Tissue in dhs work bag

Going to sound very weird. But for before I can remember I’ve always noticed my dh has either a roll or just a thick pile of tissue in his work bag. I go in it to get his lunch box or stick it in after I’ve made our lunches for the day.
Never asked but just wondered why he’d have it in the first place? He works as a driver/delivery/assembler. Anyone else’s do this? And for what reason. And no he doesn’t have toilet problems or anything that I know of.

I can't imagine a relationship where you've been curious "for as long as I remember" and you haven't just asked.

Husbands an ex driver. Always carried loo roll or tissues, napkins from when he got food on the go.
Nothing sinister or weird.

There MUST be a drip feed coming.

Readordead · 17/01/2020 17:40

I’ve always got a stack of tissues in my bag. I wish it was for an impromptu wank but unfortunately it’s in case there’s no toilet paper in public loos

Goodness, my DH has loo roll, tissues, AND kitchen roll in the car. I've never wondered why. Perhaps I should!

Readordead · 17/01/2020 17:41

There MUST be a drip feed coming.
Somethings definitely dripping

Plumbus · 17/01/2020 17:43

Wanking at work because of a porn addiction. It's the only explanation tbh.

LTB.

Coatzillaclaus · 17/01/2020 17:44

Is he delivering to/assembling in empty buildings? There may be none in the loo.

But seriously, why are you even thinking about this?! Are you ok OP?

DP carries napkins from his lunches etc and keeps them to blow his nose. I always have tissues in my bag. Perfectly normal.

peekaboob · 17/01/2020 17:49

My OH sometimes works in very remote locations and gets caught short. He carries a loo roll in his van. I sometimes call him bear 😂

Whatisthisfuckery · 17/01/2020 17:50

For his nose? I always have tissues and wads of napkins I’ve picked up for this reason. It’s really not that mysterious. Why don’t you just ask him?

inmyshoos · 17/01/2020 17:53

This totally made my day Grin

BooseysMom · 17/01/2020 17:56

Surely it's a highly commendable thing for a man to have thought about his supply of tissues whilst at work. I often forget my pocket pack. He's a good clean guy for sure Grin

IScreamForIceCreams · 17/01/2020 18:03

He's moonlighting as a mummy.

MirandaGoshawk · 17/01/2020 18:05

Is there lipstick on them OP? That's what I was expecting.

MissPoldark · 17/01/2020 18:09

Ask him if he wants to do the tissue test !

Probably best to hire a private detective and engage a shit hot solicitor.

FFS.

percheron67 · 17/01/2020 18:11

Isn't he allowed to blow his nose?!

lilgreen · 17/01/2020 18:13

You’re right, you do sound weird. Why can’t you just ask him?

ScrambledEggsOnToast1 · 17/01/2020 18:14

I think these suggestions pretty much cover it all, I’m thinking a mummy fetish OR he just doesn’t like to get caught without loo roll when he takes a shit in a random loo...? I carry tissues in my pocket, I wonder if my husband is asking the internet what they think it’s for too 🤔

TreestumpsAndTrampolines · 17/01/2020 18:20

Every van I've ever driven or had a lift in, or peered in the back in has had a roll of tissue (generally the blue stuff, squished somewhere.

I always carry tissues, and we have them and wetwipes in both our cars.

I think the question should be why don't you have a roll of tissue in your bag.

yellowallpaper · 17/01/2020 18:34

'Caught short' loo roll I'd say

JemimaPuddleCat · 17/01/2020 18:45

Well, unless his penis beaker has a leakproof lid, it's probably quite impractical to carry around for if he wants a cheeky wank. Tissues are much easier.

Vanhi · 17/01/2020 18:45

My OH does this. As a veteran of many music festivals, he tends not to go anywhere without loo roll and a small packet of tissues. I would think the reasons are obvious and many. Given how often I grab some to blow my nose or wipe some part of my anatomy, it's not really a mystery.

thedancingbear · 17/01/2020 18:46

He's probably wanking in the van or having an affair, OP.

LTB, I reckon.
