Screwed up again, apparently.

So I was washing the dishes last night. Well, washing some of the dishes, while loading others into the dishwasher next to me. Not everything can go in the dishwasher, but my point is that I was being a dutiful, responsible husband, right?

Then I felt a sneeze coming on. My hands were wet, and covered with soap, and besides, there were no tissues convenient. Thinking fast, I leaned into the dishwasher, and let loose with a massive, gale-force sneeze. Why not? I was planning on loading it with detergent and running it in a few minutes anyway. One would think that my wife would congratulate me on my MacGyver-like improvisation skills, not to mention recognize the environmental bonus of not wasting a tissue. But no, I got treated to another "what-the-fuck-is-wrong-with-you?" lecture.

I asked her why she didn't object last week when pretty much the same thing happened while I was loading laundry into the washing machine. Turns out she didn't know about that. Whoops.

There are a LOT of crappy husbands out there. Us good ones are sorely underappreciated.

does she know about the time you pee'd in the sink?

Holy shmoly, DJinn! WTH?! I'd ask you what you were thinking, but you explained that. Your wife's question is better.

Does any guy (but me of course) actually get out of a shower (soaking wet) & slip over to the toilet to pee?

Edit:
To any other SCUBA divers out there: How do YOU warm your (wet-suited) self at 90' in ice cold water/Half-way through a dive?
(on a similar note: Anyone looking for a used wet-suit?)

Good god no. I pee in the shower all the time, though I make a dedicated effort to aim directly for the drain.

Also, I dry myself in the shower stall, and when I step out, I hold the towel in front of me, stepping on the end carefully, so my wet feet don't soak the bathroom carpet.

See? Thoughtful!

I really don't see a problem with sneezing on dishes that are about to be washed in a dishwasher unless you blew a big honking snot on them. It's a little odd, but I don't see where anything other than, "you know you're supposed to do that into your elbow, right?" is warranted.

Okay...see...men are kinda disgusting. I'd change teams, but I'm not attracted to women.

My wife does mostly all the cooking, and i do the cleanup, she is quite happy with that and just leaves the kitchen to me after dinner, no complaints. I still put some of the dishes away in the wrong place, but she shrugs it off and finds them eventually. I do dishes by hand, no dishwasher in my house.

Do I need to remind you (and Babba) the purpose behind the "automatic dishwasher?" It cleans dishes! It doesn't matter whether it's day-old congealed bacon fat, or the effluvia of a sneeze! Actually, I'm thinking that the dishwasher would do a better job on the sneeze residue, since bacon-fat is oil-based.
