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

Speak for yourself. Ours is in the front hall. Bathrooms should not be near kitchens/living areas.

Here’s a suggestion: why don’t you provide a really good odor eliminator in every bathroom, on the back of the toilet where it can’t be missed, and maybe even a sticky note that says IF YOU DUMPED A LOAD PLEASE SPRAY TO REDUCE YOUR STENCH!

By the way as a healthcare worker with extensive experience in all things defecatory, I recommend Bye Bye Odor which is medical grade deodorizer which doesn’t leave a heavy perfume and actually eliminates poop stench.

My favorite part of these threads is that there are so many people on here that pretend it never occurred to them that shit has an odor or that there are any cultural norms at all surrounding bathrooms. It's fairly universal to use a private bathroom when possible. It's literally everyone's preference not to have to go number 2 when someone might walk in right after you, especially at a party or something like that where you know people.

In real life, the only people I have ever known to take dumps in powder rooms are men over 60. Its's the same throat clearing, nose blowing crew that snores and is just sort of all-around disgusting.

My DH has been this way since his 30s. Even clogged a neighbors powder room once. The man has no shame.

I’m one of the PPs who thinks it’s deeply weird OP (and you apparently) care where anyone else poops. I guess my house growing up had well ventilated bathrooms? Neither of them were “private” nor did we have issues with odor. So when I say that prior to DCUM threads I had literally never contemplated which bathroom to use other than the nearest free one I speak nothing but the truth. I enjoy going through my life not thinking about my friends’ bathroom habits. It’s a nice way to live. You should try it.

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

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.

So, if one day one friend couldn’t hold it, or didn’t have access to a more “private” bathroom because they weren’t staying overnight you would NEVER invite them back ever? That seems extreme.

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.

Wash your hands in the kitchen or “quickly pee” in one of the other bathrooms in the house, Becky.

The market for these has direct overlap with the tacky people who buy those signs that say “We Don’t Swim In Your Toilet, Don’t Pee In Our Pool” or “Welcome To Our O O L. Notice There Is No P In It. Please Keep It That Way.” There’s always a market to peddle signs to classless people.

Please tell this to my in-laws. They insist on pooping in the bathroom off the living/dining room in our small house when they have the whole downstairs guest suite. Ugh!

I’m not gonna lie, I understand the OP. I only do number 2 in certain bathrooms. The powder room is a big no-no. I’ve lived in my house for 4 years and I’ve never done #2 in my powder room. I can’t explain why.

But on the other hand, bathrooms are made for both pee and pooping so I get it. I wouldn’t be mad. But I may think less of a person lol. Like I’d remember who recently used the bathroom and see then and smell it and would feel differently about that person.

Don’t judge me! lol
