to be absolutley grossed out by suspected 'pooh crumbs' in our bed fom when we had people staying over??

[Lowfat]

Honestly, I feel sick - I want to burn the sheets, the mattress, the bed and bleach the whole room.

IL's were staying they had our bed. We have just gone to change sheets with DH and found little tiny brown balls of ????? in the bottom area of the bed side whe FIL slept.

DH gathered the sheets around them when he saw them to prevent them from spilling and they are currently waiting to go in the machine.

The sheets will be washed entirely on thier own on a hot wash - at the risk of perishing the elastic, I would throw them away but we only have 2 bedding sets and can't really afford to buy a new one at the moment

IL's are not old or infirm, but FIL had a rotten stomach when he was here (or maybe it was normal but not a 'man smell' I am used to) but he stunk out the bathroom whenever he used it and then entire top floor when getting up and going to bed.

This is the first time they have stayed over with us in over 2 years and while I want to encourage interaction with our DC's I am not prepared to have my house made in to a smelly sh*t hole!

This is not a joke post BTW

What were the dimensions of the crumbs?

whinnets! That's a word I have not heard for a long time.

Are you sure they wern't there before FIL came to stay? Which side do you sleep on?

meant 'weren't' obviously!

its no good asking for the dimensions of the crumbs... I never got my sweetcorn question from last night answered. How the hell are we supposed to make any judgement if vital questions like contents and dimensions are not answered eh?

I used to know someone who had a FIL who would squat on the loo (not sit) and therefore had a 50% chance of shitting not actually into the toilet bowl. He would then leave it there because it wasn't his job to pick up shit, it was that of the woman of the house. (I harbour a secret suspicion that male dog-owners have the same sentiment, but I won't go off on a tangent just now.) (But have you ever seen a male dog owner carrying a shit-bag?)

So really, you've got off lightly in a sense. Depending on whether you're a glass half full or a glass half empty sort of person. If you're a glass half empty, you'd aspire to someone who does normal sized, shaped and smelling poos in the conventional venue, whereas if you're a glass half full, you're just glad he didn't poo in your underwear drawer.

Sure they weren't remnants of a packet of chocolate biscuits?

Poo crumbs? Are you sure? Did you actually smell them?

I didn't know such things existed. I mean how?

Maybe they'd been eating chocolate brownies in bed.

YABU and ridiculously over sensitive.

Boil wash the bloody sheets woman

Why did you inspect them in the first place?

Shake the poo crumbs out first before washing.. you don't want em swilling around in the machine filter [urgh]

NO, Lowfat you have GOT to tell us his other disgusting habits, please.

So what if the FIL lovers think we are FIL bashing, sod that, we want the dirt on this dirty bugger!!

ROFL!

Why are the crumbs waiting to go in the washing machine - why not tip them down the toilet?

omg, poor you. i personally would throw the sheets and wash and dry the others in a day till you can afford new.
my mum stayed, put her in spare bedroom at front of house. came home and she had washed her huge knickers out and hung them on the arm of the window!

PMSL!!!

I have dealt with many a skid mark but never a poo crumb ... reminds me of the old Trekkie joke about Captain Kirk having trouble with his Klingons ...

Am I the only person who has never seen poo crumbs?

How are they created?

lynette, he obviously got wet shite all over his hands, rubbed his hands together and the resulting dried crumbs fell onto the bed, or he had shite all over his legs or bum, and the friction from rubbing on sheets creates crumbs.

I used to work with oldiues and the horror stories from shit play would make you heave. I am not sure why, but some old people do not have the disgust towards faecal matter that we have. Unless you have a poo fetish.

my mate had a mate flat sit fo rher and came homne to find a small butternut squash in her bed

'I honestly woudln't even notice a man picking his nails with his keys. And to assert that he's 'dropping the contents on the floor'. PMSL!

Sorry Lowfat but it has to be said. You are being anal, intolerant and unfriendly to your childrens grandfather. Try seeing the good in him. It'll be nicer for all concerned. '

Agree to disagree, Spider. Because I just don't see how ANYONE couldn't fail to notice a person picking their nails with a key and then putting it on the floor and other mankiness like that.

Not to mention the other stuff.

Barf and I don't see anything unfriendly about wanting some basic personal hygiene in your own home.

but Lowfat, as you know how manky he was, why have had them in your house?

i'd have saved up and flogged stuff just to put them up in a hotel, tbh.

ooooh gross. I think that is yuk. I think he would have noticed the pooh crumbs ? Every time my PIL come to stay they leave their sheets with evident sex stains IFYWIM.Good for them that they have such fun in their dotage but it has happened so many times they must have seen the stains. They also leave the curtains closed, bed unamade, wet towels on floor etc etc.I think it is bloody rude to expect me to clear up after them when I have 2 toddlers to clear up after as well.Poor you lowfat !

ew mousemole why do you put up with that

I'm not sure. I think I just have to because they are my IL's. They come once every 6 weeks as well which is fairly frequently. I only mentioned it to DH about 3 months ago ( after 10 years of them being my IL's) as didn't want him to be embarassed/ashamed by his parents but last stay it just got to me and I flipped. DH is not prepared to say anything to his parents which I suppose I can understand. How would the conversation go ' hi, hope you are Ok. Do you mind stopping shagging and leaving dodgy stains on our sheets when you next stay' ?!!!

re you looking for trouble? I would never examine bedsheets of any housegust. Bad form, very bad form. Allow them their dignity although agree slobby behaviour unacceptable.
