Is this a grim habit or am I precious? <tmi warning>

DP has a skin condition which means that he gets really bad dry skin and flakes of it fall off everywhere. In general.... We just brush down the bed every morning and vac regularly.

But one thing really grosses me out - when he goes for a pee, he scratches and this means that dry skin from, ahem, particular areas falls off and gets on the floor. It forms this little gritty sheen on the laminate flooring around the loo. I am so frickin' tired of stepping in it and getting it all over my stockinged feet in the mornings before work or when I get up in the night. Blech.

DP says I am picking on him for a medical condition he can't help. I say if you are going to leave crotchflakes on the floor you should clean them up after.

AIBU? Does your DP have a similarly gross problem that you just live with?

Utterly gross. He should clean up after himself.

I vote for collecting said crotchflakes, and at the end of say, a month, serve them to him in a bowl with milk for breakfast. He might just get the hint then

The thing I can't stand is when DH flosses close to the mirror and flecks it. Never occurs to him to clean it. Yuechh.

Is anyone else thinking about Austin powers -gold member . The bit when he peels off skin , licks it puts it in a box and says " it's a keeper " ? .

Yup in my minds eye Revoltingpeasants dh is Goldmember !

Oh my I feel sick, its my worst nightmare and I would have to divorce someone who flaked (even that word makes me gag). That is just vile, your walking in his skin!!! brushing down the bed!!! bleugh!!!

....also think the word " crotchflakes" is going to be huge ! Can see it going global ! ,

Just mention it on Facebook or twitter and before you know it , it will be included in the next edition of the English dictionary .

Well done OP !

I've nominated thread for classics !

Op he's not really that bad , only slightly mingin. You should search for "grotty man thread " . Some things on there are utterly revoltingly disgusting.

Why is it ok to be horrible about someone with a skin condition.

YANBU, he should clear it up, and scratching at the loo is not hygenic. But some of the comments on here about people who dare to have flakey skin is just plain horrid.

I may be sensitive as I have very painful (sometimes unable to walk) eczema on my feet though. And I am cross my mother pulls a face if I walk around barefoot anywhere, including the garden, even when I don't have a flare-up.

It isn't acceptable to be visibly disgusted by other illnesses eg. colostomy bags, diabetics syringing at table etc.

It's not the skin condition that's the issue , it's the fact he's a man that won't clean up after himself.

I'm sorry your eczema causes you pain .

Classics, eh! Who knew a few crotchflakes would get me so far in life. I might bottle them and sell them.....
