Does it annoy you when...

When you've got to go you've got to go.

The removal man did a horrendously stinky poo in our downstairs loo within an hour of us getting the key to the house.

My husband was :mad:

Toilet roll the wrong way really riles me and I always change it if it's wrong.

Maybe you should allocate a men's and a women's toilet? Put a 'Ladies' or 'Gents' sign on the toilet doors. It'd at least keep the dreadfulness to one toilet and make sure you and the other non-smelly bathroom users have a nice loo to yourselves :rotfl:

We mostly do. The one out in the gym is for anybody using the gym/office/staying out there. There is no window but there's a powerful extractor fan. It's not somewhere people congreagate though and it's not part of the house.

When there's just us here the en-suite is pretty much mine, while DH and DD tend to use the family bathroom. Downstairs is used by anybody downstairs.

We had 10 adults, 3 under-2s still in nappies and a dog when they were all here. I don't think much other than bowel movements was discussed. :rotfl:

I dont want anybody to feel uncomfortable in my home. There are scented candles in all loos and the 3 in the house have windows. Why no combination of those could have been used is beyond me. I think they must have grown up believing stingier was better. I know their father regularly farted on them as kids. _pale_

I would be more annoyed if someone came to my house and used the word "poo"

I believe in calling a sh!te a shi!te.

Presumably the removal man was working for you at the time, so had been unable to use alternative facilities to do it... what would you prefer him to have done?

And after how long of you moving in did your OH decide it acceptable to allow a poo into the toilet?

Scented candles in the loo? Lighting those and with some windy expellations, there's a potential for the roof coming off, surely?

Seriously though, would you leave these candles lit, unattended?

I'd rather they didn't do it in the downstairs loo!

I won't have aerosol "air fresheners" in the house. Disgusting things.

Yes, I do burn the candles when I'm not in there. They are in jars, so nothing can get to the flames and there are shelves/surfaces that are nowhere near where people or fabric could be. Not had an issue with it in 8 years in this house, nor 7 in my previous house.

I'll burn them for about half an hour or so and then let the fragrance waft gently as the wax re-sets.

Not only does this poster apparently forbid her husband from using the toilet IN HIS OWN HOUSE but apparently the poor man's mother was exactly the same with his father. Presumably though both the OP and her mother in law were allowed to use their own toilets because their poo didn't smell!

I would seriously think twice about marrying anyone who tried to impose this kind of condition on me, and if it was raised after marriage, I would consider divorce. It is controlling and humiliating behaviour of the most extreme kind.

As for all those who consider only their own bowel habits to be "normal", words fail me. It is no more healthy to open your bowels once a day and be able to train yourself to do so before your daily shower, than it is to open your bowels several times a day, or even only two or three times a week. All of these are considered normal bowel habits

so if you do only poo once a day, that is purely coincidental and not a sign that you are some form of superior being.

It has genuinely never crossed my mind before today that anyone would care what you needed their loo for, provided you left it in the same condition you found it in. Some people really need to get a grip!

I agree that telling someone they can't use a toilet in their own home for the purpose it's meant is ridiculous. Can't imagine what would happen if the home only had one toilet.

And I think yours has to be the biggest overreaction ever.

Calm down, it's all done with tongue firmly in cheek on both sides. Really! ... If you couldn't see the humour in it I am astonished.
