I totally feel certain people shouldn't ask to use my bathroom.
The Plumber, Contractor, Salesman, Cable guy etc.
But if it is someone visiting you for personal reasons, you have to provide a place for them to squat.
Since you are obviously weirded out by it, provide toilet seat covers wet wipes and leave out some cleaners so they get the hint to use them.
You will have to clean up after them though to ease your conscience.
If you can't do it, get some counseling and in the mean time, tell them the bowl has cleaner standing in it, but there is a nice public restroom around the corner.

Wow that is inexplicably rude. If you said that to me I'd crap in the middle of your kitchen and lift my leg on your plant... I mean really.
I swear that I will or have my son do that the next time a store claims they don't have a bathroom cuz you know they do.
One time I said, "so you'd rather I do it on the floor!" I mean, when ya gotta go, you gotta go.
Give them a pan or paper plate. This way they can smush it in your face or throw the smelly thing in your garbage can.
You could say something like " you ain't stickin your dirty fat *** on my latrine" .. that should win you some friends.
If you have an obsession buy some lysol.

OK. Never heard of that one. What do you do when you are a guest at someone elses house and you need to use the bathroom and they politely say no? Go home? If someone told me I couldn't use their bathroom, I'd think they were kidding. If they were'nt, I guess I'd ask to borrow a glass!! And wouldn't go to their house again. That's a pretty strange peev!

Okay, I'm being serious here, but do you mean #1 or #2 ? B/C I can understand you wouldn't want someone to drop a log in your bathroom, but even if they just go pee? Hmmm...I've never thought of that. I guess it never really bothered me b/c I wouldn't want a stranger to use my bathroom at all but I wouldn't have them at my house in the first place. Besides, I know I clean my toilet REALLY well, so it would be clean when I need to use it anyways!

I am a bit like that also, but I do allow people to use the rest room.. I would suggest that when you move make sure that there is more than one bathroom. That way one can be exclusievly for guests.

Well I guess you should tell anyone who walks thru your door that they can only stay for 30 minutes or they can go pee in your yard.
If you can't stand it, don't have people over; saying "no" to a guest in need of relief is RUDE on your part.

What's the problem. Afraid they are digging through the cupboards?
Personally, I wouldn't return to your house, EVER if told no.
Buy some cleaning supplies and clean up after your valued guests AND get some therapy.

sorry to say this but you shouldn't have a pet peeve over something like that. As long as they don't have HIV then it isn't going to kill you. Try to get over it.

People like you shouldn't have any guest over ever. You should be a hermit because you're rude.

That's a new one on me. What do you expect them to do? Or did you just waste 5 points with a silly question?
