Page 8 | 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!

ThatAussieBogan · 01/02/2017 06:54

All you gross people simply need to come and live in Aus, you'll feel right at home.

Our housemistress at boarding school was forever calling meetings about our more vile habits and always had a basket full of stray, often gross undies left in the laundry where she'd hold them up (wearing gloves lol) to find the owner.

Best thing ever was the time she held up a particularly gross pair of blood stained knickers, lectured us about hygiene and got really pissed off at the fact we were in hysterics.
Took her a while it realise it was because her yappy terrier dog was directly behind her pulling himself across the carpet to itch his bum as he had worms
Oh hell, years later that still makes me laugh!

Word of warning, if you ever find yourself in bed with an Aussie then them yelling "Dutch oven!!" doesn't mean something you smoke.
Like many I'm easygoing so have often shared my bed not just with ex's but also platonic friends of both sexes and all do it, as do I.

It of course means farting under the doona and holding it over their head
DS 3 does it to DH lol.

Popping pimples is my fave and it's so bloody frustrating as DD's 17 and 13 will NOT let me do it!
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the youtube saviour for frustrated zit squeezers, Dr Pimple Popper. If you haven't seen her then you're welcome

SabineUndine · 01/02/2017 07:03

I was going to admit to not always cleaning my teeth before bed but it seems a bit tame now.

SaucyDough · 01/02/2017 07:05

Why am I reading this whilst eating?!

ThatAussieBogan · 01/02/2017 07:06

Oops, that was rather long, sorry!

I forgot to say for those getting their knickers in a knot over the peeing in the shower thing then us proud shower pee'ers (is there a word for us? There must be, it's a thing lol) can claim scientific evidence that it's good for you.

Years ago a world renowned scientist said peeing in the shower stops athletes foot. I took on her wise words and have never had it since. True story and nothing to do with it coinciding finishing boarding school

Look it up, the truth is out there. Madonna said so

questioningitall · 01/02/2017 08:14

This is vile. I am no clean freak by any standards but. It washing your hands after you've been to the loo? Washing bras once a month? That is totally boak.

Chamonix1 · 01/02/2017 08:55

Scalp picking

and flicking

Stitchfusion · 01/02/2017 08:58

The first few posts on this thread exemplify why I wont shake hands.
Ewww ewww ewwww
If I wanted to touch someones penis, or lady parts, I would do that. Why are you making me touch them by not washing your hands and then shaking mine?

3perfectweemen · 01/02/2017 09:36

Shocked at how many people dont wash hands after using loo (boke)
I pick my toenails

MusicToMyEars800 · 01/02/2017 09:37

I wee and fart in the bath, don't even care ( don't wee if my hair is in the bath water though ) I always rinse myself down before getting out anyway, and if I fart I have to have a whiff, it smells like cabbage

Silentplikebath · 01/02/2017 09:50

All those pp saying they can't wash their hands because of sore skin - you can wash with aqueous ceam. Alternatively always carry a small tube of moisturiser in your pocket or bag to use after washing your hands. Most hand creams and moisturisers come in travel sizes.

My gross habit is not washing bedsheets very often although my pyjamas are washed every other day.

But even though you don't touch the wee (which isn't really a problem since you can safely drink it if you were so inclined) you presumably do touch the flush handle, which others touch after wiping poo and sometimes the paper rips etc so you're picking up all these germs and spreading them around your house

Albadross · 01/02/2017 09:59

Every time I see DH eating bogies I love him a little bit less

Mrs9C · 01/02/2017 11:37

Can't believe how disgusting this thread it....despite being guilty of some of them

No the tissue never rips - if it did I would then wash my hands. Go to the loo, get an extra tissue, flush with tissue and throw into loo as its flushing.

To the OP asking whether water makes hands sore - yes, yes it does. Wetting and drying can be absolute agony which is why I prefer to limit hand washing when I am in the home - this pretty much means that I can get away with washing hands when I use public loos/loos at other people's houses.

ThatAussieBogan Re: Dr Pimple Popper - I prefer Josefa M. Reina myself. She's more "hands on".

AGinForEachMakesThree · 01/02/2017 14:40

I sometimes forget to flush after doing a wee
And I often get rid of excess powder from my make up brushes onto my dressing gown (I do however wash my brushes regularly!)
I will rinse rather than wash my mug out occasionally.
I stick my grey hairs to the mirror to have a gawp at then before binning them.

BorrowedHeart · 01/02/2017 15:46

Those who don't wash their bra more than once a month, do you have small breasts? I was mine at least once a week depending if I wear one everyday or not, I couldn't wash them any less due to the sweat.

CaoNiMa · 01/02/2017 17:40

There is rare beauty in a well-executed bath fart.

cowshindtail · 01/02/2017 18:11

As a colleague's 2 year old said when being ticked off for picking her nose "it isn't disgusting-it's delicious".

Ladyrainbowsparkles · 01/02/2017 18:15

I'm a picker..nose, spots, blackheads, dry skin. And not just my own. I pick my daughters nose (she's 3) and my niece still has a lot of cradle cap at 2 and I always have an uncontrollable urge to pick at it..

libbyb · 01/02/2017 18:20

I'm sorry but I am quite appalled with what I have read on here today!! However, my guilty secret is that I dry my hair sitting on the bed in the morning, but when I get into bed at night I have to do a complete sweep of the duvet to find all of the stray hairs that have 'left home'! Consequently, by hoovering day there is a veritable carpet of hair that I have picked off the duvet and dropped on the floor!!
Eating snot and not washing hands has never occurred to me ???

MrsMeeseeks · 01/02/2017 18:50

Every time I see DH eating bogies I love him a little bit less

HOW is it possible to desire someone sexually when you have seen them eat bogies?

SherbrookeFosterer · 01/02/2017 19:01

I sniff my husband's pants and wear his sweaty gym socks in bed when he is away on business.

UpsyDaisyluvsIgglePiggle · 01/02/2017 19:33

Pick nose
Dd is disgusting but she's 18 month so ill let her off. She was found (thankfully!) sucking dh's cheesy earring. He had taken it out as it was smelling badly so he could let his ear have some fresh air. Ewwwwww as she seemed to be really enjoying it
We fart all the time at each other. I blame it on my bowel condition. Dh farts in car and wafts it at me claiming he doesn't want to smell it.
I scratch my bump hole too...and smell my fingers...
I also bit and eat my toenails
I do wash my hands after toilet though
