to turn my nose up at this filth bag today, and tell him he was filth

[Mammie81]

Today, waiting in the doctors surgery for my MW appointment, a man with his wife lifted his top to reveal his skanky belly, had a good rummage in his cavenous belly button, scraped out the contents, examined them for a second and flicked it on to the floor in the centre of the room where we were all facing.

No one noticed but me.

I couldnt help it, my immediate reaction was to screw my face up in disgust and say "EEEEW! YOU are absolute filth!!!"

Was I BU? Or should I have wiped a bogey on his face just to illustrate my point?

YUUUUK. But yabu - sorry. Name the behaviour not the person.

It's hardly genocide.

Had I thought about it, I could have phrased a retort that fits with your guidelines.

But faced with a scabby bit of hairy belly cheese only inches from my foot, instinct kicked in!

Also, theres a play area in the middle of the seating bit. Kids sit on that floor! Eurgh, he was such a disgusting man

What was hiis reaction? And what did the other people do? [nosy]

He smiled at me. No teeth.

Oh and other people looked at the button produce and then turned away from him.

Sorry, his reaction, obvs.
Also, forgot where I was for a minute.
Have no opinion whether you were BU or not. Just nosy!

Maybe he was envious: after all pregnancy is the only time you can be sure you've cleaned down to the bottom of an innie.

well done

In that case, I now have an opinion. YANBU, he was being a dirty pig, and he knew it. eeeugh! -that's a sicky face, BTW, not jealous, which would be entirely inappropriate in the circs!

That has made me feel nauseous, well done you... i really can't get my head round people that do overly gross things especially in public, i had to click away from the Gym thread yesterday as it was making me feel sick... some people are just wrong!

Thats gross. Im glad you said something, I would have done too. Was he very old though? Sometimes older people lose their social graces.

Boke!!!
Some things are just knee-jerk, but knee-jerk for a reason.

YADNBU!!

OP, you might enjoy this thread on chat

or maybe not

Lucky you dont have a pregnancy craving for bum-fluff. You just might have had to indulge...

He wasnt old, probably about 40. And he looked very proud of what his stomach had made.

I dont think his wife understood english so didnt understand what I said, but she seemed perfectly happy with his behaviour. I wonder if he does it at home too

gross. i was at a talk at my ds's school last night and the woman sat 1 seat away from me took her shoe off and spent the whole talk picking at her smelly foot - i wasn't brave enough to say anything.

Only she and their Dyson know if he does it at home

at hairy belly cheese

that is the most repulsive expression I've ever heard
