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.
Do you ask your guests to turn the fan on, or just passive aggressively whine about it when they leave?
The irony of you actually being a passive aggressive douchebag by pretending the op might be passive aggressive is off the charts.
A post about bathroom usage seems an appropriate place for douchery.
LOL
Consider yourself lucky. Many older European homes don’t have bathroom fans. Some older bathrooms barely have windows.
No ventilation at all? I feel like every poop would become a shirtless poop in such a bathroom.
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.
Especially the ones with the lil poop ledge and a thimble of water
Considering many buildings don’t have air conditioning, you’re spot on.
Can confirm - mine has neither, it’s a challenge.

You can wire bathroom fans to always come on when the light is on. I recommend it.
I shit in the dark.
How do you know when to stop wiping?
( ͡◉◞ ͜ʖ◟ ͡◉) the taste
Blind people smell the paper. Since I learned this, I do it too. Olfactory is a better standard than visual for this.
Like the Ozzy Osbourne song.
I set up a desk fan in the doorway to blow air out into the rest of the house
You poop in the bathroom?
In the shower.
Which is technically in the bathroom
I think I just don’t think about it until it’s happening, and then it’s too late.
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.
Agreed.
grunting noises
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.
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.
Does nobody courtesy flush? No fan required!
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.
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.
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.
Water sticks to my balls as well 👍
Pretty sure they wouldn’t let random people access or adjust their public restroom timer though. 🤷♂️
Probably easier to just not invite shit-sharing assholes.
Its global human behavior to share your shit smells with the group?
I have no Windows or fans in my collage dorm bathroom
I use my rooms desk fan and play music at all times
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.
I like to imagine your guest has a Lemmy account and was browsing while doing a fanless poop 💩
Luckily, while this has happened in the past, there isn’t a recent incident tied to this post.
The fans are there for moisture not smell.
They can deal with both.
The smell is often also moist.
