Fi clips his toenails and lets them fly everywhere. Puke.

Ok, forwhatever irrational reason- because they are just nails, right- this shit bothers me too. Clipping finger and toe nails with wreckless abandon is icky.

I have seen people do this ON THE BUS! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

I like my Sonicare better than the regular electric toothbrush that I used to have, and I liked the regular electric one better than a normal toothbrush. But I don't feel like the difference is drastic. My dentist was always bugging me to get a Sonicare though.

this is me.

Although I think it massages my gums better.

I put mine in a neat little pile. Is that so hard?

I clip mine over a trash can.

The worst is when my coworkers clip their nails in the office. You guys have homes, right? DO IT THERE.

I'm contemplating sneaking in the office next door to mine and stealing the nail clippers out of my coworker's desk drawer. Literally every other day she's clipping her nails in there. It's a universally accepted fact that nail clipping should not be done at work!

I only do this if I break a nail, and in that case I go to the bathroom away from people. I just can't go a whole day with a broken nail and NOT rip my entire nailbed off, KWIM?

Yes x1,000,000.

I'm in a very male dominated field and they all seem to think this is totally fine at work. Once one starts, you hear it in another office down the hall too.

I don't mind that, but they clip all of them, all the time. How many times a week do you need to cut your nails? Do you have super talons?

HA! My office friend and I now jokingly call our every-other-day-resident-nail-clipper "Wolverine". Those nails get clipped WAY too often. Although I've been told that this person also clips their TOENAILS at work. So, there ya' go - 10 extra nails. IIIICKKK!!

lovesclimbing · January 2015

I don't overly want to share toothbrushes, but I would if I need to. I just accidentally grabbed H's a couple nights ago. I noticed as I was brushing because he needs a new one, so the bristles are more flattened out than mine.

I don't get what's gross. Presumably, you guys are swapping saliva on a regular basis when you kiss and potentially sucking on each other's junk on a regular basis as well.

Why is this gross? I don't get it. I mean, you put your tongue in his mouth. What's the difference?

There's just something about using the same object that's used to scrape off plaque and bacteria from your teeth that skeeves me out. I mean, yeah, I kiss him, but I'm not scraping off plaque with my tongue when I do it.

You're still getting the bacteria that's sloughing off and around in his mouth into yours. . . so basically same thing as using the toothbrush.

In fact, if your tongues are tangoing then you are scraping bacteria off because that's where most of the bacteria in our mouths lives, as far as I know. Our dental hygenist can correct me if I'm wrong.

I guess a toothbrush just seems so much more aggressive at doing it, and then even if you rinse it off it just sits there and lets the bacteria grow. At least there is some kind of a balance between healthy bacteria and harmful bacteria in our bodies. Like I said, it might just be mental. I don't know if it's actually bad for you, like sharing eye makeup is with other people.

I think the bacteria in our mouths are pretty much all the "bad" kind. The "good" flora tend to be more in our guts and other areas.

I never got a nasty infection or anything from kissing DH or that time when he had to use my toothbrush ;-) But I'm with you in that I will not share mascara with people. I have lent very close friends/family eyeshadow before, but we all use brushes and regularly clean them. Still probably risky though.

I'm one of the hygienists here (I think I have seen others mention that they are too . . . . but can't think of who)

Anyway - Yes you're still swapping bacteria, and yes there is TON of bacteria that is on your tongue. It is one of the biggest culprits of bad breath (brush your tongues ladies!!!) but I wouldn't say that your tongue has the most bacteria. It really depends on the person, their hygiene/homecare, natural flora of each individuals mouth, genetics, I could go on and on.

As far as the type of bacteria - there are SOME good bacteria in your mouth - but the majority is bad bacteria. Locations of those bacteria can vary from tongue, cheeks, along the gum line, under the gum line, on the teeth themselves, on the roof of the mouth - any possible place in your mouth you can think of - and they are all different. Bacteria that don't need oxygen live under the gum line - and are by far competitors for the "worst' bacteria in your mouth. These are the bacteria that cause periodontal disease/bone loss. The other bacteria that are really horrible are the ones that a cause cavities.

Mostly - because brushing your teeth you get along the gum line - and if doing it properly get a bit under the gum line - those bacteria will be on the toothbrush - and this is the biggest reason that I don't like to share.

I know my Fi has a clean mouth. I am the one who cleans his teeth (every 6 months anyway!) - but I still can't. I guess if I was REALLY stuck w/o a toothbrush I would use his but I would be icked out for sure.

So - there is your long winded response!!!! Sorry about that! Haha

NO! This is not clean! We just have very different definitions of "clean."
The main thing he does though that drives me nuts, is he'll start doing something helpful and then leave a mess behind him. He starts to iron clothes, but he leaves out the ironing board with the cord trailing across the room. He vacuums the living room, but leaves the vacuum out... with the cord trailing across the room. He does laundry, but leaves the folded clothes on the couch. I try to be patient because he's helping.... but seriously dude? Put the damn vacuum away! OMG. I think I'm dating your Fi's twin!

We've done the toothbrush thing a few times when one of us forget theirs. Really don't get what's so gross about it. I put balls and jizz in my mouth, pretty sure his toothbrush is not any worse.

I use the battery powered disposable toothbrush and the hygienist says she can tell the difference. I did not notice the difference till we both forgot our toothbrushes for one of our Christmas trips this year. His family gave us each one because she had two extras. (We would have live with one as it is better than trying to brush with my finger.) I could tell a huge difference going back to a normal toothbrush.

Yes, my dental hygienist noticed a big difference! She could even tell when I wasn't keeping it plugged in/charged all the time. My teeth are much cleaner.

I still get in trouble for not flossing enough though.

I crack up hearing about messy men. I'm the slob in our relationship!

Me too. H isn't a clean freak or anything, but I am straight up disgusting compared to him.

kerbohl · January 2015

I wouldn't freak out about using my husband's tooth brush, but I prefer my own. I am have no qualms about the ickiness.
I would never clip my nails at work unless I had a broken nail, which rarely happens because I keep my nails so short. I do not understand why people would clip their nails at work - I honestly cannot fathom why it would be desirable for them to do this.

larrygaga · January 2015

There have been times where we both forget our toothbrushes for the night or something, and FI insists we just buy one and I use it first and then it becomes his toothbrush forever. I find that disgusting, but he is totally cool with it. He will brush after me but I won't brush after him. He, at least, isn't hurt by it.

Although to be honest, he is probably more logical than I am. We often eat off the same plate at dinner and share forks/drinks and obviously makeout and all that dirty stuff. We wash each other in the shower and I have pulled leeches from between his toes and he likes to chew on my hair. Why is a toothbrush pushing it? I don't know, it just is.

H takes everything off in one fell swoop. So if it's been cold, his pants still contain his long johns, his socks, and his underwear, and I'm expected to pull it all apart. And he leaves paper and change in his pockets. It drives me up a WALL.

I do this and now I am permanently stuck with the laundry chore. FI refuses to pull all my things apart to wash them.

JCbride2015 · January 2015

While we're talking about different definitions of "clean:"

Last night, Fi opened a bottle of wine with a bad cork, and chose to just push the cork back inside the bottle. So we poured the wine through this little aerator thing my grandma gave me, which has a strainer, to strain out the cork bits. We drank half the wine and left the aerator in the sink last night.

Today I opened the wine back up, went looking for the aerator, and Fi said it was still dirty in the sink. Yep, covered in little bits of cork and dried-up wine. I said, "Okay hun I'll use something else, don't feel like washing it now" and strained the wine through a wire strainer, because I'm a classy lady. Later tonight, I saw Fi using the aerator.

Me: "Did you wash that?"

Him: "I thought you did."

Me: "Honey, it was in the sink with bits of cork stuck to it and with dried wine stains on it."

Him: "It looked clean to me."

lol I'm your husband! I hate making a new dirty dish or piece of silverware so I will cut my strawberries with the knife & plate I used the day before. DH hates it and is constantly trying to put these items that I leave on the counter into the sink.
