how do you say "hey, do you want me to leave you some money to get your duvet dry-cleaned?" without revealing why it needs to be cleaned?

do you want the return quesiton of "Why does it need to be dry-cleaned?" Surely there's someone else you can blame. Like the previous guest.

and, for tmdiva: dry cleaners don't just dry clean. They launder stuff, too, in big commercial dryers that can handle king-sized duvets, which my washer and dryer can't take.

Fuck me for perpetuating the ironing/duvet thread. But to make it more interesting (and topical, especially for me), if you are staying at someone's house for the weekend in their guestroom and you accidentally get semen stains on their white duvet (no duvet cover on the duvet dammit, just a white duvet on the bed), is it ok to just flip over the duvet before you leave or do you have to offer to have it dry-cleaned? how do you say "hey, do you want me to leave you some money to get your duvet dry-cleaned?" without revealing why it needs to be cleaned?

This is a serious question people.

First of all, I'd kill you for this. Second, sneak the damn thing out to the drycleaners and send a card with the dry cleaning receipt inside and enough cash to pay for it. They won't notice the comforter is gone until after you've left and by then it's too late.

This just may be my new england priggishness, but isnt it verbotin to fuck or jerk off or whatever while a guest in someone's house? Debtslave? If so, I would say you are best off leaving the sheets and not saying anything bc you WASH sheets and not DRYCLEAN them. Unless the guy has splooge of color.

A-hem. Well, it's my understanding that one of the major points in favor of large house parties in the past was that it made liasons easier to accomplish, which would tend to indicate that it's OK to have sex while a guest. However, those people had servants who had to clean everything up so perhaps if the hosts do their own laundry the rule is different.

Since your cleaning service does your laundry, your guests are allowed to have sex at your house.

Or, do oral only and swallow.

Ok, that's why I'm never staying with you. And that's the stupidest advice I've ever heard. Sneak out an entire duvet? Send a card with the receipt? What kind of a person wouldn't notice that their guest left and took the freaking duvet? Jesus Christ.

And if you were really worried about stains, would you put a duvet, without a cover, in a guest room? I honestly really like the person I stayed with and the stains were an accident, obviously. I would gladly buy her a new duvet, I just don't want to address the question of why the duvet is no longer pristine.

I got a good suggestion over im though. It was suggested that I accidentally spill hair gel or something on the comforter so then I have a legitimate and non cringe-inducing reason for offering to pay have the thing dry-cleaned. If only I'd thought of that at the time.

Am I to believe that nobody here knows anything about gangs

I suspect that unlike the categories "connoisseurs of fine shoes", "practitioners of deviant sexual acts" and "hockey fans," there is not a lot of overlap between "former gang members" and greedy associates. But I could be wrong.

You may have found the one subject upon which no contributor to this board wishes to pontificate upon, a feat that is remarkable in itself.

Everything I know about gangs I learned from Boyz in the Hood and Colors (so, not much, and even then 15 years out of date), but I didn't want you to think we weren't paying attention.

Woah, there was a discussion about demonic anime sex?

I gotta go back and read more carefully. Apparently, if you skim you miss the good parts.

OH, the duvet got dirty, not the duvet cover. scratch the last part of my post. you are basically fucked though bc you broke the rule . but maybe the house owner wont notice or is ultra cool about that kind of thing.

You're telling me. There really wasn't any discussion, I just admitted to having seen it. I can't figure whether people figured I was so kinky it was no surprise I had seen this stuff, or they were so horrified they couldn't comment.

I'm hurt people. Hurt.

Yeah, if it was just the cover, I would have hand washed it myself and ironed it with scented lavender water. Not a damn thing I can about the duvet itself.

And that's a stupid rule. I think the rule should be that all guestrooms have duvets with duvet covers. That's a better rule than no sex ever in the guestroom.

I don't think the person will notice b/c we did the flip, and it really wasn't that obvious. And the person I was staying with is a relative of the person who created the semen to begin with, so I've decided it's his responsibility to do something about it.

First, just kidding on the stealing and avoidance. Sheesh.
Second, agreed, anyone who doesn't put a cover on the damn thing in a guest room is crazy.
But yeah, the hair gel idea is perfect. Or makeup, even better. Then offer to buy a duvet cover (in case they don't know about them or something).

Actually people were thinking "mental note - check kazaa for kinky anime sex stuff at home tonight". And/or "leagl's the coolest board admin for pointing out about kinky anime porn on kazaa".

I didn't know that a reply was in order...

This is a serious question people.

If the whole Lewinsky affair showed us anything, dry cleaning alone doesn't get rid of protein stains. Something like Clorox 2 or another product that breaks down protein will have to be used in addition to the drycleaning to fully get the stain out.

In the meanwhile, you should tell your IT folks that now a bunch of lawyers who don't know them will mock them on an anonymous chat board. That should sting.

Where were you when I needed the Hugh Grant mug shot resized? Now you are all stuck with Cornholio.
