Grin

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 Grin

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 Hmm 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??

HIBU and buys you a new bucket.

I am emetophobic and smelling something else would make it far worse. In fact fish smells can cause me to heave in any case.

It's better for your fish that he keeps the bucket he's used and buys you a new one.

If I was ever sick on any household object apart from a toilet I would hope it got binned and set on fire. I do not own a bucket.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 29/11/2016 12:23

That's a bit OTT, Pistachio! Do you also throw out anything that's had raw chicken on it rather than just assuming that a really good hot wash will kill any nasties?

Aah this sounds like my Partner to me. I bought lovely raw coconut oil for my face and hair, it went missing and I found it in his smelly fishing bag. Then I bought some fresh local honey for me , he has eaten most of it and also suggested he use it on his boilies (fishing bait) Then I bought some unisom sleeping tablets as I was having trouble getting to sleep, they disappeared really quick as he was taking one each night. I feel your pain

DS used my favourite mug for painting with watercolours. WIBU to put him up for adoption?

We have a sick bowl, it's a specially purchased washing up bowl.

It lives under DDs bed when not in use.

Having had a household with norovirus one year it's invaluable.

I killed my fish by using a bucket I also used for cleaning - it just didn't occur to me that I needed to use a dedicated bucket. Sad

TheCakes · 29/11/2016 15:22

We had exactly the same thing, only he took it a step further and complained when I gave DS the 'fish bucket' to puke in!!

Realise that this may be missing the point but hairspray gets permanent marker off just about anything...
