Was having work done outside....
While foreman was away, the only one I’ve talked to....one of the workman asked to use bathroom. I was kind of shocked cuz covid and they’ve been here 2 days about 6-7 persons - so assumed this wasn’t necessary.
To my bemused pause he said it was an emergency so of course I acquiesced .... I expected it to be quick and we both had masks on....
But is wasn’t quick, and over time, I had to acknowledge the truth.
And the toilet only had one flush in it!!! We keep turning water off cause it runs so only turn it on when needed....and then I began to suspect more than one flush was needed!!!

They know how these work. He figured it out!
I sat on couch with mask on for 10 minutes after...
Hopefully that was enough?

When I first moved here I rented a townhouse apartment. One day I returned home from work to discover my apartment had been burglarized. To add insult to injury, the burglar took a and didn't flush the toilet. The police were unable to collect the DNA.

I had a neighbor with teen age kids. The kids had a party when mom and dad were out of town. One of the party goers pooped on a plate and microwaved it as they trashed the house.
By comparison, your problem isn't so bad!

When I first moved to the place I'm living now, the garage door was working fine, as needed, all moving day long. When I went to close it up for the evening, still with a lot of my possessions in boxes inside the garage, the door wouldn't close. Obviously I couldn't leave it that way and called for a repairman. He arrived promptly and within a few minutes asked if he could use the bathroom right near the garage door and steps away from the kitchen where I was unpacking. I acquiesced. There was very little to muffle the sound. At least the water worked and the toilet flushed, but it was before I had even had a chance to use my own toilet for the first time. I had friends who lived north of your city, Rukh. On a trash collection day, my friend saw a trash collector hotfoot it from the street to someplace that seemed to be behind her detached garage. The trash truck seemed to be parked in front of her house for a longer time than usual. Then she saw the trash collector amble back down her driveway toward the street, the truck got moving, and they resumed their collections. Curiosity got the best of her. She walked around the far side of the garage, and then behind it, and found a pile of fresh poop. And next to it was a square of flannel he had ripped from his shirt to use as TP.

It wasn't just the but that coupled with there could be 10 minutes of a Covid infested cloud hanging out in your bathroom is tough because you don't have a window to air out the room quickly.

lol, can covid germs be in fumes? That's a Q for PMD. If he took his mask off while in the bathroom and was in there 10 minutes, its not a happy thing, although 10 is much safer than 15. Maybe its time to buy poopuri or whatever it is and have it next to the toilet?

Did she file a compliant??

To add insult to injury, the burglar took a and didn't flush the toilet. The police were unable to collect the DNA.did they try?? No. Nothing solid to test. Watered down. I got home around 1800 hours and noticed the police were at my next door neighbor's apartment. I figured a break-in. I got to my front door and it was slightly ajar. Door frame was broken. Looked inside and saw my TV, VCR and microwave were missing. Walked next door and told the police when they were done there to come on over for the same reason. Thieves walked right past a brand new TV still in its box. Renter's insurance covered the thefts. Good to have renter's insurance.

I read a medical report that COVID can be "shared" via farts because it's present in poop.
However, I'd have to guess your chances of catching it from someone dumping in your bathroom has to be small.

Speaking of toilets... The mayor forgot turn off his mic when he took a bathroom break from the council meeting.

In my first apt after college my friend and I partied with the maintenance staff and we had an arrangement where they could hang out and watch tv at our place and help themselves to our beer during their breaks in exchange for apt upgrades, had to draw a line when one rolled a deuce and didn’t flush.

That's flipping rude, I have to say, to use a toilet in someone's house and leave behind that kind of "evidence." Public restroom, that's different, but in someone's house? I'd be pissed. Do you have a bathroom brush in that bathroom? I think bathroom brushes are a hint to guests that they are expected to clean up after themselves.
