes, you can hold on for a bit, but it's very uncomfortable and there's a limit - so if you're at work when you have to poo then no rules, written or otherwise, will stop you.

I wouldn't say it's the most bonkers - MN can be a pretty bonkers place - but it's certainly up there

You are asking your DH to store a fully baked poo inside his colon until he gets to work? That’s actually barbaric. I hope my youngest doesn’t end up partnered with someone like you. He has Crohn’s Disease. That poo ain’t waiting around. And it doesn’t smell of sage and sandalwood I can tell you🤣

😂 😂 😂 😂 You're so naive... people are definitely pooing in there. They just wouldn't admit it to the weird weird people who make these "rules" up.

How odd to police people's toileting.

how can anyone be so squeamish about the bodily functions of a person they engage in intimate acts with?

Not me. I never poo in work. I just hold it.

Appreciate not everyone can do that though.

Well how odd... Why wouldn't you just use the toilet when you need it like a normal person?

@WarmDeer I bet you do.

Surely a candidate for bonkers MN classics?

@ItDoesntHaveToBeASnowman

why on earth wouldn’t you poo at work if you need to poo?

Obnoxious to tell someone where to go to the toilet. He should of course open the window and put some bleach in toilet if that bad but he should poo when he needs to poo.

I genuinely can’t fathom why you think using the downstairs bathroom for shitting is more favourable than using the upstairs bathroom!!! Surely, you spend most of your time downstairs, so the smell would permeate all through your living/kitchen areas?

In any event though, you are a MASSIVELY controlling, utterly ridiculous knob! There were TWO AVAILABLE TOILETS in your house, TWO, and you banned your husband from using either one of them!!! Just think about how this would be received if the tables were turned…ffs!! 🤦‍♀️🤯

You can mock but wait until she’s down to just one billiards room and then the proverbial shit really WILL hit ze fan.

Neurosis I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just don’t want to. What do you want me to say?

The horror. Next you'll suggest she'll have the summer breakfast room out of action and she'll be forced to use the winter room for breakfast all year...

@ItDoesntHaveToBeASnowman

i don’t know, hence why I asked you!

Who's to say he's actually got gastric issues. Shit stinks, apparently OP thinks hers doesn't. Deluded is what we call that.

Genuinely can't believe people think this level of control is ok. Baffling.

FFS what is it with fully grown adults and the horror of someone daring to poo in a toilet? It's a toilet, it's what it's made for, everybody shits it's a natural bodily function.

You know regularly holding in your poo is bad for you right? Then as you age, the damage to your digestive system will mean you might not have a choice.

See if I sat next to some guy at work who shamelessly farted all day long, I reckon most of you would agree that it was fucking disgusting and that I shouldn’t have to put up with that.

But if that same guy has a Guinness shit in the bathroom that adjoins the office, that’s fine, it’s a natural bodily function and fuck everyone else who has to breath that in all day?
