To think it's disgusting to stick your tongue out in photos

I probably am being unreasonable.

But I think it's revolting when you see photos of people with their tongues sticking out.

Why do people do this?

Disgusting? It’s hardly like taking a dump.

DappledThings · 21/07/2020 09:37

It's a bit silly. Disgusting is quite an over reaction.

Soubriquet · 21/07/2020 09:37

Urm....yabu.

It’s a tongue not a penis

WorraLiberty · 21/07/2020 09:38

It's childish but 'disgusting' is a bit OTT.

Toilenstripes · 21/07/2020 09:38

Definitely disgusting. I don’t want to see anyone’s tongue, coated with saliva. It’s grim, OP.

Bloody Miley Cirus looked like she was getting a tonsil examination in every bloody picture. Why? But I’m not to bothered in general.

Trika · 21/07/2020 09:40

Disgusting? it's just a tongue. Confused

ivfdreaming · 21/07/2020 09:41

No more annoying than the bloody peace signs you see people do? Photo albums with 100s of photos of the same ruddy pose

Waxonwaxoff0 · 21/07/2020 09:42

Looks a bit silly, but disgusting is a bit strong.

SockYarn · 21/07/2020 09:42

Childish, immature and silly - yes.

Disgusting - no.

Zaphodsotherhead · 21/07/2020 09:43

It's a bit annoying, if you're trying to take a nice picture of a group and someone has to be 'wacky' and poke their tongue out, thereby ruining every picture.

But sometimes people do it purposefully to spoil a picture that they didn't want taken. Some people hate having their picture taken and stick their tongue out as a protest.

It's not disgusting. Vomiting in every picture would be disgusting. I think pp had it with 'it's a tongue, not a penis'.

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 21/07/2020 09:44

Id prefer that to seeing someone's arsehole tbh

Thepilotlightsgoneout · 21/07/2020 09:44

I sometimes do it because I have terrible wonky teeth and look awful smiling in photos.

thepeopleversuswork · 21/07/2020 09:46

How do people find time to get upset about stuff like this?

PenCreed · 21/07/2020 09:47

I hate it but as others have said - it could be a lot worse!

SchrodingersImmigrant · 21/07/2020 09:47

Tongue flashing. How dare theyGrin

NotEverythingIsBlackandWhite · 21/07/2020 09:48

I find sticking the tongue out 'a la Miley Cyrus' looks disgusting. Childish is when you just poke it out for pictures in fun and not really offensive but the way Miley and all her sheeple do it is truly disgusting.

wildcherries · 21/07/2020 09:52

Revolting and disgusting. Very strong words to describe this 'issue'.

TheVanguardSix · 21/07/2020 09:58

Yeah, when it's all 'Gene Simmons/Miley Cyrus' it IS gross. It's like, put that bed of bacteria back in your mouth!

Pinkyandthebrainz · 21/07/2020 09:58

You sound like a hoot.

user8558 · 21/07/2020 10:00

It makes my stomach turn. As the pp said, I don't want to see their saliva coated tongue I think it's just gross.

Yes, it's not an anus or a penis, obviously. But it's probably next to these things if you had to list parts of the human body you don't want to look at.

Urm....yabu.

Hahaha this made me properly laugh out loud
SemperIdem · 21/07/2020 10:03

You’re being a bit odd

PickleKing · 21/07/2020 10:04

Strange attitude

Poppins2016 · 21/07/2020 10:05

I agree with you, OP, but I must admit that I have a strong aversion to tongues (...incl. when kissing)!
