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!

No cats EVER on my kitchen surfaces-they're not even allowed in the kitchen.

Bathmat and bras not washed as often as they should be. And another scalp scratcher - gather it into a ball and squish it for a bit. Goes in the bin after though.

I love a good spot squeeze. DS1 has started developing blackheads on his nose and it is sooo satisfying to get them out! He won't let me do it very often though as it is grim (not as grim as having visible blackheads imo).

I probably don't wash my bras often enough if I'm honest.

I eat stuff that's past its sell by date.

Other than that I am not too disgusting I don't think. My sons on the other hand...

Love this thread! Name changed...
I pick my nose and eat bogies.
I pick my belly button and sniff my fingers.
I love picking at scabs.
I pick my toe nails and chew them.
I use my hair as dental floss when something gets stuck in my teeth.

I put my makeup on in bed.

I don't wash bedding as often as most others do according to a recent thread.

I put dishes in hot water and forget about them until the water goes too cold to rinse the grease off. But I sometimes wash them in cold water anyway...

Yes I pick my nose (but never eat it) and thought everyone did.

I sometimes chew my toenails off. I'm quite flexible despite my age!

I sometimes sniff the armpits of clothes I haven't worn in a while to check if they're fresh enough to wear again.

I don't iron my clothes.

Phew, this is cathartic!

I rarely wash my coffee mug - will just rinse it out between uses

I still don't see what's so bad about not washing hands after a wee at home if you haven't got anything on your hands from it

You have germs on your hands, you just can't see them.

I have no words to describe how utterly repulsive this is.

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)
we do this too, I have a special designated towel that we use

A friend doesn't wash her hands because she doesn't wipe herself after a wee - she says she drip dries and then just pulls up her pants without touching anything.

I was speechless (no, that's not a picture of me burping at DP!)

GoesDown really??? I'd have been tempted to ask how bloody long that takes?!

I've been in public toilets with her. Not long at all.

(Which I suspect means a damp pissy gusset!)

I am astonishingly lax at washing jeans. If they are not visibly dirty, they don't get washed.

I also loooove spot squeezing but so rarely get them. My OH, on the other hand, is quite, ahem... oily. He occasionally lets me squeeze the ones on his back/shoulders if I'm lucky.

It's grim but oh so satisfying.

Caenea I read something about putting jeans in a freezer to refresh them if they're not visibly dirty, never done it though. I think it was the Levi's guy talking about his own jeans cleaning recommendation.

GoesDownif there's a grim award I think your friend should have it!

Hahaha my grandma once read you should do that with tights, to stop them laddering.

She then forgot all about them. Found them a few weeks later and thought that she had a steak she had forgotten about. Put them on a plate to defrost and toddled off to buy some chips to have with it...

Gutted!!

I use the same mug for days at a time. Also the same plastic beaker for dissolving soluble painkillers. I also pee in the shower sometimes.

@Noodoodle - I had heard that too but unfortunately I need to play the freezer roulette game! Batch cooked a tonne before the sprogling arrived and there's god knows what in there...

music we have a bedroom towel too for after dtd.

This thread is making me feel sick. However, I also partake in a few of the things mentioned :D

Farting in the bath then smelling it for me.

Bleeerurgh, this is so gross! I feel faintly nauseous. But I'm clearly a cruddy disgusting person too as I can spot myself in a few - but not all! - of the behaviour listed.

I have a bristly black ingrown hair on my chin that I'm obsessed with. Nothing gives me satisfaction like pulling it out! It looks invisible to everyone, but I just know when it's come through! I've even become a dab hand at pincing it out with just my nails as I just can't wait to get to a tweezer. Then when I pull it out it's always a lot longer than it looked because it was ingrown. Gaaah, so satisfying.

Wow. I have never written that down before.

MN is why I stopped buying at bake sales.

The unforgettable "I don't wash my hands after changing the baby" thread.

Ewww to the no hand washing. I was my hands all the time, despite having dermatitis.

My bad habit is squeezing spots.

Jesus with the rabbit shit and general none hand washing!

I'm a nurse, would you be happy with me saying I didn't wash them? Even if "you haven't peed on them" you're still touching the flusher, maybe the toilet seat? It's honestly awful
