Does it annoy you when...

For an offensive loo, you could try an old trick - light a match in the room with the offending smell - apparently the gases are dispersed by the flame! (I've never tried this - so could be an old boys' tale!)

Although not to be tried if you're in the loo with the uncapped sewer and sewer gases escaping :eek:

Can't remember which poster was bragging about her bowel control. Beware, I was a once a day girl until IBS hit in later life, it can happen to anyone :rotfl:

It was definitely the dog - he'd find somebody's leg to lean against before letting rip. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Generally guests using it no.

There's only two things that really annoy me.

Leaving really bad skid marks when the apparatus for removing the offending articles is situated next to the toilet. I am not the designated sh*t brusher in the house so please leave the toilet in the clean state you found it.

Blocking the toilet up using reams of toilet paper, and then breaking the toilet banging away at the handle to get a hard flush. It's not the toilet there's something wrong with. It's you shoving a whole tree down it and expecting it to work properly.

Had both of those and they both annoyed me.

I don't have an aversion to poo, I also share my home with 4 blokes, I've smelt, seen and dealt with it all!! I just get annoyed that some adults are still mystified by their own bowels and the sight of any toilet is enough to trigger a motion! Our youngest was like this for a while, everywhere we went he'd suddenly decide he 'needed' a poo - out for a meal, the cinema, friends' houses. This was when he was about 5 or 6, thankfully, he grew out of it a long time ago.

Actually, I probably do have an aversion to poo, I've been known to throw the boys shoes away rather than clean dog mess off them. I would never have a dog or a cat as a pet as I'd have to clean up after them.

I've done this too

My husband has a colleague who lodges with an elderly couple - he's not allowed to poo in the house, he has to go down the road to Asda!

I hope it is a 24 hour Asda! :eek:

Its terrible for your bowel health to hang on when you need to go:

Thankfully I don't have any bowel problem like IBS and am also pretty much able to control when I need to go so I'm not ever in this position.

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?

I really don't think I need counselling because I don't want a stranger to make my house stink. I have a very active social life but we don't really have people over very often nor do we spend much time in friend's houses.

I'm just quite a squeamish person and though I don't have any issues with any of my own or my husband's functions I don't want to be faced with them from other people. Working in a care home or similar is not a job I would ever consider doing, the idea of dealing with stuff like that repulses me.

Do you have any children?

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:
