I originally posted this back in 2009, but since the holidays are right around the corner, I thought I would re-post it just in case you’ll be having guests in your home anytime soon.
While cleaning the bathroom today, I had a thought. When you go to someones house and you use their restroom, do you open up their cupboard under the sink? Do you peek into their medicine cabinet or drawers? Did you know 40% of Americans snoop in the drawers and cabinets of others?
Care to fess up? Do you look?
I’ll tell if you tell.

I only snoop if I actually need something. Like a new roll of toilet paper, or a Q tip or something.
Me too!
I don’t really look in people’s cabinets except for toilet paper, if I need anything else I ask. On the other side of the coin, if I know I’m going to have alot of people over I make sure I take out all but the basics . I especially put away the heavy meds and easy open bottles incase of a stray kid.
I totally do. And that number has to be more than 40%. That’s just 40% of people who actually admitted it. I go through all the drawers and cabinets. Stems from when I was a babysitting teenager, that was my favorite things to do. I found naughty things, and even some pot at a doctor’s house – LOL!
You are on Santa’s naughty list for sure LaToya.
I don’t really snoop in medicine cabinets… But I LOVE seeing other people’s closets. No idea why.
Gracious NOOOO! How awful!! And creepy!!! Now I will be wondering about any and all the people that come to my home. Yuckaroo!! If I need something…I sure would ask.
Exactly how I feel!
Same here, would not look. I would check to see if toilet paper on roll before using the bathroom, just like in a public bathroom.
Ditto! NOT ok at all!!
If you want to know if someone is snooping in your medicine cabinet, put a few marbles in there . When they open the door, they will bounce out and you will hear the noise. Your guest should come out with a beet red face, too!
Only if there’s no TP. Otherwise, none of my business.
I am apparently really boring, since it never occurred to me to look. The appeal is… what, exactly? Knowing things about their digestive processes that you never wanted to know?
(and it’s not like something like spiderman bandaids really tell you anything conclusive about someone anyway; could have been a gag gift that they’re using up instead of throwing away, could be in stock for patching up a visiting nephew’s frequent scrapes, could have just been the cheapest ones on the shelf at the time [hey, clearance section at Target!], or they might enjoy spiderman?)
If I need tp only, If i need a tampon/pad I’ll request before I enter. Seriously what could they possibly have in a semi-public room that I haven’t done at some point in my life. I am curious how other people organize pantries and closets and such so I can see why it appeals.
