Although they maybe turning heads with their extravagant outfits at the red carpet at Cannes, but Indian movies have been glaringly absent from the lineup. They pose, blow air kisses to the photographers, will twirl with their gowns,but there's nothing more to the festival that they can offer.
For some weird reason my MIL really wants to go into our bedroom whenever she comes over. On one occasion I followed her as she went upstairs (i was going to get something for my child as the bedrooms are upstairs) and she walked past the bathroom on the main floor and up the stairs behind it. She didn’t hear me and I caught her walking straight into my room and rifling through bills on my dresser. She denied snooping (even though I’d just watched her do it) and said she was just going to use our bathroom because she couldn’t find the other ones. She walked right past the one on the main floor and another one in the upstairs hallway to go into our bedroom. Since that happened, I installed an exterior doorknob that requires a key on our bedroom door and one on the door to our office/spare bedroom.
However, she’s still always “forgetting” where the bathroom is and trying the bedroom and office door. This really ticks me off. My husband says that I just get annoyed at this because everything she does drives me crazy and since we’ve put locks on the rooms we don’t want her in, there isn’t really a problem anymore.
Well over the holidays we had my in laws over for dinner and before they came I was searching for the bedroom keys. We hadn’t used them in a while since we only lock the doors when MIL comes over. My husband told me we didn’t need to lock the doors since she wouldn’t try to get into the rooms and I insisted that she would because she loves to snoop. We went back and forth and decided to cover the doorknobs in super fine glitter to see if she tried them.
I did this once before when husband didn’t believe me about the snooping to prove she’d been in the rooms. Last time she ignored the glitter and we didn’t say anything about it but then my husband couldn’t deny that she’d tried to snoop. So this time I covered the knobs in glitter and for the office went a touch further and rigged a little folder of glitter over the door to the office before the in laws came over. I left it one side unlocked (French doors) and it was set so if you walked in the room you would get covered in glitter.
Husband goes out of his way to show his mom the main floor bathroom when they got here and specifically asks his parents and sister not to go upstairs. There’s a baby gate so the kids can’t get upstairs either.
Well guess who had to go to the bathroom and got covered in glitter and had it all over their hands and hair? She completely lost it and st

Pretty nuts.
Edit- This got a lot more comments than I thought it would! My husband and I read many of the comments and we both had a good laugh. He has agreed that this is his mess and has renewed determination. Just wanted to say again that this really was all in good fun. My husband is not a jerk who is weaponizing his incompetence. He’s just someone who vastly underestimated the power of glitter! (But oh wow does he know now.)
This is a relatively light hearted dispute, but my husband and I are both convinced we are right. My kid loves to do craft projects. However, as most parents or teachers know, glitter is the worst. My husband thinks my insistence on no glitter is over the top and he came home from the craft store the other day with several tubes of loose glitter (my kid begged him for them). Of course my kid proceeded to get glitter everywhere. We both made him clean it up. But he’s 4 and obviously he’s not going to be able to vacuum it all up and wipe everything down without help. My husband tried his best but the glitter is still there. I could probably get rid of the rest of it since I’m more experienced with glitter than him (if you can actually quantify one’s glitter experience), but I’m refusing to help out of principle. Now, glitter is turning up on our clothes and getting tracked around the house on our feet. I’ve my husband google exists and he can figure it out. AITA for refusing to help with any glitter clean up?

First of all, I don't want to say that I've "solved" it. The Endless Thread podcast claimed they did as well, but I don't buy their explanation for a second. I don't have confirmation that this is the answer, but I have found an awful lot of compelling evidence for this being the answer. Not only that, but this is the answer that best fits all the major clues given in the original article.
The Mystery
If, somehow, you've avoided the Glitter Mystery all this time, it all started with a New York Times article published in 2018. A journalist visited a major glitter factory, Glitterex, which is headquartered in New Jersey. During the visit, the journalist and her guide had the following, very intriguing exchange:
>When I asked Ms. Dyer if she could tell me which industry served as Glitterex’s biggest market, her answer was instant: “No, I absolutely know that I can’t.”
>
>I was taken aback. “But you know what it is?”
>
>“Oh, God, yes,” she said, and laughed. “And you would never guess it. Let’s just leave it at that.” I asked if she could tell me why she couldn’t tell me. “Because they don’t want anyone to know that it’s glitter.”
>
>“If I looked at it, I wouldn’t know it was glitter?”
>
>“No, not really.”
>
>“Would I be able to see the glitter?”
>
>“Oh, you’d be able to see something. But it’s — yeah, I can’t."
>
>I asked if she would tell me off the record. She would not. I asked if she would tell me off the record after this piece was published. She would not. I told her I couldn’t die without knowing. She guided me to the automotive grade pigments.
So, we've got some major hints here that narrow things down quite a bit. They are:
- It isn't something you'd necessarily think was glitter, or had glitter in it.
- It's something people might be upset to learn contained glitter.
These are really important clues, because they sort of narrow down all the major guesses. Automotive or boat paints? They obviously have glitter in them, and no one would care if they did. Cosmetics and beauty? I'm a 35-year-old woman and I know that the makeup community already knows and doesn't care about this - they'd rather see synthetic glitter anyway, considering the issues around mining mica. Aerospace? They might use it, but not in quantities that would even come CLOSE to matching the volume of
