Does it annoy you when...

Turtle

I'm surprised how many people aren't bothered by this. My husband once brought a colleague to our house (who I'd never met) and he did a poo that stank the whole house out. Quite honestly I was incensed and actually quite upset. Clearly most of you will think that's ridiculous but I thought it was awful and wouldn't dream of doing that in someone's house.

And no, before you say it, he wasn't ill he was on the way to rugby training with the hubby.

Would I be bothered about someone having a poo in one of our toilets at home- no.
Would I be bothered if they left the toilet is disarray such as smell or stain- when there were things for use in the bathroom to clear this up- yes.

No, that's what toilets are for. as long as they wipe, flush and wash their hands I don't care! and if they use the 'air fresh' too, well, that's a bonus!

The worse thing is if someone blocks up the toilet. One Christmas we had guests and afterwards there was a massive Christmas poo in the toilet, the biggest and longest I have ever seen. To make it worse nearly a whole roll of toilet paper had been shoved down there as well. The toilet was totally blocked up.

i had a terrible time trying to clear it and I won't go into detail about that.

It doesn't bother me at all who does what in our loo, as long as they leave it clean. And thankfully all of our visitors so far have.

If I use someone else's loo and there is a can of air freshener left out on view, I'll spray some. Though to me, air freshener just layers noxious chemical fake floral scent over the top of the offending aroma, and makes it smell worse. Which is why we don't buy it in our house. However, if there is a can in someone else's house, they obviously like the smell - so it's good manners to spray some.

I have to ask - which way is the "correct" way for the loo roll to hang? Due to having the world's smallest loo mine has to sit on top of the radiator. I'm intrigued that there's a specific way to hang the roll. :rotfl:

It's a standing joke in my house that every time my niece visits, she always has to 'go'. She blames my cups of tea. I love the way she comes out and tells me that she's stunk my loo out She's 28 by the way :rotfl:

We were all reading that at work the other day, most people preferred "over", and it's surprising how many people swap round toilet rolls at other people's houses that are hanging the wrong way round.
It's such a strange thing to have such strong feelings about!
I too prefer "over", and correct any "under" ones I find.

I don't mind guests defecating in the toilet, as long as they open the window.

Might I suggest you and the OP consider joint counselling? I'm sure it would be cheaper to get a job lot, this being MSE an' all.

There is something very wrong with your way of thinking if you consider the clean smelling state of your toilet to be more important than a natural bodily function that most people cannot stop. If you need to go, you need to go.

It's not like a poo in your loo will change it forever, it's clean sweet smelling state can easily be restored after all.


Edit: For those who feel this is a real problem for them, why not consider getting one of those sensor air fresheners and sitting it on the cistern lid? At least that would go some way to helping negate the smell and you might find this whole situation less of an issue then?
