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?

Another guilty party here... but it IS minging (surreptitiously throws away mountain of used tissues around her on desk )

YANBU - my DM does this and it's grim. Every one of her pockets and bags is booby-trapped with snot.

As a healthcare professional, I have a high disgust threshold, but I can't abide snot

I'd think you were my SIL (if I had one). DH can't stand any mess he doesn't make himself....

To echo what soemone else said, if i threw away every tissue after each use I'd spend an absolute fortune on them (colds in winter, hayfever in summer, random rhinitis in between). I don't put them in my cleavage though, I wear clothes with pockets (or leave them on my bedside table or the arm of the sofa...)

HAs anyone mentioned Bounty kitchen roll?

Use it, use the spare bits, let it dry and repeat.

Lasts for ages. Always best to have one or two squares stashed in every room/bed/sofa.

Fantastic value in so many ways.

That is disgusting! I understand entirely why you do not like this trait.

My mum will leave them on the sofa, behind cushions. I don't understand why she won't put them in the bin!

I put tissues up my sleeve (slowly turning into my grandmother), but defo would not put them in my cleavage. For a start, they'd fall out.

The bed is currently covered in partially used kitchen roll at the moment, as DP has a cold. I just move them back over to his side of the bed to deal with.

I thought this was aimed at me too but am not heavily pregnant and DH would never post on any forum of any kind so I guess not.

My mum always has a tissue or 3 in her very ample cleavage. What's even worse is that as soon as one of the grandchildren need a tissue, she's ferreting around in said cleavage and whipping out a bit of tissue faster than a speeding bullet. I can't get to them with a clean one quicker than her pulling one out!

This is vile. Blow and throw. Not blow and store in bra.

Slattern.

I am PMSL at 'blow and throw' (sounds like my approach to relationships actually )

YANBU OP it is a foul and disgusting habit I agree.

However not as foul as ex-DH who, upon visiting post our break up to retrieve clothes, had created a pile of semen encrusted tissues next to the bed, balanced on wank mag.

And yes ladies, he is still available!

YABU

I keep a clean tissue folded up down the side of my bra when I've got no pockets. I find they often fall out of sleeves so you havn't got one when you need it. But they always stay put in the bra.

Would bin it if i'd had a good blow on it but keep them if it was just a little wipe.

PMSL at this thread! Especially at Noodle.

Guilty of tissues under the pillow, in pockets, and occasionally located under sofa cushions. Have never thought of storing them in cleavage, though. Now there's an idea...

YABU. It's gross. Worse still is when people blow their noses at the dinner table. YUK.

I meant: You are NOT being unreasonable.

I remember reading about AA Gill's friends who he calls the 'Snot Dogs'. Apparently the husband blow his nose in his hands and gives it to the dogs to lick off. His wife expresses mild displeasure.

i have a massive snot phobia so everyone has to blow and throw and not in the bin in the toilet,vile vile vile.Wouldnt wipe your arse and pop in in ya pocket.Worse still is when someone repeated blows then stores then gets it out again and again to re use.Ban snot and bogies i what i say.

Re-evaluating... So what I'm going to do is find out what the most disgusting habit I have is from my DW! and follow the suggestion to agree to give it up if she at least gives up the cleavage tissue.

OMG is it disgusting to carry a used tissue in my bra?!

I carry a lot of things in my bra actually.

Have been known to go out with house keys and purse in there so I don't need to take a handbag with me.
