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 Blush

Your turn!

I wait for DH to go to bed so I can sit and pick all the hard skin off my feet. I really enjoy it.

In fact, I consider it 'me time'.

But if he does it I go ballistic Grin

2ducks2ducklings · 30/01/2017 18:18
Grin I used to pick the skin in my ears so that I would have lovely, juicy scabs to pick at. I grew out of that though.
xxheytherexx · 30/01/2017 18:21

I had to namechange for this:
I love a good piss in the shower. I pick my nose and eat it. I don't wash my hands after a wee. If I'm about to fart I put my hand over my butt just so I can smell my hand and see how good it is. I pick scabs and dry skin and eat it. Yup, I'm minging.

Wetting myself laughing at the crispy little eyes on the floor 👀 Mostly because I sympathise as I also use contacts!

DioneTheDiabolist · 30/01/2017 18:27

I love farting, especially in the bath.

Screwinthetuna · 30/01/2017 18:30

I used to pluck my eyebrows and stick the hairs to the mirror. The black bulb thing at the bottom of the hair is surprising sticky Grin

joystir59 · 30/01/2017 18:31

Pick and eat bogies, fart absolutely loads- loud and gusty but not smelly, luckily. Don't wash hands after pee at home but always after poo, and always when going loo out somewhere. Always wash hands before preparing food. Pick toe nails and drop peelings down back of sofa (when home alone). Love picking scabs and eating them.

Urine is NOT sterile.

videos of dandruff flakes being peeled off
Will look later. Never thought of this

ArmySal · 30/01/2017 18:36

Grim not hand washing after the toilet, and eating snot Shock

Uugh, don't think I've got any like these Grin

Fluffy40 · 30/01/2017 18:36

I bite my nails, then chew them. Then spit them in a bin.

xxheytherexx · 30/01/2017 18:38

I forgot to add: I sometimes bite my toenails (never my nails though) and I occasionally suck my toes... I feel really gross

SeriousCreativeBlock · 30/01/2017 18:40

I get these things called tonsil stones and when I get one of these up I smell them. They're gross. Blush

MissVictoria · 30/01/2017 18:53

Not washing your hands after the toilet is disgusting. Inside the bladder is sterile (unless you have a UTI) but the urethra(tube from bladder) /outside of your body is NOT sterile and the urine picks up transferred bacteria (often fecal, the cause of most bacterial UTI) on the way out. Just because you use a wad of paper and don't get wet doesn't mean you haven't got germs on you. There's germs all over the skin in the genital/rectal area (which may well get flicked about by you wiping and end up on your hands), on the inside of your underwear, on the roll of loo paper, the flush handle, and if you leave the seat up when you flush atomised germs go everywhere in a roughly 6 foot radius, so all over you. You then pass those germs on to everything you touch, and everyone else who touches those things pass the germs on etc. Your bathroom at home has just as many germs as public toilets, being from someone else doesn't make them "dirtier" than the ones from yourself! How most of you haven't ended up ill is beyond me, as is how you can stand to live in a home with piss and shite germs spread all round it.

honeylulu · 30/01/2017 19:01

I love to burst spots and feel so proud of the emitted pus I wipe it on the edge of the mirror so I can come back and admire it later. Sticky yellow pus with a hard white core in the middle is my favourite.
should have name changed for this

Catch583 · 30/01/2017 19:05

When I'm home alone I lick my plate, standing well back from the window.
I frequently kiss my dog. NOT on the mouth.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 30/01/2017 19:16

Not washing your hands after the toilet is disgusting

Ewww, you're dead right it is!

CaoNiMa · 30/01/2017 19:17

Some of the best times of my life have been when I've had decent scalp scabs on the go.

I also grade and name farts. "The whistler", "the gun salute", etc.

Iknowimgross · 30/01/2017 19:18

I've name changed because this is really grim. After DTD me and DH will sometimes wipe any body fluids off with a towel that's been left in the bedroom. (We do wash it after if that helps)

ASongOfRiceAndPeas · 30/01/2017 19:19

Oh my god I do the same honeylulu Grin it's so satisfying.

JenniferYellowHat1980 · 30/01/2017 19:24

I have a nervous habit of pulling out individual eyebrow hairs with my fingernails. My brow line is a mess.

I also love to extract earwax with my fingernail (never a cotton bud, oh no).

Itsmytemporaryname · 30/01/2017 20:42

Well that's a terrifying reality missvictoria. It's a wonder any of us are still alive.

I wee in the shower. It's good for the environment, there was a statistical study done a few years back by UEA. So there. Science.

SpookyPotato · 30/01/2017 20:58

Loving the judging on this thread... no-one cares, the whole point is to share our gross habits. We know it's disgusting Grin

Slimmingsnake · 30/01/2017 21:05

I could add to this.....but then I'd have to name change..and that's to much effort
