To expect people NOT to rearrange my magazines?

[Guineveresmummy]

We have some friends staying at the moment. I don't know who did it, but I have two magazine racks in my bathroom. One is for my home and garden magazines, the other is for all other magazines.
SOMEONE has been in there and obviously had a little read and now they are all mixed up.
I feel a little upset as they were all in order of issue, so now I have to sort them all out.

Do you know that their BARE BOTTOMS go on your loo seat?

If they're reading magazines in there, probably for quite a long time.

check the curtains for traces of penisy hands

I'm not ignoring it TA, just a little upset and confused. I am taking on board everyones opinions.

MrsJC - Surely they would keep their pants on when visiting other people's loos.

Your post is quite shocking, I almost had to report it.

Franny

gosh there are some rude people on here today.

I wonder if the OP has checked for poo crumbs yet?

Perhaps they felt so at home reading my magazines they thought it wouldn't really matter. Shame, they're good people normally.
I have noticed that they don't make their beds either, so perhaps that's just the way they are, a bit slovenly.

Put them out of their misery. It's the only way. Get a gun.

Mind you, is it hygenic having magazine in the bathroom? Never mind penisy hands, what about pooey ones? Yuck.

PS If someone tidied my house whilst waiting in for a parcel I would return the favour by making a shite hole of their place waiting for one of their deliveries.

"they're good people normally"

lmao

IANH, I will be thoroughly cleaning the bathroom after they've gone. I do have a guest bathroom, but as they are such old friends I didn't think they would do anything really bad. I do leave seat wipes on a shelf in the bathroom, but I suppose they haven't bothered to use them either. sigh

They did put them back where they found them ... in the magazine racks.

It's not their fault you are an anally-retentive control freak.

You can't expect people to abide by the rules if you don't tell them what the rules are ... stick some signs up in their room like they have in hotels. Next time maybe they will prefer to stay in a hotel, where the rules are less stifling.

I have a friend who did this deliberately to wind her OCD SIL up. And it did- the SIL couldn't wait for her to go just so she could sort her mags into aplhabetical order again.
But this is a troll - are you that bored???! Trolls are REALLY sad. Find something useful to do.

Agree with Gateau. GM, if I knew you were like this OCD-like, I would deliberately wind you up, eg by subtly re-arranging your cutlery drawer or ... CD collection.

are you lot being deliberately thick today?

Magazines in bathrooms! (Sighs,) if only I had time to read magazines at all!

Can you put up a little sign in the bathroom saying "Please don't touch the magazines"? This will avoid the unpleasantness of sitting them down and getting to the bottom of who did it.

If they ignore the sign then feel free to shoot the feckers.

agree with little lapin. not a bad wind-up, but pink wedding much better. next!

I think I preferred the style of this one. I liked the gradual build-up of the slagging off of the guests and the snatches of OP's OCD world.

Nicely done!

I hope you have laminated your magazines, for ease of cleaning with anti-bacterial wipes?

Your friends sound very uncouth-fancy USING your lavatory, let alone reading YOUR magazines whilst on it. You really should get a better quality of friend.

Your friends have just proved what great friends they really are, by giving you an opportunity to do something you obviously love doing, i.e. obsessively organising stuff that doesn't matter. Maybe if you're really lucky they will have disturbed all your colour-coded tea towels as well.

I haven't said anything. They have been to the toilet a few times, but I have put all the magazines in my room to sort out later, so they might be wondering why. I'm hoping they will ask and then I can just mention my system without sounding petty.

This thread is soooo boring. What a REAL wind-up - really got me going - not.

oh yes do tell them your petty wishes sure they will follow them.when they stop laughing

GM - surely you have more pressing concerns than your magazines being in issue order? Chillax girl!
