Upstairs is off-limits to guests

[Anonymous]

A fan does not disguise the sounds of pooping, and a match doesn’t get rid of the smell entirely. So I will continue to use the bathroom upstairs when I need to poop or if I have an explosive bowel movement.

And you will continue to offend your hosts by going into the private spaces of their home without asking, and leaving a nasty smell behind.

Mostly thinly veiled insults. Now in true DCUM fashion they’re turning it into a class thing.

Also, I actually asked Jeff to just lock the thread because it’s going nowhere and the same arguments are being regurgitated over and over and just turning demeaning. But apparently he feels there is great value to all of these responses so here we are.

Maybe stop reading something you find tedious, and maybe stop bumping to the top of Recent Topics by commenting?

Are you five? Leave the fan on and run the sink. Didn't your mother ever teach you anything?

Allow me to state a "sensitivity" that I think must be shared by 99% of well adjusted people: please don't think you're welcome to go and poop in someone else's master bathroom unless you've been specifically told that you're welcome to use it.

Sorry not sorry. If I have to poop or get the runs, I’m not using the powder room. I am going to use the most private bathroom available which is the master bath.

And if you enter my house I will be sure to padlock my master bedroom door. Sorry not sorry.

It doesn’t sound like you’re very concerned with the comfort of your guests.

NP. If you provide a bathroom and an area to sit comfortably, you're provided enough to host people in your home. Period. Nothing else is required.

As it says in the Sesame Street toilet training book, "Before we leave the house, we sit on the potty." Take care of your business, then enjoy your visit.

I have IBS. Diarrhea can strike at any time. Literally any time. Thanks for telling me I should have taken care of that at home (impossible), and enjoy the cacophony coming out of my a$$ along with the oh so pleasant aroma. I hope when I open the door the stench hits you like a ton of bricks. Enjoy!

So you think it is preferable to unleash your diarrhea in a host's master bathroom without mentioning it rather than risk your own embarrassment at using the powder room? And where do you get off with your hostility? It is not the fault of anyone who would ever host you at a party that you have IBS. Your IBS does not obligate anyone to open their entire home to you. What do you do when you visit friends who have only one bathroom?

Also, as a fellow IBS sufferer, perhaps you need to speak with a medical professional about ways to manage your IBS.

Omg thank you so so much! After 20 years of dealing with IBS I never ever once thought to speak to my physician about it! Gosh, where would I be without you? I’m gonna go call my dr. RIGHT NOW!

Just dawned on me. . .
Both my sets of grandparents lived on farms, and neither had indoor toilets until 1969-1970.

Outhouses are clearly the answer. Nobody is surprised by odor.
Nobody having coffee and rhubarb pie in the dining room is going to hear your explosive diarrhea.
Nobody is going to go poking around in there just to see what's what.

You are making your host feel so uneasy that they have to LOCK you out of certain rooms because they can not trust you to stay out of them.

What an unpleasant person to have over....yikes.

And if the host is so uneasy they should find a better class of guests. I love my family and friends. They are welcome anywhere in my home.

I'm beginning to think this really is a class issue. It's clearly (to me) trashy as hell to think you can go into someone's bedroom or private bathroom without being invited to do so for any reason at all, let alone to do so with the intention of dirtying those areas with something like foul smelling diarrhea.

I agree. The level of entitlement and the lack of common decency is pretty amazing.

Brilliant solution! Maybe a good strategy would be to rent a Don's Jon when you invite certain people over.

Wow. You should stay away from parties not just because of your IBS, but your personality as well. Or lack therof

And if you are invited back you might find yourself sneaking upstairs only to find locks on all the upstairs doors. Hopefully you can make it back downstairs to the powder room fast enough. Goodness knows we wouldn't want you to be embarrassed!!

I’ll definitely stay away from your parties, that’s for sure.

My effing neighbor did and he CLOGGED the toilet. Asshole couldn't even pop over to his own house. He is a big pig fattie so there you go. Not getting another invite no matter how awkward.
