AIBU to ask what are your 'disgusting' habits

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 used to have my navel pierced but I took out the ring (too old for it to be cool anymore). The hole is still there and every couple of weeks after a shower I squeeze the built up navel cheese out of the hole... and smell it. It's vomitously addictive Blush

I knew my cats went on the worktops but didn't fully realise the extent of the issue until we moved house and our new kitchen has a worktop that shows every single paw print. It's is literally disgusting. I wipe it a hell of a lot more than I ever used to.

SingingInTheRainstorm · 31/01/2017 19:53

I pick my nose, I'll also only use a face wipe instead of cleanse, tone and moisturise. I don't have a beauty regime as such.

Can't believe there's been so much outrage at the PP who burped and blew it at her partner. Me and DH do that to eachother on almost a daily basis. I didn't think we were that gross.

Danglybits · 31/01/2017 19:59

It's made my evening that my personal gross habits are shared by others. (Yummy toenails! No pedicures for me!)

I'm also intrigued by the deleted posts. Were they too gross even for MN??!

However, I'm happy to announce that my bath mats are pristine, I always wash my hands after the loo (see threadworms, erm, thread) and my bras are washed regularly (after I realised they niff of BO). Standards, ladies Wink

Danglybits · 31/01/2017 20:00

DH and I have stopped farting in each other's hearing though. Keeping the magic alive Grin

Sometimes I don't wash my hands after peeing at home.

I work in a hospital and my hands are sore enough as it is with washing them all the time. I don't touch my vulva when I dry if I use enough toilet roll. I wash before preparing food etc.

I would rather a few germs than sore hands as well I'm afraid. There are germs everywhere, my door knobs, my computer, my phone.. everywhere.

Last night I farted on DP's crotch when we were spooning.

Stripyhoglets · 31/01/2017 21:26

Dunno why people are so squeamish about eating snot as it runs down the back of your throat from your nose anyway!

Foof,
Aaaargh...no...make the image in my head stop...

FithColumnist · 31/01/2017 21:47

Seriously, I do not wash my hands after I pee, unless I'm in a public toilet with somebody else there. I don't piss on my hands and, frankly, I have a very clean penis. Why should I?

SpookyPotato · 31/01/2017 22:08

I am never ill so think my bad habits are good for me.. Grin

CaraAspen · 31/01/2017 22:10

OP:
I take it water irritates your hands too? Hmm

WanderingTrolley1 · 31/01/2017 22:20

Pick/blow nose and eat.
Pick and pull skin from inner nostrils with tweezers.
Chew and eat toenails, even the crusty ones.
Fart on hand and smell.
Squeezing blackheads and placing on mirror to keep a check.

BillyDaveysDaughter · 31/01/2017 22:28

NAVEL CHEESE Foof!

I'm loving the irony of an utterly hilarious disgusting thread with some terrible admissions, where posts have still been removed for breaking talk guidelines.

Yup you're all gross and I definitely don't rotate my various ear piercings then sniff my fingers.

Sallystyle · 31/01/2017 22:28

Water does irritate sore hands, yes.

Clearly not the OP.

AmberNectarine · 31/01/2017 22:32

I bite my own toenails.

Frtljcbmc · 01/02/2017 00:25

I have the same condition as you and also advised not to wash hands regularly

SeriousCreativeBlock · 01/02/2017 00:44

I get a similar condition, I have hands that are very sensitive to chemicals and in the winter they crack and go all gross. Contact dermatitis I think? I still wash my hands every time I go to the toilet Confused

Summerlovin24 · 01/02/2017 01:15

Floss teeth and smell the Floss after. Not for pleasure like you bogey nibblers but to see it smells horrible. If it does more flossing required.

YouHadMeAtCake · 01/02/2017 01:42

I'm a terrible farter when I'm alone , burps too! Love spot squeezing!

Nose picking yes BUT I just cannot understand the foulness that is eating what comes out of your nose. Utterly revolting! Not washing your hands, after a wee is grim. You touch the toilet seat and flusher etc.

WanderingTrolley1 · 01/02/2017 03:47

Squishing a tonsil stone between my fingers and smelling the foulness.

WanderingTrolley1 · 01/02/2017 03:49

Delving as deep into ear canal as possible with cotton bud and enjoying the sight, smell and sensation of the wax when I squeeze bud.

ShamonMoFo · 01/02/2017 06:41

I pick scabs... and eat them. And I pee in the shower.
