    One thought...Is he foreign? Because "bathroom" is not used as a euphemism for "toilets" in all languages...So if he asked "May I use your bathroom?" he could have meant it literally.

    Still....:eek:

    Going to have to try this to freak out my friends.

    Perhaps he didn't make the toilet in time, had a poop accident in his pants and needed to clean himself up.

    Being honest, this wouldn't have bothered me. I would have been like 'Oh, I didn't realise you meant you wanted a shower, I would have gotten you a clean towel'
    Whats the difference between him sitting his butt on your toilet, which you then have to sit your own butt back on. I mean does anyone really dettol after someone uses their toilet? He's just standing in the bath using some water? Yeah its weird but it's not like he went through your wardrobe and started wearing your clothes or something?

    I remember your other threads OP. The one about someone stealing your food and the one about getting reported for drinking at your desk. Someone is not having a laugh at your expense are they? Or even worse, got a vendetta against you.

    Yeah, me too. There's some oddballs in that workplace.. :undecided

    I think that if the guy is otherwise normally behaved, this is the most likely explanation, and he was just too embarrassed to ask...

    If I'm not close to them then yes. I'd probably get the steamer out as well.

    Well this could be said for communal showers, like at a swimming pool/gym or similar and it doesn't put people off using them?
