[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL insisted on feeding my dog "people food" even after we told her repeatedly that it makes him sick, so she did it when I wasn't looking.  It was a holiday dinner with lots of rich food.  We also told her the dog isn't allowed on any floor other than the ground floor, where he has a nice, huge, comfy dog bed. The reason is that the other floors have wall to wall carpet and for some reason he associates the carpeting with being outside and always, ALWAYS, pees on it. So we don't let him upstairs or in the basement. Well, in the middle of the night she decides she's lonely and gets the dog to come into the guest room (in the basement) and sleep with her. Well sure enough in the middle of the night the dog got sick, both threw up and diarrhea, everywhere. So instead of getting us, she grabs a bunch of paper towels, picks up the mess with it, puts it in the toilet, and tries to flush it all at once (not flush as you go), which clogs the toilet and causes it to overflow with the water, dog vomit, dog diarheea and the paper towels everywhere. So then she tries to clean that up with our towels.  And then she tries to clean the carpet with bleach. Which results in a broken toilet and ruined wall to wall carpet.  She finally woke us up to tell us what she had done and ask for help. It cost me $500 to snake the line and fix the toilet. And it cost $3500 to have the wall to wall carpet replaced. It cost $500 to replace the towels.  And it cost another $500 to take the dog to the vet and his medicine. And my MIL yelled at me because she said she didn't know how to clean wall to wall carpet and I should have told her if she was going to be sleep in the guest suite, and I should have told her all along paper towels can't be flushed down the toilet.

I am still dumbfounded by that evening (was a few years ago) and what happened. It was a  cluster fuck of fuck ups.  And I have a relatively good relationship with my MIL, still do, but this is still a sore subject for me.[/quote]

Ok, this is not petty! What a disaster! Does she still stay with you? And off topic, how did the towels cost $500?[/quote]

Because she used every single one in the linen closet, including hand towels, beach towels and wash clothes.  It was over 25+ towels, all had to be thrown away.[/quote]
