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.

These posts are really cheering me up.

Overreaction. Just wash the baking tray in the dishwasher.

Halfahunnerstillastunner · 14/08/2018 18:00

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

Holeycamoley is an evil genius Grin

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 14/08/2018 18:03

Oh, that just made me laugh out loud grin

Me too. Wasn't expecting that ShockGrin filthy bugger!

Iputthescrewinthetuna · 14/08/2018 18:06

I am the type of person who says 'any marriage can be worked through if both people want it' I hate divorce and broken relationships! However I am giving you a big fat LTB Now!

Also, chuck out any other baking trays you have, this will not be his first time! Envy < not envy >

Justaboutawake · 14/08/2018 18:14

He probably wipes his shitty arse on the towel too, and his dick cheese on your pillowcase.

^^Grin lol

My DD has been peeling her skin and rolling into a big ball.... for the last week. I refuse to go in her room and clean it up

TotHappy · 14/08/2018 18:25

It is a bit gross, certainly gross to watch, ut I wouldn't chuck t, just wash thoroughly. But the thing is, was he going to wash it? If not, you now have no idea what other gross things he has done to kitchen ware.

My husband regularly uses the washing P sponge for things like : Scrubbing the filthy windowsill in the kitchen, wiping up spills on the floor, and then puts it back. I once found him scrubbing out the baby's nappy pail over the kitchen sink. Eith the kitchen sponge. He didn't see what was wrong. "I'm washing it! With water! So it's not dirty!" what about the poo water that was in there you disgusting scrote??

toastedbeagle · 14/08/2018 18:26

Having terrible flashbacks to when as a teenager finding my DF cleaning out under his toenails using my earring as "it looked just the right size".

Needless to say I never wore them again. Envy

africasez · 14/08/2018 18:29

I mean I defo think it's gross but he was proactive in thinking it shouldn't go on the floor. It was something you can wash and anti bac. You're not going to get sick. I think it's sad that he's been humiliated in to hiding out!

Failingat40 · 14/08/2018 18:32

Yabu for not seeing that he at least made an effort not to shave his crusty foot skin all over the carpet. At least he used something. Grin

My dh used my good brabantia sieve as a gravel filter for his fish tank. I've found other various bits of kitchen utensils in his lair in the garage Envy

Bellabutterfly2016 · 14/08/2018 18:35

Can you divorce on grounds of being revolting?
If not I'd go for unacceptable behaviour

That's just foul he needs getting rid of

sar302 · 14/08/2018 18:38

@Failingat40 This was actually my genuine first thought 🙈 My husband bites off his fingernails and leaves them littered around the house. I'd love it if he collected them in a bowl and I could just along it through the dishwasher!

Your partner sounds like the father on Friday Night Dinner

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 14/08/2018 18:42

I wouldn’t bin it, what an overreaction.

I’ve had kids shit and puke on things I’d rather they wouldn’t, I soak my feet in the washing up bowl. So long as you use bleach and disinfectant cleaner to thoroughly clean then why does it need to be binned?

Brigante9 · 14/08/2018 18:52

So some of you know that I had a crazy eczema episode ending up in A&E with all the skin off the bottom of my skin falling off in a big sheet. So it’s been peeling ever since, 4 weeks of bits of skin falling off. I use a towel to catch what I cut off, the stuff that loosens after soaking. It mostly falls on the towel. Mostly. I figure I’ll hoover tomorrow. I scratched my hands in the car, they’re also affected, very itchy. A gentle shower of dust came off.

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

I would have grabbed the knife and stabbed him! That’s so gross I’d have puked.

vdbfamily · 14/08/2018 18:52

I am impressed that you have a DH who cares for his crusty feet. I would be more disgusted if he had not used the dish. It is dead skin.....same as dust....would you bin an oven tray that was dusty??? Complete over reaction. You are prob happy to put a piece of beef dripping in blood in the tray for cooking but not a bit of dry skin. Weird

Threewheeler1 · 14/08/2018 19:31

DH left me a present on my pillow one night, wrapped in tissue.
'Oooh, what's this?' I thought and unwrapped it...
It was his big toenail that had been making me gip since he ran a marathon and it turned black and green and started to come away from his foot.
It finally came off and he thought it was hilarious to gift it to me.
It took me a few seconds to work out what it was.
Looked like a piece of the Tollund Man bog body.
He still laughs about my reaction now Envy

threewheeler - you win.
To PP - I know it can be washed etc, but I also know that whenever I use it, I will have a vision of him scraping his feet on to it.
He has disgusting feet - I don't know how they get so dry and cracked. He also has to put Curanail on his toenails every night - a legacy from being made to wear wellies and cheap shoes as a kid.

I wonder what he does with your his toothbrush...

KinkyAfro · 14/08/2018 20:39

TheDowagerCuntess · 14/08/2018 21:03

I soak my feet in the washing up bowl.

The whole concept of a washing up bowl is foreign to me - hadn't heard of them until I arrived in the UK.

They're grim enough as it is - this new knowledge that people ALSO clean their feet in them just nails it.

🤯

Raven88 · 14/08/2018 21:13

That's gross. If it's for food you don't use it for feet etc.

Apehouse · 14/08/2018 21:15

I used to know someone who blew her nose on the tea cosy. And had a dual-purpose enamel bowl which served as kitchen waste bin most of the time and salad bowl when guests were expected. I kid you not.

flirtygirl · 14/08/2018 21:43

And that's why I dont take offered drinks at other people's houses. That's to those who think it's okay to soak their feet in the washing bowl.
