Why did I open this thread?

Vile, vile, vile!!!!

womenspeakout · 11/09/2019 10:43

I pick out my dog’s eye bogeys and feed them to him. He loves them but dh thinks this is disgusting

Oh my god, I do this too! The dog asks for them and then he does that satisfied thing with his lips.

weekellye · 11/09/2019 10:45

I pick my nose. I don't see it as disgusting so long as you're not doing it in public - sometimes a tissue doesn't quite get the job done!

womenspeakout · 11/09/2019 10:45

Oh, and I also don't wash my hands after every pee.

I don't feel any need to, I use so much thick loo roll, there can't be a trace of urine on my hands. And isn't urine sterile any way?

weekellye · 11/09/2019 10:51

Ohhh I do the doggy eye-goop thing too. It's pretty rank but they seem to love it.

I pee in the shower. But then again, it's going to get rinsed away and I'm about to wash myself

barearsedloverofthigh · 11/09/2019 10:52

My towels are rank.

tillytrotter1 · 11/09/2019 10:55

Oh no no no no no. Not washing hands after using the loo is just vile.
I'm a nose picker tho

I assume you wash your hands after your bout of nasal excavation then because that's just as vile.

tillytrotter1 · 11/09/2019 10:58

Peeing in Tupperware in your bedroom when someone is in the loo?

My OH found a Nescafe jar, other coffees are available, useful when we were students in Hall.

MouseInATelescope · 11/09/2019 11:02

I watch HD videos of spot squeezing, it is sooooo satisfying. I don't squeeze my own, my skin is scarred from doing that!

@Ivsel I've done that too! I cannot use TP on it's own for a #2 I just don't understand how people get themselves clean with it. No one would think to use it for a babies or toddlers #2! I usually wind loads of it around my hand and put it under the tap. Will never make the mistake of using toilet wipes again either. The plumbing was like no thanks, have that back.... Blush

SleepyHiraeth · 11/09/2019 11:02

I remember someone tweeting that they didn't wash the bottoms of their feet when they were in the shower since they were sitting in the bubbly water anywah, my 1st thought was wtf would they do with their bum in a bath?

OctoberLovers · 11/09/2019 11:04

Not washing hands is vile.

If you get ill or not. This is just nasty

sodrained · 11/09/2019 11:09

Mines awful I had a poo at my then bfs house and it wouldn't go down the toilet I didn't know what to do I kept flushing and it just got worse, there was nothing to poke it down with and in desperation I put on the cleaning gloves and fished it out the toilet.
His sister had been doing highlights or something in her hair and left lots of biggish sheets of used tin foil on the side for the bin, so I wrapped the poo inside the tin foil sheet things and threw it out there bathroom window. No one has ever said anything so I don't think it was found. I don't know why I didn't just ask him to help me flush it.

FlightOfTheCat · 11/09/2019 11:11

It’s all very well not getting ill if you don’t wash your hands after using the bathroom. Never mind spreading those germs to other people though.

My child was immunocompromised after chemotherapy and really didn’t need to be picking up anyone else’s toilet germs.

MouseInATelescope · 11/09/2019 11:12

@sodrained OMG imagine if someone had been walking past Shock

sodrained · 11/09/2019 11:14

@MouseInATelescope I know but I didn't think I just panicked I honestly feel like going to see if it's still there now Blush

MouseInATelescope · 11/09/2019 11:14

Yeah I don't get the not hand washing after the loo. I HAVE to do it or I literally feel like they are covered in invisible waste. Same as when I touch the bin lid, or wheelie bin etc... I wash my hands and I use alcohol gel. I thought everyone was the same, like an instinct thing....

I get in a right flap if there isn't any hand soap left in the dispensers in public loos, I have to have the water really hot to make up for it.

Knowivedonewrong · 11/09/2019 11:17

🤢 Fuck me! You bunch of dirty bastards! 🤣

sodrained · 11/09/2019 11:26

I feel like I need to name change now Grin

You can't control the world, there'll be more germs everywhere.

And there is the argument that in excessively washing our hands, we are actually making 'normal' immune systems underdeveloped and leading to bigger issues and things like over use of hand sanitiser is also causing problems.

I'm sure when your child was immunocompromised they would have been in strict conditions whereby everyone in contact had to sterilise their hands before coming near or in contact.

WhoKnewBeefStew · 11/09/2019 11:45

I'm a picker, nose , scabs, spots, skin anythjng really

I also fart A LOT!

DrMumMum · 11/09/2019 11:51

I honestly have been wanting to confess this for ages - when I cut my 3 year old's toenails they go straight in my mouth.Blush

DementorsKiss · 11/09/2019 11:53

DrMumMum - why? that has to be the most disgusting thing i've heard!

But there are lots of immunosuppressed people walking around, post transplant for example, who can’t live their lives in a sterile bubble. Not handwashing puts them at risk, not just of prolonged illness, but also of death.

NHS website advice
Why is it so important to wash hands properly?

Washing your hands properly removes dirt, viruses and bacteria to stop them spreading to other people and objects, which can spread illnesses such as food poisoning, flu or diarrhoea.

"Hands are easily contaminated with faecal bacteria [poo] when going to the toilet and this can be easily spread on to other things you touch, including food," says Professor Jeremy Hawker, a consultant epidemiologist at Public Health England.

"Unfortunately, not all people consistently wash their hands after going to the toilet or before handling food.

"Washing your hands with soap and water is sufficient to remove dirt, viruses or bacteria and it can reduce the risk of diarrhoea by nearly 50%."

No, but most are not walking around post transplant because of the germs and the risk.

Anyway, I do wash my hands regularly, I do after going to the toilet, not a wee every time. I urinate a lot as I drink a lot of water, I would have very bad eczema should I do so after every wee, and as I said, nothing goes on your hands when you use enough paper.

And as I also said, over washing is harming our immune systems too.

People always use this as an excuse to be disgusting on these threads. Yes, spraying everything with antibac isn't good for developing immune systems. But equally faecal matter is harmful and you really should wash after using the toilet, as a bare minimum. If a surgeon was operating on you without washing his hands, would you say, "Oh it's fine, it'll boost my immune system?!"
