The annual fear of the Christmas Yule log

We go to PILs at Christmas who are wonderful hosts and nice people but I’m so tired of there constantly being poo marks in their toilet. FIL doesn’t lift a finger in the house and certainly wouldn’t clean the bowl after he’s been. MIL is relatively house proud, but I have been into the bathroom after she has cleaned and there is blue bleach in the toilet, under which you can still see skid marks (aka not cleaning them off).

I am far from the most prim proper queen of clean but I do object to going for a wee and having to do it on top of someone else’s poo remnants. Obviously you can’t do anything in a public loo but in someone’s house, yours or someone else’s, I think you should not leave skid marks.

DH wants to stay the night there. They live about an hour away so we could stay the night or drive home. I’ll already have to go a few times to the loo during the day for a wee, but if we stay all day and all night and the next morning there’ll be even more toilet visits. And the distinct possibility of having to face a fresh round of stains from FIL that no one will clean up.

Sober and drive and as few wees as I can (YANBU) or a few drinks and an overnight stay and suffer the stains (YABU)?

Are you a Christmas poo troll? 🧌 💩

MisterHanky · 24/12/2025 19:17

Dunno what that is but does starting a conversation about it make one so?

No idea, depends if you are a poo troll or not. Either way YABU

It’s not nice but it won’t kill you. Hold your nose and get on with it for one night. You can drop a layer of loo roll on top of the skids before seating yourself if that helps.

The skid marks might be visually displeasing but they won't contaminate your arse.

Avert your gaze

Ok. Suck it up. Not literally.

They aren’t going to reach up out of the bowl and grab you OP.

just don’t look

Give the FIL a loo brush as a Christmas present?

Just organic living. All the rage now.

I thought I was joining a thread about how quickly a Yule log could be eaten before it goes stale… clearly not

love a Yule Log (don’t like Christmas cake) so was a bit disappointed it was about a toilet log!!!
