Beach house/houseguest etiquette: go poop in *your* bathroom, not the powder room

[Anonymous]

You’re at the beach and you’re worried about 💩?? What is wrong with you?

The powder room—usually near the kitchen/on the main level—is for washing hands or a quick pee. It is not for you to sit there and grunt and drop a load while others are waiting to wash hands/quickly pee, and then have to smell your stench.

This also goes for when you are a houseguest. In my home, guests have the entire lower level to themselves—full bath, full bedroom with queen-size bed, private sitting area with TV. THAT is where you go to poop, don’t use the powder room on the main level for this purpose.

I said what I said.

Bathrooms are for going to the bathroom. Including "powder rooms" If you don't like it than don't invite others over. To play devil's advocate what if you thought you only had a pee and then had to go #2. Would you expect the visitor to hop up and run to "their" bathroom? You should reconsider having guests over. You are too much.

" I said what I said" whatever that means

Found the person who routinely takes 20 minutes and ties up a bathroom and plays games on their phone.

What a bizarre response to a perfectly normal comment. I’m pregnant, and what I think may happen when I go in there ends up different at times. Get some Poopouri! It’s not that deep!

Go to your private bathroom and stop tying up the one in the common area that other guests need to use to wash their hands or quickly pee.

Who are you to tell people where they can and cannot use the bathroom?

Sorry, you’re not the boss of my bowel movements and never will be. Nothing you can do about it!

That’s the universal sign to tell the pooper to take their time.

I start loudly asking if the bathroom door accidentally got lost. And oh where’s Jim?

He’s on his phone, doesn’t care about what you’re prattling on about.

Sometimes when I go pee I have to poop too. Would have preferred more privacy but I’m not going to pinch it off and head upstairs to finish because you’re a control freak. Get over it.

My guests poop in the toilet they want. People never choose the more “exposed” powder room if they can help it, so if it happens, I assume their digestive system caught up with them

This is so minor, I wonder why you created a thread…

I agree it would be polite to go to your own bathroom. People can be so rude.

There have been many threads about this over the years, including the gross FIL who routinely uses the powder room which is off the kitchen - leaves skidmarks and his stink ruining breakfast.

Why would you WANT to go somewhere that's not as private? That's the real weird thing!

Right. Maybe if you’re so sensitive, and have such relatives, you should get your own accommodations…

The prior example was at someones own home! FIL was their guest and he had his own bathroom. I have a feeling he had a fetish.

Keep peppermint spray in there.

Why are you even keeping track of where your guests are pooping? Since it sounds like your home has plenty of bathrooms and sinks, go use a different one if the one you were aiming for is occupied and stop trying to guess what people are doing in it. It’s bizarre to think so much about anyone else’s bathroom habits.

NP. It really is. There is someone, or maybe two people that are absolutely obsessed with posting about other people's poop. I can't believe it would be more than two of them.

Honestly, the recurrent posts about poop stink this place up more than one bowel movement would in a powder room. JFC, you can always just wait a little stretch to air out the room in real mouth, but these posts never seem to lose their vulgarity.
