What disgusting thing do you do?

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

When I was at uni, my room was two floors up from the bathroom, so I’d often wee in a pint glass. One night I’d got home pissed, woke up and had a pint glass piss then gone back to sleep. Woke up in the morning desperate for a wee and grabbed the pint next to my bed and had a couple of big gulps before realising something was wrong 🤢.

As per my name, I also rinse my Mooncup out in the sink, but thankfully AIBU told me that it was ok.

I do sometimes, however, pick my nose and wipe it on things which I don’t think people would approve of so much…

Ahhh the beloved bedpost aging system, if you count the layers you can tell how many years old it is.

When I’m tidying up I kind of treat myself like a human bin if I find a crisp on the sofa or something.

my mum dusts the telly with her fluffy cat.

"my mum dusts the telly with her fluffy cat."
Please say this is a euphemism.

DD worked winter wonderland in our town, she had to clean the glasses from last year for this year - many of them were mouldy but still had to be used.

I sometimes pluck my public hair when relaxing in bed, it helps me relax. Then once I’ve got enough, I empty down the loo in my en-suite.

I also pick my nose, sometimes with tweezers.

When I have a cold, I’ve been known to wait until no one’s coming in the path, then hold one nostril and propel the contents of the other on the grass.

I think we’re all pretty weird at times!

My mum used to pull out her armpit hair... she was a bit of a hippy in the 70's and I remember her sitting at the table pulling at her pits!

Eeeww!! That’s just reminded me of something….. I shared a bottle of water with my youngest when he was little. The mouthful I took was full of chewed up crisps 🤮🤮

Itsabeautifulthing · 25/03/2025 19:39

I used to LOVE picking my kids noses when they were babies 🤣 couldn't do it now though 🤢 but when they were babies it was my favorite 🤣

UndermyShoeJoe · 25/03/2025 19:39

How do you pick a nose with tweezers. I’d be worried I’d stab myself.

babasaclover · 25/03/2025 19:37

UndermyShoeJoe · 25/03/2025 19:02

I won’t even share a glass of water with my lot. In or out of me 🤣

So many things! One of the worst is a ‘jug piss’ - I sometimes wee in the Pyrex jug to see how much in ml I’ve produced, and check the colour, clarity etc.
I once (god knows why) confessed this to my DH, and instead of being horrified and leaving me instantly he turned it into some kind of competition and saved up his wee for 18 hours or so to produce a 2 pint badboy, smashing any PB I’ve held before or since. I have a picture of him posing with it proudly somewhere 🤣

(Discretely) wee outdoors if I'm caught short. Sometimes I just suddenly have to go... I'm often with walkers / cyclists / runners etc who accept a nature wee is part of life if you're out and about for hours... but I know MN thinks this is horrific!!

I call it a wild wee. It’s strangely liberating!

You already have those bacteria on your own body.

My hands don’t have the same microbiota as a penis.

Also re wear my sweaty workout clothes but I couldn't keep up with the washing otherwise.

Glitchymn1 · 25/03/2025 19:27

Weird or dirty….
I hate to break it your ladies but not all women wash their hands after the loo either.
Once when I was in uni a friend emerged from the bathroom and I noticed blood on her hand- and said what’s that…yep period blood down the index finger. Ok students have low standards!
In the work restroom, senior manager emerges from toilet, straight out the exit (I was drying my hands in tissue).
She bakes cakes for the office too- I dread to think.

I talk to myself- a lot 🙊😆

@catin8oot5 a real live cat???

I do picky nose of it's a big uncomfortable one and shamed to say I usually flick it away.

Also squeezing spots/blackheads or watching videos of said squeezing

A relative used to burp out entire sentences. As a child I found it hysterical.

So a shared work bathroom and you didnt wash your hands after a wee?

So you flushed the chain and touched the lock on a shared bathroom ?

Thats rank!!!

Show quote history

Not as rank as you touching your keyboard, security pass, mouse etc. Really, it's quite quaint to regard a toilet and - gasp - a lock as the root of All That is Rank and Filthy when your regular office stuff is exponentially Ranker

What disgusting thing do you do?

Remember never use unsealed cups in hotels. They use the same towel they clean the whole bathroom with to clean / dry the cups 🤢🤢
