I blow my nose on the washing before it goes in the machine... rather than find a tissue!

My boyfriend loves his own earwax too.
I often catch him having a little probe with a finger then a sniff.
One time a cotton bud snapped and got stuck in his ear. Yes I know it is bad to stick them in your ear!
Anyway, he asked me to help get it out and then asked if he could have the bud so he could give it a good old sniff.

I'm so glad it's not just me 🤣. I've never had an ear infection either, although I have blocked my ears occasionally because I assume I'm not letting them flow naturally. I'd love a broken off cotton bud coated in my own earwax to sniff on.

Believe me, I am glad to know someone else does this too.
He left it for about 2 days before telling me about it. Probably for maximum wax and smell.

Every well trained dog licks their owner's feet 🤣

I used to have a fluffy cat and I did use her to dust the TV too 😂
This was before microfibre cloths were a huge thing.

Bite my nails. Including toenails.

I am envious of your flexibility and sharp teeth!

Perx · 25/03/2025 23:30

I like to keep the nails on my little fingers longer than the rest, then get them right down my ears to scoop out ear wax. Then I scoop my hoard out of one nail with the other nail so I can see how large / dark / sticky it is. I do it on my drive home from work. Never on the way in. I should keep my eyes on the road. Off to bed now, going on all fours up the stairs.

Not disgusting but weird

I sometimes climb the stairs on all 4s when dd isn't home 🤭

Two legs bad. Four legs good.

sammyjoanne · 25/03/2025 23:38

I used to smoke but gave that up in 2014. Im at that 'age' and my skin gets very dry now. And I rub the dry skin off my arms and elbows when I should really moisturise.

Does your earwax smell? Mine doesn't.

I have never actually sniffed it. Tasted it yes. Very tangy. Not to my taste.

ZebedeeDougalFlorence · 25/03/2025 23:40

On a train once out of the corner of my eye I spied a man using some kind of contraption to have a good root about up his nostrils. I couldn't see what the contraption was as I didn't dare look too closely. The woman sat opposite him looked as though she was going to faint with disgust, but she still kept sneaking glances at him, though.

MrsSkylerWhite · 25/03/2025 23:41

Sometimes wee in the bath as I’m letting the plug out. Especially when I’ve had a long walk the day before and my bum’s a bit sore. Stings like hell when wee gets on it 😁

ZebedeeDougalFlorence · 25/03/2025 23:42

I think I'm going to be sick.

ZebedeeDougalFlorence · 25/03/2025 23:49

Blondebrownorred · 25/03/2025 18:17

Why though? God this thread makes me feel sick.

I remember Sinead O'Connor once did this during a TV interview. The interviewer said "Did you just eat the dry skin off your feet?" And she said "yeah." I think she gave a reason, but I can't remember what it was

Men baffle me.

If it is reasonable for me not to want to touch your bare willy, it is also reasonable for me not to want to touch your hand after it had just been around said willy.

Yes, you may not have urinated on it, but you still have willy hands.

I have a willy glove, to avoid getting willy hands on the tube, when I have to hang onto the handrail if there are no seats available during rush hour.
Doesn’t matter if it’s December or August, as soon as I get onto the tube, my willy glove comes out, the pair is always in my bag. (Right hand willy glove)

Just talking to a friend... she brushes her teeth in the shower. Not disgusting but weird rinsing with warm shower water no?

No, I only rinse teeth with warm water… that wasn’t meant to be my disgusting confession…

Disturbia81 · 25/03/2025 23:55

Pick nose and eat it
scratch private and sniff my hand
get ear wax out with my nails
fart and enjoy the smell

ah that feels better 😂

Mine has a very earthy smell. I can only relate it to petrichor.

Too many people and not enough toilets in my house.
I simply can’t wait ages for my kids to get out of the bathroom
So I have my very own posh sheewee

Its a Spode jug
I do love a bit of Spode.

Image of similar …it’s the one on the left. Lovely snug fit 😆😆

Edited

This is so fuckin funny 🤣
Bravo to you.

FullOfLemons · 26/03/2025 00:10

I love farting under the duvet.

Just love it. 😊

MonkeyRum · 26/03/2025 00:10

I have been suffering from piles for a little while now. Nothing awful but sometimes they are SO itchy, and if the time is right I take myself away and have a scratch. Oh my fucking lord, it’s almost orgasmic. So much so I have t actually done too much about getting rid of them.

bye.

Why is your bum sore after walking? Am I missing something?
