Does your Significant Other get angry at you when.......

clean blackpowder guns in the bathroom shower?

I mean, like, come on.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness right?
Showers are for cleaning right?
All the funk goes down the drain right?
So what is the beef?

Wish I knew she had fangs that long when we married.
I need a rabies shot now.

Yeesh, now she all mad at me for baking revolver parts in the oven.

What the hell?

While I don't do those things, I honestly can't remember the last time my GF got mad at me.

 

[Just Geri]

LOL

I permanently stained a dishwasher cleaning AK mags once. From then on out I always volunteered to load and unload the machine. She was none the wiser and I got points for being such a great husband.

Never get in trouble for when/how I clean guns.


Just out of curiosity, do you have any issues with flash rust when drying parts in the oven?

 

[Fast Frank]

I do that every time I shoot my Old Army.

I have a big plastic bucket I throw all the dis-assembled pistol parts in and then I head to the bathroom.

Yeah, it makes a big black mess in the tub for a minute or two, but it cleans up easily because the powder funk is dissolved in a heavy concentration of Dawn dishwasing soap.

I do it that way because it's the best way to deal with the mess.

If the wife walks in and sees the black nasty, she is sure to complain. It's not like she will bite my head off. I gently remind her that this is the standard way of cleaning up a serious mess and none of the many other times I did it resulted in even the smallest problem for her.

She doesn't make a big deal about it but I know she sees it as somehow abusive to the poor unsuspecting bathtub.

I have never cleaned gun parts in the tub or kitchen sink.
Motorcycle parts are a whole 'nother story. Have used the dinner and coffee table to spray paint small parts as well.
And yes, the result was pretty much the same. Women just don't understand such things.

So is it the cleaning gun parts in the shower or leaving her the mess to clean up afterwards that gets her angry?

I got scolded for all the following at least once:
- Scratches on the garage wall from rifle front sight posts as I lean them against the wall after a range day.
- The scent of pine tar in the garage and my hands for 3 days as the TOM'S 1/3 mix cures.
- Using baby wipes for cleaning my firearms more than my baby's butt.
- Forgetting spent shell cases in my pocket, that eventually get washed and clink around the washer/drier.
- Exactly 1/2 of the garage dedicated to reloading and firearms... nothing else allowed.
- A trash can that smells more like Hoppes than the scented bags we buy.
- Our 4 bedroom house, that is technically a 3 bedroom house since we have a dedicated gun room.
She knows that cleaning is a must, thus I rarely get flagged for that.

I had a GF who got mad at me for cleaning my guns on my mahogany table that I had before I met her, I said "excuse me, didn't I buy this table?", that went over real well. I think it was about a week before she would speak to me.

Yes.
The parts rust but they immediately get oil coated on removal.
Its very light and comes right off with a thorough wipe down.

Nope.
I clean out the shower when done with the iron.

 

[Fast Frank]

You clean the shower out with her iron? I see why she gets mad!

I tried this tactic. Once.
Bought my house before we met. Said the same thing you did.
After the nuclear explosion it was Silent Treatment for weeks.

Come to think of it those were some pretty nice weeks.

Ta...da....boom....swish.

 

[BRD@66]

Wait! Tell me more about this concept of cleaning firearms.

 

[Army 1911]

I don't have this problem. We have two bathrooms. A his and a hers. That way I don't have to yell at her for leaving the seat down.

GAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
SHUN THE HERETIC!

Guns are pretty insignificant compared to cylinder heads and engine blocks.
