Save me while I die of embarrassment.

[Teenprobs]

Been away for a weekend. Got back late Sunday evening. Had a burglary while we were away so dealth with that all day monday and also, was unwell Monday from all the travelling, and then last night DP ended up in A and E with horrendous tooth pain, so my planned I must clean up day that was this morning, but i was awake literally the entire night so opted to sleep for the morning instead,

so british gas have turned up for their engineer appointment this pm despite cancelling it this morning. The house is a shit hole. I've washed up and Wipes sides but the cupboard of doom was full up and there's washing everywhere and theres crap from the car.

So I want to die of embarrassment. Tell me your stories.

The burglary was outside so can't even blame that lol... I did however leave my teen here.

When I was a student we had an intruder. The police thought the place had been turned over, we said no it hasn’t.

Your place doesn’t sound a all bad though.

They will have seen far far worse

You're a student it's expected lol.. he's still here. I'm just cringing wondering if he's taking photos of my unhoovered kitchen floor and knickers (probably) in a pile next to him. He's also turned off the electric so i can't even go and hoover

Doesn't sound too bad just a bit messier than usual!

There's a clear path for him to get to, although there's a massive mountain bike in the hallway that we got returned from the burglary that was chucked in the canal (we got everything back that was stolen but now too scared to have it on show until the shed is emptied of tip run stuff (when does it end?)

OP, I had a tv aerial repair chap come round. As I led him into the room with the tv in, to demonstrate the reception problem, I got a whiff of a terrible rotting smell.
I assumed it was him, but politely said nothing. He checked the tv, went outside to get on the roof, and I pointedly opened the window to air out the pong.
Anyway, he installed a new aerial and left, fairly hurriedly. To my surprise, “his” smell got stronger after he left.
You can guess where this is going - after pulling out the sofa, chairs and table, I finally located the decomposing mouse that my cat had deposited close to the warm radiator…
Mortified doesn’t begin to cut it!

Many years ago when I was single, a gas man showed up to read my meter the day after I'd had a party. I'd tidied and fairly adequately wiped around so that was all good. Not so good was when I opened to the door to my under-stairs cupboard and a random, unconscious man rolled out.

This is brilliant.

This has made me feel so much better. I thankfully emptied the shitty nappy smelling bin this morning. However it needs a clean from some stray leaky bin fluid so probably stinks!!!

This may just be the best thing I've ever read. Brilliant!

😂😂😂

He's asked to use the fucking toilet now.

Love this 🤣

A fucking toilet? Now that is a new one on me. Is it a special Mumsnet thing?

Are you going to accompany him or say you'd prefer to pay in cash?

Last year my friend had Virgin cable TV installed...when the installer came around he spent most of the 2 hour appointment telling my friend in great detail - along with photos - what a shit tip the house his previous appointment was.

So yeah, there's that.

Same
gas engineer turned up when we had cancelled appointment…to install a smart meter, found another problem with the box outside, over grown with weeds. Had a look at boiler in kitchen
place absolute shit tip…not hoarder style but I tend to do different coloured piles of washing in the kitchen floor when having a blitz/post lunch and making supper

garden in mid winter a disaster with a few bits of stuff piled up for tip…he wanted to see the flue and brambles had grown over it…cue an excruciating telling off (appreciate that it is extremely dangerous)… he wrote up his sheet and slammed out the front door…I was home alone and felt a bit worried he was going to come back and have another go at me 😵‍💫😵‍💫

That’s surely a good sign that he doesn’t think the house is that bad .

It wasn't embarrassing for me but many years ago my boyfriend at the time had turned up at my front door paralytic in the early hours of the morning as he'd thought he lost his house key. After shouting at him and telling him he needs to grow up I went back to bed, expecting him to follow and pass out in a heap on the bed. Woke up to knocking on the door and quickly rushed to put on my dressing gown and answer it. I did note that my boyfriend wasn't passed out next to me but in my tired state just assumed he'd got up and staggered home at some point.

The knock on the door was my friend/colleague who I'd agreed would pop over to drop of some stuff before she went away. Apologised for forgetting and bleary eyed led her to the living room for a quick cup of tea. As I noticed a trail of clothes it dawned on me what had happened but it was too late. We were in the living room and there was my passed out boyfriend completely naked on the sofa. I suppose the only saving grace was that he was sleeping face down so at least some of his dignity was kept in tact! Why he was naked I don't know but he explained that he thought he I was angry at him so took it upon himself to sleep on the sofa instead of the bed!

Love the comments keep them coming

We went on holiday a few years ago and left DS 19 home because he had to work.

We knew he was having a few ppl over.

We forgot to cancel the cleaners and they arrived very early the morning after the "gathering", took one look at the house and quit.

You're probably right, I did give it a swift wipe (house of 3 toilet using males!)

He said he's seen much worse. But also slightly paranoid that he's going to show them too hahaha he was very nice and a bit dishy! To make it worse. I on the other hand have morning breathe and bed hair where I'd been asleep for 3 hours (dp and me took turns sleeping)

Not really house related but I once went in to a hairdresser's to make an appointment for a student cut. When I got back to college a friend pointed out I had something in my hair. On closer inspection it appeared a pigeon had pooed on my head on the way there (I had felt something but it was raining so assumed it was water 😂). So the whole time I was making the appointment and chatting about what I wanted etc I was visibly decorated with a pile of poo 💩

Still went to the appointment. Had washed my hair by then 😂

This is me! Tumble dryer full of clean over spilling washing where I'd grabbed a towel to clean up the water where the baby was playing with the cat food. And about 8 piles of washing that were organised (but then squished together when the cupboard of doom was open and was radically emptied all over my kitchen x
