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.

Nope not me! But keep defecting.

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.

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

The real question is why OP is so poor her powder room is off the kitchen/near entertaining areas. Powder rooms should be in entry halls.

Why can't the other guests go to their bathroom to wash hands and quickly pee?

Dp
My house is 100 years old and when they added the new part that's where they put my bathroom off the kitchen. It is what it is and I am not spending extra $$$ to move it. Which I can't anyway. There is no space.

I kinda agree with op.

Another thing, turn on the vent to drown out the sound of any bathroom activity including pee. If I am having a party and someone uses the powder room directly outside of the living room, please understand that guest can hear your activity.

OP needs to renovate her powder room with better ventilation.

…that’s either a major issue with your accostics or you throw really boring parties if anyone is paying attention to this.

Re-read the OP.

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.

Wash your hands in the kitchen sink.

I thought this was just common etiquette.

A locking door or stall is enough privacy for me. I don’t have weird hangups about my bodily functions. I poop in public restrooms as well.
