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

I love combing out my my DCs nits and looking at them under a microscope

Perhaps you remembered looking at them under a microscope at school. I remember looking at nits under a microscope then. (Not living ones, but ones preserved in a slide.)

Oh, and speaking of grandparents, I've remembered this quote from my late grandmother, on the shaking of hands for the "sign of peace" at church:

"The way people sneeze into their hand, then hold it out and expect you to shake it: it makes you want to keep your gloves on!"

@coldcallerbaiter Hey! I'm not just a vag hair puller..... I'm also a bum spot picker! 🤣🤣 how do the eyelashes taste? 😂 best thread ever!

They are crunchy but no flavour and they don’t last long.

You are lucky to have spots, I am older and don’t get them anymore. Make the most of them, you’ll miss squeezing and then examining/dissecting them….

I do enjoy my own farts too….they are notorious as I like artificial sweeteners.

I dry my cats in a hand towel when they come 🫴in soaked after being in the pouring rain.
I sometimes forget I've used said hand towel in this way.

Lulu49 · 27/03/2025 20:11

I take tea/coffee into the toilet with me

Best bogeys are the ones that you can feel flapping about and when you get it you can feel it stringing out from up far ...nothing beats getting a big fat slimy one

I see your slimey and raise you crunchy ones!

Crispy, salty, chewy. Who needs a larder when you’ve got snacks up your nose for convenience.

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!!!

How does one wash their hands before flushing the toilet and exiting the cubicle?

Asking for a friend...

I've just realised that she may be cleaning the tables in a cafe near where I live...🤢

Unless she's cleaning them with the used cloths, so fucking what?

Not before. After

The poster said in a shared workplace toilet she doesnt wash her hands after a wee

So i said, so you flush the chain and touch the lock (in a shared work bathroom so other people’s germs om those surfaces)
and didnt wash your hands

Ahh gotcha!

I obviously misread it and was very confused 😅

I blame the teething baby currently clinging to me 😫

May I please answer on behalf of several posters who made me literally gag when I was reading a thread yesterday - adults taking baths together with their babies and young children and normalising it! So basically, despite much research into what bathwater contains (faecal matter present between buttocks, urine, sweat, viruses, fungi) they happily do it. Gross (and vulgar too).

Why is it vulgar?

RandomUserName96 · 28/03/2025 03:54

Floogal · 25/03/2025 19:22

Pick my nose and ears
Farting
Masturbating
Farting while masturbating
Wearing same knickers for more than one day
(Worst of all) Sometimes I get skid marks in my knickers

Farting while masturbating, like on purpose?

As in Farting is part of your technique? Or just a fart as a result of said masturbation?

Les Dennis admitted to using his nail clippings as a toothpick on Would I Lie To You
If I'm in a restaurant & they bring out my food I take out my Invisalign retainers there & then if I can't be bothered to go somewhere private. I just put it in a tissue on the table & hope I remember to take it with me.
I love finding fleas on my cat, catching them in the comb & squashing them so they make a clicking sound. Used to love doing similar with dd's nits. So satisfying

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 25/03/2025 16:32

Not disgusting but weird

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

@mumofoneAlonebutokay I do this too and I’m definitely old enough to know better as my mum would say!

AppleSour · 28/03/2025 12:33

I have an old raggedy top that I use specifically for when I'm unwell with a snotty nose because it's soft and doesnt leave my face raw and tissue touching my face makes me want to vom. I do use antibac in the wash though.

I hope you are joking

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.

My cats love the taste of earwax. In my experience, most cats do. Do not ask how I discovered this Grin

I saw a woman today in a café who scratched her head then ate her findings 😂

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)

I have a constantly sweaty arse so stick a scrunched up piece of kitchen roll "between my crack" every single day 🙆

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.

Willy hands looool i love that
