HUsband says it is weird to not keep plunger in the house

Do you store the toilet brushes out there too?

BTW - the toothbrushes in the house are probably as germ filled, or more, especially kids toothbrushes.

It is currently kept in a shed on the side of our house. He thinks it is weird not to keep it in one of the bathrooms and that no one keeps it outside of their house. I don’t want it in the house because it is germ filled, and why is it a big deal to get it from outside if a toilet is clogged? Thoughts appreciated.

Don't worry about your husband. You seem like a really great and nice wife. He is lucky to have you. He should respect and appreciate you more. I would never treat you like that by calling you weird. He should be more considerate towards you. I hope your husband realizes that he has the greatest gift ever, and that he should cherish you. Your an angle. If your ever in Tulsa we can go for coffee.

Regarding your last two sentences, it should be "you're", not "your". Also, it is spelled "angel", not "angle".

You are a moran.

Do you have an attached garage or unfinished basement? I worry about you having to go outside when it is storming/freezing cold to get the plunger to solve a toilet emergency. I'm with your husband here, and definitely at least 6/10.

Plungers are stored in the bathrooms.

You are a nutter, it must be a chore to be married to you.

Tell him you think he's weird for keeping his fetid underwear next to his skin.

The kitchen sink is probably the dirtiest place in your house. Do you keep that outside?

Yes the plunger is dirty, but not having it handy could cause larger problems, such as your toilet backing up all over your bathroom floor.

You should have an outhouse then because a toilet is never very clean either.

Buy a new plunger for $5 and put it in your bathroom. It won't have any toilet germs on it. If you ever have occasion to actually use your plunger, throw it away and get another one for $5 (unless you have really bad plumbing, this shouldn't come up very often at all).

OP, you're smart keeping the plunger outside the house. Why do so many people here find their toilets in need of plunging on a semi-regular basis? I can count on 1 hand the number of times I had to plunge a toilet and none of those times involved an overflowing toilet bowl.

It isn't germ filled, because it's rinsed off with water.

However, do you keep the toilet, and the kitchen sink in the shed?

He's trying to politely tell you that he takes awfully massive dumps and desperately needs the plunger in the bathroom to dislodge the mess. My guess.

Banana Bread strikes again...fellas, he's out here tryna steal your girl

I keep one in my guest bathroom so if a guest clogs the toilet, they dont have to announce that they just took a massive dump and need to unclog the toilet. Some people would find that embarassing.

Really? I take it as a source of pride

I am a full believer in a plunger in every bathroom. I don't think any guest (or resident) should have to go to the bathroom without the comfort of a plunger nearby in case it is needed. To me a bathroom with an obvious plunger is more welcoming than one without.

Plus if a guest is bored, they can suction the thing to the shower floor and go to town on the "shaft" end.

I have a question unrelated to the plunger issue.

Do you like the song "Walking in Memphis"?

Correct answer right here.

You never want a guest to have to walk out of your bathroom looking for a plunger. If you NEVER have guests then outside is fine.
