But wait! There's more!
Hot Toddy. Love him. Love the fact that on a daily basis he doesn't even notice if the house is a mess. However, when we are trying to sell the place, this is a downfall.
For instance, how 'bout the day he decided to shave that beard, using the mirror in the shower, and then forgot to clean up. When I got home I saw the telltale signs people had been here.
Oh...they looked in the shower, the curtain is pulled back.
Oh....no!
Cleaning up after my own family is one thing, but it gets worse.
For some reason, people are really into using our toilets. Our bathrooms are nothing special. No mood lighting. No fancy bidets with water jetting up to clean the hoo-ha. I don't get the fascination. And yes, I know they are actually using them, rather than just checking them out. They've left...remnants.
I've had to clean those up too.
All I know is...sold or not, in 12 days I will wake up. When I open my eyes I will be in Ohio. This part will be over.
In the meantime I'm thinking of putting a sign on all the toilets.
"You Use It, You Buy It."

Ewwww. Gross. Yuck. Not even if I was doubled over in cramps would I ever . . .
You need to get the little paper banners that hotels use and write your message on them.
Twelve days? Wow - that's coming fast!
I'm gonna pass this along to my friend who's a real estate agent. It's perfect ! And how about the tourists who leave all your lights on ? Or the back door unlocked ? Or they screw up your thermostat settings ? You have my sympathy, as well as empathy : *twice* I had to sell houses while I was living somewhere else. As much as I hate to say it, you'd better gird your collective loins for a good bit of teeth-gnashing to come. But here's the good news : once it's done, it's OVER. Keep the faith. Clarissa
You could always take the toilet paper out of the bathrooms - that has worked for me before.
They will still get inside the shower, though, and turn all the faucets on and run the garbage disposal. Amazing how entitled people feel when they are buying something.
You will survive this!
can NOT believe people are using your toilet AND LEAVING SIGNS.
(even *I* wouldn't do that)
That is so gross that people are using your toilets and not flushing...GROSS!!!
Hehehe. You are funny.
I can't believe people use your potty! I have been looking at a lot of houses, and I would never do that! Freakin' people. Ha!
:)
The old Dump N Run, eh?
Mis-gusting, as my 4 year old likes to say.
This too shall pass.
Pardon the pun.
Oh, dear. What's up with people? Or down, as the case may be.
Perhaps some elaboration is in order. It isn't that they didn't flush. I would welcome that they didn't flush. Then I could simply flush.
They left some sort of human excrement schmear on the seat.
I hope none of you just had your dinner.
UGH!! I haven't had dinner yet, but now I may stop fantasizing about the Indian food you'll be having.
Nope, I still want it. Indian food trumps dump.
Meanwhile, we are looking at houses right now. The bathrooms are untouched, but our struggle is to leave the rugs Cheerio-free. So far so good.
We went through 12 rolls of toilet paper on the first Sunday showing. I so get your drift. How about those pee spots on the floor. Love it. I had to clean like a madwoman in the same way. The days will pass....just make sure to take care of yourself. Sending juju for the perfect people to show up asap.
Thanks for the best laugh I've had all day. Kimmy Pie, STOP with the Indian food trumps dump! OMG, SO f'ing funny!
That TOTALLY happened to me the last time we sold our house. We showed back up not 15 minutes after the last people came through, and you could smell the stench from someone being busy in the powder room. Seriously, that's just gross!
Taking the TP out of the bathrooms...now that's ingenious.
Oh no they didn't! I have never heard of such a thing.I am so territorial I would have to move far away before having strangers poke, prod and poo in my bathroom.
Good work, now come on Toddy...don't make the woman do all the cleaning. That's so yesterday's man!
Ha! I think the problem is, neither one of us does it enough!
He does all traditional "women's work," but lacks the eye for detail.
