Don't want DH sitting on kitchen island/worktops - AIBU?

[BearBirdBaboon]

Do the adults who live in your house sit ON the kitchen island or worktops?

YABU - it's OK for them to sit on the kitchen island/worktops
YANBU - they should sit somewhere else

I think it's odd, I've never seen anyone do that! Can he not sit on a chair or stool?

I wouldn't care as long as it's not his bare bum on it.

@Chelsea26 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, so polite

Whew

😂 love this @FreezyFreezy

I’d be amazed if my dh could get up onto the worktop, walking stick and all!

I do if I'm in the kitchen and want to sit down.

There's a certain guy abandon (is one allowed to use that phrase any more?) about sitting on a worktop. And the jumping up there is part of the fun. So yes, even at my grand old age, I still do these sometimes. And no the food doesn't get prepared directly on the same surface, we use a chopping board.
As for not putting phones on the kitchen table .... so glad I'm not part of that household. I'm sure the newspaper that lives there would vanish pretty quickly 😬

*gay abandon of course. I might have known that autocorrect wouldn't like it!

I often sit on the counter while waiting for stuff to cook or to have a quick breakfast.

Hygeine aside, I'd be more worried about someone damaging the units underneath or the mastic (depending on set up). A 12 stone man on a worktop, nope.

Shouldn't put that much weight on them, so no.

Guy A'Bandon is the hero in my new romance novel

Is it his kitchen too?

Just seems uncouth and try hard

I'm assuming like this.

Shitty upgrade seems to have taken away moving gifs. Oh well.

I occasionally shit on the table though

😂😂😂

I don't think the OP mentioned anything about her DH being naked 🤷‍♀️

Meh, couldn't get worked up about it. But then this is MN, the land of 6 showers a day, washing towels after each use, and I'm fairly sure I read once that a MNetter lays a towel down before sex, so MN accepted levels of hygiene are off the charts half the time.

Worktops are for plates and glasses, not for people's dirty arses

I keep a handy spray bottle of Dettol in the porch - guests are required to give themselves an all over soaking before they are allowed over the threshold.

Me either. Has never once occurred to me.

In our kitchen you’d just hit your head on a shelf or cupboard anyway.

Personally I've installed a de-contamination shower at the front door and also require people to burn their outside clothes before they change into a hazmat suit. You can never be too careful.
