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

[Poodlelove]

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.

Washing up liquid is the thing.
Pour a whole 500ml cheap bottle down the loo, and give it an hour. Add hot water.
It is magical.

When it moves it. Fill the look with a garden watering can 3 or 4 times and keep clearing the pipe.

😂

Hopefully the problem has been sorted now, but if it has't, grab yourself a wire coat hanger and a plastic bag and do this:

1. straighten out the wire coat hanger so you have an elongated, narrow loop
2. lift the lid and the toilet seat up
3. using the wire coathanger, chop at the 💩to break it up into smaller pieces
4. flush the loo
5. repeat Step 3 if required
6. put the coat hanger in the plastic bag, tie it closed, and place in your outside bin
7. clean the loo with your bog brush (there are bound to be skiddies)

Job done!

I have to deal with this issue regularly as my son does the most enormous shits, they defy biology.

Sometimes they can be dealt with by covering the top of the poo with a couple of bits of loo roll and then as you hit the flush, nudge the poo with a toilet brush. It will become unstuck and slide down into the U bend.

Or, if the very idea of a toilet brush gives you the Mumsnet conniptions, fill up a 5 litre mop bucket with water and tip the whole thing down the loo. The force of that amount of water all at once usually gets rid of it. Occasionally my son's have needed more than one bucket's worth!

I don’t have disposable gloves

doubt many houses do

Has it gone?

😆😆

Can only wee in your downstairs loo ? Precious

@Blondeshavemorefun I've got disposable gloves, like the surgical ones, but I don't think they would give enough protection to deal with poo.

I use the toilet brush rinse well when flushing, I have the silicon brushes and find they come up quite clean, then I spray it with disinfectant and balance under the loo seat until it's dry before putting back in it's storage pot

Buckets of water usually work but for the occasional loiterer I have to use the brush

Jobbie done...

🤸‍♂️ the builder back out to work...

I salute you!

That’s a brave deed. Even though you’re wearing gloves…it’s the texture…ooh, I’m going a bit light-headed now..ugh…

I had to do it with mine the other day. I’ve had pretty extensive bowel surgery and every now and then the bugger plays up.

After not going for a couple of days, I crapped something that could have been a stunt double for an Anaconda.

Yep, the texture was 🤢didn’t help it was still warm!! 🤢🤢

Yup it's absolutely the thought of the texture that means I am just not up to that challenge I don't think. And the thought of potential microscopic porosity of the gloves.😬

On the same theme, I remember Ricky Tomlinson telling a story about his time in prison. WARNING - it’s not exactly Jane Austen…

He was extremely constipated (it sounded horrendous) and nothing the prison medics gave him had any effect. When finally he did manage to ‘open his bowels’ he said “It was so big the chaplain could have Christened it!” 😳

Sorry. I’ve never forgotten that…

You need a poo sword

Get a stick from the garden and prod it to break it up. That’s what I do with mine 😁 gross to have to do it to someone else’s but it’s an effective method

You can't forbid people to poo! When they need to go they need to go. Bleach won't help but a very large bucket of water might and revoltingly-a knife.

Disposable gloves in the medical kit.

This happened to me years ago with a workman leaving a huge poo in the toilet. To his credit he told me, apologised and said it wouldn't go down! I felt pretty revolted at the sight but at least he was honest. Lots of bleach and the toilet brush did the trick. I didn't really think much of it though. We all poo..

So I hope this isn't going to offend but are these exceedingly large stools quite harmless? I mean if that's how they are meant to come out, why are toilets not differently designed? Unless I am missing something (like half my anus), I don't think this is a normal sort of human product. Is it from not going consistently enough? Or too much food? Or what? Also, does it not hurt? ETA to add this is prompted by pp's comment that "we all poo."

This is so classic, textbook Mumsnet

It's practically a parody. "Workman shitting in my sacred toilet! They should be holding it in, or going to MacDonalds!" The first few replies are echoing the sentiment "we've heard this one before".

Seriously, though, pouring a bucket of water down is my usual method for dissipating the ones that don't flush.

Is there a diagram or photo ? 😂

Why would you consider leaving that for your husband.

Pour a bucket of water down it.
