One of my mom's friends is staying over for the week and I can't take it anymore! He's sharing my bathroom and he's so gross. We left him his own towel but he keeps using mine to dry after showers and leaves hair all over the floor (NOT FROM HIS HEAD~) and keeps leaving the toilet seat up. I'm afraid to say anything to him or my mom what do I do?

Some people just don't realize they are being "gross". He may have been looking for something in the cabinet and moved your tampons to get to something else, or maybe your mom moved them. Either way, just use a different towel, or keep yours in your bedroom til he leaves. As for the hair, how much is this guy actually leaving on the ground? If he's that hairy, maybe it's just falling out as he's toweling off, unless he shaved or something and didn't clean up after himself, which is gross. You should say something to your mom about at least the hair, and the moved items, cause I'm sure she can give you an explanation for it. You can leave a broom and dustpan and perhaps some type of cleaner and sponge in the bathroom. It may be that he wants to clean up after himself, but doesn't have the tools to do so and is a bit embarrassed to ask. Does he leave a mess around the other parts of the house? Hopefully he's not inconsiderate, he's either unaware of it (most likely) or, like I said, doesn't feel comfortable enough to go diggin through the house for a broom. He may just be in a hurry to leave your bathroom. Did you specifically point out to him which towel is his?
Talk to your mom bout it.

OK, if he's only there for a week, it's doubtful you're going to teach him any manners in that short of a time. Talk to your mom, but meanwhile, since it's just for a week, I'd recommend taking YOUR towel back to your room with you, so that he doesn't have access to it.
I'm a little intrigued that you would look so closely at the hair on the floor and instantly determine that they were not from his head. Honey, that's weird. If it bothers you so much, then grab a Swiffer and run one over the floor before you take a shower.
Toilet seat - like I said, it's going to be hard to teach manners. As a guest, the most you could say to him would be "Remember you're in a house full of women -- please put the toilet seat down when you're finished!", said with grace and humor. If he ignores you -- oh, well, you tried. Grin and bear it for a bit.

If you feel comfortable talking to your mom, then you should talk with her about it without him around.
If you don't feel like you can talk to her, then you may just want to make some adjustments until he leaves.
For example take your towel out of the bathroom and hang it up on a drying rack or something else in your bedroom. I use to do this when I had a room mate who had friends over.
Also, keep your toothbrush and other personal items in your bedroom. When you are ready to use them take them in the bathroom with you, but don't leave them in there.
When I had a room mate, I was always worried about her friends using my things (towel, etc.) so I just never left anything in the bathroom. I did this for three years so a week for you should not be too bad.
What's your mom letting a guy stay over for a week anyway?
Sorry for asking.
I'll bet you'll be glad when you can get your own place so that you will not have to deal with this anymore.
Good luck.

Men usually are not the best at cleaning that's why there is no Marry Maids that are men.If this guy is a Friend of your mom hes probably older right?Say exactly what you said on-line he should be able to take it.Extrovert yourself a little, tell him your concerns because for the most part men are oblivious to these things.OR, hes a complete slob and you need to smack him upside the head and ask him what the hell his problem is hes a grown *** man, and he needs top clean up after himself.Posting a question on-line will only solve your problem on-line.Talk to him.

Have to realize that there are somethings you can change and somethings you cannot. The next time you take a shower, take your towel to your room, hang it up on your door or something so that he knows you're using it. Sounds hard but you have to be the example for him to follow. He'll gradually pick up on your habits. If there's something that you don't like about what he's doing, just swallow your pride and tell him. Just be glad he's only there for the weekend.

Did you try the indirect approach? If you don't tell, write. Write a note to your mom explaining the situation and make sure only she gets it only when you're out of the house. That way you won't have to deal with anything when you get home if you explain everything thoroughly and tell her not to say anything about it out loud in your note. Good luck dealing with the nasty dude!

Oh my god, it sound awful! Perhaps you should use the showers at your local pool until he has gone and you can reach for the bleach. DEFINATELY keep a towl for yourself in your own room. As for the pubes....... yuk. Could you use your Mum's bathroom til he goes? That way you don't have to use the same toilet. I feel well sorry for you! x

Yea, I understand that. My mom has a boyfriend who is exactly the same way. You need to talk to your mom about it and tell him to stop using your towel. Also if it's bugging you that much it must be bugging your mom. She is just also to afraid to say anything.

Use another bathroom, tell your mom you don't want to share your bathroom with him, he should use hers. If you don't have a second bathroom, try and alter your schedule so that your mom is the one that has to deal with it and she'll find out on her own. Take your towel with you to your room.
