To think its disgusting that dh used my towel

Bought myself a new bath towel recently, a lovely pink fluffy thing, a treat just for me. Dh used it this morning, stuffed it into the wash basket, and went off on his way. So I took it out to get it straight in the washing machine only to find he'd really given himself a good scrub and left the evidence behind 😠Anger level 1-10?

It's a damning indictment of my marriage when some responders think this thread is a wind up 😣
Nope, it really is that bad. And this is only one example.

Treat yourself to another new towel (and bedding) when you're out.

@Meeting Why do you wash the towel after every use…?

Keep the towel in a safe place. It’s just become even more special. Because when you’re going through all of the really difficult and crappy things that come with divorce, you’re feeling really low and wondering whether you did the right thing, you’ve now got that towel to remind yourself that you absolutely did do the right thing by leaving. That alone makes it worth it.

That's disgusting but it is just a towel. Wash it and I would buy him his own one in a different colour

It's a bidet.

Best autocorrect fail ever whilst typing whilst cooking 😂

Maybe he needs a rear view mirror to help check?

Many years ago, I used to live in Married Quarters, and we had one of those angled mirror on sticks to check under the car.

We kept it in the downstairs loo (as that was easiest place to put it after checking the car on the way out) and my Dad thought it was for checking your bum was clean.

I cannot believe there are people gross enough to do this. This can't be real!

Canonlythinkofthisone · 24/10/2023 19:38

Wasn't there a thread recently about shitty stains on sheets? Surely there's not more than one gross bag leaving shit stains behind?

Bum gun?

Sometimes it is like wiping the top of a marker pen though.

Another poster admitting to walking around with a shitty arse all day? Fml. Boak.

We all 'rely' on paper to wipe here. Never had a shit stain on anything. It's not hard, you just keep wiping till it's all gone.

At least you know his crack is now clean... Silver lining?

Could you buy him some toilet paper?

Made me laugh more than it should off 🤣

There might be a training school somewhere, or just instructions on good technique online like you get for washing your hands and brushing your teeth.

I wish more public loos for us men had automatic flushing 🙏 This isn't the only issue, there's flushing and not getting pee on the floor. It can be a bit of an obstacle course sometimes

Don't get me started with this. Ever since my work has moved to gender neutral toilets for everyone every time I go to the toilet now it is literally covered in piss all over the seat and the floor. I get the transgender issues but all that these kinds of policies do is allow non transgender men to invade single sex spaces and be disgusting.

Years ago there was a TV programme about new recruits to the army, all young teen men. One scene showed them showering before they were issued with their clothing. The sergeant stood there shouting instructions on how to wash. Use the soap. Yes, all over, now rinse it off before you get out. It was necessary, he said, otherwise more than half of them would just stand under the water for a few minutes then get-out. Wet but not washed. Quite alarming.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 24/10/2023 18:05

where's the leaf blower come in? Some sort of arse equivalent of the hand drier? Dyson are you reading this???

We're talking brute force to clear the debris!

A Karcher pressure washer would probably be more efficient; but then, why not just use the shower in the first place?!

I know. Imagine if someone left shit on your favourite towel on your actual Bday. Not the present one would expect from an OH!

This is why it's important to wash your bum, and not simply reply on paper.

Everyone needs to improve their hygiene standards and catch-up with Asian and African practices.

That's a nice idea for people who can have bidets in their bathrooms and never go to the toilet in the office or elsewhere!

ChocolateCinderToffee · 24/10/2023 15:53

Tiddlywinkly · 24/10/2023 15:49

Ew. Why does he have pooey bum AFTER showering? Has he no shame? LTB
