That's just gross.

NP who also wrecked her feet as a dancer. I have the worst cracked heels ever. Within days of getting a pedicure, the skin is all dry and cracked, with deep cracks the bleed. It looks terrible, but I would need a pedicure every day to even remotely deal with it, many times there’s still rough cracked skin even after a pedicure. I’ve tried every cream, doing a pumice stone daily in the shower, nothing helps.

My mom was also a dancer. Emu oil lotion is the absolute best-https://www.tofttouchsoaps.com/store/p113/Winter_Survival_Kit.html#/

My in laws (parents, and siblings) are all wacky with their towels. Like they use them once, and then throw them on the floor. It's my MIL's job, I guess, to gather them up at some point in the day, and wash them and replace them. If you get to the shower late, sometimes all that is left is the pile of wet towels on the floor. It is really weird and wasteful to me (and gross when I have to dry off with a towel off the floor).

My mom likes to reuse tea bags. Like the same one all day. So she'll make a cup of tea, and then save the bag (sometimes in a small bowl, but sometimes on a paper towel). Except then she forgets, and does it with another one. By the end of the day, there are disgusting old tea bags, soaked through paper towels, and empty cups EVERYWHERE. She is also always flossing her teeth for some reason, and I constantly find used floss.

But, I love her a ton, so I can get past this. My poor husband, however...

I know! Well, now I want to report that I have a no shoe house but it’s on a voluntary basis. Meaning guests don’t have to comply.

Also, I keep lots of toilet paper in the bathrooms along with a plunger & a plastic knife.

Plastic knife?!?!?

You have not been around DCUM long enough...

Someone please explain. What’s the knife for? Are people eating while pooping?

Oh my GOD had a guest do this once, this moron came in with a fast food bag and headed into the bathroom. They came out twenty minutes later, empty fast food bag, and left behind an odor that could have peeled paint off the walls. I was LIVID, told my then H that either his idiot friend left the next day or I left.

Did he use only a square or two? Or a knife?

Idk about tp but they probably used a knife whilst eating their stupid Whopper

Yep.

Aren’t floors for walking on?

I’m so glad all my friends are more concerned with the comfort of their guests than the cleanliness of their freakin FLOORS. (And spare me the allergy bit, please.)

My grandmother uses an INSANE amount of toilet paper. We are talking 2, sometimes 3 rolls a day. More than once, she's pillaged rolls from other bathrooms in the house and left poor soul screaming down the stairs praying to be heard. No one is sure why she uses so much. A few years ago my mom tried to casually bring it up, grandma FLIPPED. Now she brings a big ass suitcase with 12 rolls of TP when she visits them.

Just put "plastic knife" into the DCUM search. Then hang on for dear life, because it gets WILD.

I am also newish to DCUM and while I can imagine what it would be used for, there are way too many posts containing "plastic knife" like 20 pages... and weirdly many of those also reference "burgundy washcloths"...

For me it's the respectful thing to do.

Why? I can't remember the last house I was in where that was a rule and I have been in a bunch of homes. I don't stomp around in mud or dance in dog shit. I wipe my feet before entering. Why do you presume I need to remove my shoes?

When shoes get removed coming into my house, they become property of my dog.

She have a rule: wash your hands when you come into the house. No exceptions. It has been strictly enforced ( my mom) watches during flu season.
