DH skid marks!!!

For Christmas I brought my DH new underwear to last him for the year. Over the past few weeks when sorting out the dirty wash i've noticed that his boxers are full of big brown skids!!!

I've never noticed this the 9 years I've been married, but it's now getting to the point where I want to approach him and talk about it because he's coming home from work and openly putting his boxers into the dirty wash, it's not even like he's embarrassed and trying to hide them!

AIBU?

I've been farted on plenty. If I had a dollar for every time I've been farted on, I'd have paid off my student loans years ago...

Jacksmama · 19/02/2010 21:35

Tell me about it. I have to smell her again this Saturday!!!!!

Cross-posted.
Ewwwwww, I'm so glad not to be a chiropractor or massage therapist.

Christ JM - there really is no excuse for that level of filth - how hard is it to take a shower? Do you think your client needs to visit you because she's physically unable to reach and wipe her own arse?

Jacksmama · 19/02/2010 21:36

No, she is actually more mobile than that... but that's a good thought, LOL! Fortunately, out of all my lovely clients, I only have two who smell .

I only NEARLY farted on an ostopath, I must emphasise that.
He commented on how tense my neck & shoulder area was. I must have been clenching VERY tightly.

Now I've had DS, I fear my elastic has gone, so I don't think I'd brave another trip to an osteopath.

Jacksmama, what do you do when clients fart?? Especially when they drop a stinker?

Eaglebird · 19/02/2010 21:43

In answer to the OP, if DP left an ocasional skiddie, I'd turn a blind eye. If it was on a daily basis, I'd buy him brown Y fronts & make him wash them himself.

SarfEasticated · 19/02/2010 22:00

I'm a bit suprised you bought your dh pants for Christmas

This is his way of getting you back I reckon!

zippyzapper · 19/02/2010 22:10

you dh might have a bowel problem - as may well as the massage therapist's client.

ManSolo · 19/02/2010 22:41

This thread is confirmation of one of my little fears... (hello, I'm new and a man...)

Once followed a bloke up a staircase and could definitely detect an unsavoury whiff... led me to much thought, and a lifetime of showering, wet wipes and the such.

The very thought of it makes me mortified... so yes, some of us (even though we might have hairy bums) have high standards.

ThatVikRinA22 · 19/02/2010 22:53

i have a very nice DH who in all other areas is fine

except this. and it drives me insane and ive mentioned it and still nothing changes

i now wash all underwear seperately and on a 60 degree wash. it does my fricking head in. but its not quite worth divorcing him - yet.

(I mean this nicely, actually.)

What do I do when clients fart? Depends on how loud the fart, how stinky, and whether the client acknowledges it.
If the fart is unavoidably loud and the client says "oh gosh, I'm sorry" I usually just say "not to worry, it happens" and continue chatting. I've had some clients do some horrible stinkers - usually by the time we both smell it, they're fire-engine-red in the face and don't know where to look. In one instance, I just casually said, "I'll turn the fan on, shall I?" and that was that. The other instance, the fart was both loud and awful, but the client said nothing - but not in a "I didn't realize I farted" way but in a "I farted, so what" kind of way - so I said somewhat pointedly "excuse you!!!" and he started and mumbled something apologetic.
But usually I just pretend it's no big deal - we all fart and I don't need to embarrass anyone.

puffling · 20/02/2010 00:06

Trickyricki - I'm on tenterhooks to know the upshot of your chat!

mathanxiety · 20/02/2010 00:22

Any chance your man has been getting a little back door action during the day? It has the same effect as an enema. Sorry if tmi.

hmc · 20/02/2010 00:49

Oh God Jacksmama - Oh god![horror emoticon]

zazen · 20/02/2010 01:23

There is formaldehyde in loo roll which can give people a sore bum.

Why doesnt he get a crack wax if he's hairy? You could give him one [evil revenge emoticon]

Or, he could bring a bottle of water into the stall with him to sluice himself?

Careful aim (!) of a squirty sports bottle of warm water should dislodge even the toughest of dingleberries [boke] just fill it up at the tap with warm water before he goes into the stall.

I love Portugal for their bidet habits - every public toilet stall has a bidet nestled in there with a loo.
I haven't gone round investigating Portugese men's bottoms, but I'm sure they're all sparkly

Jacksmama · 20/02/2010 02:57

hmc - I know. GAH!!!!!

zazen · 20/02/2010 03:03

excited at being remembered
Are you still having tea in the yurt?

Jacksmama · 20/02/2010 03:09

The yurt was about six tea rooms ago, I think. It's now a chalet in the mountains. Come visit!!

gtamom · 20/02/2010 05:27

Perhaps he has had some gastro difficulties, if this is suddenly happening after years together. The wet wipes are a good idea. No reason to be angry at him, they are in the laundry after all.

illgetyoubutler · 20/02/2010 09:55

ergh!
why cant ppl wash their arses after taking a dump??
my DH told me once, he had a friend who met a girl on a night out, and they ended up back at his. his friend wanted to do the deed from behind, and got into position, to find a piece of sweetcorn clinging to her bumhole!
apparently he still shagged her anyway.
blurgh!

Jacksmama · 20/02/2010 17:25

Sweetcorn???? Seriously?? Like the vegetable kind? Or is this code for a poo dingleberry?

Sn0wflake · 20/02/2010 20:39

Is it really such a big deal....will come out in the wash.
