My mates Sister is getting her kitchen remodeled for the next few days and as such has asked to be accommodated till its finished.
She is a nurse and doesn’t want to try and sleep whilst all the clanging and banging is going on mid morning when it is her sleep time.
I have known these guys for heaps and naturally it is no problem.
(He has a new girl on the scene so he declined her first up so I’m the lucky one).
She is here for maybe three days max.
Now don’t get me wrong,there is nothing gonna happen here,we are friends,so there will be no horizontal folk dancing goin on.
It’s just a place to crash.

So just before I set off for work today she arrives with a couple of bags and I hand her the spare keys with the usual “just make yourself at home” type stuff.
No problem.
“Do you mind if I put some things in the bathroom”?
Of course not,just treat it as your own place.
Do you want dinner etc?
No I will be fine thanks.
Just do your thing and I will come home as normal and all will be cool.

Me arrives home.
She’s gone to work.

I have walked into the place as I do and,well something is different.
First thoughts…
That’s not my bathroom.

I will explain.

I’m single at present and I have a fully functional Male bathroom.
It consists of 1 X shampoo and conditioner bottle.(On floor of bathroom recess).
1 X shaver
1 X shaver brush
1 X comb
1 X toothpaste
1 X towel

End of section.

But now.

Talk about fucking renovation rescue.

( I am not complaining).

But.

The transformation is nothing short of stunning.

There are now five towels (neatly) hanging from various positions throughout.
Plus mine.
My window ledge has all these little bottles of essence all neatly arranged and there is a candle burning smack bang in the middle.
She has put creams and cleansers all over the vanity unit and there is at least three bottles (each) of hair shampoo and conditioner now gracing my shower.
Four brands of soap and two bubble bath bottles line the outskirts of my bathtub.
There is a foot long plastic whatsit with a scourer on one side and a brush thingy on the other hooked over the cold tap and a bottle of that shit that smells nice but feels like rubbing sand onto your skin hanging from the hot tap.

And to top it off,the piece ala resistance.

A fucking fluffy pink loofaa thingy hanging from the shower head.

The toilet seat is also in the downward position.

My one socket power outlet now has an extension too.
It has to accommodate an electric toothbrush,two fucking hair-dryers and a mobile phone charger.
These are glowing and illuminating by an extension cord that runs into the spare room where she is staying.
God only knows what is going on in there.
The bags she brought in today must have been mini Tardis things from Doctor Who as I’m fucked if I know how it all fitted in there.
She’s supposed to be out by Saturday.

This year.

Man,my ex wife was bad for this type of stuff and the last G/F had a candle fetish but sheesh.
Does anyone have a Lady like this?
Why and WTF?

Luckily, no.

For some reason my wife prefers to keep things in public view in the bathroom to a minimum and the rest stashed neatly away.

It's probably because it's a tiny bathroom though.....

Well hey, it wouldn't hurt you to get in touch with your feminine side

But seriously, it's not as if she removed all your shit and painted the walls pink. I mean, one time my GF stayed for the weekend and when I finally got to leave the bedroom to use the bathroom I swear I felt like I walked into an ad for The Body Shop and Bed Bathroom and Beyond. She stayed for THREE DAYS and brought just as much stuff as the woman in your place brought [minus the candle].

Though you should mention to her that that mobile phone charger being there is a bad idea, she wouldn't want her phone falling in water.

She won't be there long.....if she is a good housemate, she might even clean the pee stains and shower scum.

I loved reading this. It's exactly what my sister did to my bathroom when I stubbornly insisted that it stay nice, plain and manly. Now we have 3 different colors of towels, little stupid pictures hanging on the wall, little containers for tooth brushes and a king's choice of hair products. I refuse to conform, though. My side of the bathroom is still bacheloresque.

Jinya's bathroom is pretty manly. Maybe that's what I love about her.

This is a great story. I found it very interesting. I come from a very lazy and messy family. That's like a year's worth of housework right there.

You complain about all this stuff NOW...if she were staying just a little bit longer, who knows, you could find yourself taking a nice relaxing bath, enjoying the loofah.

Some women are just like this. Guys tend to use the bathroom as a place of function. They go in there, do their thang, and get the hell out. But some women use the bathroom as a place to get rid of stress, to just relax (hence the candle). It's definitely a little nuts that she went to all that effort for just a few days, and if she were staying longer and it was really getting in your way/bothering you, I'd recommend saying something, but in this case, it's just a few days - so just suck it up and maybe take a bubble bath.

FWIW, I'm a functional bathroom kinda guy, but occasionally, I'll break out the stereo, a few candles, a book and Mr. Bubble and just take a break from the usual stresses of the day.

perhaps i'm an odd female, along with tinfoil's wife. i seriously hate that stuff out in plain site when not being used & well, i only have maybe half that stuff to begin with. what i do have gets shoved under the vanity or in drawers.

whenever we have house guests tho, i always kinda have a quiet little personal freak out fest when i go into the hall bathroom & find their shit is all over the place & their <i>empty</i> luggage is sitting right there on the floor.

That's why when I bought a house I made sure the bathroom had two sinks -- one for her and one for myself. She could do whatever the hell she wanted to do on her side but my side of the Loo is my side of the Loo.....
