cleanliness

Lotus-eater

Men don't have to wash their hands after having a wee, unless they are going to make food or something and even then I don't bother.... What exactly are we touching that is so bad? Something most of you have had in their mouth a few times I should think and I bet you don't make them go and wash it beforehand (most of you )
And you can drink wee it's so clean, so don't quote that as an excuse either

Yeah.. we found her in there licking the ham..

Oh god, that reminds me of an old story. Can't give too much away, but my family had this giant fish for a huge party, it had been cooked and coated in something, then left in a spare room upstairs.
Time came for the proud carry downstairs of this monster, when it was discovered the cat had got in and was munching on the tail (the only bit not coated.
The tail was hastily cut off and the fish (minus rear section) was bought down to great acclaim. No one ever got told about the cat. :rotfl:

My offer still stands folks - tea and a few custard creams. I have my own transport and cleaning products:D

That's brilliant, sign me up to a regular weekly visit. I've got every type of tea you could possibly want, we don't have any cleaning products though, we only use vinegar and we don't allow chemicals in the house, sorry! So, as long as you are ok with vinegar and a hoover, I'll see you soon!
My OH will be well chuffed when I tell her I did it

I have a very messy husband who pulls the place apart when I'm at work.

He only finishes 2-3 hours earlier than me, but it's enough to spill things on the kitchen floor and surfaces without cleaning them up, leave used teabags next the kettle, kick the contents of the cats water bowl onto the floor, spill cat food on the floor, walk mud, stones and grass into the lobby and across the downstairs bathroom floor, spill tea on the computer desk, leave his breakfast bowl on the computer desk, drop some of his breakfast on the carpet (and squidge it in with his toe so it 'doesn't show' leaving me on my hands and knees a the weekend picking crispy stuck on bran flakes out of the carpet pile), take his uniform off and drop it on the floor of the bedroom, leave skid marks in the toilet, use all the toilet roll and not replace it, spread liquid soap from the dispenser around the sink, leave dirty (and sometimes oily) hand marks on the towels, and drag out files and leaves paperwork left strewn on the floor. Sometimes I come home and also find car parts on the living room rug.

As you can imagine, I've made sure housework is not on my list of priorities otherwise I'd be in tears at the constant tsumani of crap I have to clean up.

If he wasn't such a wonderful husband I'd swing for him.

Omg....I just tried imagining what would happen if my hubby did even half of that....the outcome wasn't pretty...:eek::eek::eek:

Hubby washes automatically without asking and I return the gesture out of courtesy.

Are you under the impression that your Johnson tastes or smells pleasant when stuffed in sweaty underpants all day, complete with stale wee dabbed all over the tip with a square of toilet paper? That's if you've bothered to dab and haven't just given it a quick shake and stuffed in back in your underpants.

Do me a favour. Get in the bathroom and have a wash out of courtesy for your OH you soap-dodger.

I didn't say I never washed. I have a bath in the sink, at least once a week.

I would give my left arm to have cleaning OCD. I have 'thinking about cleaning but not doing any' OCD. My SIL is like the OP though. WIsh I could do it - maybe that's why she is so thin!

I really don't think you do. I have known someone with it and it's pretty horrific for everyone else and the person together.

I certainly couldn't live with someone with it.... nor they with me though

He's so good in so many other ways so I live with it.

The whole oily hands on towels thing reached fever pitch a few months ago when he almost ruined an light egyptian cotton towel, until someone on here told me to go and buy cheap dark towels for him.

And I solved the soap dispenser thing by buying an automatic dispenser. He just has to put his hand under and not touch it. He asked a couple of weeks ago if we could get another one for the upstairs bathroom. He had a string of liquid soap up the front of his jumper where he pumped the dispenser with such force he made the soap airborne at a weird angle.

Harmony has been restored to a certain degree.
