... to be miffed that dh used the sink to vomit in rather than the toilet

[hmcAsWas]

Dh was taken ill in the night - possibly food poisoning, needed to vomit twice.

Don't get me wrong I was sympathetic at the time and this morning told him not to worry I'd bleach the loo, give the toilet a wipe down with antiseptic etc ..... but then he tells me the sink might need the same treatment because the first time he was sick he used the sink.

Why would you do that? When there is a perfectly good toilet? Stupid - right?

YANBU.
I think it's lazy. It's easy to know when you are going to be sick and the 2 are next to each other generally. My DP chucked in the sink once and expected me to clean it up.
Er... no. I'm not picking someone else's vomit out of the plughole.

I used to vomit in the sink because I didn't have to stoop over too low, and so my hair wouldn't get in my face. Always cleaned up after myself though.

I'm really amazed (& horrified) that people are intentionally puking in the sink.

The whole point of puking in the toilet is that a) it's already a gross spot and b) you can flush it away.

So grim, the idea of standing there poking bits of vomit down the plug hole. Stop it at once or we
Toilet pukers will have to come round and re-educate you.

And I can hold my hair off my face quite easily while crying and puking and squatting next to the loo. Multi-task, people!

Is food poisoning contagious?

I don't get how it keeps your hair off your face to puke in the basin? You still have to lean your head forward unless you want to spray everywhere.

Am I the only one who often uses the bath? Larger area so easier to avoid spatter outside, more water pressure to wash it clean.
Also if stuck sitting on loo it's right there - and that was a factor in designing our bathroom...

I think if he's well enough to work he is well enough to clean up after his pukeathon. Wouldn't be impressed by that.
I won't puke down a toilet, don't want my face near one. Prefer to use a bowl then empty into toilet.

Yanbu. I think toilet puking needs drummed (nicely) into you from a young age

Not really thinking straight when you are puking are you?

When my teenager was last ill I managed to locate the vomit by wondering why (when I walked into his room) the carpet felt so warm, wet and well, lumpy. The thought coincided with him weakly calling out “be careful!”

Cleaning up didn’t bother me because he is my kid and by that time I was vomiting myself and trying to not add more sick to the pile.

I'm almost never sick but when it does happen I have no control over where. It's always really sudden. My friend once told me he gets about five minutes 'notice' - I can't imagine what that's like but I'd prefer it to the instavom experience. My sink got it last time because that's where I happened to be. But I would never ever expect someone else to clean it up.
