Workman did a giant poo in my downstairs toilet and it won't go.

Today I had 2 men working in my garden , they were recommended to me by a colleague.4 hours work.
After a couple of hours one of them asked to use the toilet , he took off his shoes and was quick and didn't think any more of it.
An hour later the younger fella knocks on the door and I am on a work call , he points to the direction of the toilet and I just nod.

Ten minutes later he is still in there , I had to make another call so didn't think any more of it and then they had finished.

Anyway I had to dash out so got ready and needed a quick wee ( wee is only allowed in my downstairs loo ) and there is such a big poo in the toilet that it is actually out of the water AND it won't flush.

What on earth am I supposed to do ?

My Mum said stand on a chair and pour boiling water from a height 🤢 That doesn't work.
My husband isn't home until 9pm tonight , he is going to have to deal with it , but he said he wants his dinner first.
I could not poo in someone else's house.
Surely he could have held it in or scooped it out himself , or actually told me.
I have found an old ice cream container and some marigolds and as soon as hubby has eaten he can scoop it out.

Pour a large bucket of water down.

"there is such a big poo in the toilet that it is actually out of the water AND it won't flush."

OMG that is good luck! It's called an Excalibur. Just grip it by the handle and pull, but beware only the true king can remove this or maybe Dynorod

Hmm
ResusciAnnie · 22/09/2025 19:30

Are you fucking kidding me. If this is even true…: Don’t make your husband (or anyone) scoop out someone’s shit. Water doesn’t need to be boiling and a kettle full isn’t going to suffice. Get a bucket of water and pour it in from a height.

A big bucket of cold water pounded in quickly should shift it. Poor man, I doubt he could hold that in!

Elbowpatch · 22/09/2025 19:32

A two gallon bucket full of water tipped down the loo should shift it.

For extra drama stand on a chair while you are tipping.

My son is only allowed to use the downstairs loo for no2's as he blocked the upstairs with his Godzilla poo. No idea why he does mega one's 😁😁 Use a full bottle of washing up liquid to lubricate as I had to do that.

Elbowpatch · 22/09/2025 19:33

Are there teeth marks on the toilet seat?

luckylavender · 22/09/2025 19:33

What are toilets for? And lucky you, you can poo where you want.

Woompund · 22/09/2025 19:33

Way a dirty fucker. He should have dealt with it himself! It's a disgusting job but far less disgusting when it's your own shit than someone else's. I second the suggestion of a bucket of water but be careful, it may splash shit out of the bowl :(

Hahaha these responses are class!

Not for leaving huge turds for someone else to deal with!

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 22/09/2025 19:34

Fish it out and give it back to him as a tip.

didntlikeanyofthesuggestions · 22/09/2025 19:36

Pour a whole bottle of bleach on the monster turd and hope for the best.

Also maybe something to make it clear to people what they're allowed to do in the toilet.

Farkinhell · 22/09/2025 19:36

I do believe I first heard of 'the poo knife' here on mumsnet. I don't have one myself but I do think it would be helpful in your specific situation.

I had this happen the other day; use loads of bleach.

RedRiverShore5 · 22/09/2025 19:38

Get a garden cane and chop it up a bit, then it should go, I would put some bleach down there as well

Why is everyone saying fake? Do we need longer believe people poop?

Laura95167 · 22/09/2025 19:38

"Scooped it out himself"?????

Try killing it with bleach. And I mean killing it. If you don't, it will become sentient at one minute past midnight and crawl out of your toilet...
