to find my lovely wife's tissue habit a bit minging

[NiceBloke]

So, my lovely wife has this habit with tissues. Used tissues that is or ones that "still have some space on them" as she says. They find their way everywhere - it started off under the pillows and up the sleeves but there has been an unwelcome development. With late pregnancy a sizeable cleavage has emerged - hey presto a perfect new storage site. Back me up ladies, surely this is over the line - a bit too minging, isn't it?

Caught my DGS putting toilet paper in his pocket. He claimed it was only a little wet and would do for next time.

I've done this for years. can't sleep without a snotrag under my pillow. Regardless of the time of year or whether or not I have a cold.

I am disgusting.

yanbu my partners ex did this and we had to clean out the entire room because of her. A full bedside drawer stuffed with used tissues. yuck. I made him throw out the bedside cabinet as it made me want to retch whenever i looked at it.

DP? What are you doing on MN?! I am guilty of this - in my defence, I have bad rhinitis (think all-year hayfever) and so does my dad and brother. If I threw away every tissue I used just once, I'd be bankrupt from buying the buggers within 6 months! If my DP complains I just say 'toilet seat'; end of discussion He probably has a point, however, that I shouldn't just throw the used ones vaguely in the direction of the bin but actually make sure they go in...

She likes to carry fragile wraps of snot secreted around her person like some kind of illicit bogey dealer?

Divorce immediately.

And get smaller tissues so she can blow-wipe-bin them without the guilt.

Mildly disgusting perhaps..fucking disgusting is a bit strong..its not like she's sticking greenies under the table,using her hands or OPs worn boxers

God I'm glad I'm single.

Mollie - being single has loads of unthought of advantages doesn't it

or eating them

DP has permanent rhinoceros (sorry, rhinitis) and leaves a little trail of tissues everywhere.

That said, obvs he doesn't have a cleavage. If he did, I might draw the line at finding tissues in it.

Have to admit there are many places I find to hide tissues.

Better than sniffing incessantly or using your sleeve/arm......

I am the worst ever offender for this- but I draw the line at cleavage tissues.

God no yanbu that is minging.

I agree with whoever said find a minging habit of yours and propose that you will give it up if she gives up this horrid tissue cleavage habit. You can set up a support group for each other. When you have given up the first minging habit on the list, then you can each move on to another minging habit, until neither of you have any revolting habits left. It will be an excellent bonding exercise.

I do this, but mainly because if I didn't have a tissue on me, I would be dripping snot everywhere. And carrying a full box of fresh tissues and a bin around with me is a bit much.

Pass her a baby wipe to wipe her cleavage before you touch it.

I am guilty of this myself, but even so YANBU, it mings.

YANBU...that is very nasty...my best friend does it but she also leaves them crumpled up on tables! Snot and eating surfaces don't mix.

If you hadn't mentioned your DW was pregnant I would have wondered if you were my BIL.

He is repelled by all manner of things generally unnoticed by male radar, examples including: a fruit stone stripped of the flesh and left on a coaster on the coffee table for future binning; used teabags in bowls previously containing custard and still bearing scrapings of same; any bodily fluids of any sort from anyone, including his beloved infants... and yet, worst of all, he still does all the grim stuff mentioned in MimsyRogers' list.

I of course have no grubby habits at all. (Such as picking DS's nose for him, as I love the satisfaction of personally hoiking out that sticky bogey)

Initial reaction is 'eeewww!' especially to the cleavage. It's yukky and unhygienic.

I expect you do have habits, so does everyone, doesn't mean snotty tissues down the cleavage is ok though.

Imagine if you stuffed snotty rags (or worse, jizzy ones!) down your boxers for her to find. it's horrible.

Noodles bleurgh! Maybe it's me and bogeys though. I remember being nearly sick when at ante natal class someone said they sucked the bogeys out of their kids nose.

it's a hard habit to break, but actually if she wants/needs to carry her excreted germs around with her all day, buy her a box of nice reusable hankies.

I'm an under-pillow person m'self. Can't be doing with dampness up the sleeves, and although I've got room for a whole box of tissues in my cleavage I don't use it for storage. So I just have to wear clothes with pockets for the whole winter, basically.

XH used to make a fuss about the pillow tissues, but he kept loose dental floss in the pocket of his filthy work trousers. It's hard to get any grosser than that (except for Granny23's toilet paper story!).

That is pretty gross tbh...tissues should be used once and then thrown in the bin - I mean we are talking snot here
