Summary of events:
- In hotel room with new(ish) partner.
- Go to make myself a cup of tea, ask if he wants one.
- His eyes widen and he yelps 'No! Don't use that! People wee in them!'
- I have never heard this and say something along the lines of 'What? Why would anyone wee in the kettle? There is an ensuite.'
- He says that everyone knows you should never use the kettle in your hotel room because people wee in them 'and worse'.
- I tell him I'm going to take my chances and make a cup of tea (although I boil it out once first to be on the safe side).
- He looks repulsed and says 'I can't believe you're doing that, that's disgusting, I didn't think you were like that' (basically how I'd expect him to react if I actually did a wee (or 'worse') in the hotel kettle myself.
- We go out later for an after-dinner walk and he points at a dog poo and says 'look, there's your dessert.'
- We are getting ready for bed and he picks up kettle and asks me if I want a cup of wee to take to bed.
So, question, in case you haven't guessed: is weeing into the hotel kettle 'a thing' (in which case IABU for making a cup of tea in what is essentially a toilet) or is my partner being weirdly OTT about this? Girls group chat theories have so far ranged from he's an extreme germophobe (red flag) to he's testing my reaction because he's 'into' poo and wee related 'activities' (also a red flag) to he wees in hotel kettles himself (also a red flag).
The only non-red flag is that he's right and people are weeing into their hotel kettles left right and centre which would be a a green flag for him but a red flag for the rest of society. I'm not really sure what outcome I'm hoping for here. Help me out?
