To think this habit is disgusting?

This morning I had to fish my dh's nicotine gum out of the toilet. He thinks that this is no big deal and I should just flush it- he's been doing it for ages Confused Usually it's just urine he leaves which I also hate. He does not understand that these little things make me feel disrespected and are a huge turnoff. Is this ur?

Lol that's definitely me. I subconsciously leave Nicolette gum everywhere 😳😳. I'm always get told off for it 😁

To save water - in places where it is scarce - they use this rhyme:
"If it's yellow let it mellow
If it's brown, flush it down"
I must admit I used to do this when we lived in a house with a water meter.
My DCs are horrified when I tell them about "the old days" (when they were 3)

A loo full of gum will end up stuck to your bum?

I don't flush every time either. I'm an anxious/slightly OCD pisser and I "go" in batches- specially at night or when leaving the flat. Only needs flushing at the end of a session.

We have a water meter and noisy pipes so definitely do the 'if it's yellow' over night. No gum in the loo though.

Honestly OP if something as small as this is pissing you off I think I would have to question if I was happy with him tbh .

"If it's yellow..." rules in this house.
FiL is a chemical engineer who has spent his entire career designing reed beds to clean up sewage in developing countries. DH and I both do other environmental engineering of sorts. Too much understanding of the resources that go into clean water to waste it. Also "A long shower is a bad shower".

I see these vans around regularly.

How about:
Flush the toilet or I will fucking divorce you.

I think I too have a future in the toilet art business.

If it's gum, flush, don't run!

If it's a tampon, hide before you die and go to hell Wink

yanbu if worried it will be gathering in a bend and sticking to limescale and toilet paper and making a giant minging blob. If you have asked him to flush he should flush. ugh

It won't block the toilet will it?

I would break my no twee quotes rule to have that on a sign Oysterbabe Grin
