DH pisses around toilet

263 replies

PissoirPissedOff · 28/11/2024 21:20

We moved into our new home and the first thing I did was to clean the bathroom, including disinfecting the toilet area which was covered in mouldy spots. Within about an hour, DH had pissed all over the rim of the toilet and the floor just under the toilet had a small puddle of piss. I have asked him not to do this, just to wipe it dry when he misses the bowl. He says this is not his job.

I'm not particularly OCD about this sort of thing, I just like a clean bathroom and would prefer to clean it just once a week rather than daily/hourly.

I AM being unreasonable = This is beyond the scope of what is expected of a normal male in his own home.

I am NOT being unreasonable = Why can't he just make that small effort (quick wipe with tissues) so that I don't have to clean the toilet every day, and to save me getting my toes wet in a puddle of his piss?

Baby or dog?

Dirty bastard.

I think I'd go on strike.

My dh occasionally misses but he cleans up after himself.

OP you are obviously married to an actual Tom Cat disguised as your husband-they piss all over the place but are meticulous in other areas of their lives - I therefore strongly suggest that you sprinkle cat litter around the base of the toilet as it will help to soak up the urine and help deodorise the stench the stale urine will be causing. If you need to wipe the seat dry before you use it yourself use his flannel/ clean trousers or favourite shirt and don’t tell him.
I’m fairly certain the cat litter technique will make him reappraise his feline/ disgusting tendencies.

Codlingmoths · 28/11/2024 23:50

Not his job??? Whose fucking job is it then?? When you married him, had he said ‘and do you promise to clean up my piss because as an adult male I’m too fucking busy and special to either aim or wipe it up’ Would you have said ‘I do’ or ‘that’s me out then and you can fuck right off, you need an aged care nurse not a wife’. I hope it’s the latter!! And I hope you do show him this post. I go nuts at my 6 and 9 year old boys, if it were my husband I’d send him out to the garden and he can come back into a civilised house only once he has a plan for delivering on the challenging and complex task of wiping up his own piss.

ClairDeLaLune · 28/11/2024 23:52

It’s not his job??? Fucking hell he thinks that little of you that he believes it’s your job to clean up his piss?? What a massively entitled twat he is. He has no respect for you at all OP. How can you bear to sleep with him? Or even be in the same room as him. This would be a huge deal breaker for me, please please leave the cunt.

PissoirPissedOff · 28/11/2024 22:38

He knows I clean the bathroom once a week and doesn't see why it can't wait until then.

He thinks his piss could stay on the floor for a week? He’s fucking rank 🤢 🤮

Smallsalt · 29/11/2024 00:01

Get one of his shirts, wipe the piss off the floor with it and clean the toilet as well. Leave wet stinking shirt on floor. Every Single Time.

I love how guilty that baby looks 😂

LivelyMintViper · 29/11/2024 00:06

If he is that sure there is nothing wrong with his behaviour then he wont object to you conducting a straw pole amongst his friends and family will he? ( But I bet he will!) He knows damn well it's disgusting and I bet he doesn't want anyone else knowing about it

Onthemaintrunkline · 29/11/2024 00:20

He’s a dirty disgusting pig. Loved the suggestion up thread that you use his towel/toothbrush to mop it up. Although why you should be going anywhere near it beats me! Put a lock on the door and bar him from using it, tell him to make other arrangements.

HeadacheEarthquake · 29/11/2024 00:25

New thought. Do you have a nearby forest? He can go and piss there, instead of the bathroom.

Fernticket · 29/11/2024 00:48

Just tell him to Piss Off.

FloofyKat · 29/11/2024 00:54

Oi, husband of OP, if you are reading this, stop being a dick and clean up after yourself! And yes, it Is Your Job!

NameChangeHelpPls · 29/11/2024 01:08

Sometimes I hate men.

RogueFemale · 29/11/2024 01:08

I'm surprised you have to ask on here. Did you imagine everyone saying yes that's completely okay for your DH to expect you to clean up his piss?!

No. It's grotesque.

And it's not your job.

I have a rule that men who live here/are family, sit down to pee.

They protested a bit to start with, but are now on board.

And life is easier for whoever cleans the bathrooms.

ffsfindmeausername · 29/11/2024 01:13

He's taking the piss.

Howmanywishescanastargive · 29/11/2024 01:14

That's disgusting. I'd clean it up with an item of his clothing.

If he can't aim properly, and can't clean up after himself then why doesn't he sit down?

sandyhappypeople · 29/11/2024 01:19

Lourdes12 · 28/11/2024 23:28

Clean it up with his towel and toothbrush, see how he likes that

This is the only acceptable response to the problem, or soak it up with a sponge and squeeze it into his tea/coffee.

... selfish prick.

Tequilamakesmehappy · 29/11/2024 01:20

Not his job?

Is he a 6 year old child? Even then I would be explaining that they need to clean up what they do not hit!

Honestly, wake up and do not take such bullshit...this can not be real? Who the hell puts up with this in 2024? You make the mess, as an adult?! Clean it up!

Caerulea · 29/11/2024 01:20

OK, I've a suggestion (obvs I've also got a lot of 'what the actual FUCK' too).

I did this for my children (children!!), lengths of toilet paper placed around the loo & with sharpie I wrote things like 'PISS FREE ZONE' & "NO URINE HERE!'

It actually worked cos it meant they had a visual indicator with the tissue getting wet & so it trained them to aim better.

But OP...' not my job'? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

Frozensun · 29/11/2024 01:29

PissoirPissedOff · 28/11/2024 23:11

I honestly don't think he'd notice or care.

In other areas of life he is meticulous.

It's very odd.

Easy - clean it up with a tissue and pop it on his pillow (with plastic under it, of course). Just giving back what’s yours.

TerrorAustralis · 29/11/2024 01:52

PissoirPissedOff · 28/11/2024 22:35

Because it's what men do, apparently....?!?!!

No it’s not. Neither my DH or my teenage DS do this, because they are not animals. DS hasn’t done it since he was about 4!

I’d call his parents and ask why they didn’t toilet train him properly, because he can’t get his wee wees in the toilet.

MissTrip82 · 29/11/2024 02:14

There is no way, no way, that this is a considerate respectful person. Literally pissing on the floor and walking away leaving it for someone else to clean it up.

This is a shit person.

WolfFleece · 29/11/2024 02:21

Fucking grim. I’d warn him that the next time it happens, seeing as it’s ’your job’ apparently to clean it up, you’ll be carrying out said task with one of his clean items of clothing, before returning it to his drawer/wardrobe. Maybe he’ll get the hang of it pretty sharpish when he has to play pissy clothes roulette every morning.
