With a live-in mother-in-law who continually disturbs her in the bathroom and an unsupportive husband who deems it ‘fine,’ she decides to put on a show worth watching, and it starts a bad rumor!
The Annoying Guest
The woman’s mother-in-law came to stay with them for a few weeks while her home was being renovated for Christmas. The woman gets on with her, but she does sense that there’s an element of entitlement while she’s in their house.
Barges Straight In
The biggest problem is that her mother-in-law randomly walks in on her while she’s in the bathroom. At first, she assumed it was a one-off mistake, it can happen! But she’s noticed that she just barges in as though she’d entitled.
Several Incidents
She’d only been with them for a week when the woman started picking up on it. There were at least six incidents where she’d suddenly have company while doing her makeup or cleaning the bathroom, each time with the door closed.
No Nudity
The woman is thankful that she hasn’t been in the shower or bath or simply naked when her mother-in-law walks in. However, she does suspect that it’s a matter of time.
The Same Old Story
Each time it happens, her mother-in-law will barge in, see her standing there, then turn and say, “Oh! Sorry!” Then she’ll close the door. The woman has asked her to knock first, but she never does.
A Previous Trauma
There is a lock on the door, and the woman could easily use it. However, she has faced past trauma after being locked in the bathroom by her brother when she was 5. Since then, she has had major panic attacks when she’s in a locked room.
The Mother-in-law Is Aware
The mother-in-law is fully aware of her past trauma as it’s come into conversation on numerous occasions. The woman has even told her that she never locks doors due to her fears.
No Big Deal
She has tried talking to her husband about it, but he continually ignores her. On one occasion he said, “So what if she accidentally sees you naked? She’s family!” The woman can’t believe that he actually said that!
She Formulates a Plan
She comes up with an idea. Unless she locks the door, she knows she’ll have to expect her mother-in-law to keep barging in on her. The only thing she can do is to surprise her somehow enough to make her WANT to stop!
A Shocking Visual
When her mother-in-law ‘accidentally’ barges in, she plans to place herself in a weird/awkward position. For example, doing a balletic pose, standing on the toilet, or standing facing the wall with her hands up. All fully clothed!
Wants to Freak Her Out
She can sense how awkward and weird this will be for her. She’ll stand there for a few seconds, trying to figure out what on earth her daughter-in-law is doing in the bathroom!
A Surprising Reaction
The first time the woman does it, she finds the whole thing quite hilarious! Seeing her mother-in-law’s initial confusion and trying her best to understand what on earth she’s just walked into!
The Secret Rituals
Later on, her mother-in-law tells the woman’s husband, her son, about the whole affair. She claims, “I caught her practicing rituals in the bathroom!” Apparently, she’s quite shaken up, convinced that the woman is some sort of witch!
She Comes Clean
Eager to clear things up and assure her husband that she isn’t practicing ‘rituals’ of any kind in the bathroom, she finally reveals the reason why she did it. She tells him that she has no choice but to do SOMETHING!
A Bad Reaction
Her husband is livid. He calls her childish and says that she has made his mom feel ‘terrified,’ as well as completely weirded out by her behavior. She tells him the whole thing is quite hilarious, and he should find his sense of humor!
Get Over It
The woman still finds it comical at this point. But then he goes on to say that should be more mature by locking the door. She explains that she has a known trauma, and he says it’s high time she ‘gets over it!’
Lack of Sympathy
The woman is angry at this point. She doesn’t take her trauma lightly and knows that it isn’t practical to avoid locked doors forever. However, in her own home, she insists that she should be free to do as she pleases!
She Keeps Doing It
Furious at her husband’s lack of support and angry at her mother-in-law for being so rude, the woman carries on doing it. She doesn’t justify her actions, she just poses whenever her busybody mother-in-law enters.
A Vicious Rumour
A few weeks later, the woman gets chatting to someone in a local store. They know her mother-in-law quite well as she visits often. The woman in the store tells her she’d heard about her strange rituals and that she should be careful as it might be dangerous. The woman says nothing, amused by the whole thing and leaving her to think that she’s a witch!
