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

[Anonymous]

Also how bad is your diet that you just head to the neighbor's for an evening soiree and might need to take a full blown dump?

Many of us have our morning coffee, use the bathroom, and then go on with our day. Evenings out do not involve random shits.

Consider looking into nutrition as a general matter!

Most healthy people have daily poops like clockwork. We know when it's going to happen, because it happens at the same time every day. And honestly, it shouldn't even smell if you're eating plenty of roughage. Nor should it take more than 1 minute or 2.

Wake up, get coffee, poop. 30-45 minutes later, I poop again. Both at home in the morning before work. There are rarely random shits unless there's something really wrong with me, in which case I'm inclined to stay home anyway.

I agree, OP. That is gross. Who poops right next to a kitchen, or where others are hovering outside the door, other than in an anxiety dream?

Agree with OP. This is why I always look for the master when I go to someone's house. That's where I use the facilities

What a STRANGE post. I think it is totally bizarre that OP thinks she has the right to control which bathroom you use for which purpose. Or that there are etiquette rules regarding this.

Look forward to the sequel: what bathroom she/he dictates when you are menstruating.

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

Yes, let us stipulate: If you can't put your powder room in a discrete area, better not to have one at all.

Let me stipulate that if you don't know the difference between discreet and discrete, you shouldn't use the word.

Why is this strange? Do you like listening to other people poop while in the kitchen or family room? Or smell it once they open the doors?

Many of us don't take a drug every morning that spurs our shits.

Solution: rip out the toilet and install a urinal instead (they have a female version too).

I agree with OP. Houseguests with their own bathrooms should poop in their own bathroom. I think most of us would appreciate the privacy.

However, there are always situations where your guests will use your powderroom to poop. What is it is a dinner guest?

My solution is to have Poo-Pourri in all bathrooms. It really works. My kids have taken it to beach week as well as their college dorms too. No one wants to be known as the person who produces the stinky putrid dung!!

Ya'll clearly have no family members with IBD's, Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis. If you did you would be happy that the family member reached any toilet in your house. As an IBD sufferer I've scrubbed floors when I could not reach any toilet in time.

I don't understand the point of having a toilet if it can't be used.

I'm assuming this post is not directed at people's own close family members.

Are there that many people who really think that their $hit doesn't stink?

This stuff is tacky. Just put a candle in there or a nicer room spray.

Also- you don't need a whole roll of toilet paper to clean yourself. Just a sheet or two. Stop clogging toilets

Agree. Why are people normalizing coffee poops? As if this is the human routine.
