Disgusting Confessions

[MochynBudr]

AIBU to dare you to confess your disgusting habits? Just a bit of light hearted fun

I ate skin that peeled off my back when I got badly sunburnt last summer. It wasn't like usual peeling skin it was a very dark colour, crispy and tasted a bit smoky
(I do wash my hands obsessively though).

I have a scab in my nose that's been there for years because I can't stop removing it. If I leave it even a day, it's so big I can't breathe properly, so I take it out every morning and REJOICE in its immensity.
The doctor says there is nothing wrong with it and I just have to stop removing it. But I CAN'T.

I weed in a pint glass in my (then) boyfriend's house

I wouldn’t dare, but only because I’m pretty sure my pees are more than a pint!

I just use whichever toothbrush I fancy, regardless of whether someone else considers it ‘theirs’.

Tbh I actually hate peeing in toilets and wish I could just go out and do it in the garden like the dog. Such a waste of water.

Nope! Nope! Nope!

Not reading past the first four posters. 🤢 You have all destroyed my lovely image of Mumsnetters. wanders off weeping

I peel and chew the skin around my fingers too. I found out years ago it's actually a recognised disorder. I think it has 2 subtypes, one of which is skin picking called dermatillomania. The other, which I have, is called Dermatophagia. I chew mine until they bleed, have done since I was about 9 or 10? Around year 5 of primary I think.

Mine is definitely stress/anxiety related. I've started carrying gloves with me everywhere so if I notice myself starting to pick I can just put my gloves on. My fingers still search for something to pick at but the skin is safe then

I'm not too bothered by any of these, apart from USING SOMEONE ELSE'S TOOTHBRUSH.

That's disgusting for the unknowing toothbrush owner.

I give it a good rinse afterwards, macem

I’m pretty sure my pees are more than a pint!

It was close enough to cause a moment of panic that'd for sure!

I like squeezing other people's spots and blackheads.

You've got to wash your hands after going to the toilet though. I'm genuinely surprised that there are adults who choose not to. It's the most basic of hygiene practices, so why wouldn't you? Hands need washing several times a day, so even if it's just for the sake of convenience, you might as well do it while there's a sink right there and you've just touched a toilet, had your hand in close proximity to faecal bacteria, are about to touch a door handle and various other surfaces that other people need to use...

The thing is that the bathroom didn't even become available straight after I weed in the glass so I had to stand guard and make sure nobody, not even the boyfriend, came in until I'd dealt with it, although I could have passed it off as juice I suppose looking back

I love squeezing out the built up pus stuff from my old belly button piercing.
And then smelling it.

I wee in the shower
I chew the skin around my fingers sometimes until it bleeds (more of an anxiety habit than anything else I think)
I am a picker of all things scabby or spotty
I have tonsil stones and have to admit I rather enjoy squeezing them out.
I am obviously quite a minger 😂

Hi fellow weirdos!
I pick the skin from my feet I'm also obsessed with squeezing spots/blackheads.

Throwing my hair from my hairbrush out the bedroom window
Doesnt everyone do this so birds can use it in nests ?

I wouldn't throw the hair out. I think it might actually wrap round their feet and cause more harm than good. Cat fluff is excellent for next building, that's what I throw out :)

as to my disgusting confessions, I'll pass on this one.

Picking scabs. I have reddish type marks over my skin from where the sore hasn't healed as I never let the scab stay on.

Have peed in cups/containers in my room - usually when I had had a lot to drink, and I have a small bladder so I'd be going every 20 mins to half an hour if I had to go to the toilet every time.

Oh and I bit the inside of my cheeks until it becomes a sore lump.

Have said Nope to every post on this thread until I got to Jozen's. Yep, love seeing a ribbon of white gunk coming out of my belly button piercing. I have also got an laparoscopy scar in my belly button which has creases and has build up too, I give that a squeeze too.

I too dislike loos. I have a bucket in the garden.
I always wash my hands after a wee though.

*bite

Me too smokey it’s also a stress thing. The same! The more anxious I am the more my hands are in bits

amazed at the number of nose pickers

weeing outside or into something is one of those things I would love to master but have never quite managed - would make long country walks so so much easier

I pick my nose, but often it's because what's in there is too thick to be blown out without the risk of a bleed. I don't do it in public, but DP knows fine I do it at home. Then again, he cuts his toenails in the lounge and sometimes leaves the clippings, and has a used toothpick beside his chair, so he can't complain too much.

I also pick the wax out of my ear. Earbuds don't work well enough.

I always wash my hands after the loo, and another million times in the day. I'm not OCD, but if I'm cooking I will regularly wash them. I also wash them if I feed the cat and then feed the guineas - I wouldn't want to contaminate their food with meat.

I pull out my hair and run it through my teeth. It is heaven when I get a really coarse one.

Also pick and flick

Sometimes peel my toenails instead of cutting them.

Wash my hands after loo about 50% percent of the time

I also throw my hair out of the bedroom window, for the birds of course.

Share a toothbrush with DP (vile)
Rarely wash hands but will use gel most times.
When going through anxious times with rip skin off the side of my thumb until it bleeds and is raw currently it’s really hurting.
Will inspect discharge from VJ and when on period the pad.
Pick my nose a lot.
Lick my finger and wet my nostrils as they get dry.
Will hold my number two in till very last minute as find it quite pleasurable.
I fart ALOT.
When flossing teeth afterwards I will smell the flosser.
I inspect my number 2.
I will take sleep from my eye and wipe it on the mirror 😂🤢

And all of the above if you met me you would think I was a very prim and proper civilised human being. I. Am. Vile. And proud actually.
