House hunting etiquette

I was gone over the weekend (as you all know), as was Jason. Apparently he and the boys had a big time camping and biking. Saturday night was spent sitting around the fire, shelling and eating peanuts and drinking beer. Every once and a while, someone would say, "good times," and the rest would nod, and then they'd go on staring at the fire. Boys are funny.

While we were gone, some people came through on Saturday to look at the house. We have a lock box on the front door, so realtors can show the house any time. At first it weirded me out knowing that people would be traipsing through the place whenever they wanted, but we got used to it, and now it's kind of nice to have the house spotlessly clean all the time.

So anyway, someone came through on Saturday, and TOOK A GIANT DUMP IN THE TOILET AND DIDN'T FLUSH. Yes, you read that right. Jason came home on Sunday night, lifted the toilet seat lid, and found a disgusting present waiting for him.

Who does this?? I'm still in total shock. My understanding of the general rules of house hunting is that one does not use the bathroom in a strange person's house. Of course, if you gotta go, you gotta go, so if there's an emergency, by all means, do the needful. But for God's sake, flush the fucking toilet. Seriously. Just flush. People amaze me, and not always in a good way.
