Couple Horrified After Elderly Garage Sale Customer Spills Entire Colostomy Bag In Their Bathroom
Garage or yard sales are one of the most effective ways to get rid of the old junk that you don’t need anymore. You sell everything right in front of your doorstep so it’s basically the most ideal setup.

However, dealing with random strangers that want to buy your stuff is probably not going to be fun because a lot of people are simply weird and they just can’t help it. Let’s also not forget the fact that whoever sees the yard sale now knows where you live, so any interaction has to be calculated and diplomatic.
Allowing a stranger to use your bathroom is never a good idea, people are used to trashing public toilets or basically any toilets that that are not theirs, so there’s really nothing to gain from taking that risk. Reddit user u/coolhandhutch was having a garage sale with his wife, everything was going well until a “nice” elderly man politely asked to use their bathroom.
OP and his wife initially had a strict “NO BATHROOM FOR CUSTOMERS” rule that they intended to stick by, but the old man’s politeness earned him some bathroom time. OP had to learn the hard way that no matter the circumstances, it’s never a good idea to let strangers into your bathroom, NEVER.
Here’s the original Reddit post by u/coolhandhutch:
Never judge a book by it’s cover, looks are misleading.
He even had the nerve to casually blame it on the dog...
Sh*t happens, some people take, some give.
Use the bathroom and leave more than $20 worth of damage.
People are always so casual about their craziness.
Sometimes when you're too busy barking you can't concentrate on other stuff.
You have to protect yourself from a poop attack.
It could be worse, much much worse.
Adult diapers for the win, you can’t go wrong with that.
It’s probably something he does quite often.
He could’ve handled it much better.
Not defending his actions, but just trying to understand his situation.
There's probably a website or app for everything.
You basically date people that struggle with the same issues as you.
This is a bit of a generalisation, but better safe than sorry.
Sh*t happens, and sometimes it’s just inevitable.
He could’ve at least tried to clean it instead of blaming it on the poor dog.
Or remodel the bathroom entirely.
I never knew this was a common problem.
Yeah what kind of insane person would do that in their own bathroom.
The things people think they just can get away with.
The coke will cover the costs of the mess she made.
It’s hard not to feel bad for him but he handled the whole situation so horribly.
What an absolute disaster. Pooping yourself is one of the worst things that could happen to you in public.
It’s incredible how uncivilized people become when it comes to using things that are not theirs or sharing things with other people. The amount of abuse and trashing public spaces get is just ridiculous, people just don’t care about things that don’t belong to them.
The best spots people like to ruin are bathrooms, and they get pretty creative with it too. It always looks like a crime scene and if you look closely enough to might even find more concealed evidence, but it’s better to just leave it alone.
The moral of this story is that it’s probably safer to just say no to strangers who ask to use your bathroom.
