When a comedian has sweat patches on stage but they don't think twice about lifting their arms for a bit of the joke, or When they are holding the mic and wipe their sweaty forehead with their forearm.... oh god

I also like my dh when he's all sweaty after a run or workout. Oh god. He (rightly so) thinks I'm a filth bag for this.

I don't feel the same way about my own scent.

My partner has very waxy ears. I have a poke about in there with a cotton bud ( I know!) and then offer it to the cat, who goes mad for it and laps it up.
I cannot for the life of me remember how I discovered he loved to eat earwax, but it's part of our nighttime routine 3 or so times a week. Grin

I love pork scratchings too!!

picking my nose when it is really crusty.

I call it having a cornflake nose, when we regularly went to the SW of the US I would spend three weeks with a cornflake nose because the air was so dry.

Hoof trimming videos - hoof GP is my fave, followed closely by Nate the hoof guy. I've learnt loads about white line defects and digital dermatitis.

Cleaning mould out of things.

Belly button piercing gunk is better.

I’m seconding belly button piercing gunk. Especially when it gets a bit pussy and splats out when you squeeze it

Earwax. I love it when the kids have visible clumps of earwax that I can pick out. I have to have a good look at it before putting it in the bin 😂
Also picking scabs… I am only now realising how truly gross I am.

JudgeJ · 02/03/2023 22:07

Also enjoy farting in the bath

Ah, the poor person's jacuzzi, reminds me of Eddie Murphy in Trading Places.

AthenaPopodopolous · 02/03/2023 22:08

Smelling my own tonsil stones, and the faecal smell is quite satisfying!
Flossing teeth too and using the tweezers to scrape off plaque at the back of my two bottom teeth. Felt like I’d been at the hygienist.

What else could you call them?? 😁

Sleep?

UnctuousUnicorns · 02/03/2023 22:08

I don't like cutting my toenails; I'd rather just bite a bit at the side to start and then tear it neatly off. Soo satisfying. 😳 😅

PicnicBunny · 02/03/2023 22:09

apple cider vinegar on everything and drink it first thing lol my DH thinks it’s mental

Wtfwhy · 02/03/2023 22:10

Chewing blackheads - my own only though

AthenaPopodopolous · 02/03/2023 22:10

Oh and saving a fart for a right good ripper! This is why I’m single.

UnctuousUnicorns · 02/03/2023 22:13

Okay, some of you lot are seriously gross. 🤢 😂

FfeminyddCymraeg · 02/03/2023 22:14

Also dog eye bogies. The dog loves eating them and her sisters. I forgot how gross it is until I did it in front of my mother and she almost threw up 🙀

HotSauceCommittee · 02/03/2023 22:14

Farting and feeling it ripple up front between the flaps.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 02/03/2023 22:14

When I think there's one hair stuck in the plughole in the bath and I pull on it and an entire mouse sized clump comes out in one icky piece. (Thanks DD and your super-long and thick hair!)

Weird and nasty but oddly satisfying.

My DS has an ear wax issue - it balls in to lovely clumps which I love fishing out. Often with a hair grip (not in the inner ear before the mafia have a go at me!)

@HereHereSheSays

You will. Put my girl to sleep last week. She was 16. We had many a good feet licking sessions. Bless her…. 😂 🦶 👅.

UnctuousUnicorns · 02/03/2023 22:18

Whiteheads (or whatever they are) are great when you squeeze, and a long squiggly noodle of gunk emerges. Lovely.

Helpel · 02/03/2023 22:20

Cutting down the side of my big toenail when it's digging in, then pulling the shard out. Pain relief and so satisfying getting that chunk out.

IClaudine · 02/03/2023 22:21

This is pure Daily Mail fodder...

And uncooked stuffing. Just the mix with water, warm, in a bowl. Delish

Yes!!! thought that was just me, I am doing roast chicken this Sunday and am already looking forward to the bit where I sample the stuffing before it goes in the oven

Its so satisfying when you pick a crusty nose, glad I'm not the only one 😂
