People have varying perceptions regarding hygiene.

How would you react if your partner’s thoughts about hygiene didn’t line up with yours? Would you agree to disagree, or would you try to get them to see how unhygienic they’re being?

This man was upset when he saw his partner use a dirty sponge to clean dishes, but she didn’t think it was a big deal.

Who was right? Read the full story below for all the details.

AITA for raising my voice arguing with my partner for using the “dog accident” sponge in the kitchen sink

My partner and I have two dogs.

One’s still a puppy.

We’ve got a designated sponge we use to clean up any pee/poop accidents.

We keep it in a basket with the rest of the dog stuff.

This man saw his partner use the dirty sponge on the dishes.

Today, I saw my partner washing the dogs’ bowls in the kitchen sink using that sponge.

It’s the one that we use to clean up their accidents.

The sink had other stuff in it, too like plates, cutlery, etc.

I got visibly upset because to me that’s just really unhygienic.

It’s like cross-contaminating poop and pee bacteria in the food area.

She didn’t think it was a big deal.

She said it’s not a big deal because everything goes in the dishwasher afterwards.

But I couldn’t get over how gross it felt to me.

I kept asking why she thought that was okay.

She said I was being patronising.

Now, he can’t trust her judgment regarding hygiene.

Now, she’s upset.

And I don’t know if I can trust her decision when it comes to hygiene especially since I can’t see what other things she does.

AITA for reacting the way I did?

If they have a dedicated sponge for dog accidents, it seems like she’s not treating it as a dedicated sponge but just a regular sponge.

Let’s read the reactions of other users to this story on Reddit.

The poop sponge on the dishes? Now, that’s just vile.
