Husband cutting his hair in a box

Ok.. so slightly tongue in cheek but completely infuriating me ATM! My husband has started to cut his own hair at home (too tight to go to barber) he has started to lean over a plastic box to cut his hair then was leaving it (with hair) in the bathroom. When I complained it disappeared for a while and today I have found in the guest en suite a box full of hair with his hair clippers. When challenged and asked to at least empty said box, he just says well it's not full up yet so he is planning on leaving a box full of hair just lying around and does not seem to think this is at all disgusting! Just to say he is generally quite clean and good about the house but he just can't seem to see my problem with this! AIBU to find this disgusting or is it just a men vs women thing?? 😂

Is he knitting a toupe?

That would drive me absolutely mad! How long is his hair?!

It's not long, he hasn't got that much left to be honest so just runs over with the clippers as he says the barber is a waste of time and money.. its just grim!!

It's an odd thing to do, and a little selfish!

Nothing wrong with cutting his own hair but the keeping it in a box is interesting. What does he plan to do with it? At least he's cleaning it up rather than leaving it all over the bathroom floor I suppose haha
