To think you can't always control where you're sick?

[NoHolidaysforyou]

Ok so this is another where it's my DH vs me.

The other day I was sick and grabbed an empty water bottle which I threw up in and then put the whole thing in the rubbish bin.

My husband today takes the bottle out of the rubbish bin, rinses it out and puts it in the recycling. He makes all sorts of comments that upset me, "Eww what was that??"

I proceed to call him weird and say I threw it in the rubbish because I was sick. He says that I shouldn't have thrown up in a water bottle. I say you can't control it sometimes and it was better to be in a water bottle than on the floor. He has annoyed me to no end with this, recycling is important but if I have been sick then just leave that 1 water bottle in the rubbish.

AIBU to think you can't control where your sick sometimes and if you have a water bottle full of sick, it's ok to throw it in with the rubbish?

I felt sick during a meal in a restaurant- rushed to the toilet, there was only one and it was engaged - threw up in my hands waiting outside. So so embarrassing

I was in a train and needed to be sick. It was packed and people were standing in the doorways. Managed to fight through to the loo, drop to my knees and throw up spectacularly then reach a hand up to press the door close button. The door slowly slid closed hiding me from all the horrified onlookers.

I usually can manage to control it, but last time I threw up, I ran outside and vomited on the lawn because I knew I wouldn't make it to the bathroom in time.

If you manage to contain it somewhere where it doesn't need to be cleaned up, job done, really. Water bottle sounds perfect!

I've never not made it to a loo if I'm sick. I can't understand it when people are just happy to chuck all over themselves/the floor. However, I'm impressed you managed to contain it to a bottle, my mind is boggled.

I always make it to the toilet to be sick (plenty of experience due to anxiety).
But I understand that it might not be the same for everyone - can't begin to imagine how you managed to puke in a water bottle!

I can't understand it when people are just happy to chuck all over themselves/the floor.

I doubt anyone is happy about it

Sometimes you get 5 seconds warning, 3 of which are spent looking for a plastic bag, 2 of which are making a dash for the toilet and yes, sometimes, you just spew everywhere.

I think that if it was the sort of vomit that would go into a water bottle, I would have washed the bottle out and recycled it.

My abusive ex was like this with recycling. Handwashed every single piece of recycling. Went through all bins, I had no privacy and felt disgusting and encroached upon. It was obsessive and unnecessary. I'm a freak about recycling but a rinse and then binning it is fine and in the case of sick in a bottle (how the heck did you do that, impressive) it would be binned. And the binbag would be put out into the big bin outside. Possibly burnt, who knows 😂

I'm rarely sick but when i am i usually sense before its going to happen and get the official "sickbowl" that started life as a top and tail bowl used about 5 x for PFB I'm pretty sure I'd not be able to contain in a water bottle.

Also, when you've been sick, the last thing you need is to have to clean it up. If it's not on the bed/ floor/ something like that, then hooray.

Sounds like he was trying to make a point which is weird and unsympathetic but if I used a bucket or bowl to be sick in I would wash it out so don't really see the problem with washing out a water bottle.

I take my hat off to you managing to vomit into a bottle. I always remember being at south Kensington tube station begging a guard in the office to let me into the staff toilet on the platform (start of food poisoning) they didn't let me in and to my horror I was sick mid sentence on the platform as another tube rolled in during rush hour. It Was 11 years ago and I still cringe now even though it was totallly beyond my control! So no you can't always control it!
