Poop Smells in Hotel Rooms?

[Rainwater]

It just totally amazes me how people can be so interested in this particular function of the body. You guys can go on for hours, and hours, and hours.

Enough is enough, its time to start discussing something really important........THE SILENT LINE FARTER!The person in line who just has to fart, and the smell starts the paint peeling off of the walls, or the guy who does it in tight quarters.

This is reminding me of a particular Seinfeld episode about a smell from a valet attendant that took on a life of its own.

you know, it happens to us all. But there are poopy smells and there are"OMG, what died in here poopy smells' and the latter is about 20 times worse than the first. While I know everybody poops, and most of us don't smell like roses, there are a select, special few in our population that can not only smell up the bathroom, but can leave such an odor that you can smell it when you come back into the room AFTER you've been at a park all day.

Unfortunately for me, my DH is one of those special people. The smell can literally make me gag. Not all the time, but occasionally. He flushes as he goes, uses air freshener, turns on the fan, and because he's such an early riser and a great guy, WILL go to the lobby and use the facilities to spare our noses. He gets up at 5 anyway, so he'll take a stroll around the resort, get a drink, "sit a spell" in the restroom, then come back to get ready.

It's so bad at home, that if I hear the bathroom door open, I ask if he's pooping and if so, he lets me go first, so I don't have to go in after him.

Funny thread!!

OMG!! I think we're married to the same guy!! Once when we were in Rome, I walked into our hotel bathroom after DH and it took everything in my power not to throw up! Seriously! (I'm gagging just thinking about it!) He kept asking me what was wrong and I didn't want to hurt his feelings by telling him!
In our house there is only one bathroom DH is "allowed" to poop in. I made the rule!

C'mon... poop is funny!

As for the silent line farter... that form of "crop dusting" should be illegal... that is just wrong on so many levels!

I can't believe I read 7 pages about pooping! I am laughing my butt off

My SIL never would poop if her husband was in the house, EVER. They are divorced now...

I guess I would just make a joke out of it, try to alleviate some of your embarrassment with humor. "whew! You may not want to go in THERE for a while!"

And, as the sign says at our cabin "If it's brown, flush it down!"

 

[Boncho]

You guys are just toooo funny!!!

I work with all men and my office is only about 10 feet from the bathroom, with the air flow going right past the bathroom to my office. Let me tell you, some days I open my window even if it is -15 degrees outside. Oh yeah, and the bathroom doesn't have a fan.

When I was in Korea, some of the public restrooms had courtesy buttons that you could press whle pooping and the sound of chirping birds would mask the noise.

Chirping? For some of us, it would take a murder of crows cawing out Handel's Messiah, plus twelve farmers trying to scare them off with hoots, hollers, and shotgun blasts.

Also: obligatory suggestion to have your husband's snoring checked out via a sleep study. My CPAP machine is my best friend, and my wife can't even sleep without hearing it any more!

Courtesy flushes are a requirement in my house, but nothing really helps. I keep "big breath mints" in the toilet and it doesn't begin to cover it. Febreeze helps a little.

Whenever DH does his duty, everyone knows not to go in there afterwards. Leave the exhaust fan on and the door closed, PLEASE! Of course, DH is not allowed to use "my" bathroom. He and my son use the main bathroom while me and my daughter use "my" bathroom. Those two are just too gross! I've threatened to build an outdoor toilet just for them to use.

And don't get me started about DH's snoring! He could rupture eardrums! The only way he doesn't snore is if he is laying on his right side, BUT he hates to sleep that way. Says he doesn't get enough rest. I learned long ago not to give a darn if he gets enough rest! I have literally taken both feet and kicked him out of bed over it. Over the years, I have learned to sleep with a pillow over my head to help block the noise. The kids HATE sharing a room with him while on vacation.

On the snoring issue, I have to go to sleep first or I cannot sleep all night, my husband is so bad. And he even had a septoplasty to fix a deviated septum!

On the poop issue, my husband will take a 1/2 hour to do his business. Then it takes 2 hours with the fan going to get the smell out. That is just wrong...

Sorry but at this point, or at any point of this thread, where does it involve THEME PARK STRATEGIES AND ATTRACTIONS..
unless your family members doing their business in the theme park, not the hotel room, this thread doesn't even fit here....
but it was hysterical that someone is so worried about an every day activity that they had to ask people about it.....wish that was the only worry I had when I was planning my Disney trip....

 

[Bembol_Rocco]

Unbelievable. This topic has 6,871 views, 109 replies and 8 pages long. I guess everybody has their own strategy of getting rid of poop smells.

 

[lpereira]

Presumably you are relaxed enough around your family to handle bodily functions but barring that.. coffee grounds. They are used in ERs and ambulances all the time because you shouldn't use sprays for fear of aggravating someones respiratory problem. They work great at odor control. I don't know why.
I can't say too much though it was 5 years before I was comfortable enough around my husband to accomplish some tasks.

 

[Aquagirl]

Traveling with my husband and brother it is necessary to bring travel size air freshner sprays. The travel size from target or the bath & bodyworks ones are great. The fan on with courtesy flushes are a must, however I like sending them to the lobby best.

This is actually a great suggestion. I also read recently that charcoal is great for absorbing odors. At the our resort, they had a large glass bowl of coffee beans laid out. The reason was to absorb odoors. I also wonder if a box of that old standby, baking soda, would help.

Oh man, I'm just imagining walking into the stretching room of HM and having the "silent farter" let loose right then and there.. only for the ride to break down

 

[Amy8888]

Off to add air freshener to my Garden Grocer shopping list...(Seriously, my DH has the worst smells ever and he just laughs at me when I nearly pass out from them!).

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

D'oh!

How's that for you neigh-sayers... that's how it applies to Theme Park Attractions and Strategies!!!

 

[disneyfav4ever]

Just pack some air freshner, it should make the smell much better.

 

[Victoriasmom98]

OMG I am laughing so hard. Between this and the lady who saw this guy's "jewels" in the pants thread.

Ok, I can't believe I'm asking, but where's that thread????
