To mention this horrendous embarrassment to my friend??

I live alone and have an ensuite that I use and a (always sparkling clean) loo for guests.

I was taken down by a bout of dodgy stomach after my work Christmas party a couple of nights ago.

I'd cleaned the parts of the (ensuite!) loo I could see, but hadn't lifted the seat up for proper good scrub yet (no excuses really. I'd been ill and then had to go straight back to work).

A friend popped over unexpectedly. I went into my bedroom to find something to show him.

While I was in there, he waltzed in, despite the closed door (this is fairly normal, social cues aren't his field of expertise). This isn't as horrifying as it sounds as we're really close but I hadn't expected anyone to come over, let alone to my ensuite!

He then, shock horror, proceeds to use my not yet scrubbed ensuite.

I did ask him to please use the guest loo, but he'd already lifted the seat at this point.

Once he'd left, I had a check and my worst fears were confirmed, the underside of the seat was horrifying.

I am so beyond mortified. No one ever uses that loo except me and I usually keep everything super clean.

There's no way he didn't spot how gross it was. What do I do now!?!! Do I mention it or pretend it didn't happen???

(And yes, it's odd my friend walked into my room unexpectedly. He's a bit of an odd ball but we're close enough that it's usually ok).

Vomit or poo?

Dacadactyl · 23/12/2023 18:05

If vomit I'd mention it, if poo I'd pretend it didn't happen.

Men generally wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary. The toilet has to be outrageously filthy like the one Ewan McGregor climbs into in Trainspotting for a man to think anything is amiss.

How can you be so embarrassed when you’re clearly so close? Surely he knows how clean you usually are and this was a one off. Doubt he even noticed.

RoastyToastyBaps · 23/12/2023 18:11

I wouldn’t say anything. I think you’ll be putting a lot more thought into this than he did. He’ll use it again when it’s clean.

Avacardo2023 · 23/12/2023 18:11

It's his fault for waltzing in and using the wrong toilet. He probably didn't notice the mess anyway. I hate it when men use household toilets as if they are urinals. Men shouldn't stand up to pee at home, and definitely not in other peoples houses.

Say nothing. Move on with your life.

Men don't care about this stuff, they really don't. Male standards are shocking. I really wouldn't worry about it.

If it was a close mate of mine, I’d say “apologies for the state of the loo, I had an explosive a**e situation and hadn’t cleaned it properly yet.”

My close friends wouldn’t bat an eyelid!

Oh look. Yet another thread about a woman being embarrassed by bodily functions and anxious about a man humiliating her.

It's almost like there's a man with a weird kink going to great lengths to post earnest and detailed stories about these events.

Genuinely neither a man nor a person with a kink. Not entirely sure how I prove that via an anonymous internet forum but I suppose it doesn't matter!
