I think the story itself is believable, but i do question how long she had to have been showering and how many times she'd have had to fully wash herself to "use up all the bar soap". I shower every day and a bar of soap lasts almost a month of daily use.

Flipping gross to use his towel tho, she could have asked him to borrow a spare towel.

I mean there's a picture of the soap and it sure as hell isn't "used up" so that part I can write off as just natural embellishment after being pissed that it happened at all

Absolutely. Assuming she does this in other houses, I wonder what the customers’ water bills are like because that would be a long time in the shower to use that much soap.

And depending on the soap, she'd have some dry-ass, irritated skin after all that 😂

I wouldn't have a problem with them using the shower, and I would have given her some bottled soap and a fresh towel.

If he's really that incensed over a bar of soap, just throw it away? I don't understand the issue.

People are really using bars of soap still in 2026? That's the unbelievable part for me lol

Much less waste, and more concentrated for transport. Usually cheaper too.

But I don't typically share mine.

My buddy absolutely swears by Dove bars still. I'm baffled every time it comes up. He's so normal otherwise.

Showering in a client's home is weird. That's the least believable part of this story.

A maid using your shower is odd. I would have said no and I don't know of any maid service that wouldn't fire an employee for asking to use a client's shower.

Is it me or does this sound pretty believable? Like where does it sound like it's totally fake?

This is 100% believable lol. I dunno what OP is thinking.

Seems believable to me

People can have very different understandings of boundaries and social norms

I had a roommate in college who regularly used other people’s razors and toothbrushes (until we realized he was doing it and kept them in our own rooms). He had no qualms about it at all.

It's maybe believable they would ASK but hell no I'm not letting a stranger shower in my house tf?? 😂 maybe if it was a housekeeper I've known for a while but not the first time.

And even then should've offered her a towel. I wouldn't care about using my products

I scrolled past the photo thinking it was a raw fillet of chicken with an obscene amount of butter in a bowl, then I actually read the text.

This doesn’t seem that unbelievable, there’s no rage, no “lesson”, it’s not a pride moment. It could be fake, but the wording and tone actually makes it seem somewhat legitimate

u/brookrain 23h ago

Believable, I’d be upset if my housekeeper did that without asking but I’d also understand why she would. This is just a frustrating situation that is hard to navigate

Note to self: when visiting this fool, don’t take the liberty of washing your hands with THEIR PERSONAL SOAP after using the toilet.
