Seriously people, use the fucking fan. It clears away odors and covers up the sounds of your dropping a deuce. If you want to stew in your shit smell and revel in the music of your magical poop plops, do so in the comfort of your own home. If you're a guest and the bathroom has a fan, turn it on. We don't want to share.

What a literal shit post.

[-] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago

Do you ask your guests to turn the fan on, or just passive aggressively whine about it when they leave?

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

The irony of you actually being a passive aggressive douchebag by pretending the op might be passive aggressive is off the charts.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

A post about bathroom usage seems an appropriate place for douchery.

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

Consider yourself lucky. Many older European homes don't have bathroom fans. Some older bathrooms barely have windows.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 1 month ago

No ventilation at all? I feel like every poop would become a shirtless poop in such a bathroom.

[-] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 4 points 1 month ago

It is even worse in public bathrooms.

Europeans give Americans shit on public bathroom design, but the smell is a lot worse in European bathrooms generally.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Especially the ones with the lil poop ledge and a thimble of water

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Considering many buildings don't have air conditioning, you're spot on.

[-] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Can confirm - mine has neither, it's a challenge.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 1 month ago

You can wire bathroom fans to always come on when the light is on. I recommend it.

How do you know when to stop wiping?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

( ͡◉◞ ͜ʖ◟ ͡◉) the taste

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Blind people smell the paper. Since I learned this, I do it too. Olfactory is a better standard than visual for this.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Like the Ozzy Osbourne song.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 9 points 1 month ago

I set up a desk fan in the doorway to blow air out into the rest of the house

Which is technically in the bathroom

[-] calabast@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

I think I just don't think about it until it's happening, and then it's too late.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Does nobody courtesy flush? No fan required!

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

After a recent renovation, our new exaust fan is much quieter, and it kind of bugs me. It is nice to be able to leave it running longer, though. The old one was too obnoxiously loud to leave on after you finished a shower.

I like the extra noise. Not that I need cover or anything.

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Agreed.

grunting noises

[-] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I always run the fan for the same reasons (and prefer a noisier fan) but it doesn't actually cover the sound outside the bathroom. It just gives you the impression that it does.

[-] tal@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I mean, you can stick a light switch with a motion sensor on it that'll flip on automatically.

Probably easier to make your machine do what you want than it is to make global human behavior be what you want.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I went into a public restroom in a gas station once that was set up with a motion sensor. But I didn't immediately know that. It kinda freaked me out for a bit when after like 3 minutes the entire room went pitch black dark. I thought their breaker kicked off or something, while sitting on the toilet.

If it's gonna be on a timer, it ought to be set for more like 10 minutes or something. I dunno about everyone else, but I don't tend to do much of any significant movement when sitting on the toilet to keep the lights and fan on.

[-] waterSticksToMyBalls@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Every sensor I've seen let's you set the timeout, and some of the nice once are actually presence detectors so they won't turn off if you are sitting still.

[-] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Water sticks to my balls as well 👍

Pretty sure they wouldn't let random people access or adjust their public restroom timer though. 🤷‍♂️

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Probably easier to just not invite shit-sharing assholes.

[-] Zoot@reddthat.com 1 points 1 month ago

Its global human behavior to share your shit smells with the group?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I open the windows. Also the blinds. Then I make eye contact with anyone I can. The poop stares are fun, especially when you're working on birthing a watermelon.

[-] Dr_01000111@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I have no Windows or fans in my collage dorm bathroom

[-] Dr_01000111@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

I use my rooms desk fan and play music at all times

[-] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

gotta appreciate finnish home design, usually all ventilation systems have exhaust in the toilet/bathroom and intakes in other rooms. no need to switch anything on or off when pooping. also less mold.

[-] Deello@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

The fans are there for moisture not smell.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 month ago

They can deal with both.

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

The smell is often also moist.

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

I like to imagine your guest has a Lemmy account and was browsing while doing a fanless poop 💩

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Luckily, while this has happened in the past, there isn't a recent incident tied to this post.
