Since my husband doesn’t have to go to an office every day, or even face the human world on a regular basis, he tends to only shave every once in a while. Unfortunately, when he does shave he also tends to leave his hair all over the bathroom sink.
NOT our sink. I found this with a google image search. (But if this were your sink, would YOU post this picture for everybody to see? I wouldn't.)
This seriously grosses me out. I go to brush my teeth and find shaved stubble everywhere. Couldn’t my husband shave in the shower like a normal guy, thus letting the shower water naturally take his whiskers down the drain? (Oh yeah, he often forgets to shower so I guess that’s not really an option…)
Also NOT our sink. You don't think I'd really show you our nasty sink, do you?
I mean, how hard is it to just rinse the sink when he’s done shaving? Or maybe I’ll request that he let his beard grow out so that he doesn’t have to shave anymore. Hey, it worked for Brad Pitt, right?
How can we believe that he is misbehaving without your own visual proof? Until we see real evidence of his guilt, we can only assume he’s a neat shaver.
Personally i shave at the sink too. Just i always clean everything up after.
I don’t get it. If you look closely, you can see that this is NOT how a sink is to look normally. He’d be hard pressed to look in any decorating magazine and see whisker droppings in any of the photos. What do they think when they’re done shaving? “DONE! No hair on face, I’m good!” Do they really not see the mess? (my hubby does this with crumbs on the counter- all the stuff is put away, but crumbs are everywhere!).
I wonder if they actually see anything at all but boobies and beer.
Mine is the same way… doesnt’ have to shave often, so doesn’t. I purposefully invite my dad out to dinner with us at least once a month, he’ll save for him.
Love when the nose hairs get so long they can be braided into his moustache. ICK!
Yeah, well, my fiance was pacing around yesterday, deep in thought. So, I asked him what was up. He goes, “I should shave.” I go, “Okay. Go shave.” He goes, “But, it will just grow back…”
Good thinking there…
My husband mostly just leaves fingernail clippings in the sink. Is that better or worse?
Try nail clippings left in bed. Worse.
Why is it that I have to suffer through the beard trimmings all over the sink, nail clippings in the bed, AND pubic hair shavings all over the rim of the toilet????!!!! It’s just not fair.
Be careful about telling your husband to grow out his beard! Ick, I didn’t like my husband’s beard. But once he discovered how much he liked NOT shaving, he didn’t want to get rid of it! I finally made a deal with him – if I lost 30 pounds, he would shave it off. He agreed, thinking I wouldn’t be able to lose the weight. Ha! I did, and he very reluctantly shaved it off. Looks much better. At least he cleans up after himself.
I think we’re living parallel lives. My husband does the exact same thing. Must be a guy thing!
I’m surprised that my wife hasn’t posted a “me too” comment. It’s even worse when you shave your head like me.
At least I clean up after myself usually. The only problem is when my lovely wife does the laundry and all my shorn locks fall from the towel I used to clean up the mess. Damned if you do… damned if you don’t.
To this husband who chooses to “move” his messy hairs to the towel and then seemed perplexed why his wife would be miffed….geeeeez fellow, go shake the towel. Did your Mommy do EVERYTHING for you or are you just a pig?
OMG just this morning…the husband trimmed his face then shaved…got in the shower….soaped up…rinsed off…got out..my turn to shower..I pick up the soap..and all of the hair he trimmed before shaving that got caught in his fur blanket if chest hair..All over my freeking bar of soap! GRRRRRR
My husband likes to shave in the car on the way to work so when he comes home for lunch and hugs me and the kids, we get a little parting gift of red whiskers! The times that he does shave at the sink, he does it in my sink!! I guess he thinks if the hair is in my sink then it’s my hair to clean?!
My husband shaves in the shower- but somehow flicks the razor so that the hair gets stuck all over the shower walls- then I have so scrub the walls of the shower!!
My bathroom sink looks like that right now. My husband and I are locked in a battle of wills as to who will clean it up. I will NOT give in!
Two words…dual sinks. They are saving our marriage.
My husband is NOTORIOUS for leaving itty bitty hairs not just in the sink, but on the counters, on all the stuff on the counters and the floor. He shaves every day for his job, and I am constantly asking him to clean it up. His version of “cleaning it up” is brushing some of the hairs into the sink and then splashing those hairs with water. This goes on for about a week until I break down and clean it thoroughly.
Don’t complain about the nails in the sink..Mine leave them on the gd floor! Then denies they’re his! He’s like that’s so yours!! OK my toe nails aren’t oddly shaped or bumpy!!!
Ugh. Just … ugh.
I just discovered your blog, and this was the first post that I read. I had to laugh out loud (and cry a little) when I woke up the next morning to discover that my own sink had been invaded with whiskers. We have dual sinks, so that is helpful. In fact, as of this morning (Friday), the whiskers are still around the rim.
My husband is the same way! He even shaves he head at time. UGH! Sometimes he remembers to put a towel in the sink to catch the hairs and throw them in the garbage can, but not always.
my husband does the same thing… and he’s super anal about being neat and tidy so i really dont get why its ok to have facial hair in the sink…
OK so I discovered your blog last week and I feel like I just found a vein of gold. The robot impersonation gets me every time.
While driving to the Eagles game here in Phila this past Sunday my boyfriend and his buddies were texting back and forth trying to coordinate they’re very important tailgating details.
95 South through Philly isn’t one of those roads where one can feel safe taking a moment to answer a text, so I was typing for him while he dictated the importance of beer pong balls and proper grilling.
Now all that was annoying enough but why oh why? does that fact that he is talking about texting require everything he wants me to write be said in a robot voice????
I love this man and am blessed that my boyfriend genuinely wants me to even participate in his boy football stuff but I have to ask; Does the weirdness ever end???
my husband shaves his face every day and his head 2-3 times a week. the shower and/or the sink has all these little hairs all over after he finishes. when we first started living together, i told him he had to clean it up. he did, using a wash cloth which then sat on the corner of the tub and became even more gross. it was then that i introduced him to paper towels. not the most environmentally friendly, but the best for my sanity.
thanks for posting this! so good to know someone gets it!
The shower idea is good if you have a fog free mirror. Luckily I have a Steam Shower w/ a Fog Free Mirror. It has helped tremendously. I have a sensitive neck and get razor burn easily. I haven’t had any such problems.
