Hosted Work Cook Out

I’d say and that is why it’s locked.

The OP even says today (Friday) in her post. This was posted to DCUM on a Monday. Maybe, because of time zones, it might be Tuesday or Sunday in some other part of the world, but no way was it Friday, anywhere in the world.

OMG there is literally nothing worse than random party guests who wander into private bathrooms to take a dump (or to look for meds). If you are my BFF or my sister, sure, head into the bedroom and bathroom, but if you have never been to my house, the powder room is all you get.

You must not know anyone who works for the federal government where there's no budget for a party space and people want to get away from the conference room.

I'd tell her she can choose to keep all the rooms in her home unlocked when she hosts next year.

I would have just responded that the other bathroom was closed because the other two were available for guest usage & you assumed that those two bathrooms were enough.

That is rude of her to say her grandson didn’t “want to” use the other bathrooms mentioned.

It isn’t even his house! 🙄

This was after a group outing that was near my house and at the request of my manager. Families were invited and many came.

Today (Friday) one of the women 'complained' to me that our master bedroom (and bath) was locked. She said her 15yo grandson wandered upstairs to use a bath and found our room locked. I asked her why he didn't just use the half bath on the main floor or the kids hall bath upstairs and she said 'he didn't want too'.

I had locked our room because of guns and valuables, not that that is her business, but I'm betting the kid was looking for stuff to steal.

How would you respond?


“I locked it because I didn’t want anyone in my room.”


This. End of story. It was rude for him to check around. It was rude for her to bring it up. This was not a party for friends. Strangers were in your house.

Tell me you don't know any black people without telling me you don't know any black people.

Sounds like the conversation is over, I would not entertain the discussion further.

"That's too bad that he felt that way. Hopefully you both had a nice time at the cookout overall. Talk to you later."

I wouldn’t respond at all.
