Friends hubby

[Thaigal]

My friend's husband has started throwing tea bags at the wall , apparantly after he makes a drink he slings the bag at the wall and leaves it there. Friend ends up cleaning it up. I thought it was funny when she first told me but then she said he will often do it and then stand there staring at it and watching it drip! I mentioned it to another friend and she thinks it sounds like a method of control? She does seem as if she needs his permision for everything. Could the tea bag thing be part of his way of controlling her?

Is this for real?

My dh throws his pants at the wall, if they stick they go in the laundry, if not he weras them again.

pmsl @ northerner.

What a strange OP...

yes I'm being serious! well, I assume she is telling me the truth anyway, can't imagine why she'd make that up.

maybe he has a tea bag fetish

If my DH started this he'd bloody well clear it up, not me. Sounds like the guy is losing it!

iF MY DP THEW TEA BAGS AT THE WALL i WOULDN'T TELL ANYONE

didn't mean to shout

sounds like a looper. perhaps they should sit down and discuss it over a nice cup of tea.

the tea bag would be ingrained into my dh's stonks if he did that

my exP used to throw tea bags in the general direction of the bin and if they didn't go in would leave them there to fester. he'd also fill empty bottles with fag ends and leave them. i'd tidy them up because i'm cleaner than him.

but he was a messy fecker (one of the main reasons he is my EX!) and controlling too.

tbh, your mate's husband sounds like a nutjob.

That is really quite weird. Especially the standing and looking at them drip down the wall. It is funny (ha ha funny) but I also think it is a bit sinister? Maybe sinister is too strong a word for it?

I thought it was spaghetti you aimed at the wall not teabags.

Definitely a sandwich short of a picnic.

She should use tea leaves instead of tea bags.

Ah, but think of the mess if he chucked the tea strainer at the wall...

That bloke's a nutter!!!!!! She should try leaving them to pile up to see what happens. Have you asked her why she has not questioned it? I mean surely she must have said "please darling, I really wish you'd put those in the bin"

He may be a nutter, but it is a bloke thing...
Seen it in myself, never read an explanation, and I think you'll find it quite common, though most of us have learned to take the more obnoxious edge off it.

DC, I just can't accept that throwing teabags at the wall is a bloke thing. I know plenty of blokes and have had bloke roomies and I have never heard of this before. (though I am aware of the throwing things in the general direction of the bin syndrome).

Quite common! Maybe in your world DC but not in the real world.

DC quite versed in tea-bagging?

nope not common
