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.

That's disgusting but the thread subject isn't as disgusting? Alright.

Supersop, if your DP is putting Curanail on his toenails every night and they're not improving, get him to the GP for some oral antifungals. It can take six months to a year on those to clear the problem up - the paint-on stuff has no chance. Also, burn his socks and shoes and get him some new ones.

Had a bit of a think about using a baking tray to catch skin shavings and it's actually a sound idea. It can sit nicely on the floor just beneath the offending feet, perfect surface area, no need to risk your neck trying to do it over a bathtub... good plan! He should fish it out of the rubbish and use it as his own dedicated dead-skin-catcher.

I think the OP should grab it out of the bin and wrap it for Xmas for her Dh.

I am in the give-it-a-thorough-hot-wash-and-it'll-be-fine camp.
