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.

OP posts:

Why would anyone pick up a manky, used tissue and do something odd with it ??? 😆😆😆
That’s a million times weirder than the op’s dilemma.

No, the tissue is discarded as unsuitable before use.

It may have been a convoluted way to introduce a rubbish gag, I'll grant you....

He’d only respond with a tissue of lies...

messolini9 · 17/01/2020 19:44

affray? what am I on? - I meant repay

patchworkelephant123 · 17/01/2020 19:45

Why do you keep tissues in your handbag?

Hirsutefirs · 17/01/2020 19:45

You lot are on a roll.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 17/01/2020 19:46

He’d only respond with a tissue of lies...

Especially if he's been using them after illicit hanky-panky....

helberg · 17/01/2020 19:47

But can we make sure OP only engages with the kind of SHL who will persuade the court to award a special compensation fee to OP, over & above any maintenance, to affray the cost of DH's ongoing tissue habit?

Maybe there's a lawyer on MN who has experience with this kind of thing and can advise.
It is going to be an issue in the future for child maintenance payments if 3/4 of his earnings are being used to buy tissues.

SlothRunner · 17/01/2020 19:47

This is a very strange question 🤔

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 17/01/2020 19:47

Bog off!

MrsGrindah · 17/01/2020 19:49

And he’d 3-ply her with excuses

@messolini9

I fear you might be suffering from an irony deficiency Grin

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 17/01/2020 19:51

I'm just imagine them beefing up security at airports and international borders and starting to demand that you immediately declare if you have any drugs, firearms, endangered species or Handy Andies on your person.

DioneTheDiabolist · 17/01/2020 19:51

I dont know why anyone is responding to this obvious T-roll thread.

messolini9 · 17/01/2020 19:52

At last helberg, you are finally thinking of the children, whose maintenance should not be wiped out by their father's nefarious Mileage Masturbation Mystery. OP should not roll over on this point.
In fact, she should take him to the kleenex.

messolini9 · 17/01/2020 19:55

Au contraire, @simone1863, I would say it was more of a surfeit.
Ironic that you didn't spot that though! Grin

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 17/01/2020 19:56

I do hope that OP comes back to tell us the outcome of the inevitable confrontation and doesn't just leave it hanging - it could go either way.

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 17/01/2020 20:00

OP (for the 53rd day in a row, confrontationally holding up what she's found in his work bag): "I demand you explain yourself! WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!"

OP's Husband: That's Plenty....

Toomuchtrouble4me · 17/01/2020 20:02

I always have a pack of tissues in my bag, I don't have any particular use in mind.

Hirsutefirs · 17/01/2020 20:04

I counted them out, I counted them home.

funnyoldonion · 17/01/2020 20:06

Don't ask him, he'll only paper over the cracks Grin

That's not going to stop him at all. Guys like that never change. He'll be stopping off at a shop to buy more tissues and hiding them in the spare wheel compartment in the van. Might be an idea to put some kind of tracker on the van and OP will be able to see if he stops off anywhere suspicious. I stand by what I said - she needs to LTB. Imagine a life of constant stress and worry about how, where and for how long he is wanking in his van

Oh @helbag I think I love you.

Seriously OP it's a slippery slope. He'll be onto hankies next before you know it.

He's spending all your FAMILY MONEY on Kleenex and Andrex. Well what good is that when the bloody boiler breaks eh? Cocklodger, wankbadger, LTB etc.

YasssKween · 17/01/2020 20:09

Omg @helberg not @helbag 😂

Sorry!

Twinkletoes888 · 17/01/2020 20:10

My OH loves a tissue, if we go any where he always takes extra for pockets, car, bag etc.

He must have a fetish...mine and yours

What do you suspect- that he’s wiping another woman with it?"
I can't stop laughing at this
