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

I sniff the floss after I’ve used it 🫣

As a bloke I find it quite weird how people get bent out of shape about this, i touch my willy to aim the stream, I don't piss all over my hands and then walk out the bathroom.

I wish I was surprised that you’d admit this with zero shame, but nothing blokes do surprises me anymore.

Ooh there's a man - we really are dying to hear your opinion

Middlechild3 · 25/03/2025 17:20

I sometimes pick my nose with tweezers

ketchuporbrownsauce · 25/03/2025 17:21

Pick my nose - getting a big one is satisfying 😅

If it was disgusting in my eyes, I wouldn't do it.

But people at the place I used to work at before having the kids gave me grief for not washing my hands after a wazz (i wash them after a poo obviously)

This, ladies and gentlemen, is why they say you shouldn’t trust other people’s hygiene standards. There are people like this walking amongst us.

Nothing wrong with that, and eco friendly as well.

Yes, and they serve us food; do our hair; look after our medical needs; shake our hands and loads more. Ooooh I'm starting to feel dizzy!

FeministUnderTheCatriarchy · 25/03/2025 17:33

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.

Not disgusting but weird

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

I knew I'd found my soul mate when partner and I confessed we both do this

pimplebum · 25/03/2025 17:39

So you touch your penis for a wee , flush then open the staff room fridge , make a coffee , put your hand in the door , handrail , hand your phone to your child public transport?

wash your frigging hands you grubby germ spreader !

pimplebum · 25/03/2025 17:40

Shake hands with visitors ….

Forwards? Or backwards like a sailor coming down a ladder? I’m struggling to picture this.

Edit: no ignore me! Climb, not descend 😂

Wipe my mouth with the bathroom towel if i still have a load of toothpaste around it in a morning.

A friends son was caught as a toddler dabbing his chap dry on it after a wee. Can never see hand towels the same in people’s bathrooms 😅

I’d take relatively aseptic piss rather than your fresh-from-your-penis hands.

Absolutely rank.

PoopingAllTheWay · 25/03/2025 16:38

So a shared work bathroom and you didnt wash your hands after a wee?

So you flushed the chain and touched the lock on a shared bathroom ?

Thats rank!!!

There are just as many germs on the taps and the door handle. So when you come out of the stall, you turn on the tap, which leaves some germs and picks up some too. You wash the germs off your hands, then turn off the tap, getting more germs on your hands. Then you open the door, getting more germs on the handle, and picking some up as well. Then you go to the kitchen and turn on the tap to fill the kettle.

We're surrounded by germs. Good hygiene can reduce risk, but it can't stop you coming in contact with germs. And in shared loos, there's nothing you can do to avoid them, short of a hazmat suit.

Google 'toilet plume'. Basically, the pee hitting the porcelain sends up a fine cloud of droplets which will cover your hands.

I'm afraid you are indeed Mr Pissy Hands.

Edited

😭😭😄 if I'm descending, I sometimes jump down a step or walk on the sides of my feet - zero idea why

I'm heading over to twitter - this place is vile today

That's disgusting I can't believe you admitted that 🤔

Echobowels · 25/03/2025 17:56

Keiththecatwithamagichat · 25/03/2025 16:51

I pick at the dry skin on my heels.

I do this... and then eat it! 🤮

exhaustedandwholly · 25/03/2025 17:57

This thread is brilliant. Made a bad day into a good one.

my disgusting habit is that I pick my nose, otherwise how else can I get the spikey bogeys out?
