So disgusted...
Spent 2 hours today cleaning my house from top to bottom for a showing, making it look just right. Get my 2.5 year old and 10 month old out of the house, come back at the end of the showing, only to find out they haven't shown up. So I left again just in case they were running late. Come back an hour later to find they had been there, and someone pooped in my master bathroom and clogged the toilet. So I had to see someone else's $--t in my bathroom and my husband had to flush a few times to get things going. No damage done, but I'm so disgusted. I hate people. If you have to go, at least use the powder room downstairs, not the master, and FLUSH!!
And I know they didn't wash their hands because my towels were still dry and folded perfectly. :-(

My Planning Bio
123
The realtor left her card here, and I'm seriously contemplating emailing her and telling her what happened. I guess I'll wait to see if they make an offer, first ;-) But I want her to know how gross her clients are so that she can watch them when she takes them to houses in the future.
We had the same thing happen. I'd heard of it happening to other people but seriously thought it couldn't be true b/c WTF would take a *** in someone's house during a showing and not flush? WHO DOES THAT???
We also had mud tracked in, dirty hand prints on the walls, sopping wet hand towels and just general asshattery.
How do you know it wasn't the realtor who pooped?!
How gross!
It would be so weird to me to use the bathroom in a house we're looking at. I bring along a travel potty for my daughter and we go out to the car for her to go if she has to.
That's freakin disgusting.
We are in the same boat as you - house on the market with a 1 year old and 3 year old - it's so much work to clean up and get out of the house - but it will be worth it.
We had a showing yesterday too - and came home afterwards with the dog, kids, dinner. All the lights were on so I was wondering if they had showed up yet... But I went to go through the garage (like I always do with the attached garage), and they LOCKED my door to the garage. And I forgot to put my house keys back on the ring after I made copies for the realtor 2 weeks ago...
Luckily, I was able to get the screen off the master window and open it - and climbed through my window. Sheesh. I understand locking the front door on your way out - but WHY the door to the garage?
Your story is way worse than mine though - if that's any consolation
Oh I would definitely be contacting my agent (and my agent in turn would have the conversation with the showing agent). I would state - the people who came yesterday used the master bathroom and left the toilet clogged. It is not acceptable for people to use your toilet and as you stated if it is an emergency - use the GUEST bathroom.
I have seen in homes I have toured little cards left through out the home detailing a feature of the home (they were typed and elegant) including one left on the closed toilet that seat that have stated "please kindly do not use the facilities"
Gross.
I wouldn't care anymore if it was the clients or the agent. They would hear from my agent. It is not acceptable. I highly doubt it is an agent but either way - they would hear about it.
I'm in no way condoning what they did because it is very, very gross, but maybe they really had to go and they just couldn't hold it. When you gotta go, you gotta go, but like I said, it doesn't make it any less gross.
OR MAYBE they wanted to see if your plumbing could handle their bowel movements. I thought you said it stuffed up the toilet. Maybe when they tried to flush it wouldn't go down. Seriously though, we have close friends that didn't put an offer on a house because the plumbing was not strong enough, and they didn't want to pay to upgrade it. But they did not poop in the toilet to test it out. They just flushed a few toilets and turned on the water.
I might say something to their agent. But what is that really going to do, other than embarrass them? Still gross, still wrong, and for g*d sake wash your hands!
I can understand checking water pressure and seeing how the toilets flush. But would someone really save up for a good BM when they found a house they really liked? "Hey honey, I really like this one, let me go see if the plumbing can take me."
What if they like the next house and can't perform again?
I'm picturing someone telling their agent they need some time in the master bath and then asking for other listing papers so they have reading material.

That's awful! Definitely complain. We found vomit on our kitchen floor. And someone's kid let a red popsicle drip all over my white furniture. People can be so rude.
