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

As a bloke I find it quite weird how people get bent out of shape about this, i touch my willy to aim the stream, I don't piss all over my hands and then walk out the bathroom.

I used to work in ultrasound, when we’d scan testicles we’d ask men to hold their penis up towards their belly to pull their testicles up so we can scan them. I’d always have to suggest they might want to wash their hands before they leave. Some still declined to.

Rank.

Not me but I once watched a man in a Sainsbury's cafe use a fork to clean his fingernails.

Bite my nails. Including toenails.

My DD did this and it ended up nearly killing her. Transferred a strep A infection from her mouth to her toe! 5 very intense days in hospital, she could have lost her foot over it.

I dunk my bacon sandwiches in tea. I dont know why but everyone finds it revolting. I think it tastes absolutely banging 🤣🥲

Not disgusting but weird

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

my biggest issue with moving to a bungalow!

RareTraybake · 05/04/2025 18:13

All disgusting. Sorry.

cassie2and2 · 03/04/2025 11:18

Perhaps they wore them more than one day then😬 must admit to always setting w. machine to prewash for D H underpants😂

I use my face to stroke my cat. I love the smell of his fur.

Mollysocks · 02/04/2025 13:32

I sniff my dog’s paw pads, it’s a weird popcorn smell but I find it comforting.

My mum used to boil underwear ( knickers etc ) on the stove @cassie2and2

just wondering now if she used that pot to cook the food in too. Highly unlikely at the same time though 🤣

Couldn't get past the first page of this thread, yuk, can remember mother (I'm quite old) having to wash snotty hankies, used to have special bucket she put on the gas cooker to boil them up in, then went outside to tip the water down the drain. Thank goodness for tissues.

Memories!😊

Ever seen the images showing the range of fine mist splashback?

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!!!

When no one is around, I fart to my heart's content.

Doesn’t everyone?!

Love a good farting session 😂

I love picking my nose but I'm quite hygienic when I do it. Usually get myself a wipe and a hankie and go to town! When I was a kid, not so hygienic.. I used to stick my bogies behind my headboard at night and to stop my mum finding them I'd wait until they were dry then flick them at my sister across the bedroom lol...apart from that I was a very clean child

MIL's council house is like this. It really bothers me for some reason. I find myself wishing she had a handle on the bog door rather than a round knob, so that I could open it with my elbow rather than touching it with unwashed hands.

I've no idea why it bothers me so much, as I'm a complete slattern in most respects.

I think it’s a bit like I think other people’s toilets have distinct smells. It means very few outside of my own do I feel are clean and nice despite them probably all actually being clean they just are not mine and fragranced in the same way 😅

Though I agree a bar handle is much easier and nicer in many situations.

My friend did that and her daughter came along and picked her school dress off the pile of dirty laundry and wore it. Still makes me laugh ten years on.

I rarely walk up the stairs at home on my feet, I’ve always gone up on all fours ever since I was little. Obviously only at home, I’d look a bit of a pillock doing it in public
