AIBU to expect air freshener in toilets when visiting friends?

[HangryBrickShark]

Is there an expectation that people's toilets should have an air freshener in? Like a spray air freshener?

We always have air freshener in both our toilets in case friends or family get caught short when visiting us or even to freshen the bathroom after having a wee if necessary, so I hate it if I go to a friend/family members house and they have none.

I get some people may be affected by asthma but surely if you had asthma you wouldn't use it?

We have a glade air freshener at work that sprays into the space where the wash handbasins are for example.

You are, quite frankly, weird.

Yanbu tbh

Theres this tiktokker who i love and think is amazing, but she refuses to have a toilet brush! I'm like, what if someone (usually a man) has no choice but to poop in your toilet and finds he cant clean it?! 😩😩😩

things to try to mask shit smells with a layer of a synethetic smell seem an odd thing to give a shit about

Well l that's a new one, we definitely don't have air freshener in our toilet. I never thought about it to be honest.

YABU.
And not to be that person, air fresheners are awful for the environment.

i totally get this!!

I would not want to use a bathroom for a poo if there was no air freshener!

I don’t think it’s weird at all! More weird to not care if people smell your toilet deposits imo🤣

I have a reed diffuser in the downstairs bog. They can open a window.

Google Poopourri, then buy a little bottle and take it with you wherever you go.

You'll never worry about laying a smelly cable in a friend's toilet again!

I don’t have air freshener but there’s a reed diffuser and poo pourri spray! I also have a toilet brush, a bin and toilet cleaner

No, I don't want a load of synthetic headache-inducing horrible smelling chemicals in my house. I'll take my chance with the poo 💩

Carry a box of matches with you. Brilliant for neutralising any nasty nifs.

No, I don't want to be exposed to toxic air freshener chemicals. What's wrong with opening the bathroom window? (Obviously doesn't apply if you don"t havea bathroom window but presumably then you have an extractor fan?).

Never bought one, floral shit still stinks!

I hate spray air fresheners, I'd rather a temporary pooey smell than the lingering stench of poo mixed with artificial flowers

This.
It wouldn't ever occur to me.
I'm vegan which may make a difference but honestly other than the odd occasion where I've maybe been on holiday and eaten a lot of foods I wouldn't usually, you could go in the bathroom straight after I'd been for a number 2 and not smell anything.

Do you have bowel issues and/or a rubbish diet in your family? I'd understand why you'd have air freshener if so. But to expect others to always follow suit is unrealistic.

😂 agreed

Why? It actually annoys me to not see one if I'm honest.

Ugh just crack a window.

I have a reed diffuser and a gel thing in the toilet but no artificial sprays. I'd be sneezing all day.

I have never in my life bought air-freshener for any room in my house. All our bathrooms have windows for fresh air. Even if we had a windowless bathroom, I still wouldn't use air-freshener.

You're weird. I'm allergic to them, so I don't want them being sprayed in my house. I do have a reed diffuser and the window is always open.

Actually, thinking about it, I don't think any of my friends or family have air fresheners in their bathrooms either.

We have the air wick room spray, comes out as water droplets so you don’t get that spray smell. I was going to say yabu but it’s not fair if someone is caught out to not give them options!

I genuinely dont understand how making a shit smell, smell sweetly sick is anyway better. Just open a window, or wait til you get home. Air fresheners are ao disgusting.

Some people love the smell of their own poo it seems.
