Just witnessed DH wiping a bogey under the coffee table!

I told him it was disgusting and to get a tissue and flush it down the toilet to get a reply of "I always do it, under the bed, under the ledge on the chest of draws, under the sofa and under the table, They just dry and crust off and go up the hoover anyway Grin"

Leave the bastard or AIBU?

Leave, leave, leave the bastard. As many times as you can.

Or buy him a big box of Kleenex as a present.

You don't mean your DH surely? You must mean a five year old DC?

Don't leave him-chuck him out.

What an egregious waste of water. Bin it instead! But yeah wiping on the furniture is mingin. Mine eats his when he thinks I'm not looking. Puke.

vodkaanddietirnbru · 14/08/2012 19:01

why flush, putting the tissue in a bin would be sufficient (certainly better than wiping it everywhere which is gross!)

Pick it
Lick it
Roll it
Flick it

Now I'm got my Brownies' favourite song going round my head

"Down in the jungle where nobody goes, there's a big fat gorilla picking his nose, he picks it and he flicks it...."

I just thought I would share

I remember expressing disgust to a teacher friend of mine at kids picking their noses and eating the bogeys. She replied that she actually prefers it when they do that - at least she knows they're not wiping them on the desks or chairs!

LadyBeagleEyes · 14/08/2012 19:11

Grin Thunder.

HecateHarshPants · 14/08/2012 19:12

Filthy beast.

Whack him with a chair.

HIBVU! Everyone knows that you have to eat boogers! You have to recycle the protein!

I love a good pick of bogeys in the morning.

One of the best things about being on oxygen after my operation was the ginormous bogeys it created. I'd never seen anything like them.

BigHairyFlowers · 14/08/2012 23:21
Shock

Leave! Leave now!!!!

(But let him keep the bogey encrusted furniture)

stealthsquiggle · 14/08/2012 23:24

[bleugh] to OP. But unless you want to be seeing them (and everything else) again as you unblock the pipes, do not flush tissues down the toilet if you have a septic tank. They don't break up like toilet paper does.

lottiegarbanzo · 14/08/2012 23:32

I feel sick. I thought even children knew they were doing something wrong and disgusting when doing this.
