Husband blows nose in the shower

42 replies

If my husband is out in the garden or out jogging he blows his by placing one finger over his nostril and clears out the other one.He does the same when washing his face on while in the shower.
It really bugs me!!It's disgusting!!I'd be embarrassed if anyone had to use our shower.There is "snot" all over the glass door.Husband has bad eye sight so can't see it.
Is this a normal male habit,am I overreacting?

That's a postman's sneeze. Don't know why

😂😂😂No he doesn't spit in the street but he does make a strange noise with his throat because he has an itch deep down in his ear canal!!!
Thanks ladies.Really enjoyed showing my husband this post.He said that he'd clean the shower tomorrow....

He obviously does spit in the street with snot while he is jogging. 🤮

Spitting snotting anywhere but a tissue is rank. Any man I pass or stand near who spits or snots gets evil dagger looks from me.

I can't believe he is waiting until tomorrow to clean mucus he injected in the shower. 🤮

This is one thing that absolutely disgusts me. My dad used to do it when I stayed at home and the sink would be covered in jelly balls of snot.
I’m actually gagging typing this and I couldn’t put up with this.
My first ever ltb

@Wanteddownunder Jssus christ you have my sympathy. Flowers Some men completely lack any self awareness.🤮

Shoxfordian · 08/02/2020 09:49

Is he an Olympic level sportsman running so hard that it's the quick way to do it or just a gross middle aged man who occasionally goes for a jog? Either way it's gross

motherheroic · 08/02/2020 09:52

I can understand doing it in the shower because the steam loosens stuff up. But I don't understand doing it on the shower door instead of in the bath.

Dreadful. I feel for you. My husband used to expel phlegm into the bathroom basin and leave it...…………….

EmeraldShamrock · 08/02/2020 10:05

How can they leave it there. Clearly they're self absorbed.

Disfordarkchocolate · 08/02/2020 10:12

Sportsmen do. Doesn't mean he can't clean the shower.

Wanteddownunder · 08/02/2020 21:23

Thank you @EmeraldShamrock, honestly I’ve been so traumatised all day reliving that memory.

Puddypuddy · 08/02/2020 22:21

Thanks ladies.He has been shamed into cleaning the shower.It's sparkling!😂😂😂

I utterly feel sick!

OverByYer · 08/02/2020 22:56

I sometimes do a ‘snot shot’ I’d I’m out running and no one is nearby.
No time to stop and use a tissue. I do it in the shower too as the steam loosens things up.

I don’t get snot on the tiles or door though. That’s unacceptable

Smartanimal · 08/02/2020 22:57

He is disgusting and yes, a lot of men do that, I regularly see it when out and about.

BennytheBall · 08/02/2020 22:58

Kill him. Not a court in the land would convict you.

I never cease to be surprised at what some women on MN put up with...
