Staying with a friend.

I can't even.

Do I fix it?

Do I tell them how wrong this is?

Do I end the friendship?

If DP did this I'd obviously LTB.

Unless... am I wrong? Have I been doing this wrong all my life?

SEND HELP.

(Lighthearted, obvs)

@MarianaMoatedGrange

Oh. My. Bog! I've been a cup rimmer's beard!

You're an enabler Marianer, this is codependent behaviour. It's toxic.

It's definitely the wrong way because, when you hang your loo roll you want the picture facing out, not towards the wall.

All this fuss over nothing. I just stick mine over the toilet brush handle.

suki32 · 29/07/2019 11:57

My MIL does this (in her own house). I never considered myself to have one of those MILs and genuinely love the woman but now I'm not so sure.

Wombleish · 29/07/2019 11:58

OMFG! My DH also rims glasses and cups! Perhaps I should LTB after all Shock

Wombleish · 29/07/2019 12:00

CurlyGirl, PIL are otherwise normal, so I have (almost) got over it.

Wombleish · 29/07/2019 12:00

Plus, no DC.

MarianaMoatedGrange · 29/07/2019 12:01

I.....I...... need help. It's been two years. I've put the cups and glasses the right way up when I've visited. Didn't want to address the rimming face to face, tried to put it out of my mind, as his looroll was correctly placed. I now see his toilet etiquette was just a way of placating any latent fears I may have had.

Sneaky bastard.

Utter FILTH.

@Wombleish We should start a RimWidow's thread. There may be more us out there.

PixieLumos · 29/07/2019 12:06

We don’t even have a toilet role holder Blush is that better or worse?

MarianaMoatedGrange · 29/07/2019 12:07

*of us. Sorry.....I'm still in shock.

Utter FILTH.

you know it was bad enough, @MarianaMoatedGrange that the first poster wrote that first but but you went and repeated it

going for a lie-down in a darkened room.

BustedDreams · 29/07/2019 12:07

I’ve snapped and farted at such a sight!!!! Grin

Jeremybearimybaby · 29/07/2019 12:10

@ThatCurlyGirl Have you considered murder? I think it would be the kind thing to do...

Jeremybearimybaby · 29/07/2019 12:12

@MarianaMoatedGrange It's ok, we're going to help you! Now, have you got your ducks in a (non rimmed) row?

@MarianaMoatedGrange WomenAgainstRimmage!

TixieLix · 29/07/2019 12:17

If 'under' was the right way, then these contraptions wouldn't make sense.

You should replace it OP, and do a 'hotel fold' for good measure!

Do you think I could get a wax seal at short notice on Etsy or EBay? Maybe this is my calling.

Let your creative juices flow with a bit of folding @ThatCurlyGirl Grin

Jeremybearimybaby · 29/07/2019 12:25

Back to you though OP - are you a good house guest?
Have you insisted on going everywhere with your host? Ousted them from their bed? Not cooked a singe meal? Cadged lifts everywhere? Just turned up, without notice, and with no gift? If not, you should be ashamed of yourself!!

ThatCurlyGirl · 29/07/2019 12:25

@TixieLix

I think I just had a foldgasm.

@ThatCurlyGirl

Thank you for your support. I feel dirty and not in a good way.

@Brefugee You are correct. I apologise for my crass lack of taste in repeating the offending sentence "All this fuss over nothing. I just stick mine over the toilet brush handle

I shouldn't have done that.

OOPS!

@Wombleish

Right on, sister! it's time to declare WAR!

Rim side down is correct, to stop airborne particles contaminating the inside of the cup. Shower of dirty bastards...
