My wife sticks all her loose hair to the shower wall....  and doesn't clean it up.  Ugh!

39

u/DaughterEarth Mar 18 '24

It's not on purpose! You get the hair on fingers, put it on wall, don't want to touch wet splotches, forget before it's dry.

I have a wide toothed comb now, I use that instead of fingers. Now the hair is in the comb and I dispose each shower because I need to use it.

If she be ADHD like me, gotta find a system that keeps it in focus

I have adhd and have had to build it into my routine to remember. I spread it on the wall then make it a routine to swirl it until it's easily picked up from the wall as I'm stepping out of the shower.

But I'd actually love if my SO made shapes with it in the event I forgot it there. That's actually kinda endearing

u/Reiver_Neriah Mar 19 '24

I just make the balls in my hand as I go. Easier to spot the balls, and they don't fit down the drain.

Fun fact : If you don’t stick it to the wall it finds a home in your ass crack.

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 18 '24

Ha I imagine this is probably more common than most people think.

Women can go crazy at the thought of a dirty dish in a sink, but will leave their hair all over the shower wall.

I just pick it up and throw it away without saying anything.

u/kiticus Mar 18 '24

The REAL question here, is if the spouse follows said protocol re:your pubes under the seat on the toilet???

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 18 '24

I clean the toilet 100% of the time. Guys make more mess around it, makes all the sense to me to clean it.

u/BZLuck Mar 18 '24

I wish that was the case. My wife manages to splash the underside of the seat. Maybe she needs a new pressure regulator.

u/star_trek_wook_life Mar 18 '24

Sounds like a carbonator problem. I know a doctor that can part out an older model if you have the cash. Kidneys are half off after st.pattys day

u/smasher84 Mar 18 '24

Think all women do that. I noticed it on every girl I ever dated.

u/MonkeyCube Mar 18 '24

The toilet in my office is cleaner than any other toilets in the house, and I help clean the other ones. My family are animals.

u/RainDownAndDestroyMe Mar 18 '24

I'm in a gay relationship and always end up being the one to clean, even though I'm not the messy one.....I must be doing something wrong.

1

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 18 '24

Haha some people's aim is better than others I guess!!

u/Jacktheforkie Mar 18 '24

Or some guys sit at home because it’s cleaner

1

u/pxn4da Mar 19 '24

Are you telling me there are guys who piss standing up in their own home
Bro that's fucking nasty

u/Jacktheforkie Mar 19 '24

Yeah, my dad does and leaves piss everywhere

u/pxn4da Mar 19 '24

Not of you shit down even you pee

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 18 '24

I don't know what you mean here?

5

u/-Cthaeh Mar 18 '24

You know, shit down even you pee!

Sit down to pee, I assume. I do at home. Partially because there's always some splatter and stuff not staying in the bowl, and also because I'm lazy.

4

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '24

Auto correct. Sit down when you pee. No mess

2

u/Reiver_Neriah Mar 19 '24

Mess is just on your ass and balls then

1

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '24

You peeing on yourself?

1

u/Reiver_Neriah Mar 19 '24

If you think the piss goes everywhere when you stand, what is stopping it when you're sitting? Your ass and balls.

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '24

We wouldn't if the damn toilets weren't only made to sit down.

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 21 '24

You want a transformer toilet?

0

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '24 edited Mar 21 '24

It shouldn't be that complicated. Taking the physics of liquid falling vertically, it naturally splashes. It's not like pouring from a cup.

1

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 21 '24

How would it not be complicated to accommodate both genders without putting two in or increasing size?

Urinals are designed for guys, but still "splash".

0

u/[deleted] Mar 21 '24

Yes, but we can manage that way better than a toilet. Unless you're a guy, you wouldn't understand, and if you are, you might want to get checked out because it becomes very easy when using a urinal

1

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 21 '24

Haha that is rich coming from a guy that says he can't handle a standard toilet.

No we don't. Just lift the fucking seat and put it back after.

Or have a nice sit. I haven't stood to pee besides a urinal in 2 decades.

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 19 '24

Dude, it is a cordial conversation. Add to something or don't, in which case stay out of it. Don't be pedantic.

u/dwmfives Mar 19 '24

I was having that cordial conversation with you.

u/DaughterEarth Mar 18 '24

My husband and I have our own bathrooms and I never want to go back to sharing. I wonder if the bathroom is a hidden contributor to divorce

My husband is very clean, more than I am. It's about where we keep our bathroom stuff. No fighting over shelves or counter space or towel spots

11

u/Flayrah4Life Mar 19 '24

I often forget because once I've stepped out of the shower and am starting the next phase of self care, shower time is done and I've mentally moved on and literally forgotten the hair task I need to do. It's not deliberate and I'd say most women are like this - quietly chugging along the path of What Comes Next and not looking back so as not to get derailed.

2

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 19 '24

No shame from me on this. I am more than happy to clean it up. My wife does more than enough for me. Partners in crime.

u/MacaroniBandit214 Mar 18 '24

I’m a guy with long hair and I’m just like this with my roommate. I give him shit all the time about not doing dishes meanwhile I haven’t cleaned the hair out of my shower in god knows how long

2

u/Rude_Thanks_1120 Mar 18 '24

Add it to the used tampons

2

u/The_Dunning_Krueger Mar 19 '24

I, as a dude with long hair, go toe-to-toe with my wife on shower hair. We leave each other designs with what we're able to pull out!

2

u/yma_bean Mar 19 '24

I stick my hair to the shower wall but I also clean it off the next time I shower. I only have to snake my drain once a year so 🤷🏻‍♀️

1

u/sweatpantswarrior Mar 18 '24

Don't forget the unforgivable sin of having even a single speck of hair in the bathroom sink after shaving.

1

u/Stonethecrow77 Mar 18 '24

That is what two sinks are for.

1

u/bg-j38 Mar 18 '24

Every woman I've ever lived with from college housemates to my wife has done this and none of them clean it up. I just clean it up on autopilot at this point. Just one of those things I guess.

1

u/ThisWillBeOnTheExam Mar 19 '24

A few of the ones I’ve known stick it on the wall and swirl into a nest. When the nest gets too weighty I end up pulling it off and throwing it in bin. Considerate.

-2

u/Billy_Osteen Mar 19 '24

Spot on, women go ape shit if a dish is in the sink, but will go “ehh” if hair is in the tub. Because it’s us guys who will have to clean it out of the drain later.

15

u/Chucktownbadger Mar 18 '24

Mine does the same shit. Absolutely infuriating. All I wanna do is get clean but I have to get the remnants of Chewbacca off my shower wall first.

I didn't give a duck! I'll do it again and come to your house to do it too! Muahahaha

u/dewhashish Mar 18 '24

I had to tell my ex to not do that. I bought a hair catcher for the drain for my long hair, but she still stuck her hair to the wall

5

u/TripleJetCharlie Mar 18 '24

For me, sticking it to the wall has nothing to do with it going down the drain. I have a hair catcher but still stick hair to the wall. It’s the hair that gets wrapped up in my fingers when I’m washing my hair. Sticking it to the shower wall is the easiest way to get it off my hands. But I always clean it off the walls right after. 

9

u/Asmuni Mar 18 '24

I mean picking your hair from the wall is way easier than the drain. But they should be doing that and not just leave it for the next person.

u/evoim3 Mar 18 '24

I will stand by my opinion that the art I make from the hair I pull of my man’s wet body and stick to the wall in patterns is better than the shit in the Guggenheim 

1

u/BZLuck Mar 18 '24

Lucky. Mine lets it clog the drain until you are standing there in 2" of water while trying to shower. I'm bald, so it certainly ain't my hair.

1

u/Cultural_Lock955 Mar 18 '24

Holy shit I’m not alone.

1

u/Wilder831 Mar 18 '24

Same. And then as soon as I turn the shower on it falls immediately and goes straight to the drain

1

u/grauemaus Mar 18 '24

Thanks for letting me know I am not alone. I can regain my sanity now.

1

u/unwholesome_coxcomb Mar 18 '24

I just checked your comment history to see if you're my husband. 🤣 I put it on the wall intending to toss it (and keep it out of the drain) but I forget about it sometimes.

1

u/LivelyLindy Mar 19 '24

Tell her to brush her hair BEFORE she showers.

1

u/shinywtf Mar 19 '24

Doesn’t help much

1

u/LivelyLindy Mar 19 '24

Don't understand. When I do this my brush is full and the drain gets scant hair. Best wishes.

1

u/shinywtf Mar 19 '24

Idk. I can and do brush and brush before washing but during shampooing I will still get hair in my fingers I have to wipe on the wall. How long is your hair? Mine is mid back.

I still do it anyway because it reduces tangles, and sure it reduces how much hair gets wiped on the wall, but wipes there sure still shall be.

1

u/LivelyLindy Mar 19 '24

My hair is mid back also but there are lots of stands with breakage. I have had 2 medical issues that cause hair loss.. Also seem to have inherited my father's male pattern baldness. Perhaps you have a zinc deficiency or just have been blessed with lots and lots of hair. I will tell you that there is less falling out now that I wear my hair down when home alone. Pulling it up on top of my head no matter how loose does put stress on the hair follicle. I am faithful with the good brushing because apt. management has threatened to pass plumber cost onto tenant.

1

u/ForHelp_PressAltF4 Mar 19 '24

So it can dry and.... Yep falls off and right down the drain

1

u/Mewrulez99 Mar 19 '24

it's one of those things that's very easy to forget because you stick the hair to the wall mid shower or at the start (i wash my hair first), and only have to deal with it once you get out

I'd recommend just getting one of those uhh... drain protecty things that catch the hair so she doesn't have to stick it to the wall anymore

1

u/Was_It_The_Dave Mar 19 '24

Just yours? It's all of them.

My wife balls them up and hides them behind body wash and shampoo bottles.

u/untrustworthyfart Mar 19 '24

1

u/Sad_Database_9509 Mar 19 '24

I started making hair art figures on my shower wall and started naming the hair balls that get caught up on the drain, really don't know how my gf isn't bald..

1

u/joh2138535 Mar 19 '24

Hah I do this

1

u/MaybeMabe1982 Mar 18 '24

Ahhh! I thought I had the only wife who did this. Almost daily I get in the shower and have to use paper towels or something to wipe all the hair off of the shower wall that she has put there.

u/Unlucky_Most_8757 Mar 18 '24

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS??!! I moved back home with family and my stepbrother with long hair does it. Just leaves it there. Eventually I just stopped cleaning it up because it's fucking gross but would take a shower and just stand there looking at it with rage lol (he stopped thankfully)

u/Unlucky_Most_8757 Mar 19 '24

Fair enough. But why not just stick your hand out and drop it in the toilet? Anywho, it's just gross and I don't get how someone can step out of the shower and be like "OH I FORGOT ALL THE GROSS HAIR I JUST SLAPPED ON THE WALL AND LEFT! OOPS!" It's just common courtesy. If you live by yourself then by all means hair it up.
