My wife put the shit pusher in the dish washer
I had used it the other night and had to pull it out from the other bathroom in order to make it work. It was dirty and she putit in the dishwasher with almost nothing else, but I’m a little fucking skeeveed by it.
Edit: thanks all. I’ll run it again with vinegar at the hottest and feel better about it. No divorce. Thanks for your help.
A few years ago I discovered that my girlfriend takes monster shits. She only poops once every 3 or 4 days. When I say "horse turd", I'm not kidding, just looking at one of these makes my ass hurt. Anyway, apparently this sort of thing isn't unheard of. I stumbled on a Reddit post about something called a "poop knife". I repurposed my shittiest chef's knife (pun intended) for this task, which has cut down on the number of times I have to plunge the toilet. We wash it off every time with tile cleaner, so it never goes in the dish washer. I've blunted the edge since it doesn't need to be sharp, and my girlfriend is a complete klutz. I can easily imagine her dropping it and cutting off a toe. Imagine having to explain to an ER doc cutting your toe off with a poop knife.
Lol at all the people who want to throw out the whole appliance. Wait until they find out how much former piss is in all sources of water, what allowances there are for gross things in prepared food, and what's on every surface in human environments. Earth is one big mixing pot.
Give it a steralise cycle and it'll be cleaner than the counters around it, by any objective measure.
I am curious about the almost nothing else bit. What got put in the poo-poo cycle?
Edit: Psychology is another thing, and that's valid I guess, but man I can't imagine having disposable dishwasher kind of money.
Run the dishwasher in sanitize with like nothing else in it? Might at least make it acceptable in your mind
I think you’re right. I’ll do that thank you. Maybe extra detergent.
You can get dishwasher cleaner, to be used monthly on a hot cycle while empty.
Also, your wife should not do disgusting things. My dad put sandals in once and we shamed him for years.
Also take the filter out and wash it in the sink (unless yours is the filter-less kind)
Some sex toys are dishwasher safe, it's not a big deal.
(I'm talking about the shitpusher, not about the croc. No idea why you included a dirty toilet in the pic tho.)
I don't think that's equivalent.
Many people happily lick the areas where sex toys are used.
Far less people would do so where toilet plungers tend to be applied.
Similar to the blood-brain barrier, we have a kitchen-bathroom barrier policy. Tools for each space should never cross, even cleaning tools. So even brushes for the sinks are separate.
It's important that you know this: That's a shit puller, not a shit pusher.
I mean, it always seems like it is pulling water into the cup and pushing it down the pipe at great speed to unclog it, but maybe I’ve been using a plunger wrong. I don’t really get enough of a seal around the edge to create a pulling force.
I see a lot of people having sink plungers next to their toilets. That might work for some things, but they might as well be using any other object.
When a pipe is clogged it's basically impossible to push anything through. It's stuck for a reason. The pushing motion might compress the clog somewhat, but it's really the pulling which causes it to move backwards and hopefully unclog it. This usually requires a plunger that actually seals the opening, or you'll have to push and pull until the water itself gets in motion to pull back the clog.
Another trick for unclogging toilets is to fill a bucket of water and pour it in a steady stream from as high as you can reach. Obviously start pouring from the seat and then lift the bucket while pouring. The gravity from the height will create a very strong narrow stream with enough force to pierce through or wash back the clog.
You don't have to get a seal. You just push it in. Then quickly pull it out, push it in, pull it out, push it in, ... until the water drains freely again. The pushing-pulling iteration creates enough negative pressure to get the job done quickly without a seal. But don't wear your best clothes.
I always did it wrong, until a plumber showed me how to do it.
(Side note, this is for a european/german toilet. Might be different in the US, US toilets are just insane.)
almost nothing else...? Cmon OP, you've gotta elaborate there. What ended up taking a swim with the turd stick?
Your dishwasher uses soap and hot water to clean everything in it and the washer itself.
This is no big deal.
Trust me chances are nastier stuff than your plunger has been in the washer.
What exactly is it that you are Asking Lemmy?
Um. What would you do? Sorry if it seemed like I was bragging.
Where’s my Lemmy Gold when I need it
I'd look at her like she were an idiot and tell her to use the faucet in the tub.
Note that none of the words in the above sentence include posting this on the internet or asking what I should do because I'm a grown adult that can manage handling minor annoyances on my own. I acknowledge that this concept may seem foreign to people under the age of 25.
Fake your death
Grow a beard
Change your name
Move to Brazil
Etc
Buy a new dishwasher
Lol came to say the same thing
dishwashers are fireproof, right? you know what, only one way to find out
I’m a little fucking skeevee to buy it
Skeeved by the idea that the plunger that had poop in/on it was in his dish washer, where his dishes go, where his food goes before its in his mouth.
Skeeved by it, got it, thanks! My pedantry for spelling was overriding my reading comprehension skills 😆
For me personally it's the "almost nothing else" that went into the dishwasher with the plunger that truly pushed the narrative into holy shit territory.
What, you're going to run the dishwasher with only one item in it?
the bathroom dishwasher, yeah.
Thank you for my morning laugh (literally out loud at that)
It's actually not a big deal.
Run it with vinegar. Full a bowl with vinegar and place it on the top rack and run it with the hottest steam setting. 100% sterile inside afterward.
If she ran it with a very hot heated dry setting with the plunger, it's possible it's all disinfected anyway. Lots of people used the dish washer to sterilize jars for canning. The steam from the drying cycle is hot enough and last long enough to pasteurize everything.
dish washer to sterilize jars for canning
Household Dishwashers do not sterilise, they only sanitise at best (with a 65° (150°F)). For sterilisation of all microorganisms including spores they would need to heat up to 120°C (250°F) for several minutes.
That being said you most likely breath in your own poop particles all the time, so sanitation may be enough.
it's part of our microflora that floats around us.
It's just a social convention.
A mere faux pas.
Great title.
Divorce her
I tried to imagine loving someone enough to forgive this and failed.
Forever unclean!
Well... my former roommate put the hair sieve from the shower into the full dishwasher. Like wtf. Sterilised anything by liquid fire afterwards.
I mean, of all the things, a hair sieve really isn't that dirty.
hair sieve
well... not sure about yours but ours definitely was.
I would have used the opportunity to clean my toothbrush
I personally would throw the dishwasher away, and before that, permanently damage it to make sure no poor soul picks it up from the trash thinking they scored a free dishwasher without knowing it was once used to wash literal shit.
I would never be able to ever eat anything from any dish every washed on that machine, but again, that's me and my personal emotional reaction to it. I understand that if it reaches 90C it technically kills all bacteria or something. But I would still refuse.
For that same reason I never buy used kitchen utensils, because I have no way to know what has be used for before.
It's not like you have to worry about getting someone's old poop knife. Nobody would ever get rid of that.
I think 70°C for a long enough time is already enough. But yeah, I'd also throw it away.
It's called a plunger. I'm sure you likely know that but I assume nothing anymore when it comes to the stupidity of other humans.
OP writes a funny title that make people laugh
You write a mean comment that makes people sad
Wow, what a funny incident, I guess I'll keep quiet about mine because I'm so damn ashamed.
Make her watch something absolutely disgusting that no one should ever watch without knowing what they are getting themselves into >!2 girls 1 cup!< and ask her if she would ever use that glass again to eat out of.
And that now that's all you can't think about when you use anything that comes out if the dishwasher
