Page 10 | What disgusting thing do you do?

I blow my nose on the washing before it goes in the machine... rather than find a tissue!

Newname71 · 26/03/2025 18:45

I periodically take my earrings out to clean them but have a good sniff of them first.
I pick my nose, I love a good big crusty one with a trail of snot behind it.
I clean my ears with hair grips , can’t trust a cotton bud, the ends fall off. I had a very embarrassing trip to A&E with one stuck in my ear.
I watch YouTube videos of people popping spots (pearl acne is my favourite).
I let the dog lick my feet.
OMG I’m gross!! 🤢

The thread wasn't asking about anyone's opinion, why so defensive? 😑

I was disappointed in the misandry too, it’s supposed to be a light hearted thread, would be nice to just have that without people people getting into man-bashing 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well that sounds like a good idea actually

I can't belive no one mentioned this already so probably I am one of the most disgusting ones :-) I pee in the shower (while showering obviously not all the time lol)

Use the same towel for over a week before it gets a wash, I'm clean when I dry myself with it then I hang it up to dry.

There’s a microbiologist (I think) on TikTok who swabs things on request then shows the results. A towel that’s been used to dry someone with after showering for a week had no more germs than the freshly laundered towel he swabbed to compare the results with, so not disgusting at all.

I have dyspraxia* (so I'm clumsy) and find it hard to eat with a knife and fork. I get the bags of pre made salad and (with clean hands) pick it up & put it in my mouth. I was eating chicken nuggets and chips tbh and working on my computer at the same time....

BatshitIsTheOnlyExplanation
Why is your bum sore after walking? Am I missing something?

I haven’t exercised for age, having been very fit, and slender, a couple of years ago.

Have recently restarted, but bigger than I was before. Probably tmi, but it’s been hot and sweaty here the past few days and my cheeks have rubbed together. Feels like nappy rash!
Bought an anti-chafing stick today so shouldn’t be an issue going forward!

Ahh. Good old Chub rub!! I get it between my thighs!

I do this and also have ADHD! Once bit through a nerve in my cheek and half my face went numb for weeks. Biting the inside of my cheeks and picking at my gums (dentist insists I just have receded gums even when I tell him I pick them, he’d never even heard of it being a thing). Currently avoiding the dentist as I’ve picked the gum so low the root of my tooth is exposed. Probably more gross than your picking lips but sounds like a similar compulsion!

I'm glad I'm not alone. Please try and see the dentist just for a checkup, if they're decent they won't be judgemental. It's funny the things people do to comfort themselves isn't it? X

There are just as many germs on the taps and the door handle. So when you come out of the stall, you turn on the tap, which leaves some germs and picks up some too. You wash the germs off your hands, then turn off the tap, getting more germs on your hands. Then you open the door, getting more germs on the handle, and picking some up as well. Then you go to the kitchen and turn on the tap to fill the kettle.

We're surrounded by germs. Good hygiene can reduce risk, but it can't stop you coming in contact with germs. And in shared loos, there's nothing you can do to avoid them, short of a hazmat suit.

Yes, you are touching germ ridden items right up until you wash your hands. Then, you turn off the tap using a paper towel or tissue, keeping your hands clean.

Personally, after washing my hands, I also use my shoulder to push open the main toilet door to avoid touching it with my freshly washed hands or use my sleeve to cover my hand if I need to pull the door open. Is that just me?

All these people doing disgusting things in a plume of urine droplets - and yet the human race survives and thrives.

Conclusive proof that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Sometimes I dust the bedside table, bathroom shelves etc with clothes im about to put in the wash. Socks, leggings etc

But aren’t you wiping sweaty socks over your house?

I love the idea of blowing ones nose on washing before it goes in. I need to time it right as I only ever have a runny nose when there's no tissue within a three mile radius. For some awful reason!

The thing I do is bite and chew and pick my lip and inside my mouth. It's so gross and means I'm obviously never able to have lip fillers.
I like to pull the skin off and like to taste the blood.
Gross I know. I think others do it but I don't know anyone who admits to it. It's like biting nails.
I think I have ADHD so that might be partly why?

If it was disgusting in my eyes, I wouldn't do it.

But people at the place I used to work at before having the kids gave me grief for not washing my hands after a wazz (i wash them after a poo obviously)

Sorry but that's definitely gross. If you use toilet facilities you need to wash your hands as you will inevitably be touching fittings such as doorhandles and locks that other people who have defecated have touched. This is how noro virus spreads.

Whenever you visit the loo, please wash your hands.

Not disgusting but weird

I sometimes climb the stairs on all 4s when dd isn't home 🤭

I do that nearly every day, know it weird, disabled but no funding in my area to put decent adaptions to my house.

I have occasionally dried the rim of mugs that have been draining on the draining board, so mostly dry other than a bit of damp around the rim, on my boobs (covered in bra and t-shirt) - they're just the right shape and you can do two mugs at a time before putting them back in the cupboard...Anyone fancy a brew? ☕😁

My favourite so far

caringcarer · 26/03/2025 18:21

I dip a Crunchie chocolate bar into my coffee and lick the chocolate off. 🤭

I squeeze my dogs (I have 6) anal glands go save a trip to the vet!

I have been shown how to do it properly by my vet who approved of me doing it at home.

I have a friend whose groomer does this, but without gloves!
God bless Hillary, and all who unknowingly shake her hand..

catmum44 · 26/03/2025 18:18

I do that! End up with bits of rubbish in pockets 😅😅

rosegoldJune · 26/03/2025 18:16

I wash my face & brush my teeth in the shower my reasoning is that the sink in my en-suite (shared house) is absolutely tiny & the plug is broken so I end up flooding the room & get toothpaste everywhere.

I also pick my toenails & feet, the feeling of nail clippers goes through me & my toenails have to be super short.

I’m also a bit of a picker. If I have a bump , lump, spot it’s gonna be picked. Sometimes I create spots and love picking of scabs or dry skin. So satisfying and addictive.

I love having hangnails. In fact I pick and pick at the skin to create them

Is this “disgusting”? Wash your hands, job done. My husband started doing our dogs during lockdown & continued to do them since.

hand, flannel, sponge, directional shower flow?
