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

[Anonymous]

It’s just terrible manners. It’s sort of like blowing your nose at the dinner table. Revolting.

If I saw these…suddenly my IBD is acting up. I’ll be in the powder room for a while.

Note those products are from the Batshit Craftie site.

I think it's a good place for them.

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.

lol!!! Oh God. I'm sorry. This just highlights one of the MANY reasons I despise vacationing with other people or having guests stay at my house. Hell is other people.

I would never post signs like that, but if your “IBD” ever “acts up” in my powder room and you are “in there for a while,” you will not be invited back to my house. I’ll meet you out at a restaurant or a coffee shop where you can splatter at will.

I'm fascinated people are standing in defense of using the powder room.

Even in my own home, DH and I make sure to go number two in parts of the house that we know are away from where the other person is. If DH is still waking up in the am, reading news in bed, I use the toilet on the other side of the house and not the master, but if he's up and working in the other part of the house, I will use the master bedroom. This is just common decency because poop stinks.

Ha. This is why I think powder rooms are disgusting. They are always in the middle of high traffic areas. I don’t want to hear anyone poop or pee while I’m making dinner or chatting with a friend.

Pp you are also constipated in other ways as well. I suggest you and your dh figure out why it matters.

DP here, but I totally agree with the PP. It’s common courtesy, and who wants to be intimate with someone who poo you’re smelling from 6 feet away.

Y’all just bitter you have poorly-designed first floors. Don’t take your anger out on us.
