to risk embarrassing dh

So would I be wrong to pull dh up about used tissues in the bedroom bin? By used I don't mean he has a cold! Shouldn't he just flush them and save and hassle? So should I say something or not?

You're forensically examining used tissues? And you think HE has the issue?
Ok.

MamaMaiasaura · 09/07/2012 22:40

Just get him to empty the bin if it bothers you. It's not like he's leaving them all over floor.

MamaMaiasaura · 09/07/2012 22:41

lentillyfart he has the tissue, she has the issue Wink

ThisIsAUsername · 09/07/2012 22:41

If he is putting them in the bedroom bin, I'm sure you won't be embarrassing him by mentioning it.

cocolepew · 09/07/2012 22:41

Urgh tell him to throw them away.I hardly think hes going to be embarassed by you saying, its obviously not a secret.

EndoplasmicReticulum · 09/07/2012 22:42

At least he's putting them in the bin. Could be much worse!

needtogetalife · 09/07/2012 22:42

No I emptied the bag and they were in full view and was quite obvious

cocolepew · 09/07/2012 22:42

Ohhh theyre in the bin. I thought he was flinging them around the room.

LentillyFart · 09/07/2012 22:43

Grin mama - nice one!

TrinityIsAFuckingRhino · 09/07/2012 22:44

I honestly would like to know how the actual fuck you can tell a wank tissue from any other tissue having been used to blow nose/wipe eyes etc?

LentillyFart · 09/07/2012 22:44

Trinity - IMO you really shouldn't be able to..........

needtogetalife · 09/07/2012 22:44

Hmm maybe I am over reacting then,

OP posts:
Lucyellensmum12345 · 09/07/2012 22:45

But do the tissues contain something else? because you shouldnt flush those!

Seriously though, why would your DH be embarrased?? Either tell him to empty the bin or do it yourself.

TrinityIsAFuckingRhino · 09/07/2012 22:47

lentilly, you mean unless you sniff it/examine it closely you wouldn't be able to?

cause thats what I think

and why can't he put them in the bin?

whats wrong with that?

surely 'cold' tissues are more likely to spread cold around (not that they actually do) by being left in the bin

you're not going to catch 'wank'.....

TrinityIsAFuckingRhino · 09/07/2012 22:47

what else would they contain?

surely noone wanks with a condom on?

LentillyFart · 09/07/2012 22:49

I dunno Trinity - it's not an issue in this house but that's probably because to me a used tissue could be full of watery snot, solid boogers, wank juice or spit-up - it wouldn't matter because I just don't look inside them!

PedanticPanda · 09/07/2012 22:50

Why would you say anything? What would be the point? He put them in the bin, he didn't scatter them all over your pillow fgs.

LentillyFart · 09/07/2012 22:50

He put them in the bin, he didn't scatter them all over your pillow fgs

WorraLiberty · 09/07/2012 22:51

At least he's not wiping it on the curtains...

Sposh · 09/07/2012 22:52

Unless you'd prefer that he pretended he never had a wank then I'd let it go. Men wank, women wank. So what? It's not a weird thing to do.

StellarforStar · 09/07/2012 22:52

Trinity it's called a "posh wank" round our way.

LentillyFart · 09/07/2012 22:53

worra!!!! Grin Grin

Sposh · 09/07/2012 22:53

Worra Grin

There's always the possibility of a wank sock or mitten too. I think I'd prefer the tissue/issue scenario myself, and I'm quite a green recycling type.

MamaMaiasaura · 09/07/2012 22:53

Grin worra

WorraLiberty · 09/07/2012 22:55

Spose you could ask him to stand on your driveway on bin night and wank directly into the wheelie bin?
