How often does he take rubbish out?

Hello All,
How often does does your partner take the rubbish out? 80% of the time I do this chore only because if I don't then the boyfriend will just leave it and pack it down and eventually will leave rubbish just lying around. It's totally yuck and I tell him so but then he says that I'm nagging Angry it's really unfair. He lives like a student and that bother as it feels like he's not respecting our place or me! Tell me your stories and lets compare numbers!

99% of the time, it's me who just shoves another thing in the bin Blush

Mum2Fergus · 09/12/2013 22:38

100% of bins and recycling...mans work in my opinion lol...

Never
Drives me insane
He ties up the bag and then leaves it there
So he's spotted it needs changing, but can't be arsed to do it

My ex DW always just shoved the rubbish in more and more. I found it such a wind up. One if the things I like the most about her decision to end the marriage is the thought that the lazy moo now has to empty the bins herself. It also means she needs to remember what night is bin night. Idiot.

98% of the time.

mamababa · 09/12/2013 23:04

99%. Blue job.

My ex P used to take the bins out all the time. It's about the only thing I miss!

yegodsandlittlefishes · 09/12/2013 23:07

DH isn't here on bin day or night before so I do it.

stayanotherday · 09/12/2013 23:19

Every day.

chickydoo · 09/12/2013 23:23

100% of the time
If he doesn't do it, it doesn't get done

MrsTerrysChocolateOrange · 09/12/2013 23:56

99% of the time. I only do it in emergencies. We don't have women's and men's jobs so much as my list and his list. Rubbish is on his list.

merryxmasyafilthyanimal · 10/12/2013 01:44

Every time. I wouldn't know what to do!

LittlePeaPod · 10/12/2013 03:17

I can't remember the last time I took the bins out. DH takes internal out to external bins and sorts external bins for collection. In fact I have just realised I have no idea when bins are collected Blush

All my family will walk past the dustbin to carry their rubbish to the kitchen bin! I'm like the bin god I'm the only one who understands how they work! Apparently.

SummerPlum · 10/12/2013 05:26

100% of the time. And he sorts all the recycling. I do it all wrong, apparently.

TheSkiingGardener · 10/12/2013 05:34

Rubbish is his job. Rubbish, recycling and emptying the dishwasher/draining board in the morning.

kreecherlivesupstairs · 10/12/2013 05:43

70/30 split with me taking more out as I leave home earlier.

hazchem · 10/12/2013 05:51

Yeah I rarely do it! Every now and then I remind myself not to be an arse and make an effort to take it out. But then again he has never washed the dyson filter, he even got an email last week (from dyson) reminding him to do it. Has he? No!

LifeIsBetterInFlipFlops · 10/12/2013 05:56

Never

scaevola · 10/12/2013 06:43

Never.

Thisisaghostlyeuphemism · 10/12/2013 06:49

I do it. He'll "get his suit dirty".
I don't mind it at all. He does other stuff.

GlitteredPinecones · 10/12/2013 06:50

100% of the time

headinhands · 10/12/2013 06:56

Dh's XW wouldn't touch bins so I he was super impressed with my ability to empty bins for some years. (From what he's said I think XW probably had/has OCD about germs)

HairyGrotter · 10/12/2013 07:05

I've no idea, we just do it when it needs doing, the job remains unassigned to either genders
