Poop Smells in Hotel Rooms?

Trying to figure out the connection to Theme Park Attractions and Strategies

You just dial POOP on your resort room phone and Tinkerbell flies in a sprinkles some magic pixie dust. Comes in two scents......Soarin Citrus and Philharmagic Apple Pie.

Seriously......fan, flush, air freshener and if all else fails, use that time to take a walk and explore the resort.

Well, clearly this falls under the "strategy" part of this board's category.

This is cracking me up! Seriously though, I have a sister who can not poop in hotel room bathrooms! Something deep in her brain won't let her body do it. She has gotten quite constipated on a few vacations....I shouldn't laugh, but it's funny.

I'm one who would prefer my DH and teenage DS use a lobby bathroom...for the good of the whole family! LOL!!!

DF and I have a 'subtle' code of "I need the bathroom, why don't you put the TV on?"

And we got air freshner in our Garden Grocer delivery.

Brilliant!

This thread definitely goes under the questions people are afraid to ask category, but it's great that people are asking and answering.

There is this stuff you can buy called "Poo-pourie" Anyway you spray it into the toilet BEFORE you go number 2. It really does help with the smell. Also, tell your dad to do a coutesy flush between! Turn on the fan in the bathroom, and light a match. You gotta do what you gotta do, but no one wants to smell it!

 

[RescueRanger]

Needing another room to get away from the poop smell...hmmm..why didn't I think of this sooner. Maybe I could have convinced my wife to buy DVC along time ago.

Man these threads lately have been getting really ...... nahh, too easy!

 

[triplejen]

I can't believe this thread!

I know! Seems kind of mean . . . and also a little in denial about the fact that ALL poop smells. Since everyone poops, I don't think any one person is in a position to be complaining about "other people's" smells.

I'm pretty sure the hotel bathrooms have exhaust fans. Use them. Or light a match.

No need to embarrass your family members by asking them to go the LOBBY(!?!) to poop.

 

[HeyIt'sMe]

Flush as soon as it comes out instead of sitting there while you finish. Flush multiple times through the process. Flushing before the odor has time to move around the room really helps to cut down on the intensity of the smell.

Also try to go in the morning and take a shower immediately afterwards before opening the door to the bathroom. Make sure you turn on the fan/air vent in the bathroom. This also help to get rid of the odor before opening the door.

Good Luck! lol!

DH calls this the "Courtesy Flush".

This thread is so gross.

Years ago, a group of my friends and I stayed overnight in a hotel room and one girl did #2 in the bathroom and ever since then we made up a rule. We call it the "Steph rule" (named after my friend), that we have to use the hotel house bathroom to do that

 

[Mrs. D]

Well...I can kinda understand where the poster is coming from...my daddy's are pretty potent and have been since I was young. So now if we were to vacay together he'd have to get his own room...I mean I'm grown, and this even came into consideration when buying a home...we needed multiple bathrooms...one that is farrrrrr away from common areas for my daddy when he comes to visit....

Lots of it is how and what he eats IMO...but hey...it is what it is...

 

[WelovMickey!]

You know we are a comfortable family when we can talk about poop. awww...I love you guys!

Perhaps something from the "Poop at Work Survival Guide" may be of assistance....

HOW TO POOP AT WORK!
We’ve all been there but don’t like to admit it. As much as we try to convince 
ourselves otherwise, the WORKPOOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping 
at work, following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump at work.


CROP DUSTING: When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell 
is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn’t know where it 
came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has 
been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your 
pants.


FLY BY: This is the act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in 
and check! for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and 
come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may 
become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.


ESCAPEE: This is a fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or 
forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of 
embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it 
did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend 
you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all 
involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.


JAILBREAK: When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun 
pace.This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should 
happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom 
to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.


COURTESY FLUSH: The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the 
water. This reduces the amount of airtime the poop has to stink up the 
bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.


WALK OF SHAME: Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you 
have just stunk the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if 
someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that 
thesmell does not exist. This very uncomfortable walk can be avoided with 
the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.


OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER: This is a colleague who poops at work and is 
damn proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the 
bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under his or her arm. Always look 
around the office for the Out Of The Closet Pooper before entering the 
bathroom.


THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N): A group of co-workers who band 
together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group 
can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and 
identify SAFE HAVENS.


SAFE HAVENS: A Safe Haven is a seldom-used bathroom somewhere in the 
building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly 
of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering 
the bathroom.


TURD BURGLAR: This is someone who does not realize that you are in the stall 
and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and 
vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this 
occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will 
avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.


CAMO-COUGH: A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom 
that you are in a stall is called a Camo-Cough. This can be used to cover-up 
a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. The Camo-Cough is very 
effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.


ASTAIRE: An Astaire is a subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd 
Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the 
stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so 
the pooper can poop in peace.


WATERMELON: A watermelon is a big poop that creates a loud splash when 
hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a 
Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.


HAVANA OMELET: A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in 
the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using a Camo-Cough 
with an Astaire.


UNCLE TODD: An Uncle Todd is a bathroom user who seems to linger around 
forever. This person could spend extended lengths of time in front of the 
mirror or sitting on the pot. An Uncle Todd makes it difficult to relax while on 
the crapper, as you should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty. 
This benefits you as well as other bathroom attendees.

Seriously, I would assume all hotel bathrooms have an exhaust fan and it comes on with the light. I unfortunately do not have a fan at home, nor do we have more than 1 bathroom (2 young girls, it's going to be hectic when they get to high school.) I wish I had a fan in the bathroom at home. It would make things a lot easier for everyone.

Until 2 minutes ago, I thought I had seen every type of thread.

I was wrong.

 

[ChristaDeVil]

This thread made me smile today (because I have the brain of a 13 year old boy and I love poop humor). I think you've gotten some really good suggestions! Matches and Febreeze to Go (in the little spray bottle...available in the travel size section of your local store) have been a life saver.

That is awesome... I know several people my DH works with will appreciate this.

One-Drop Deodorizer works pretty well. I can't post links yet so just search google for it.

Ho'okani

Turn on the fan in the bathroom, and light a match. You gotta do what you gotta do, but no one wants to smell it!

I forgot about this!!! We took this two trips ago, and it's AWESOME!! Can't believe I said that about something in this conversation. Will have to pick up some more of this. Definitely better than air freshener...scratch my first suggestion.

Just a drop!!! It's a miracle smell cover upper.... HIGHLY recomend
