Men and the toilet

31 replies

QuicksandJesus · 22/04/2006 23:02

Why are men so irritating when it comes to the toilet?

Why do they:

a) take so long when going for a number 2? seriously...what is it that keeps them in there for half an hour+??

b) Why does there poo always smell so much worse?

and finally.... why do they go to the toilet, spend half an hour in there and then come out warning people to "leave it for half an hour or so..." when they know full well that other people in the house are waiting to use the bathroom??

It really winds me up.

Your bloke's the one with the appalling diet, right?

Think that answers all your questions!

What get on my nerves to say the least when it comes to men and toilets is whenever my dh gets up for a wee in the middle of the night he seems to have a problem getting it in the toilet, is it not a big another target????Angry

and what's with the newspaper - can't they just go in, poo, and come out, it should not take 1/2 an hour! I think dh would have a telly in the loo if he could.

we have a book shelf opposite from our loo cos i got so sick of the pile of books he left in there...

but i think the dvd player beats that!

Radley · 23/04/2006 15:51

My dh also decides to go whilst I am either in the bath or just before Angry, unfortunately, it looks like dd1 is the same.

Also, why is it that they NEVER clean it when they have pebbledashed it. I metioned it the other day and he said he could find the cleaners for the toilet duck thing, he wouldn't believe me when i said that they were behind him on the shelf and had been there for over a year.

my bil goes in with a butty and a brew Shock...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dh isn't as bad as him but does takes ages and also tends to answer his phone while in there Shock.! TBH if I knew someone I was talking to was taking a sh## I would be mortified.!

0007 · 23/04/2006 22:35

I think it is beacuse of the prostate and do your DH/DP/DB all HAVE to drink tea or coffee beforehand? And go every morning like clockwork?

0007 · 23/04/2006 22:36

I mean I think it has got something sexual in their habits

Ledodgyherring · 23/04/2006 22:42

Mine has been known to wheel a computer chair with an electronics book on it into the bathroom to read in comfort while he poos.

0007 · 23/04/2006 22:44

Why can't they just poo? What are our sons learning from these men?

0007 · 23/04/2006 22:45

I asked DH and he said it is relaxing so I said relax on the settee and poo on the toilet

moondog · 23/04/2006 22:45
