Occasionally my scalp can be a bit scabby. I love nothing more than picking them out... And eating them. There's something so satisfying about that crunch between the teeth.

Don't come at me about how disgusting it is. I know. Hence the title 😄

AIBU to ask you to share away your also gross but cannot help habits? Let's rejoice in anonymous grossness!

Not the point of the thread I know, but pee is not sterile

Apparently it is. I splashed urine in my eye emptying a commode at work. Got sent up to the walk in centre who then sent me onto our main hospital for blood tests and whilst I was waiting for someone to come and take a blood sample I could hear another Dr say I wouldn't need to have one because urine is sterile so wouldn't cause any adverse affects. Probably different if it was from someone with hepatitis or something which it wasn't and as soon as it happened I'd already washed my eye out with a load of hot water anyway

It really isn’t.

I love nothing more than using a fine comb to scratch the dandruff out of my hair. If I've not washed it for a few days even better.
And at half term I sunburnt the top of my head, when that started to peel it was AMAZING!

Not a personal one, but in the spirit of the thread I was just on, I feel like ‘sucking off strippers at hen dos’ would fit quite well in this one.

Is this the Spode jug? It does look the perfect ergonomic shape!

Very similar but that looks like the small version and the handle is slightly lower.
Yes ergonomically it’s just the perfect fit🤪

I always thought pee was sterile too…
Just because In the war didn’t they pee on a wound to keep it clean before it could be properly seen to.
Maybe it was a case of , it’s better than nothing.

@Poooo Yes. How else am I going to spot blood or whatever. Colour and texture also detectable. Since s* comes out at body temperature and disappears underwater you're not going to be able to see it and/or discuss it with medics are you.
