Sooo 
java_fiend and I often talk about our ex's (in a "I can't believe we put up with that!" sort of way). And one thing I have to say about some of mine is that they were... interesting. I had to train one of them how to brush their teeth, shower and wash their face. And he was an adult. I'm not even kidding there, I wish I was.
It brought to mind an idea for a poll. Maybe I am just OCD about being clean (as isjava_fiend thankfully. My ex used to whine if i asked him to brush his teeth since it had been a week and I really didn't like kissing someone who hadn't been near a toothbrush in forever. Then he would use my toothbrush which grosses me out followed by swiping his finger over the bristles to "clean" it when I can't remember the last time he washed his hands.
Considering I have a firm rule that toilet seat goes DOWN when it gets flushed to prevent fecal matter from flying up and onto my toothbrush, the idea of someone else's possibly dirty hands on the bristles of my toothbrush makes me gag. Yet I lived with it for years.
I'd remind him that toothbrushes were cheap, I'd often buy him one of his own. But he always said he liked mine better even as I would give him my old one and buy a new one for myself. He was the type who had to push buttons and boundaries (the main reason he's an ex), but seriously now... There's no reason for that.
But it did bring together a poll for all of you. Enjoy!

I haven't, but I'd be open to doing so
