Protein fucking shakes

Both DH and I go to the gym.

DH likes to have a protein shake of a morning as it’s easier than making breakfast.

He’s got one of those whizzy things that you put water in then drop the powder in.

I don’t have a problem with this as such. But. Without. Fail. Every. Time. He. Will. Spill. The. Fucking. Powder. On. The. Worktop. And. Not. Clean. It. Up.

Bu the time I get home from work (DH also wfh full time) it’s welded itself in a chocolatey (or whatever flavour) mess to the worktop, or the rim of the washing machine (if he makes it there) or even the floor.

Even the dog won’t touch the stuff.

AIBU if I sling the whole fucking lot out. Or would sprinkling it liberally on his desk on a Friday night so he finds it there. Welded. On Monday morning a more fitting punishment for over a year of bloody powdery spills.

I like them. I manage to make mine without spilling the powder all over the place. There's only me to clean up if I do.

Why can't a grown man clean up after himself?

And why has he been allowed to pull this shit for over a year?

I raise you - beard hairs all over the bathroom sink after every shave (dh, not me).

Including embedded into the soap in its soap dish. Scattered onto my rings dish.

Dd even double checked her toothbrush the other day for beard hairs. Her toothbrush!

He's good at cleaning the kitchen surfaces, just can't do his beard hairs in the bathroom. No idea how/why they fly out in all directions when he shaves

It’s shite it really is. I’ve managed to train most things out of him after 20+ years together, but this is new (ish) and means the training has to start again, but I don’t know if I’ve got the patience to train it into him again.

Buy him a tray to stand his blender on.

I hear you. It's like cement. My DS does the same. If he doesn't put the shaker in soak, I do not wash it up. What the hell is it doing to their insides?!

Not so much "protein fucking shakes" as "yet another fucking lazy, oblivious man to whom it's never occurred that he should clean up after himself."

christ, so many useless men.
handheld hoover. Insist he uses it if a cloth is beyond him. Would take 5 seconds!
