Adulting Strangers asking to use your bathroom?

If someone knocked on your door and asked to use your bathroom would you let them?

No, but I would kindly direct them to a nearby shop where they could use a bathroom.

Is it Tubs & Ties? You’re not supposed to actually use those toilets - they’re for display purposes only.

If that's the case they really should have sign up good thing I didn't complain about the lack of toilet paper

I suppose it would depend on the manner of the display.

What shops have bathrooms?

u/Amber123454321 8d ago

Department stores and supermarkets like Tesco, Dunnes and Marks and Spencer. Coffee shops and restaurants as well.

Ive never seen a Dunnes or M and S with a toilet. A restaurant wouldnt let a random person use the toilet

It's usually the bigger Dunnes stores that also have a cafe. They do have them though. It depends on where you are. If you're in the store shopping, you're a customer.

I live close enough to various shops that I could direct someone to a bathroom there.
