To want to know the most gross thing you've seen someone do.

[Lasagnabreath]

I'll go first. I've seen my grandad drink out of date and lumpy milk, without a single gag or screwed up face. I was trying not to be sick.

Woman who worked in my office suffered from Fish Odour Syndrome. Anyone else I would have great sympathy with, but she was vile and her personal hygiene was way beyond disgusting. You knew if she was in work that day when you arrived in the foyer, five floors down. The smell lingered for hours and colleagues would literally run out of the room vomiting if they had to sit in the same room as her. She was very, very obese, had a bad urinary incontinence problem and never showered or washed - she told our boss her shower was broken and 'No way could she be bothered' trying to wash in any other way until the council fixed it for her.

Anyway, the most repulsive thing she used to do was to change her incontinence pads whilst sitting at her desk! She'd just whip the old out out, dump in in the open wastepaper bin next to her, and stick another one on - if she had one with her. If not she just used to piss on her chair instead. She got fired for that, unsurprisingly. Our security man had to wheel her chair out and he ended up burning it as the refuse people wouldn't take it. She was so disgusting it sounds like I've made this up, but every word is true. She was imprisoned for theft last year and all I could think was who on earth would have to share a cell with her - poor souls! I can still recall her exact smell now, 15 years later.

Onced queued for about 45 mins for the only loo at my uni extrav night. When I went into the cubicle someone had covered the entire seat, back and floor of the loo with the most shit I've ever seen in one place ever. It was terrible as I was almost pissing myself after drinking a lot and waiting so long, but I just ran back out and had to leave the extrav to find a bush I could piss behind instead.

I'm emetophobic - DS2 once snuggled right up to me, went to kiss me, then puked right into my open mouth. I made my mouth bleed I cleaned my teeth so hard afterwards.

A more recent truly disgusting thing I've seen - DS fell over a dog lead a few weeks ago and landed on his finger. The force ripped his fingernail off completely, along with a lot of skin from his finger. It was all hanging on by a bit of skin and he ended up pulling it off quickly to get it off. I almost fainted at the sight of it and my legs went all weak and wobbly. I struggled to drive him to A&E as my legs wouldn't stop shaking and I kept thinking I was going to be sick. DS on the other hand was very brave and didn't even cry. It's all healing up nicely now but it's unlikely the nail will grow back due to damaging the nail matrix badly.

DS takes delight in chasing DS2 round the house, wiggling his manky finger at him, while DS2 screams in horror.

Thanks for explaining about frontal lobe damage and lack of social norms. Makes a bit more sense now 're disabilities.

Used to have a student job pulling pints in a nightclub and we all took turns to clean the toilets at the end of the night. That experience taught me that the notion that womens toilets are always nicer then the men's is a complete lie. Yes blokes piss on the seat and floor with impunity but cleaning that was a walk in the park compared to cleaning up used sanitary products and turds from the floor. Special mention to the ladies who used their soiled tampons as crayons to write graffiti on the cubicle doors.

The man on the bus who blew his nose into his hand and then wiped the contents on the seat, i told him he was a dirty pig and he was quite affronted.

The small child in a cafe who was sucking every lump of sugar in the bowl and then putting it back. Mother was yakking to her mate and ignoring him.

Many years ago caught my sister wiping up vomit with my face flannel.

We have to visit clients in proper minging houses. One guy used to encourage pigeons into his flat, and there was bird shit on very surface. I thought he had an old 60's pvc armchair, but when he finally cleared the pile of guano-coated crap from it, I realised it was actually some sort of tweedy fabric. The arms and the top of the back were so greasy they looked like plastic.

The worst was when I was busting for a piss while waiting for a colleague to arrive at a client handover. When she finally turned up, I had to use the client's lav. I couldn't believe my eyes at the state of her bathroom. It looked like the IRA had carried out a dirty protest in there - every single one of them. There was shit on the walls, the floor, the bog cistern, the taps - absolutely everywhere. And it stank.

I had one of those "hover" wees, and carefully detached some bog roll so I didn't have to touch the door handle on the way out, and was thankful that I always have a bottle of anti-bac cleanser in my bag.

When I went into the living room, which wasn't especially squalid, I opted to sit on a plastic-covered dining chair, thinking that that was least likely to be filthy. It felt slightly sticky though, my jeans were sort of sticking to the seat.

Then the client started telling me that she was waiting for a bladder repair operation, but couldn't have the surgery until she'd lost 5 stone. Consequently, she was constantly leaking urine. I was sitting in someone else's piss, ffs!

Does this count? I worked in an office with a seemingly normal married woman (early 50s but it doesn't matter re age) who'd had 5 kids. She used to say "her womb was coming out" during a heavy period but the worst was she left the toilet when she had a heavy period with big smears of blood right across the toilet seat. It was never cleaned. Very small Office just me and her as women but a female bookkeeper came in twice a month and female clients used that toilet sometimes. Why I never said anything I don't know. I was bullied by her some of the time I worked there but can't recall if this timescale overlapped.

I'd love to know how people can be so grim " the seemingly normal" ones pps have mentioned.
E.g. most of us (well I know I am) are conscious of bodily functions, periods etc and I ensure I leave no mark on any toilet after I've used it even if I should get wee/blood on seat etc in error I'd clean it up! I'd be absolutely mortified if someone were to see a skidmark etc!

I agree shrunken. I understand those that have mental problems, but the others even with a health problem should know to clean up if they can or not to do these things.

So many people popping publicly on this thread.

Some bloke wanking from behind the portacabins at a school I cleaned decades ago.
And it was my birthday. 🙄🙁

Not something I've seen but something I've heard - someone I know, her friend leant her sister her vibrator. Grim.
I've gagged twice at this thread, why am I still reading it?

Thanks, Lasagnabreath, glad others can see what I'm saying.
Are there any grim people on here who can explain their actions? Or are they really unaware of the "little" things like b.o and tidying up a toilet seat should you accidentally drip and need to wipe the seat etc
I'm assuming full blown public displays of weeing/pooping/masturbating etc are of people with serious issues.
However, if a serial public pooper is actually ON MN I'd love to hear their reasoning behind it!

Would be great to hear it from the other side lol

love I keep asking myself why I'm still reading lol

One of my husband's relatives bites his own toenails, literally stuffs his cheesy foot in his own mouth and spits the toenails out on the floor. Boak!

Mine is disgusting in a slightly different way but was still utterly utterly grim. I was at a house party, lots of drinking going on and some drugs but nothing I hadn't seen before. I remember walking into the kitchen and finding 3 lads inhaling lighter fluid, can't really explain it but I just found it revolting, it was a really visceral reaction. Think it was partly the idea of it (can't possibly be pleasant), partly the sheer stupidity of it (so dangerous), the smell in the room and the effect it had on them, they were very obviously not 'there' and I found it really disturbing to see.

At uni, a friend of mine vomited into her pint glass. The vomit sat on top of the remaining beer, and she discovered if she tipped it slowly the beer slid out from underneath the vomit, allowing her to drink the rest.

A few years ago on the tube, a woman took off her shoes and socks and started picking her toes. Naturally I had to take a pic to accompany my outraged/revolted Facebook post about it.

My son 17 had to check the toilets at the end of his shift and asked me why a women would stick a used sanitary towel to the toilet door....

And it's a cinema by the way so no drinking involved. Grim

I once saw a woman emerging from the pool of a well known London spa with a sodden and stained ST protruding from her cossie.

That's the second worst one. I've deleted the worst as it involves an innocent animal.

And actually sometimes cruelty is the worst thing you see. I saw a shouty, druggy mother screaming at her cowed little girl yesterday, for nothing - just someone to bully and pass on useless behaviour patterns to. I hate seeing children stuck in these situations.

Didnt witness it happening but went into a public toilet to find four people in there wretching. The whole cubicle from floor to ceiling was caked in shit. I ran outside and threw up everywhere but for some bizarre reason the other people seemed to stand in there and comment how disgusting it was

I saw someone shaving dead foot skin with a pumice stone while sitting in a lounge chair, just above the bowl of fruit salad that was on the floor and that everyone else was eating from. The foot dust was settling onto the fruit pieces, they were all still chatting and eating away, so gross.

-definitely not place marking-

got talking to a man on a bus one day and he told me all about his trouble with his teeth and how he needed false teeth (in rather too much detail). Then he actually took them out and showed me. I remember in my shock not knowing what to say and muttering something along the needs of "thats nice"
