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?

DD's (4m) bogeys end up everywhere. They get wiped off wherever she rubs her face, if I don't get to her in time. The worst was the sneeze. I couldn't find where the MASSIVE bogey I was sure had been stuck just out of reach up her nose had gone. Until I started to drink my coffee... That, I can assure you, is way more vile than under a table!

(Or is it ok to wipe that on the table too?)

your own bogeys are good for the immune system...I eat mine. BUT when we were tiny and couldn't blow our noses, our father used to suck the bogeys out!!!eugggggghhhhh.

DH wipes his on his car seat and then flakes it all off when it's dry. I recently hoovered out the footwell and it looked like a massive pile of green nail clippings.

Eat it.

It's the only polite thing to do Wink

PooPooOnMars · 15/08/2012 09:32

That is absolutely disgusting op! Most children know not to do that!

I would actually leave him! I actually would! What a minger!

(Or wipe my shit under his pillow. See how the disgusting minger likes that!)

ILiveInAPineapple · 15/08/2012 09:39

I actually just had to go and throw up after reading this. I was feeling icky anyway and that just sent me over the edge.
I'm lucky that my DS (4yo) has never been a nose picker because I don't think I could cope!
I can't believe that adults actually pick their noses![shocked

ILiveInAPineapple · 15/08/2012 09:40

[shocked], even - see, still feeling ill now!

Pineapple. Do you blow yours then?

ILiveInAPineapple · 15/08/2012 09:50

Yes, into a tissue or toilet paper, then I flush it and wash my hands.
No picking here!!

PooPooOnMars · 15/08/2012 10:14

See i can't blow my nose, bit weird i know. So i have to pick and do the tissue loo thing. But wiping it under the table is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard. So unhygienic! What about if someone else sits there?!

Is he this disgusting in other ways op?

MrsHoarder · 15/08/2012 10:18

I wouldn't flush it down the loo: I'd use the waste paper basket or in a pinch drop it in the loo and leave the paper for the next person to flush.

We're on metered water and I've told DH off for cleaning his glasses then flushing the paper. Its not like it will stain the loo or smell if its just a piece of paper.

So YABU to insist he flushes it down the loo, but YADNBU to insist on the usage and sensible disposal of tissues instead of using the furniture.

BlackeyedPetitsPois · 15/08/2012 10:37

Eeek wiping under coffee table!!?? That's not on - esp for an adult and in front of someone!

I must admit there is something satisfying about having a good old pick - BUT...in private and always wiped on a tissue and disposed of appropriately!! And wash hands afterwards!

[goes off to find tissue] Grin

PooPooOnMars · 15/08/2012 11:12

Mrshoarder. I don't suppose the op is bothered whether it is actually flushed or not!
