AIBU....or is this wierd?!

I've only just noticed that after cleaning his teeth, my DP dries his toothbrush on a towel before putting it in the pot. Whereas I rinse mine off and put it straight back in the pot.

AIBU or is he a total weirdo?!

I always rinse and dry my toothbrush off, otherwise it just leaves water dripping everywhere. I knew that not everyone does this as my DP and kids don’t do it and their toothbrushes are always covered in toothpaste and they always cover the sink in water. I wish they did do it!

I only dry mine if I have just cleaned my teeth and am packing my toiletries bag to go away, so it isn't all wet when it goes in there.

Rinse it, shake it and stand it up. Don't wipe it on a towel, that is certainly odd.

lol never heard of drying a toothbrush in the towel.

I have never heard of anyone drying their toothbrush.

It’s important to know what towel he’s using? I wouldn’t want to use the towel someone had dried their arse on, nor would I want to use a towel someone had dried their toothbrush on.

I air dry my toothbrush too and I can also confirm that I have never had a mouldy toothbrush.

This is utterly bizarre. I have never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life. Okay so if it's so normal to dry toothbrushes how come it's NEVER portrayed in adverts or movies!!?

I dry mine (give it a few shakes, dry the stem). My husband does not and it’s crusted with so much gunk it’s disgusting.

Just because I don’t wipe my toothbrush on a towel doesn’t mean it is covered in gunk! Maybe the real weirdos are people who don’t rinse off the toothpaste after use...

Never ever heard of someone drying toothbrush on a towel before. Doesn’t it make the toothbrush go fluffy?

I’m a in-the-pot sort of a gal.

I always dry the handle of my electric toothbrush and DP doesn't, his gets horrible mould on the bottom and I spend ages cleaning it! It drives me insane that he doesn't dry it, it's so easy!

I dry mine or the gunky stuff gets in the side by the sink or in the bottom of the holder.

I always dry mine on a towel

I'd be pissed off if someone dried their toothbrush on the hand towel. I give mine a shake and might wipe off any excess water with my dry hand like a normal person. YANBU.

I'm with those who don't - drying your toothbrush on a towel is definitely weird behaviour, never even heard of that as being a thing!

I've never heard of anyone drying their toothbrush.

I always dry my toothbrush then put it away in the case (can't bear the thought of any bugs landing on it!)

Bankers. Yes water gets in the toothbrush mug but that gets washed properly once a week like the rest of the bathroom.

BONKERS not bankers obviously

To all the people who have never ever heard of anyone doing this, how would you know?!? Do you discuss your toothbrush routine with friends regularly?! I dry mine but have certainly never mentioned that to anyone!

And to all the people concerned about butt to brush contamination, I dry the handle, not the bristles.
