AIBU to let the cleaners go after accidentally leaving out a sex toy?

[mortifiedforever]

Came home and caught a glimpse of it on the floor. It was half poking out under the bed. The cleaners have obviously vacuumed the room. Don't think there's anyway they won't have noticed it... I'm never going to be able to be in the same house as them again. So I'm going to have to call it quits aren't it?

Someone I know worked for a family and used to do some cleaning as part of the job, eg changing sheets. They found a sex toy on the bedroom floor under the bed and it was visibly not clean (not envy).

I’m agog about the potatoes - how what?

@Ragwort - I do wonder if it’s a generational thing.. in the nicest way possible as I don’t even know your age so not to be rude. But I feel like my age group seem to be a lot more open about sexuality and sexual encounters than people say 10, maybe 15 years+ older, not in a crass way but comfortable with completely normal aspects of sexuality.

For example I’m due my second baby any day and when’s talking to my friend about ways to get labour to kickstart she suggested getting the toys out and having an orgasm, as obviously that triggers uterine contractions, and apparently therefore labour.. it’s not a conversation I thought to bat an eyelid at.

That or myself and my friends are just way over-sharing! 😂

Cleaners walked in on me last week in just my underwear…

I was impressed by the ingenuity but wouldn't trust the integrity of cling film enough to risk losing one...

I'm sure they were just glad they were clean.

We have a couple of boxes full gathering dust under our bed. DH was adamant, despite my mutterings and eye-pointing, that my DM should help hold the mattress up so he could fit a bed guard. You could see everything between the slats and I'm just nattering away hoping she didn't look down and see!

They will have seen worse, plus they’re almost guaranteed not to mention it.

I also saw SILs collection of whips in their bathroom. I was quite proud of her actually! 🤣

Say nothing, imagine it never happened.

MN in the Olden Days would not have required the OP to keep telling everyone that her suggestion to sack the cleaners was lighthearted...

OP, if it makes you feel better, 30 years ago when DD was a toddler, I opened the door to sign for a parcel from the postman.
As I stood making polite conversation with him, I wondered why he appeared to be biting his lip trying not to laugh. Slightly flustered, I said goodbye, closed the door and turned round - to find DD standing there silently, holding my vibrator…

@Ragwort - Yep - Sounds like a sheltered life to me.

Don’t knock ‘til you try it! 😂

I'm only 30 I hope you're not thinking that's old

I'm quite happy to talk with my friends about sex and wouldn't care less knowing if they own a few toys or what not.
But a cleaner who I don't know too well, I've no idea of her relationship history etc I just find it uncomfortable she knows a little too much of my life ha!

I'm really not a prude either I promise! We have a lot more to be discovered than anal beads! Maybe I'm just embarrassed she knows a lot more about me than I wanted to share!!!

@Nothingfree

They will have seen worse, don't punish them for your embarrassment. Big girls pants on and grin and bare it.

Typo of the day for me - she did grin and bare it to use the toy I suppose

I'm going to have to explain aren't I.. STOP HERE IF SQUEAMISH OF PLAIN SPEAKING ABOUT SEXUAL PRACTICES..

Small potatoes employed in place of a 'marble-like' anal bead. One potato attached the the other by covering in cling film - twist, add another, twist, add another (get the picture. ? Once you have a nice long line.. push them up the bottom of your beloved and putt them out as they cum.. apparently tis the bees knees...

@secretsqizzle love where this thread has gone!

Oh I am googling anal beads now. It;s work safe right, considering I am on the office VPN?

Just leave it OP. They may have their own sex toys. All they care about is getting paid. They may have gone home to their spouse and had a chuckle over it but that’s all.

It is your home, ffs.

Just joking. I did google though, Heavens some of those fuckers are large.

I think you have to burn the house down now

I'm a cleaner, that wouldn't bother me at all. The only thing I'm disgusted by is the 30 odd year old man child living in his mums spare room that leaves crap on his toilet bowl EVERY week!

You are being ridiculous to even contemplate this.

They won't have given it a second thought.

How beadie are they? Could you style it out? Have them round your neck next time you see the cleaner? I'm sure I've seen Prue Leith wearing stuff like that on Bake Off!

Doubt if the cleaner cares.

I'm not going to google and obviously haven't bought any, but seriously, how much can they cost that someone would bother to make their own from potatoes?
