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.

How dare he use the toilet for the purpose it was designed. He should have done it in a bucket outside and brought it home in the ice cream container you have handy.
Large bucket of water from a height should shift the turd.

So many great poo stories today. Earlier I read another… girl went for poo at in-laws but it wouldn’t flush. So she scooped and threw it out the window. But there was a conservatory below and when she came back to join the family they were all in the conservatory watching it slide down the roof 😌

Anyway I hope the bucket does it and your husband… enjoys his dinner?

this broke me!! Mortifying!!!!

I have a question for all those with poo knives/poo sticks/poo hand blenders etc
Why do you keep them in your gardens? Do you have a massive dump, look at it and think "yeah that's not going down without a fight", waddle off down the garden with your strides round your ankles, collect the instrument of poo death, waddle back to the shitter, chop up the log, wipe your arse, then flush?

Nope.
Some other poor sod handy person passes over the poo-stick, with the lavvy door open a crack, (no pun intended) - using gloves, as it goes clean end first - then beats a hasty retreat...😷

BrickBiscuit · 22/09/2025 21:13

Sticks? knives? bleach? Fill a bucket of water, pour it in as fast as you possibly can without it spilling over. Flush at the same time if you can be quick enough. Don’t ask.

Justgorgeous · 22/09/2025 21:16

Loads of bleach and leave for a couple of hours.

HopefulBeliever · 22/09/2025 21:17

OP I am sorry for your predicament but oh my life I have laughed so much tonight as I read this thread. You have improved my crappy day.

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...

That made me think, what was that film with the shit monster? I thought it was Kevin Smith but couldn't remember and had to Google it. Of course, it was Dogma.

Star458 · 22/09/2025 21:20

Just imagining the workman, tiptoeing through your house hoping you won't notice him as he has a giant turd he's scooped out the toilet and is holding out in front of him in both hands.

Just wondering where the fuck he'd put it instead of the toilet? Kitchen sink? Flower pot? A low wall?

No he needs to leave it in the state he found it. Usable and clean.

Lol yeah, I posted years ago before realising it was an MN "thing" not to post - about the floor fitter using our loo and absolutely pebble-dashing it with skidders. Looked like he'd shat through a colander at max velocity.

Crying 😂😂

Was his name Innes?

Big Innes was my first thought too!

I can hear Isa's screams from here! 🤣🤣

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

I'm howling 😂 thank you for making my day better with this comment

Bologneselove · 22/09/2025 21:27

Surely this is a joke post. As if a toilet is only for wee🤪

GarlicBreadStan · 22/09/2025 21:28

No advice, but these comments are making me wheeze 😂 proper needed the laugh today. Thanks pals

GrandTheftWalrus · 22/09/2025 21:28

This will be after midnight if you dont get rid.

Pour a large bucket of water down.

Only for wees 😂
ice cream tub and marigolds 😂

Better than “lube & a fish slice”

CrowMate · 22/09/2025 21:35

@Star458 Wash hand basin. Push it down the plug hole like a disgusting mop top hair shop.

GreenFlag · 22/09/2025 21:35

Did he aye?

Shefliesonherownwings · 22/09/2025 21:37

You think he should have scooped it out?! WTAF?! Then where would he put it??? For gods sake get a toilet brush or a coat hanger down there and break it up. Jeez

rwalker · 22/09/2025 21:40

Just text them a picture and tell them to come and sort it

Find a stick from the garden and give it a bit of a bashing

BalticTales · 22/09/2025 21:49

My daughter did something similar on a Baltic cruise years ago. We still fondly remember the "Baltic Megapoo".

"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

😂😂😂

IneedtheeohIneedtheeeveryhourIneedthee · 22/09/2025 21:51

I remember this happening at a restaurant I worked at. A customer did such a massive poo that it was still there the following day and we had to seal that toilet off until one of the chef's girlfriends (who worked in a nursing home and was very used to bodily fluids) came in and helped us sort it. Lovely.
