and of course i said yes, he was up there for ages!!!!!!!!!!!!! and yes you guessed right he'd done a number 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! now I know that when nature calls you have to go but my bathroom stunk to high heaven (tho he did open the window) it made me go euughhhh for a good while (scrubbed bleached loo after a couple hours)

is there an etiquette (sp?) on this type of thing, for me I would be mortified to even imagine using someone elses loo for a poo hahahaha, there are public loos close by and a pub just 5 mins away, I spent the day and night saying "i can't believe he did it!!" dh was highly amused

poor bloke! he had to go

I know what you mean, I'm a bit funy about doing poos anywhere except home. Some of the men I work with like to poo in work loo whereas I would rather die (and sometimes think I will from the effort!) The world would be a nicer place of we all pooed in our own homes

When we had workmen in a few months ago, my DH absolutely STUNK the bathroom out just before one of the workmen went in, and I had been in just after my DH for a pee, so they would have though it was me.. my god it absolutely reeked, and there was .. ahem.. evidence. I could have killed my DH. I know it's stupid but I couldn't stand the thought of the workmen thinking it was ME that had created such an unholy stench

TwigTwoolett · 12/10/2006 18:58

people don't really worry about doing poos in other people loos do they?

ok a full-blown nuclear smelly poo is gross and worth laughing about

but really a loo is a loo and a poo is a poo IYSWIM

My friend was the opposite, she wouldn't do a poo anonymously in a public loo because of all the people. But she was quite happy to stink out mine Never saw the logic, I'd rather make smells at strangers I'll never see again.

I get stuff collected twice a week and the guy that comes round is chatty and he has used our loo many times for wees but last week he polluted the place and left floaters .....took me days to recover.

Flamebat · 12/10/2006 19:02

If ya gotta poo, ya gotta poo...

southeastastralplain · 12/10/2006 19:03

I thought it might have been his 'trademark'

I make a point of having a poo at work rather than home actually. I like to think I'm being paid for the time spent, rather than wasting my own time

firsttimemama · 12/10/2006 19:47

PMSL at "touching cloth" - I haven't heard that in ages!

joelallie · 13/10/2006 08:12

themoon - so do I. Nice clean tidy toilets and it adds a certain something knowing that I should be at my desk at the time.

DH on the other hand is a builder and he will not do a poo anywhere but at home. Which annoys me for 2 reasons - it can't be good for him to wait all that time, and why does he have to pollute his own childrens' air????

And why are men so much stinkier as a rule...?

LadyDooM · 13/10/2006 10:10

hahahaha... what an amusing thread!!!

One of dh's builder mates was working across the road and wouldn't use their loo but would come knocking at my door. He used to stink the loo out so much I'm surprised the tiles didn't pop off the wall. I told dh who told him and he stopped calling. Poor bloke!

PhantomCAM · 13/10/2006 12:24

There's a joke with the word "brickie" here somewhere........

lou33 · 13/10/2006 12:34

if he is hot then i would forgive him

TinyGang · 13/10/2006 12:44

Lol at Pinotmum - Urgh! Poor you. How baad must that have been to remove the tiles?!

Maybe 'non-family' poo is worse. You know, when changing nappies - your own childrens are just about bearable, but others seems worse.

TinyGang · 13/10/2006 12:47

Actually scrap that theory...dh is pretty bad. Why are men so stinky??

pebblemum · 13/10/2006 14:23

We've got workmen in at the moment doing our kitchen. On the first day they were here (wednesday) dh got up and started to run a bath (he works nights so this was about 11am). One of the builders chose that moment to ask to use the loo so of course we said yes, didnt think nothing of it until dh went in after to check his bath and had to rush out again holding his breath. It absolutely stunk. The builder hadnt even sprayed air freshener let alone open a window and to top it all of there were funny marks on the seat. Dh refused to investigate them so it was up to me, it turned out just to be dust luckily but the thought of what it could have been made me feel ill. It was over an hour before dh thought the air was fresh enough for him to have his bath.

I know we all do it and its natural but why are men that much more disgusting.

TLV - he was obviously leaving whats known as a "plumber's bonus" and trying to create some extra trade for one of his colleagues

Pinotmum · 13/10/2006 14:29

I worked with a woamn once who was having her new house renovated including a new bathroom suite. She refused to allow the builders to use the toilet as "my children have to use that". It obviously didn't occur to her that they had to go somewhere and as it transpired the builders used her garden - not quite as good as horse manure but I bet she had lovely roses!

StrawberryFULLMoonOWOWOWWWWWWW · 13/10/2006 14:30

mindee's father turned up last week and asked to use loo...was up there 20 minutes after her collection time!!

and in last house on moving day..removal guy asked to use loo............and broke it!!!
i had to go in and drain to fix it and had to cover my face with a towel..it was bad!

EnidVorhees · 13/10/2006 14:32

I'd be horrified if a builder etc had a POO in my loo

I really would
