To find this disgusting?

I don't know how to start. My DP has some unsavoury habits, but mostly I overlook them because he's basically a decent bloke.
This afternoon I was in the garden and heard my DD (17) shouting at him. This is most unusual. It turns out he was exfoliating his feet, sitting at his desk in the office, and he had fetched the baking tray from the oven to let the bits of skin fall on to. DD said it was disgusting, and he promised to wash it. She shouted at him again, took the tray off him and chucked it on the pile of stuff waiting to go to the tip.
I'm with her. Surely no-one can think she was BU?
P has retreated to the shed - I shall bring it up with him later.

Later? I wouldn't be having him back in the house - he clearly isn't house trained. Or hasn't even evolved yet!!

Oh, that just made me laugh out loud Grin

Blerch, my mother in law used to use her washing up bowl to soak off her dried skin on her feet . Made me want to vomit 🤮

Agentornika · 14/08/2018 17:17

Gross, but not as gross as my D(dickhead) partner using one of my fancy new chef's knives to pick dog shit out of the grooves of his trainers...over the fucking sink

He used a wooden spatula to scrape off some limescale from the loo cistern the other day. I wrote 'not for food' on it in permanent marker.

YANBU. Couldn’t he have used some newspaper? Or done it in the bathroom sitting on the edge of the bath?

RedPill · 14/08/2018 17:26

LTB!

HoleyCoMoley · 14/08/2018 17:28

I'd have baked them and served them up to him as parmesan crisps.

Iloveacurry · 14/08/2018 17:30

Absolutely disgusting!

jemihap · 14/08/2018 17:37

I remember many years ago my dad had athletes foot and he decided the solution was to regularly bathe his feet in a bowl of Dettol and water... using the plastic washing up bowl!

Not only that, once he'd finished bathing his feet he'd pour the water away into the kitchen sink and all over any pots and cutlery that were sat in there waiting to be washed up.

GrinGrin he’s nasty and If he can’t see he’s nasty then he needs help.

Geez - what a vomit inspiring thread

katielouise3 · 14/08/2018 17:44

Sorry but I couldn't get past this.

LTB.

Perfectly fucking foul. He probably wipes his shitty arse on the towel too, and his dick cheese on your pillowcase. Grim. As. FUCK!

DarlingNikita · 14/08/2018 17:48

It's a bit grim, but taking it to the tip is an overreaction. It just needs a wash in hot soapy water.

Nebularin · 14/08/2018 17:50

I couldn't cope with this! I sound utterly pathetic but it makes me feel queasy reading this.

I can only imagine what else he does.

Rebecca36 · 14/08/2018 17:50

Horrible! Bathrooms are for things like that and certainly no baking trays. An old empty ice cream container should be presented to him pronto!

ALongHardWinter · 14/08/2018 17:52

I once witnessed someone (thankfully not a family member) cleaning dog shit off their shoes. In the kitchen sink. With the sponge that was used for washing dishes. Then,putting the sponge back on the side of the sink afterwards! Envy (not envy)This was in their own house,so I couldn't really comment,but I just made a mental note to disinfect the plate first never eat there again.

AveABanana · 14/08/2018 17:54

Nothing tops discovering my uni housemate washing his pants in the kItchen sink - with the washing up brush.

He thought it was acceptable. Perhaps to hand wash your clothes in the sink, yes, but not with the same washing up brush every one else used to wash the dishes!! And it was mid year so fuck knows how long we'd been eating off his bum crumb plates.

So gross but the way you put it had me bent double laughing Grin

OP, lock him in the shed!

buckingfrolicks · 14/08/2018 17:57

I don't find that disgusting. The bits of skin are dry so won't affect anything. They'd be tipped in the bin. Wash the baking tray. Bingo.

What's the issue? I really am at a loss as to why it's so nasty?

Melliphant · 14/08/2018 17:57

supersop60 - you do know that the cistern just contains water, don't you? Clean water? Cleaning the toilet pan with a wooden spatula would be revolting, cleaning the cistern with it is just resourceful. I don't think there is a tailor made tool for the job.

As far as the baking tray goes - unusual and unpleasant, but I'd have thought that a wash and heating to oven temperatures would suffice. We bake pigs' skin in ovens then eat it, is your DP's skin worse than pig skin?

FusionChefGeoff · 14/08/2018 17:57

The baking tray is gross but yes, a good wash and it would be fine!

Also don't get the shock and horror about using a washing up bowl for soaking feet - presumably they don't use the same water for the next load of dishes and it is swilled our first??!

You are washing dirty dishes in it - not sterilising medical equipment!!
