Now public loos are a different matter. I think I might actually have a proper phobia there...

Crackle · 30/06/2006 20:54

Other people's kitchen bin-lids fascinate me.

TooTicky · 30/06/2006 20:54

This thread is confirming my worst paranoias. I will continue to be anti-social and avoid visitors.

Gobbledigook · 30/06/2006 20:56

Anything animal related because I'm not a pet lover and just don't get why you'd want a smelly mutt or annoying cat in your house. I hate seeing their food out in teh kitchen or their beds or litter trays.

o O Greensleeves is on form again.

Right there Meggle. My mum had a friend who used to chase her dh round the room hoovering up his every skin cell. He left her for a 21 year old slattern. Her house was painfully clean and she always went on and on about the slightest untidiness.

Miaou · 30/06/2006 20:57

thanks marina!!

One day I shall descend on you ... You Have Been Warned ...

I don't need to visit next doors house to go Urgh. The smell when they have their back or front door open and we have ours open, is awful, really disgusting.

SenoraPostrophe · 30/06/2006 21:02

OK OK, so is a white bath towel and no hand towel acceptable?

Oblomov · 30/06/2006 21:04

God, I never realised that people noticed these things.
Fortunately, I have none of the bleuuugggggh things mentioned...
But, I just never realised.
Like Thomcat, I am more than grateful to be invited anywhere.

jampots · 30/06/2006 21:05

I only put clean bath towels in the bathroom. When one of us has used it it goes in the wash. Hand towels are changed daily or more often if someone wipes their arse on it

jampots · 30/06/2006 21:05

obviously the last bit is a joke

jampots · 30/06/2006 21:06

my hates are:

blood/hair/shit stains in/on the toilet
dried stains on kitchen worksurfaces
dirty sink
tv on

Greensleeves · 30/06/2006 21:11

Blood stains? This is all going a bit Lady MacBeth here folks.....

Oblomov · 30/06/2006 21:12

Christ, what sort of friends do you guys have ?
They sound minging !!
Maybe next time you go , instead of a bottle of wine you could take some flash , or something ?

Greensleeves · 30/06/2006 21:14

I know people who carry alcohol gel around for this sort of situation you know...

SoupDragon · 30/06/2006 21:15

When they have photos of ugly children up. FFS why don't they just cut a picture of a model out of a magazine?

SenoraPostrophe · 30/06/2006 21:15

jampots do you never have shit stains on your toilet then? or dried stains on work surfaces? where did you send your children?

moondog · 30/06/2006 21:16

old tea bags staining 80s style melamime double sinks

SenoraPostrophe · 30/06/2006 21:16

thomact and oblomov can come to my house any day.

CountessDracula · 30/06/2006 21:17

Oh soupy I know

My dad had some pictures of a right minger of a kid on his fridge (some relative or other, ages ago) I took them down and replaced them (they were in little magnetic frames) with pictures of irons and toasters from the Argos catalogue

he didn't even notice for about a month

SoupDragon · 30/06/2006 21:19

Was it a photo of you, CD?

Chortle

CountessDracula · 30/06/2006 21:20

sod off you scaley old minger

hulababy · 30/06/2006 21:24

I carry that alcohol gel round with me. To be fair, i don't use it at friend's houses - I use it after being in public toilets and at work (those prisoners walk round with their hands down their pants the whole time - yuck!)
