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

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

I haven’t exercised for age, having been very fit, and slender, a couple of years ago.

Have recently restarted, but bigger than I was before. Probably tmi, but it’s been hot and sweaty here the past few days and my cheeks have rubbed together. Feels like nappy rash!
Bought an anti-chafing stick today so shouldn’t be an issue going forward!

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)

This is brilliant 😁

Woman after my own heart!

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

Mine smells bitter and slightly poisonous, like some sort of Victorian tincture. I’ve always wondered if this is unusual or if other people’s smells the same.

I once shared a house with a bloke who, I discovered one night, blew his nose on the tea towel he was using to do the drying up. It was revolting. When I complained he brushed me off, irritated.

After that I washed everything before I used it and kept my tea towels in my bedroom.

Pick skin
Have been known to eat it
Sniff.my cats paws for comfort. Dread to think where they've been.
Pick my nose and ears

I sniff my cats to smell that they smell like mine
I wouldn’t sniff their paws. They’ve stood on them, in the litter tray sometimes standing on wee or poo. Why would you sniff paws when the head and neck etc easily provide the comfort smell?! I have seven. I like to do a little paw hold now and again which they don’t mind, but I wash my hand afterwards!

Ireallyamgross · 26/03/2025 01:15

This is real bad forr you. I poke the wax out of my ears usin a hair clip and eat it,

When I'm alone and I burp, I say burp as I'm burping.
I'm 51. It's revolting. Blush

Two possible goals with this; archbishop, or encyclopédia. I find archbishop funnier.

In the work restroom, senior manager emerges from toilet, straight out the exit (I was drying my hands in tissue).
I kid you not:
I was washing my hands in the hospital public loo and a nurse came out of the cubicle and walked straight out.
When I was making coffee in a bank staffroom, one of the senior staff (30s f) used the dishcloth to wipe dog poo off of her shoe and threw it back in the sink (never used it anyway, but..)

Topseyt123 · 26/03/2025 03:21

I fart long and loud around my own house and sometimes in public too (checking first that nobody is too close and in my direct firing line). I find a good, long, loud fart extremely satisfying.

DH does it too. He used to be quite posh and polite about things like that but I have got him better trained after 31 years of marriage. 😃

anonymous98 · 26/03/2025 03:30

Pick my toenails (so much so that I barely even have toenails anymore)
Pick scabs

anonymous98 · 26/03/2025 03:36

Forgot one: Sometimes when home alone I'll skip a hair wash and then shake my head to see how much dandruff comes off. Horribly satisfying.

Londog · 26/03/2025 03:44

Wear my husband’s y-fronts if I can’t locate any clean knickers - sooo comfy 🤭

Are you my child?

I thought around a week is normal?

A friend of mine (family of four) once told me that she washed their towels after one use. I imagined her spending half her day just doing bloody laundry.

Pick my nose.

Look at the paper I’ve just wiped my bum with to see if I can see what kind of food it was (I have IBS so it’s useful to see whether a reactive food might have passed through)

if I’m having a pyjama day I’ll leave the same knickers on all day that I’ve worn to bed the night before.

haha…are you my long lost twin?? 🤣

Pick my nose!

Why is it considered dirty though? It’s just air that your noise has filtered. I don’t understand the dirtiness and I’m pretty sure everyone does it but just won’t admit to it

Bite my nails. Including toenails.

How does one bite their toe nails?

Probably the only way you can imagine. I just sit on my bed and hold my foot up to where my teeth can reach 😂 I don't even think I'm that flexible but it's quite easy!

Freshflower · 26/03/2025 09:42

I rip skin off the soles of my feet.....so satisfying

We've done a few long road trips in the South West of the USA, lots of desert areas and I love getting cornflake bogeys, incredibly dry and large that I can blow out.

Cornflake bogeys 😂 I'm stealing that term!

MooFroo · 25/03/2025 23:06

And me!

I fart in public sometimes when I can’t hold it in b- sorry!

When I was still teaching in a High School and I felt one coming on, I would go and stand near the grottiest, usually male, pupil then look at him when it quietly exited! To be honest, they let so many off I didn't feel bad about it at all.
