WIBU Me or DH?

[RockinHippy]

Lighthearted - ish

Having a debate with DH over "Bucketgate" & he wont have it he is in the wrong, so he has just told me to put our debate on here to see who is nuts BU, so I am

I have a bucket, a nice shiny, like new, clean, bright green bucket, that is my go to bucket if DD or I are ill. Its MY bucket & its not old, manky & smelly & very old like a couple of buckets that DH insists on keeping. DD & I are both smell sensitive (SPD). So prefer a nice clean, non smelly bucket on the odd occasion we are ill. I would also use it for clean things, such as soaking laundry in etc.

Just caught DH using MY shiny green bucket, for cleaning out his shitty fish tank water. He insists that he wont spoil it as he will wash it out properly afterwards. He has measured out water volume marks & written on the side of my shiny happy green bucket, in black indelible marker Marks he admits he wont wash off as he took ages carefully measuring out the water to the correct amount.

So basically he has 2 crappy old buckets, that he could clean out properly & use to clean his shitty fish tank water out with, but no he has "borrowed" my shiny clean bucket instead, with no real intention of putting it back in its original condition as he doesn't want to clean off the black marker pen.

SOOOOOooooooOoOOoooo...

AIBU for not wanting to share my nice, shiny, clean, bucket with DH, so he can clean his shitty fish tank water, when he has crappy buckets all of his own & "Nuts" for telling him off for helping himself??

OR IHBU for commandeering my lovely bucket, without asking with no real intentions of returning it to its original state??

I agree, HeCant, Glass is super hygienic as it's so easy to clean.

Fascinated by people's vomit practicalities. Why use a carrier bag?

Will nobody think of the (now vomiting) fish?!

I'm confused?

Why is he still breathing?

Sickness is touch wood rare in this house but having had to redecorate an entire bathroom,including flooring when DH sprayed sick on every surface of the 1.8m X 1.8m bathroom (he'd run from the bedroom next door) we do have glass mixing bowls that get used as sick bowls if required.

Eww, any puke bucket would note be my 'best' bucket. Gross.

LTB

How often do you and DD get sick enough that you're vomiting???

I'd be more concerned about the fact that it's enough that you need a special sick bucket.

This thread made me realise we actually have a chuckit bucket, too.

I lost my shit one night when I started to be sick overnight and looked for my bucket at 2am

Nice double meaning! I hope the lost/loose shit made it down the toilet at least...

Not really getting the fine distinction between vomit (OK) and shitty water (not OK).

But it seems unfair on the fish to be using a vomitty bucket.

Its not so much having a designated sick bucket because you need it so often but so that you you know exactly where it is, that its clean and can be grabbed quickly. These things rarely come with a warning!

The last thing you need is to be ferreting about in the shed for it, and not be sure that its in a usable condition, when there is a distinct possibility of vomitting from one end whilst dealing with a brown monsoon from the other......

We use our sick bucket about once a year, but the point is that I can put my hand on it even in the dark if needs be, thats the whole point of having it.

All buckets should be held in common and distributed by need. So op is BU!
Men must stick together!

engineersthumb Oo I just bet thats your attitude when it comes to screwdrivers.

And orgasms....

LTB for wanton bucket abuse. Poor bucket, treat it to a nice warm fill up with Flash All Purpose or if you're feeling really generous some of your fave bubble bath.

Use his favourite pint glass or tea mug for, ahem, spillages.

This thread rocks...who thought I'd learn a new name for a sick bowl at 43? As of now it's the chuckit bucket. Thanks Paxillin

People who vomit in buckets take yourself off to the toilet. Lazy.

I think you're being a bit precious about your bucket tbh

HIBU, but put the bucket in the dishwasher it will be fine.

fuck off with go ot the toilet thing, it is not the law.

we have several receptacles for vomit if required. useful when there is synchronised vomitting going on. (three people being sick simultaneously while the bringer of the infection is blissfully unaware) and we tend not to be able to tell when it is coming and do not want to spend a couple of hours in the bathroom waiting fr the inveitable.

He is bu.

pink is the way to go. (sadly) can you use some of his precious items for other things to remind him

Jedi
the screwdrivers are mine! :)

I need a new sick recepticle, this has reminded me!

HIBVVVU. I abhor vomiting in the toilet. Makes me feel even more vile.
