When no one is around to see me, and when the food was really yummy, I lick the plate clean. Regularly.

I am a 47 year old educated and professional woman. I don't think people would ever expect this of me. I caught sight of my reflection when doing this earlier and I looked like a hungry stray dog Blush

What do you do that people don't know about?

I have never been able to blow my nose. It's just one of those things!

Weirdomagnet · 05/02/2020 21:00

Hahaha- I think I might have been your reflection!

MissConductUS · 05/02/2020 21:02

I'm a Yank. Shh! Don't tell anyone. Grin

Sparklfairy · 05/02/2020 21:05

There's so many post that are gonna gross me out so I will just leave you here with a salute and bow out gracefully Grin

I’m a teacher. Sometimes I need to fart in class. When the stink becomes obvious and the kids blame each other, I totally keep silent. Self preservation, innit bruv?

CornflakesforBambi · 05/02/2020 21:22

I can’t burp on demand. Blush

Forgivenandsetfree · 05/02/2020 21:33

If LO doesn't finish her food, I will! Also any food gets dropped in the house, I'll still eat it... I know how clean the floors are!

Smidge001 · 05/02/2020 21:35

Why is it shameful that you can't burp on demand??

Thelnebriati · 05/02/2020 21:36

When the DC's were little if I did a terrible fart in public I'd blame them.

RoyEastmannKodak · 05/02/2020 21:41

@Silenceisnotgolden that's brilliant and a definite plus re working with children or animals I'd say.

@CornflakesforBambi I can't burp at all really. If I really need to I can summon something inadequate that makes me sound like a camel. Not really ashamed of my belching inadequacies tho l. It is what it is..

Because inevitably all that gas has to go somewhere. BlushGrin

I'm a 28 year old obese woman.
I can still bite my toenails if I can't find the clippers Blush
My DD bites hers too.
We are grim I know.

Yabadee · 05/02/2020 21:44

I’m sitting eating all 4yo DDs popcorn while watching Netflix and wearing my wedding shoes that came in yesterday.

Not shameful really, I just love my wedding shoes

CornflakesforBambi · 05/02/2020 21:49

If I really need to I can summon something inadequate that makes me sound like a camel.

I get this too, but it sounds more akin to what I imagine a constipated pterodactyl would sound like.

SouthernFreeez · 05/02/2020 22:17

Sometimes i can't be arsed walking upstairs for a wee so i pee in a glass lol

Thelnebriati · 05/02/2020 22:23

Call it the piss bucket and say you use it on the compost heap and suddenly you are saving the planet

Shockers · 05/02/2020 22:25

I once burped so loudly, I upset the dog.

trashcanjunkie · 05/02/2020 22:31

I work in a huge open plan office. I once ate a cream cake from the work fridge innocently thinking it had been left from a buffet. Turns out it wasn’t Grin and queue weeks of round robin emails speculating about the mystery and what they would steal next. I will never confess!

trashcanjunkie · 05/02/2020 22:31

Mystery thief!

MargotLargot · 05/02/2020 22:35

When I’m home alone and make a really disgusting burp (imagine Barney from The Simpsons) and the patio doors or windows are open, I loudly exclaim “that’s disgusting, you’re a pig” in case any of the neighbours are in their gardens and hear me. I figure they think I’m chastising my husband (who would never make a disgusting burp).

Apirateslifeforme · 05/02/2020 22:39

The dog didn't eat the magic stars yesterday.
It was an emotional day, I even had the nerve to say, fuck. Do you think the dog needs to go to the vets after all that chocolate.
DH thought I was mother Theresa for then watching the dog to make sure he was ok. Obviously he was. He wasnt the greedy fuck who inhaled a massive bag of chocolate stars.

SandAndSea · 05/02/2020 22:40

I loudly exclaim “that’s disgusting, you’re a pig”

This really made me laugh. Grin

yolofish · 05/02/2020 22:44

I do love an outdoors wee in the garden... luckily we are not overlooked.

QuestionableMouse · 05/02/2020 22:46

I had the flu a few years ago and had a bucket in the bedroom to pee into. I couldn't make it down the stairs without wanting to faint.

I sometimes scratch my bum 🤭🤭🤭
