Dog poo knife

DH has ‘dared’ me to post this, so convinced he is you’ll be on his side…

DS stood in dog poo, DH said he scraped it off using a dinner knife out of the kitchen drawer. I said wtf - hope that knife’s in the bin now?! No says he - dishwasher, or actually kitchen sink, waiting to go in dishwasher.

AIBU to think this is a shitshow and he should have put it in the bin (if it makes a difference our knife collection is on the ‘eclectic’ side so it wouldn’t be mucking up a ‘set’ to chuck one), or is he right that a quick wash and then back in gobs 🤢 is fine?!

@BreadmanAndCake my first thought too!

Hollysbush - What's a sick spoon?

Barbara did exactly this in The Royle family when Anthony's mate Darren trod dog shit into the house. She did it over the kitchen sink 🤣

Lulu2021 · 15/10/2021 18:24

🤢 I hope this is a joke. Straight in the bin with that knife!

monarchoftheglen · 15/10/2021 18:26

I'd bin it, definitely.
Our cat pissed in a frying pan once, DH wanted to wash it and keep it that pan went straight into the bin

mountbattenbergcake · 15/10/2021 18:28

And who is supposed to wash it in the sink and put it in the dish washer? You?

doublemonkey · 15/10/2021 18:28

Fucking disgusting!

And if he thought it was ok why didn't he wash it already?? 🤮💩

RobertsRadio · 15/10/2021 18:29

In our house this would now become the dog poo knife and be kept outside with the blade stuck in a plant pot filled with earth.
It would not be sitting in the kitchen sink waiting to go in the dishwasher. 🤢 The man is a fool.

Callybrid · 15/10/2021 18:30

I now feel revulsed by all knives everywhere, as they will remind me of this sorry story… I am going to have to cut everything up with a fork and pretend my knife-hand has stopped being functional

DrManhattan · 15/10/2021 18:32

Bin. Wouldn't have it in the house. I'd have to get rid of my washing up bowl and bleach the fuck out of everything in sight. So totally gross.

DangerousCity · 15/10/2021 18:33

LTBGrin im in team keep it for other non-food uses!

GoldChick · 15/10/2021 18:36

Clean in bucket in garden then keep for future dog poo use. Maybe label it.

Bipbopbee · 15/10/2021 18:37

That is GRIM
Why did he not use a stick ?! That’s what I’ve done with shoes in the past, poke out with worst … then leave them outside, pour some hot soapy water over them and wipe with a tissue

gnushoes · 15/10/2021 18:41

Bleach and wash then dishwasher. No poo crumbs will survive that. He does it all though.
Mad choice of implement though.

AnxiousPixie · 15/10/2021 18:42

If he is ok with it Mark it with a bit of nail polish and always make sure it's at his setting 😉

GoldChick · 15/10/2021 18:43

Haha yes and make sure you refer to it as the dog shit knife each time.
Silverswirl · 15/10/2021 18:46

Grim grim grim. And if he had put it in the dishwasher and then back in the drawer the entire set of cutlery would have to go as I wouldn’t know which knife it was.
It would be binned or put in the garage as a tool or similar

Coffeeonmytoffee · 15/10/2021 18:47

Gross

Mamamamasaurus · 15/10/2021 18:49

I'm slightly baffled by the replies on here. SOO many posters admitted washing their dog's bowls in the dishwasher but find this gross.

I KNOW this is poo we're talking about but dogs lick themselves and then eat. So there's probably poo crumbs on their bowl. Or the plate you're let them lick clean. That's fine to go in the dishwasher though?

Helpimfalling · 15/10/2021 18:51

My husbands on his side but I would have to use it as a forever shit scraper knife

I was sick once in a mug I couldn't make the sink I'm ashamed I know and he (DH) wanted to keep the mug after A wash

I had to throw it I could never let my poor unsuspecting kids drink out of it

nancybotwinbloom · 15/10/2021 18:52

No I couldn't use it. I can't use a spider glass again it's on its own in a separate cupboard

Idbemonica1 · 15/10/2021 18:52

As soon as I started to read this i thought please God don't let him have used a knife from the kitchen draw 🤢🤢🤢.

Lonelycrab · 15/10/2021 18:53

Bit ott some of these replies. Nuke the knife from orbit isn’t really necessary.

As a pp said, it’s wasteful. And realistically a scrub with boiling water and bleach will leave zero poo.

Useful tool for decorating and gardening in a few ways.

holidaynearlyover · 15/10/2021 18:54

@BreadmanAndCake

This just reminds me of the scene in the Royle Family where Barbara is over the sink chipping dog shit off a trainer with a knife Envy
Exactly what I was going to say!!
MrsRobbieHart · 15/10/2021 18:54

🤮🤮🤮

Make that DHs special knife. Only to be washed outside, by him, after he has eaten his dinner with it.
