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.

Iv used a price of garden cane to chop up any giant turd in the past

Just to clarify something…
Do all Mumsnetters genuinely have either a “turd knife” (still no idea what that even is) or a dedicated poo stick kept in the garden? And the latter is just popped back into a flower bed when not in use?

Because honestly, I’ve never had any sticks lying around in the garden. But last night my dog proudly dragged in a cane-like stick, and now I’m suspicious it might actually be one of those poop-prodding contraptions, lobbed over the fence by the neighbours after being… shall we say… well seasoned

Ur what do you break it up with
stick
knife
pole
whisk
hands

so many variable items to dispose of the poo

@Poodlelove poor dh 😂😂

Coz a workman had a poo. Didn’t flush it down it down
or he tried and was too big

@Poodlelove decided to be kind to her dh and leave the poo removal for her hard working hubby to deal with

My dear! Are you honestly telling the world that you don’t possess a Turd Knife?

Ours is a Georgian silver one, hallmarked in London in 1765. Cheaper versions are available, I admit, but we are rather proud of ours.

I do have 2 jobs but can't deal with poo 🤣

I am going to get one for husband for Christmas

Surely it has a correct name.
Faeces stick ?
Poo stick.
Poo prodder.
Poo probe

Ring them up and ask them to come back to deal with it themselves….???

Years ago, someone left a huge poo in my rainwater drain at the front of the house.

I had to dispose of it otherwise it would still be there.

Doesn't the toilet flush properly? I can't imagine having a toilet you are not allowed to poo in, what if it just happens? Get a better flushing mechanism.

Because shit stinks and there is rarely an extractor downstairs.

Maybe you could try getting some of the 67% of people who voted YABU to come and scoop it out with their bare hands since they don’t seem to think it’s a big deal! I feel sick just thinking about it. 🤢 The last time a workman used my toilet I couldn’t go in there for about an hour afterwards and that was just the smell.

Hence the expression “born with a silver turd knife in one’s mouth”!

I wouldn’t have been happy but a simple bucket of water would have got rid of the problem in two minutes.

i assume he flushed and left - and didn’t look on the toilet afterwards. Bowl of water will sort it

Behave.

Noooooooooooo …. Did he ever show his face again?

Hahahahaha oh I love this thread

Bleach will help dissolve it and make it flushable. Good luck!

I tried bleach and drain unblocked then the boiling hot water from kettle killed it

I worked in a nursing home and cut many a poo up in the bowl with a knife.

Agree re second class citizens. It’s got an undercurrent tone which I don’t like. Not everyone’s poos are regular and it is not always possible to predict! The size of their poo is nothing to do with being a workman. If it is someone young then they may have been mortified and not known how to deal with it. Have we all been there?

Honestly ?
I'd of called him amd asked him to come and sort it out himself! There's no way id be able to fish that out myself

You don't have to fish it out, you can break it up and flush it away gradually.
