to find it disgusting that my DF does this...

[wontletmesignin]

He uses a knife to cut bread, pears, apples, pretty much anything. Then wipes it with a tea towel (that has been used all throughout that day for different things), then puts it back in the drawer.

It knocks me sick. Especially since i eat there at times. The more i see him do it, the less i want to eat there! Unless i clean my knife and fork beforehand, which i would find rude if somebody done that here.

I do that if I cut bread unless he's using the tea towel to wipe his arse with I don't see the problem!

Meh. As long as its not raw meat that he's cutting, no ones going to die.

Wouldn't really bother me either. Sorry OP.

I do that sometimes too. Not if I've prepared a meal or used it to spread butter or something, but for a cutting a bit of bread or a piece of fruit I'd give it a quick wipe and put it back in the drawer. Sorry.

Ahh nevermind then. Must just be me. I wasnt sure

What exactly is he doing with the tea towel that would knock you sick? I'm just interested in why you have a problem with it

I would do the same.. so long as the teatowel is not filthy I cant see a problem

It can be used for everything. To wipe things off of the floor, wipe dog food up, hands.

I think it is just me. Im finicky like that. Wasnt sure so thought id ask.

The bread doesnt bother me that much. It is the other things.

I take it you snog this man and possibly also have oral sex with him? Surely a bit of fruit juice on a tea towel is hardly worth worrying about!

I have a towel for hands, and a tea towel used to dry clean cutlery. If I've used a knife to cut bread only, I will wipe with the tea towel and put back.
Don't do that for anything other than bread tho, anything wet gets a proper wipe with a wet cloth.

Huh ...DF! Oh my haha fairylea my dad

I hope if dog food was being wiped up, or something from on the floor, then the teatowel would be put in the washbin, no?!

No. So it knocks me sick. Knowing what the tea towel may have been used for...

Oh! Sorry! I thought you meant fiancé or whatever. Haha. Oops.

Haha! I thought that too TurnOffTheTv - surely the tea towel has been used maybe for drying things after they've been washed - hands, dishes, etc. Presumably he doesn't blow his nose / wipe his arse on it. If it's a manky, scabby bit of grease-ridden fabric, I'd be worried if he was using it to dry his hands/the dishes, never mind wipe the odd knife on. How bad are we talking?

i never thought of fiance haha

I take it you snog this man and possibly also have oral sex with him?

fairylea bless you

I thought things were taking a turn for a second FairyLea.

Op, yanbu. Not because of the knife wiping but because
they put the teatowls to really unhygienic uses and hang it back up no, most people (including those ok with knife wiping) would never, ever do that.
Your DF I'm afraid is a bit grim.

actual lolz @ fairlylea

Euwwwww... no, no, no! That changes everything entirely. Sorry. You don't use a tea towel for wiping the floor / dog food!!! That really is grim!!! Tea towels are for drying wet things. It's not gross that he wipes the knife and puts it back in the drawer. It's disgusting that he wipes up dog food with the same thing that could be used to dry the dishes though!!

:D @ I take it you snog this man and possibly also have oral sex with him? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

ffs fairylea

Everytime i read what fairylea wrote im lmao

Oh so its not just me then. Thought i was just being over the top, as i can be at times with things like that.

I'm with the OP, I have one towel for drying dishes, and another for drying hands, anything else gets washed, I will probably reuse the bread knife and bread board through out the day, but ant more than that is just wrong and horrid

Real life tears laughing at fairylea
