AIBU to ask people not to poop in new under stairs cloakroom?

[keepswimming38]

We are just having a new cloakroom installed downstairs. AIBU to put a sign up saying ‘no poo loo’ or ‘if you plan to do a poo do it in the upstairs loo’?

My DH thinks it’s not reasonable. I just down like the idea of people doing a poop in there and then the macerator having to … anyway AIBU?

Where I live, being a guest in someone’s home and going upstairs without expressly being invited is rude. The bedrooms and upstairs living areas are private and for family only. Just put an “Out of Order” sign on the door instead of having your guests do a public walk of shame upstairs. Again, I must ask, why you bothered to put a toilet in if it’s off limits? Why not just a sink if you need one?

People with healthy bowels, who only take a minute to pass a couple of lovely type 4's without any straining.

Many years ago my grandparents had their kitchen done. My grandmother really liked her sink and decided that using the sink would spoil it, so my poor grandfather, who was in his late 80s, was sent out into a utility room in an old garage, not accessible from the house, to do the washing up or fill the kettle.

Things are there to be used. Don’t be my grandmother.

When I was younger I worked in a pub. Every morning as we were getting ready to open a man would arrive and sit on the bench opposite the pub with his newspaper waiting for us to open. When we did he would come in, order a pint of bitter, and then say, ‘just going to let it settle’, before disappearing with his paper to the loos for (what we all assumed was) a shit. 15 minutes later he’d be back. None of us had the nerve to say anything to him, though obviously he was well known and talked about by the staff. All rather grim.

Then one day a new barman started. He had no filter. He’d been there about a week and had heard about the chap and noticed his routine, when he asked the man one morning why he came in for his morning dump. The rest of us didn’t know where to look but, amazingly, the man didn’t seem offended and answered him: ‘Because my wife doesn’t let me shit in the house’….

Ah, I actually feel really sorry for the bloke, I wonder if the wife was controlling in other ways. Did he carry on coming in after his cover was blown?

Quite! Poor chap.

Yes he did. Always one pint (and the poo). We had a few 11am-ers who’d come in on opening, but most were clearly alcoholics who would either never really leave or would be in and out all day and evening. Not him. Always wondered why the pint and whether that was it for the day. Perhaps he carried on elsewhere or maybe he just felt he had to order something and didn’t realise we did coffee and tea!

It's a toilet....you do realise that pooing much like urinating is a natural bodily function yes? So yes you are absolutely being unreasonable 🤣

Reminds me of an ex who insisted that if I needed to fart I should take myself to the bathroom to do so ...😭
