Things that make you go urgghh when visiting other peoples house...

[EvesMama]

my first must be..
there only being thier bath towels in bathroom, so when youve washed your hands after using the loo..you could be wiping them on front bum/back bum/willy parts!!!...bleeergh!

it obviously WAS

hula!! Gerrrrrossssss!

Tell me about it! I was very [shock} when I first started there. I am so glad we have a "no touch" policy so I don't ever have to shake hands. And they don't get to open doors, etc. so at least the handles are safe! I refuse to eat at their catering place now, after thinking too hard about it!

my best mate once shared a flat with a couple that left pubes literally everywhere in the flat, she once found some on a loaf of opened bread, turns out there was a little pile of pubes in the breadbin, i only visited once, best mate has since moved

I wont tolerate any sort of filth

no ,im serious

A little pile of pubes in the breadbin? How in the name of God was that achieved?

[vom emoticon]

Mind you, it is a blokes' prison isn't it? So the ladies' loos should be safe? (or do they have to clean them?)

greensleeves, your guess is as good as mine, we decided the couple had been up to no good on the counter where the bread bin was , oh she finds it funny now but was traumatised at the time!

Thank you Senorapostrophe.
I do normally come armed with cakes and wine, rather than mr muscle !!
I promise not to report back, if, god forbid, there was a crumb on your floor.

Well, I did go in one house - it wasn't a friend's but a relative of a friend and we went in to pick up something - and the guy had let his dog just crap anywhere and everywhere and some of it was old.

That sort of made me want to blow chunks.

same as Thomcat - i'm happy to be on the receiving end of someone's hospitality & not much like that bothers me anyway.

okay - let me just clarify - my post was NOT in response to expats!

Miau - the prinsers clean the ladies toilets in the education department. Wherever possible I use the toilets in Admin - they are safe

Hula,what do you teach or is it top secret??
Must be fascinating.

hula - can't say I blame you!!!

I hate it when the recycle bin is overflowing with beer and wine bottles
When the kitchen bin is filthy and overflowing
When a half eaten can of pet food has flies buzzing around it on the work surface next to the breadbin.....

Oh, hang on, must go and sort out my kitchen.

How the hell do you gals have any friends when you're so nasty about their houses?

Or do you just too chicken to tell 'em their house is boggin' to their faces?

I am staggered at how slatternly some people I really really like are.
Including my own flesh and blood.

expat, I do believe you are getting a Scottish accent my dear (boggin'?)

Moondog, uber-cleaning-meister, who would rather feed her children in the woods than have to wipe up crumbs off the table.......

i wish i had time to hoover between my carpet and skirting board

I now have lovely new deck so they don't have to venture quite as far from home for their meals.

just skimming through this thread to remind myself of all my domestic deficiencies but

Essbee do you really change your hand towels every day????

Crikey! I feel more than inadequate now.
