What disgusting things did you do as a child?

[Cheeseandlobster]

I decided to catch my own poo in a pot that had holes in it to have a closer look. I then hid it in my wardrobe.

I ate a boiled egg that had been decorated and been sitting in my classroom for god knows how long. I am actually surprised I didnt die

I licked a fish head I found on the beach in Wales numerous times.

I was a little bit sick in my bed and was worried I would be told off so i moved it to the bottom of the bed and slept in it until the bedding was changed. I can still remember if stretched out my toes would touch its cold lumpiness

I am someone now who loves being clean and is hot on food hygeine and am truly aghast at my disgusting younger self not envy in the slightest

Oh god, horrible. So sorry that didn't occur to me. Glad you've reported @EdwardCullensBiteOnTheSide.

That's the second time I've had a post deleted for quoting a deleted post. Obviously the original post was not deleted when I quoted it.

Fair enough but I am now wondering what it was about, I can't remember and it's niggling away at me! It must have been something quite controversial....
.......goes away and thinks.

I once made a "spaghetti bolognese" from nail clippings and snot.

None of these have phased me but yours really made me gag!

Aged four or five I played a game of my own invention entitled "how far can you swallow the ball bearing while being able to bring it back up again". At a certain point the inevitable happened and I swallowed the ball bearing irretrievably. I had to have an X-Ray and poo in a potty for the next week so my parents could mash up the poo and try to find the ball bearing to make sure it had gone all the way through. I don't know what the point of that was though because they didn't find it, but no further action was taken...

I used to eat raw bacon.

In my defence raw bacon is nice

I used to eat raw bacon rind - I loved it. I still would.

I got a microscope for my birthday and, having run out of interesting things to look at decide to look at a bogey. I showed my mum and she was like, wow! That's amazing- what is it? And when I told her she was disgusted.

My sister loved liver, and I hated it. Once when mum was slicing the raw liver, she grabbed the paper it was wrapped in and licked the blood off it! Then smirked at me! Weirdly she wasn't ill.....which annoyed me.

Some of these have made me lol. But some are quite upsetting. OP, I cant believe your mum used to threaten to rub your face in sick - what an abusive bitch!

My strange habits seem pretty standard: eating dog biscuits; picking scabs and eating them; eating bogeys; kissing the dog's gums.
My brother used to blow his nose on the curtain lining next to his bed. It was all stuck together and disgusting.

I think the only bathing once a week and using fairy liquid to wash your hair were pretty standard in the late 70s - but we used to do this too.
