To ask in what ways you are trampy

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

They'll get the soles of your shoes all clogged up.

High five - have done every single one op

I only wash my hair every 4-5 days but I'm lucky as it doesn't go greasy.

I never take my make up off before I go to bed (who can be bothered at 11pm?) but will wipe it off with a baby wipe in the morning. However I never leave the house without a bit of make up on.

I use the same mug for the whole week when I'm at work...

And the bed mites will no longer be restricted nutritionally so will grow to the size of cats.

Not sure Impulse is meant for fannies. Doesn’t it burn? Hmm

SabineUndine · 26/11/2017 22:41

I use all the crockery before I bother to wash up sometimes. None of the rest though.

Then you'll have to name the fuckers.

And there'll be so many you'll never remember them all.

@RoseWhiteTips

So what? I mop the floor and hoover.

Are dead skin cells dangerous or something? I've never got food poisoning and get a cold about once a year, and no other health conditions, so can't be that bad.

All these people moaning about bacteria and not using the same towel twice because of dead skin cells touching their actual skin.....this is why we have superbugs/allergies. I do think we have an obsessively clean society.

YoloSwaggins · 26/11/2017 23:16

Honestly, some of the cleaning standards here are ridiculously OTT...on a SAHM thread someone said they cleaned the sink and toilet twice a day!! I thought once a week was standard for that stuff. Who has time?!?

trampymctramperson · 26/11/2017 23:40

I only get a shower if I've done some form of physical activity that's made me sweat (or if I'm getting ready for a night out).

I only wash my hair once or twice a week and certainly don't brush in between, just scrape into a pony.

I pick my nose.

MysweetAudrina · 26/11/2017 23:49

I am somewhere in the middle. I shower and wash my hair every day no matter what, change my bed every second week. Wash up after each meal, wear fresh pyjamas and clothes every night/day. I do what I am comfortable with but I feel much more warmth towards the slovenly threads and posters than I do towards the clean freak ones. I'd rather not care than care too much about these things. I have settled on a level of self care that feels good for me.

AnotherDunroamin · 27/11/2017 00:06

I only wash my hair once a week because that's how often it gets greasy. I brush it about every other day.
I only do the washing up once a day and sometimes even leave it sitting overnight for the next day. And if I'm home alone I'll happily eat out of the saucepan.
I also sometimes line my sanitary pads with TP to make them last longer. And I pee in the shower if I'm running late.
But I do shower every day and wear clean clothes around the house (and usually a little make-up). And the house is generally quite clean, if not always tidy.

MrsBonato · 27/11/2017 00:16

I wash my hair and shower every other day.
I will wear jeans until they have a spill or smell or get that odd greasy feel to them.
If I'm having a bad time with my back my socks will stay on for two days until I shower and then I won't replace the socks until I can move again properly.

That's about it in my scruffy ways. I feel a bit lame about it.

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 27/11/2017 00:50

Happy to say I have done practically every single thing on this thread, and still do. I am happy, healthy and fit as a fiddle. I'm rarely ill. Bit of bacteria never hurt anyone and if more people were like us heathens, maybe there wouldn't be all these different strains of illnesses

user1497403588 · 27/11/2017 01:13

People really dont get it do they, obviously plenty of people have used tissue paper if out and about and have no pads/tampons..

That's completely okay :S what the hell do you think they did hundreds of years ago, infact they wouldve went around all bloody!

I unfortunately do lot's of these messy things, i go through phases, such as not changing my bed sheets for weeks, picking my nose, and other areas, biting my nails that're probably dirty. wearing a filthy dressing gown that i haven't washed in 2 weeks.

oldlaundbooth · 27/11/2017 01:24

Plenty of fun sponges on here.

I do loads of trampy things, odd socks, drinking out of the same cup all day, turning a chopping board over to use....

oldlaundbooth · 27/11/2017 01:25

I change the sheets roughly every other month - maybe a bit more in summer.

My mum brought up two children in the Middle East (when Dubai was just a small boring port and Kuwait still had city walls, a curfew and fresh water brought in by camel). She said that the US oil families fussed about disinfecting everything and their children were always ill, whereas the European children had common sense rules about washing food and hands, and had local bug immunity. I used to love going down the suq and buying treats of snacks and sweets. Got to eat a peck of dirt before you die, according to Grandma and Mum Grin.

MrsFoxPlus4 · 27/11/2017 02:42

I haven’t washed my hair in 3 weeks.

CoalTit · 27/11/2017 06:21

...posters proud of their daintiness energetically compete to be the most repulsed and type things such as "Boak" and "Eeewwww" and of course "Grim".
Maybe you're being a bit of a stirrer, but I admire you

Seriously? You admire someone who posts anonymously they are slovenly and think anyone who tells them it’s dirty is dainty

"dainty" isn't a derogatory name. It's the excessive pride in it and the competitive aspect of it that I see on aibu that seems so over the top to me. And of course the juvenile "eewww"s and "boak"s and the sour accusations of "grim" designed to denigrate people who don't devote as much time to washing and cleaning as the disapproving poster.
So I'm really enjoying the sardonic responses to the poster fretting about floors heaving with out-of-control skin cells.
I haven't the courage to confess to my unhygienic habits, but I'm grateful to the OP for starting this thread.

CoalTit · 27/11/2017 06:24

Oh, and thanks to previous posters for explaining "whore's bath" when I neglected to do so. I might say "pits and bits" instead in future. More modern.
