Ok ,so 6 weeks ago my OH was finding his pants scratchy and decided to take them of in the front room .He managed to get them into the kitchen ,where he could have put them in the now empty washing machine ,but instead opted to place them in front of the washing machine next to the dishwasher where they have been now for the past 6 weeks . Now we both know they are there, yet neither of us are prepared to move them . They have since had food dropped on them ,water spilled on them and also kicked about a bit (I've kicked them back into the gap between the dishwasher and washing machine a few times ).Just wondering if anyone can beat my record of "hubby's pants being left on the floor where he left them "?. I'm hoping they can make it there till Christmas

Just after we got married my DH came back from a weekend away (sport related hobby) and left his bag in the hall. Took out things he needed like toiletries and left it there with sweaty (expensive) sports gear in it.
Determined there was no way I was emptying it I left it and it sat there for 3 weeks.
When he couldn't ignore the smell anymore he discovered he'd left a banana in it and there were maggots everywhere. They seemed to especially like his trainers.
Everything had to be binned.
I'd like to say he never did it again but he has his moments.

All joking aside OP, have a think about why a man might think it's his partner's job to pick up his underpants from the floor where he threw them. What's his thought process on that? 'fcuk her, she can pick up my skiddies wherever I deign to chuck them.

He really does see you as his handmaid - and judging by your username, you appear to agree?

I'd be picking them up and putting them in a bin bag along with all the rest of his possessions and fucking him and his skiddies out the door.

I had to introduce a rule that only clothes that made it to the washing basket got washed. Still doesn't work, but I refuse to pick anything up off the floor.

I'd put them under his pillow, definitely.
