TIFU by letting a random person flush a toilet

As the headline says, I (39F) let a random person come inside an apartment where I'm watching a friend's cat for the weekend. They (30s male) said they were with maintenance here to check the toilet. It seemed odd, as my friend didn't mention anything and the toilet is working well. I told them the toilet was working fine, and they insisted in coming in to check it, saying they needed to make notes. I said ok, and watched them walk into the hallway, almost walk into the bedroom, what was clearly wrong and redirected them to the bathroom. They flushed the toilet, then said it seems fine and then the left.

I texted my friend to let them know what had happened, and they were told by management that there isn't any maintenance staff working today. Now I'm kind of freaking out. I've checked all the doors and windows to make sure they are locked. Had I been at my own place, I wouldn't have answered the door, as I know better.

TL;DR I blindly let some random person come into an apartment without verification of who they said they were and flush the toilet.

Another massive W for toilet flushing fetishists. Thank you for your service.

Nowadays, toilet flushing fetishes are really driving up the water bill!

I'd let the friend know. They mightve been scoping out the place for a robbery or something. They were probably hoping you wouldn't follow them down the hallway

Oops I read over it a couple times but I guess I missed that

Either scoping or placing a camera. The first is really common. OP is going to get robbed, and should file a report.

You have to check if he swapped the toilet for a toilet the exact same size as your friends except with a joke hole that's just for farts. Did he replace your friends real toilet with a fart toilet? Is this what happened to you?

maybe he flushed something down the toilet

That's possible, maybe he was trying to get rid of drugs or something and asking to check/use someone's toilet would be a good opportunity to quickly dispose of them in someone else's toilet rather than flushing them down his own 🤷‍♂️

.... this makes no sense, unless someone was in his bathroom, watching to make sure he didn't flush them. But if that was the case, why would they have let him leave the house?

And if he's being chased by the cops and entered the building. Dropping them almost anywhere would probably be enough, as long as the cops didn't see him drop them.

Well he could just have a toilet fetish and get a kick out of flushing a stranger's toilet. Just hypothesising here, guess we'll never know the true reason!

I would write a note that said "Cop notified, description given" and put in on the outside of the front door. In addition also block the door from being opened like with a fork and knife and for all that's holy CALL THE COPS.

Yes, call the cops and tell them someone flushed the toilet. I'm sure they'll open an investigation.

After you checked with your friend I hope you called the cops. Give description, probably some of the neighbours had the same experience, they should be asked and warned of this person. And if you had a glimpse of what he made notes of, you will be a great help.

Sounds like a scout for a robbery. I mean, why would he look at bedroom when he is there for the toilet. In most apartments/houses the bathroom door is different, so it sticks out when you first see it. No way he was just confused where he was going, especially if he is maintainence

The amount of people saying to notify the cops, where the f you live? Lol. Cops in America won’t give a rats over someone flushing a toilet. Need more funding for that type of care.

Could see it as filler content during a slow night of On Patrol Live. That show really opens the eyes to all of the stupid stuff that people call the police for.

He might be looking for opportunities to get at people's medications.

Hopefully your friend has cameras in the apartment and has captured video of this guy. I’m sure that she’ll see this incident as she’s reviewing the video, looking for your masturbation sessions

If she didn't have cameras in the apartment before, she might have a hidden one in the bathroom now.

He put a hidden camera in there. Check your vents and corners or any nooks or crannies that he could fit it in.

Someone probably complained about the massive shits you've been taking and clogging up the plumbing so he came and checked to see if you broke the toilet.
