I just learned (quite by accident) that my beloved uses the same cuticle scissors to clip his toenails and nosehairs. I am schkeeved.
The worst part? These are my scissors, the ones I use to snip split ends.
He just laughed at me.
Can someone explain this to me?
Anything worse to share,so I can look at him without mystified revulsion again?

I don't see anything wrong with this. If it troubles you ask him to sterilize the scissors after each use by dipping them in alcohol.
Much worse would be if your beloved insisted on using your toothbrush. |

While I agree it's gross, look at it this way. At least he isn't clipping hairs somewher else! |

Calli - been there.
When I found out my late husband was using my Tweezerman for everything from picking burned pieces of pot from his pipe to scraping things from under his toe nail, I realized we never had a rule about it, so I had no right to get miffed. Instead, I hid my Tweezerman and put a cheap tweezer in its place for whatever need arose.
Good lord men can be so dense! |

OK, Las, good point---so there wasn't a rule (silly me, I sometimes think certain things go without saying)
And you are right, JTA, I suppose I could have caught him using them for something far worse (I shudder to think...)I should be grateful he cares about his personal grooming...(although he IS getting a nose hair trimmer for his birthday---and it won't be a gag gift,because at least I won't be gagging.)
I am afraid, though, if I ask him to dip them in alcohol after each use, I'll have to lock up the Vodka! He is Mr. Literal,sometimes.
And Joan, thanks for the tip,I'll make sure I brush after he does (and check to see if mine is damp)
Men >sigh<

Given all the saliva sharing that goes on in the bedroom, I don't see what's wrong with sharing a toothbrush.
But yeah, I'd be pissed if someone used my cuticle scissors on his feet. That could spread fungus.

A former coworker used to clip her fingernails at her desk. When the office was reorganized, I was assigned to her desk. Needless to say I found clippings all over the place. |

I'd be pissed, he is going to bend them. Cuticle scissors aren't strong enough for toe nails.
In the earlster household, there is strict separation of my and her equipment. I hate to have to hunt for things like that. And then they get bent, used to open blister packaging, etc.
Mine are mine, mine, mine. Nobody elses.  |
