He's wipped his shit on my towels!!!

Friend has decided to come to stay with her boyfriend this weekend.

Said boyfriend had a shower this morning, and obviously decided to wipe his arse on my towels. There is shit on one of them- sorry if TMI, but it's like skids, not chunks so I think it's just arse-drying-and-realising-your-arse-is-still-shitty iykwim.

Regardless, it's fucking disgusting and they were a birthday present- cost a small fortune from the white company.

AIBU to go out tomorrow and buy another and give him the bill???

I haven't confronted- but I made a point of putting the towels in the wash as we sat down for dinner earlier and he didn't even look embarrassed.

If my OH is happy enough to have his face embedded in that general area many nights a week I hardly see how using a towel is unhygienic.

DocHollywood · 14/08/2015 23:13

I can't say I've ever had a problem. I don't dry between my toes either, devil that I am.

VulcanWoman · 14/08/2015 23:13

Towel flossing sounds like an accident waiting to happen, if you did that too fast it could cause towel burn. Shock

BigRedBall · 14/08/2015 23:14

RIGHT IM PUTTING MY FOOT DOWN.

How dare you blame his dirtiness on piles! I've had piles for the best part of 3 years now. Yes I get how you need a special wiping technique. I've never left skid marks on towels though. Just don't make this about people with piles.

The man is dirty, nothing else. Imagine sex with a man with a shitty butt. I'm sickened.

SurlyCue · 14/08/2015 23:15

Stop bragging four! Some of us dont have happy-to-be-there OHs Sad

Sallystyle · 14/08/2015 23:16

I am not blaming his piles, it is just one explanation about why it may have happened.

I am glad for you that you have never left skid marks on your towels, I haven't either, but I wouldn't judge someone who accidentally did.

He could just be a dirty arsehole (pun intended) but maybe it was just an accident.

You could be civilised and wash them

I do, after every use.

"No matter how well you wash the crack of the arse will never be bacteria free."

While I have no wish to cause you sleepless nights, the same is true for the rest of your skin; each of us has our own unique population of bacteria residing on us. In a good way!

SurlyCue · 14/08/2015 23:19

I think you'll find it was a suggestion. No-one here is his arse so we cant know. (Even you cant know that he is just dirty, nor can you know how other people's piles affect them) We can speculate however.

Binit · 14/08/2015 23:20

Haven't read whole thread but hot wash, antibac laundry cleanser if you must, but not necessary.

I do think the man in question has bad manners. Even if you think your arse is spotlessly clean, I can't imagine ever sticking someone else's white towel up my arse crack like a piece of dental floss. Ever. For any reason.

But some people are like small children and just carry on as though mummy will sort their mess/dirty deeds.

SurlyCue · 14/08/2015 23:21

"You could be civilised and wash them

So why the issue with bacteria on your towel? It is going straight in the wash.

LavenderLeigh · 14/08/2015 23:23

I would blame somebody who wiped his shitty bum on my towels.
Because it's disgusting
And not the sort of thing you can do and then not notice the evidence!
Who else could you possibly blame except the shitty bummed one who couldn't be arsed to wash his own crap off his arse in the shower or off the towel?
It is never acceptable for adults to use towels like toilet paper and then just leave it to dry on with the expectation that someone else will wash it for them. It isn't something anyone should need to be told because it is blindingly obvious that hosts do not expect to have to clean up their guests shit.

I'm aware of that, however the bacteria on the skin is less likely to be e-coli. It's simple common sense to wipe with bog roll and dispose after a shower and keep the towels for skin only. Why soil the towels unnecessarily?

mathanxiety · 14/08/2015 23:27

'You could be a complete doormat and wash them', more like.

NigellaFlawsome · 14/08/2015 23:30

Could someone please link me to the bum sex thread?

For a friend, obviously.

TheCatsFlaps · 14/08/2015 23:30

Apparently, it's not a male-only problem.

I have never laughed so much at a thread. I feel physically sick with laughing, pack it in. you're all nutters, this will be in the Daily Mail next week, they love a good MN thread.

scarletforya · 14/08/2015 23:32

So? I still don't fancy sticking it up my ass. You seem weirdly fixated on this.

amazingtracy · 14/08/2015 23:33

You obviously didn't provide a toothbrush ........awful hosting imo

Whatthefucknameisntalreadytake · 14/08/2015 23:39

I got a towel for my birthday! I requested it, it is the most beautiful towel in the world and I had been covetting it for many months but it was too obscenely expensive for me to buy myself. My beautiful towel makes me very happy. But I still wouldn't say anything if a guest accidently got poo on it. I would be sad inside though.*

*disclaimer - hypothetical, as I am never letting a guest use this towel.

BigRedBall · 14/08/2015 23:41

Surely skid marks on a towel is enough proof that he's dirty! People with piles know they need to wipe appropriately. And no sane person with piles would even dream of flossing their arse with a towel...that's just asking for trouble!

SurlyCue · 14/08/2015 23:43

I still don't fancy sticking it up my ass. umm, not sure what youve been told about ass drying but thts not how its done.

DocHollywood · 14/08/2015 23:44

I truly believe he thought the label on the towel said Shite Company and acted accordingly.

SurlyCue · 14/08/2015 23:45

whatthefuck you have to show us the towel.

CheeseToastie123 · 14/08/2015 23:52

I don't have piles, never have. However, I do suffer from bowel issues that can leave me bleeding freely, and wiping can make me weep, even with moist toilet wipes. I'm not aware of ever leaving skid marks, I am paranoid about it. But to avoid it, I have caused bleeding, sores and blood stains. This thread has been very funny in places, but also made me realise that I'd be judged as dirty by a lot of people commenting. The very worry that makes me scrub harder, bleed more, and then potentially stain towels with streaks that will dry brown, and no doubt be judged as shit. Hurrah for that.
