To ask in what ways you are trampy

[munkynutts]

I posted a AIBU about not using pads and it got me thinking about other stuff people do behind closed doors that make them kinda trampy. Is it just me? Am I just a disgusting hobo freak hybrid?
Stuff I do:

• TP instead of pads at home
• Sometimes eat out the saucepan - I mean, why not?
• If not particularly cold I'll just wear my boots without socks
• Re-use same mug throughout day for all drinks
• Sleep in makeup if too lazy
• Wear clearly dirty clothes around house
• Have been known to use mugs for cereal and soup because too lazy to wash up bowls
• Do a bun because hair full of knots and cant be fucked to brush it just to go down to shop

My sister is the sort to apply full contouring make-up just to go for a Sunday walk.

Clearly something got seriously fucked up in our childhood

Evie - I would do the same if my socks didn't smell, but they do and when I wear two pairs even the top layer needs to be changed every day.
I wear the same top for two days in the winter as they don't usually smell bad after one day.

Bravo vietvet.

I Do loads of stuff that I'm sure people think is gross.

Can some of you really NOT IMAGINE going out with unbrushed hair?! . These are probably the same people who post vehemently on how anti feminist it is to be expected to shave one's armpits.

I'll horrify you all some more..... When I let food fall to the floor I...... PICK IT UP AND EAT IT ANYWAY!!

@Lovestonap
Me too, I've also continued eating a piece of toast just after seeing the cat licking some butter off it.

I’ve had sex with 2000 different men.

Laughing at some of the hysteria here.

I have ME so for the last several years I've learned to minmise unnecessary expenditure of energy, which includes living in pyjamas unless there I'm going out, never wearing make up unless I'm going to something social or work (would never put make up on to go to the shop), reusing cups etc (after a rinse), not drying or styling my hair unless absolutely necessary, not immediately changing my clothes if I spill something. Funnily enough I have not yet died from any of this.

Word of warning about the TP though... last week I posted about getting terrible chafing / skin damage from pads. One day I decided that folding up a load of loo paper and putting it on top of the pad might stop the abrasive top layer sanding off my skin. It worked quite well.... until I got up to make a cup of coffee and it fell out of my pants and out of my trouser leg. Thank fuck no one was there to see that.

@TammySwansonTwo
Bwahahahahahahahahaha re trouser leg! Although you could have explained it away as toilet paper used to soak up a razor cut (she said, experiencedly)

I’ve continued drinking my glass of milk after fighting the cats paw out of it!

I think thr toilet paper thing is the thought of walking around with a wedge of loo roll in your knickers. Loo roll won’t absorb the flow like pads would so would be rather smelly and I guess a little, ehrm, moist. In addition it will break down so you’d have bits of loo roll in yer knickers and stuck to you. It just seems really not something you’d chose as your preferred option.

I think if it was a great idea everyone would be walking around with their knickers stuffed with loo roll during their periods.

Our washing machine is on its way out so I've worn the same house clothes yesterday and today. I usually wear jumpers, jeans etc more than once before washing but never two consecutive days. It's been okay but it's not my preference.

Using the same tea mug all day rinsed out is just common sense.
Definitely used a large mug instead of a bowl for cereal and soup.

I don't always wear socks with my snow boots because they are fur lined and feel lovely on bare feet

The rest is pretty horrible though.

I can't stand being dirty. I shower every other day (and wash hair in the shower) and sink wash on the in between days.

I brush my hair when I wash it (so every other day) but keep it tied up. It's very long so could easily end up in a right rats nest but that's just not pleasant.

Clean clothes every day except for maybe a cardigan or jumper that has been worn over a t shirt or shirt.

The same cup for multiples of the same drink is fine but I'd switch cups between tea/coffee/etc.

The tp instead of a pad is grim. Just get some little slim pantyliners if the
flow is that light

I don't always wear a wired bra, I'm quite attached to my sports bra because they are so comfortable I can forget I'm wearing it. I can't go braless though or I get really sore nipples.

Really though op. Be as tatty as you like but keep yourself and your clothes clean.

You say you have self respect but think about it this way: would I let my kids have rat tails in their hair, go to sleep in face paint (akin to makeup) or wear visibly dirty clothes?

The answer is probably no.

If it's not a good enough standard for them, why is ok for you?

Other than the not washing up thing, i do all of those things. I also wear pjs all day if im not going out.

Although i only dont take my makeup off if im v drunk as my eczema goes crazy x

If it's not a good enough standard for them, why is ok for you?

Because it doesn't bother me (yes I know I am not OP but I would/do do all those things) and I am an adult and those things literally do no harm.

Ask yourself this why do you care?

Utter madness.

Sleeping with make up on...😱😱😱

I don't wash my clothes for ages - I don't sweat/smell so I don't really see the point. They never smell and I don't want to waste water. I wash them when they get stained.

I wear the same PJs for a few weeks and bedsheets for up to 2 months.

I only wash my whole body when washing my hair (twice a week), otherwise just downstairs + armpits.

Drink out of same mug all day. Eat toast from same plate.

However I am pretty religious with taking makeup off/washing my face, I hate having a greasy face. And I keep the house pretty clean. Just don't see the point of wasting washing powder and scrubbing my body all the time when nothing smells, and I have really dry skin.

It's rarer I take make up off at night

(although, warning, I do look like I've had quite a hard life, and I haven't really :))

I also genuinely don't get why toilet paper is gross? Inconvenient and a bit uncomfortable maybe, but gross?

And smell?! If you use tp I'm guessing you use a fresh bit every time you have a wee - so more often than changing a pad.

It's responses on threads like these that make me realise mumsnet really isn't 'my kind of people'

Please guys, reserve your horror and revulsion for genocide etc, please don't squander it on a slightly unwashed but perfectly healthy and happy human body.

Ive quiet often use toilet paper but with a tampon in as i leak quiet a bit and it gets on knickers / clothes ect. I get in the bath after people its my husband now but used to be parents at home. Only change bedding once every 2 weeks unless stained ect and we share towels. I always use same cup but Only drink water. Everyone is different and will have standards ideas ect

Yolo
That's disgusting.

I think people running washing machines every day and ruining the rivers with washing powder is disgusting but hey ho. I don't smell and if you meet me I promise you'd never guess I've worn the same top 20 times.

If you stink, fair enough (my friend borrowed my top once and the armpits STANK) but my clothes smell literally the same out of the washing machine as they do after wearing. I don't care about smelling like lotus flower and jasmine.

Unless I'd accidentally severed an artery shaving, no one is going to buy that excuse.

Thinking back it may have been kitchen towel rather than TP - much more absorbent. I was desperate!

OP you are my soulmate.. I do all of those things.

In fact I'm about to stick a big clip in my hair, put a big coat on to nip to the corner shop

fuck off back onto your arsehole-bleaching threads then if its all so grimy and trollish down here for you
Munty

I’ve had sex with 2000 different men
How on earth do you have time to post on MN with that amount of cockage?!

I regularly sleep in full make up then when I wake up just apply more over the top.

Doesn't your pillow look like the Turin Shroud?

@PoorYorick
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHABA

"(although, warning, I do look like I've had quite a hard life, and I haven't really)"

I love this. I have a friend who when i first met her, in response to me saying she looked incredibly young, replied: "this is the face of someone who has accomplished nothing".
