AIBU to ask what are your 'disgusting' habits

[FatBottomedGal]

There are loads of things that are generally frowned upon that I'm sure loads of us do - I want to hear yours!

My input - I don't always wash my hands after I pee. I don't pee on my hands always see the need and soap sometimes irritates my hands

Your turn!

Wife you're not going to eat at other people's houses because of lax hand washing habits but you allow your cats on your worktops? I hope you see the hypocrisy there?

Sigh. Tomorrow's Daily Mail, then? "Secrets of the Slummy Mummies - What DO These Haggard Old Harpies Do All Day? Their Confessions Will Shock You."

Cats on the work tops is far grimmer than not washing hands after having a wee.

yeah, i'm a hypocrite AND a slattern.

(i do antibac my worktops twice a day and i defy anyone to stop cats going where they want)

I pick my nose

well I think we all do that from time to time, in the privacy of our own home when no-one is watching.

and eat the bogies

Noooo!!!! Please say it isn't true. Bleeeuggh that is SO FUCKING GRIM, why would you do that?

I never saw the attraction of that even when I was a small child.

wait, this is going to be like that time i said i hadn't washed my bathmat for 2 years isn't it.

I don't always wash my hands after a wee but use tons of loo roll and also use a piece to push down the handle as that's the part that worries me - I also pull open the door by reaching to the top of it so I don't touch where anyone else has in the house ... I also get chapped hands because other than that I wash my hands before preparing any food and during and after and I use oilatum soap a lot to stop them cracking ... I also wash my hands after handling the post. Having said that I hardly ever go out and I'm the only one in the house at the mo who has a nasty throat/cough/cold type virus so a little bugger germ got me anyway

I also love tearing my toenails short i.e. ripping the excess length off, not the whole nail, obviously. It's just so satisfying.

exWifebeginsat40 - I bought a lovely bath mat and it wouldn't spin in the washer and nearly broke it so now I use hand towels on the floor (only used for that purpose though now) - with my DH and 2 x teenage boys I couldn't not wash a bathmat - it would be walking out on it's own after a week ugh

Even if you did wee on your hands, it's sterile. Its the toilet seat/lid/handle that you need to worry about, touched by all those other people who don't wash their hands.

I belched at the weekend and blew gently in DP's direction so he could share the joy.

He went absolutely ballistic, said it was "like going out with a fucking bloke" and stormed off.

"I belched at the weekend and blew gently in DP's direction so he could share the joy."

That is fucking minging.

I love a good pick of my scalp. It started when I had chicken pox as a child .

DD currently has scabs after a bout of the pox and the urge to pick them off is almost overwhelming.

Nothing too shocking on this thread IMO.

I just love a good old fart.

DD3 tells me off for it. Apparently she never farts.

I was eating the other day (alone)and I realised that I resembled a pig in a trough. I would never have eaten that way in company.
Whoever belched in their partners face. That's just gross. If someone did that to me I'd dump them. Did you make it up for shock value?

I can't believe that people don't wash their hands after using the loo!

However, I roll and flick my snots, so bit of a hypocrite there...

Oh god you're all on DP's side. I accused him of a massive over reaction. It was only a little burp!!

My friend once did it to me and the smell of fried egg 🍳 really did make me retch.

I don't pick my nose, I always wash my hands after going to the toilet, I wash my bedding and my bra and my hair v regularly...

I pick my nose and eat it too. I've read it builds immunity. I very rarely get colds, usually just one a year and it doesn't last long either.

And I never washed my hands after petting my cat either unless cooking for others.

I forgot to take my contacts out fairly often so I lay in bed and flick them on the floor..then end up standing on a crispy little pile of eyes hidden in my carpet.

Surprised no one has yet mentioned peeing in the shower. So there's that. And I never eat bogies (ew) but have been guilty of flicking in car or wiping on side of bed as mentioned by a previous poster.

And another mumsnet thread fave. We are all bath sharers here. Seems such a waste not to have a quick relaxing dip if it's still hot. Not for washing purposes, I also shower daily. We do have standards though. No one with a tummy bug gets to share

Like a PP my bras and the washing machine don't see each other too often.

yeah i do most of whats already been mentioned and i also occasionally always chew my toenails after ive cut them.
fuck im a minger!!

yeah, i'm a hypocrite AND a slattern.

Me too! I always grin knowingly when people claim their cats don't go on the surfaces.

FWIW, I may not wash my hands after a wee at home but you'd be safe eating here. I wash them several times while cooking and clean surfaces before and after use and am very thorough with the washing up
