DEAR AMY: I walked into the bathroom at 5 a.m. today to find my husband standing in the dark, urinating into the bathroom sink. He said he was "in a hurry." The toilet was right behind him. He acts like it's no big deal. I've dropped my pills in the sink and retrieved them; I wash my face in there, etc. Now I don't even want to use the sink. What can I say to him or what can I do to make him stop?
Revolted
DEAR REVOLTED: Does your husband need to see the urologist or a neurologist? Does he have a sleep disorder, so he isn't fully awake when he is doing this? Does your bathroom need a night light? Urinating in the sink seems needlessly complicated (especially if the bathtub is nearby).
For the sake of argument, let's say that your husband is a normally functioning and healthy guy who is just in "too much of a hurry" or simply too lazy to turn around and use the toilet. You might be able to retrain him (and protect some of the cleanliness of the sink) by stretching a barrier of plastic wrap tight across the sink before you go to bed. He should catch on soon

Ok. Kidding. Kind of. But that's disgusting. I think I would resent having to potty train a grown man.
Yeah, pretty much. I'd have to seriously rethink my decision if my DH did that.

I cannot imagine in my wildest dreams doing this. Really gross.
A fraternity brother who lived in the EXPENSIVE dorm, with a private room and his own bathroom, told me once that he found himself doing that one night when he was a bit drunk.
He was pretty tall, the height of the sink from the floor worked for him.

I know of at least 3 guys who do this on a regular basis (NOT husband, thank goodness). It's gross.
They aren't the sort to wash sinks either.
It is just a selfish bad habit.
I think that'd be one thing I'd go off on him about. I mean a total, all out b fest on him. Thays nothing but lazy nastiness.
There isn't an excuse for it at all.

I can't picture any guy doing this deliberately, when there is a toilet right there. At least, not while awake and sober.

All the counters in my house are "comfort height" which means they are higher than your standard counter/sink to keep from having to back problems. It would take acrobatics or being built like John Holmes to pee in our sinks.

Okay, you talked me out of it. I won't pee in YOUR sinks.

I've been told guys do this in the restrooms at the Patriots game, because they don't feel like waiting in line. I imagine probably at other stadiums too.
Grody to the max.
