If someone has just had a bath and a family members wants to use the same water, but the person who has had the bath before (their water) doesn't want them to, but the family member who wants to use the water doesn't care it's dirty, do they still get to use it?

Erm...

I can't really see what harm it would do; on it's own, to be honest. It's really not worth stressing over... it's like something I'd have argued with my sisters about aged 8.

Why doesn't the person who has had a bath use their brain and remove the plug?

DailyMailDontStealMyThread · 17/04/2018 21:15

The bath runner and first user may have wee’d in it and doesn’t want to admit it?

Are the users children or adults?

Person No1 has obviously pissed in the bath. Manky clert.

I don’t understand why person one would care if person two wanted to get in the bath once they’d finished...,,but if it’s a real issue for them, yes, just pull the plug out!
Bit weird to be bothered though Confused

Pull t'plug

MrsTerryPratchett · 17/04/2018 21:17

I think this is one of those cases where everyone has to agree. Also, there's something in that water...

AlexanderandPie · 17/04/2018 21:18

It's a teenager (not an adult) and an adult.

Why doesn't the first person want the second person to use their water I don't understand why once some one has got out the bath they care about what happens to the water.

Also if the water is cold and dirty then yes why doesn't the first pull the plug.

Unsure why this is an issue

Arapaima · 17/04/2018 21:18

Strange. Why would the person who’s just used the bath water care?! It sounds like they are deliberately winding up the other person (are they siblings by any chance?!) so I think they should leave the water.

MyKingdomForBrie · 17/04/2018 21:18

Person 1 clearly has no environmental conscience.

Frankly I think 1 is being selfish for no reason, what does it matter to them.

I use my baby’s bath water quite often.

felicitythemangyfox · 17/04/2018 21:18

Does the original user of the bath water feel self conscious about their dirt or possibly (sorry, bit ick) bodily fluids? Would the anticipation of future embarrassment stop them enjoying their bath?

user1493413286 · 17/04/2018 21:18

There’s a reason they don’t want to share the water....

ScreamingValenta · 17/04/2018 21:18

Is the household on a water meter?

melissasummerfield · 17/04/2018 21:19

Yabu wanting to get in a teenagers dirty bath water 🤢

Zeze247 · 17/04/2018 21:19

They’ve had a wank or a pee in the bath and don’t want to admit it!!

whatapickl · 17/04/2018 21:19

Manky clert 😂

unintentionalthreadkiller · 17/04/2018 21:19

Teenage boy?

AlexanderandPie · 17/04/2018 21:19

No, girl.

I’m going to say this sensitively.

if the teenager is male I would imagine he has had a wank and doesn’t want the adult to be lounging in his semen.

LeilaBriggs · 17/04/2018 21:20

Yuck! That’s disgusting! Why does the second person want to use the bath water?

Posted too late! That’s my hypothesis out of the window...

CoolGirlsNeverGetAngry · 17/04/2018 21:21

When I was younger I was bothered about my younger sibling having my bathwater during my period. Maybe it’s this?

GreenStars · 17/04/2018 21:21

Surely the baths cold now after faffing around asking on here.

I wouldn't get in anyone's grubby bathwater, that seems a bit gross. I'd also think it was odd if someone wanted to use my old bathwater.
