Grrrr! MEN!

MyBrownEyedBoy wrote: Will someone please tell me how hard it is to wet a piece of toilet paper and swipe out the shaving debris (ie whiskers) that men seem to leave behind in the sink? I mean, it must be nearly impossible. I've asked Aaron to do that so many times I lost count and he just can't seem to remember. It can't be a matter of time, it takes less than 30 seconds. As if he can't tell his sink's just been cleaned? Toothpaste and shaving cream and hairs are not there anymore. Pretty obvious I'd think.

DH is a neat freak with the rest of the house but not with his bathroom. That's why he has his and I have mine.

TheOaf66 replied: there is no reason to why this happens, it is something built into our DNA just like with yours is the going to the bathroom together etc. U can keep reminding him but it probably will not change anything sorry

hoosier momma replied: I feel for you. This is one of my biggest pet peeves.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Well I used to be gripe about that..but then he kinda went on strike on the shaving part. I hated that more than the hairs..so I say nothing...lol

Boo&BugsMom replied: I know what you mean. Hubby is guilty of this everytime!!! Are you listening dear?!? He left them on the shower curtain last time too and I have no idea how they got there. There is NO EXCUSE! It's just plain lazy if you ask me.

Calimama replied: My husband doesnt do that. He IS guilty of leaving his dirty clothes... EVERYWHERE.

TheOaf66 replied:


so sorry guilty as charged don't know what to say

PrairieMom replied: mine rinses the eletric shaver in the sink and shakes it dry tward the shower, sending tiny hairs flying to stick all over my shower walls. nice. I guess you can tell who cleans the bathroom. Its so frusterating.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Okay, now that I've read all your replies, I suppose Troy's right. It must be either something extra on that Y chromosome, or something missing. At least I'm not alone.

TheOaf66 replied: goes right along with other things that I just can't shake

sock fuzzies on the floor
crumbs that magically appear
for some reason leaving pots out when I put dishes away...it is a mystery

gr33n3y3z replied:
I think he heard you

TheOaf66 replied: sometimes I listen to her

Boo&BugsMom replied:
If it's a good day he does.

Calimama replied:
So it's not just Antonio who "didnt see those."

redchief replied: I'm not permitted to leave my whiskers in the sink. It's OK for me to wade through the females' hair, but not a little nib of whisker may be left behind.

PrairieMom replied:
Lisa, you are SO LUCKY to have a hubby that "gets it!"

Boo&BugsMom replied:
For some reason he takes them out of the sink and places them on the stove. I guess the extra 2 seconds it takes to open the drawer under the stove and put the pot inside it is too much work.

ZandersMama replied: Only way I have seen gets rid of the whiskers is to get rid of the man sorry guys

sparkys2boys replied: All I can say is TOAST CRUMBS.... everywhere.. grrrr!!!! On the counter on the floor and nothing ticks me off more then getting up bare feet and walking on them..lol!!!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I can only relate to this b/c I remember my dad and brothers shaving in the sink and getting their whiskers everywhere. My favorite was when you would find a clump of whisker laced shaving cream on the mirror that had sat there for hours.

Scotty shaves in the shower and he would NEVER leave a mess in the sink. He's a clean freak and that's no fun, either. Why can't marriage be easy??

luvmykids replied:
Definitely not alone, what I want to know even more than why they can't clean it up is why they do it immediately after you've done the cleaning?

My MIL and FIL still laugh about their first major fight, over this very issue.

redchief replied:
Because then everyone would be content and there would be little reason to complain. That's against every law of human nature, I think.

coasterqueen replied:

I can't say anything because I'm the slob in my house. I think I probably compare with the men out there than the women. The sad thing is I'm a very anal person, so I expect everyone else to be clean, just not me.

luvmykids replied:
An anal slob? That sounds easy enough

redchief replied: How is it that general male vents always seem to collect at least two pages worth of posts?

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Sounds just like ME! I just didn't want to admit that in my other post.

jem0622 replied: How long have you been married?

Trust me, I so know what you are talking about. But now I have young men leaving pee dribble on my floor. It's me against them!

I wouldn't even go on about it. But I would make him clean that sink with Clorox wipes each weekend. Put some in his stocking so he'll take a hint.

TheOaf66 replied:
well Ed, apparently we are the ones at fault for everything. U notice if there is a male praising post it will get about 5 or 6 replies and that is about all but a male bashing one and everyone is lining up...are they trying to tell us something

boyohboyohboy replied: this is the single bigest reason why we have seperate bathrooms, and probably will be married a lot longer because of that fact!
sometimes you have to pick your battles..

coasterqueen replied:
Hey, I defended y'all men. Or I guess I should say I shamefully admitted how I'm like some of the men being vented about.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:

I think I am going to do that. Those ones in the tub should fit perfectly. LOL.

As for the male bashing posts, it wasn't meant to bash. Just vent. However, I will add that given my previous reasons for venting about Aaron, this one is small potatos and I am happy to report that we are looking better lately.

TheOaf66 replied: glad to hear, I am just defending the guys to be cocky and give everyone a laugh, no harm intended

AlexsPajamaMama replied:
Seriously! As soon as that bathroom counter has been cleaned all of a sudden it's time for dh to shave!! never fails! glad it happens in other homes besides mine!

My2Beauties replied: Really, so it's not just my DH that does this? I thought I was the unlucky one!
