To think this is disgusting?

BIL visits. BIL gets toothbrush from bathroom and wanders around living room brushing teeth. BIL then goes over to kitchen sink to spit/rinse mouth. It's open plan so we get to see him spitting in our kitchen sink.

AIBU to think you just wouldn't do this in someone else's home?

Meh. Not a massive issue IMO.

Did he rinse the sink afterwards?

I wouldn't do it myself but it's certainly not "disgusting".

Unless he spat all over your dishes, I would not turn a hair at that.

What do you do in the bathroom sink that makes it not bleuch?! Confused

I'd be a bit cross and I always thought I had low standards compared to most on mn!

If it's an already used toothbrush belonging to one of your family, I'd baulk a bit at that.

But the kitchen sink thing, I'm easy.

Seriously people find this gross? My eyes have been opened!

I clean the dogs bowl in the kitchen sink, pour tuna juice down the kitchen sink, pour off milk down the kitchen sink...... I so wouldn't be bothered by someone spitting (in a controlled manner) toothpaste down the kitchen sink as long as they rinsed!

However I shall definitely never do this at anyone else's house now I know there are people who find it gross!

Why the need to walk around, brushing takes 2 minutes, just stay in the bathroom and use the sink in there. I'd find it bleurgh too.

As long as it's his tooth brush it wouldn't bother me.

44PumpLane would you use your BIL's toothbrush?! If I understood correctly he's using someone else's.

I would be a bit annoyed. Why can't he do it in the bathroom?

It's weird to wander around the rest of the house brushing your teeth.

A bit strange but he obviously feels very relaxed in your house to do something like this?

You could take it as a compliment I suppose Confused

I would prefer not to see people brushing their teeth. My OH walks around the downstairs (where his bathroom is) brushing his teeth and I can smell the horrible toothpaste and hear this crssh crsssh noise which irritates me, so I would prefer it to be done in the bathroom. Spitting out int he kitchen sink....not too bothered so long as it is rinsed away

Honestly, I think you are unusual to care about the brushing/sink.

But no way should he help himself to your toothbrushes!

Oh!! Just to clarify I completely missed that he had one of your toothbrushes!! Ok no.... That is not at all reasonable and is in fact massively grim!!!

No no no!!!! I'd have to throw that toothbrush out!!

Thanks panad I had totally missed that!
