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

I used to get tonsil stones, not any more for some reason, and I'd take pleasure in squishing them and sniffing the stink intensely. It would both disgust and engross me.
I'd eventually wipe the squidgy stuff on a tissue & chuck it in the bin. Sometimes I'd fish the tissue back out of the bin to give it another sniff.

I dip a Crunchie chocolate bar into my coffee and lick the chocolate off. 🤭

That’s not disgusting, it’s obligatory 😁

Couldn't get past the first page of this thread, yuk, can remember mother (I'm quite old) having to wash snotty hankies, used to have special bucket she put on the gas cooker to boil them up in, then went outside to tip the water down the drain. Thank goodness for tissues.

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.

Omg grim 🤢

I rarely walk up the stairs at home on my feet, I’ve always gone up on all fours ever since I was little. Obviously only at home, I’d look a bit of a pillock doing it in public

My friend did that and her daughter came along and picked her school dress off the pile of dirty laundry and wore it. Still makes me laugh ten years on.

MIL's council house is like this. It really bothers me for some reason. I find myself wishing she had a handle on the bog door rather than a round knob, so that I could open it with my elbow rather than touching it with unwashed hands.

I've no idea why it bothers me so much, as I'm a complete slattern in most respects.

I think it’s a bit like I think other people’s toilets have distinct smells. It means very few outside of my own do I feel are clean and nice despite them probably all actually being clean they just are not mine and fragranced in the same way 😅

Though I agree a bar handle is much easier and nicer in many situations.

They say this about me at work and suggested this….

Edited

Always sending stuff like that to my friend haha

Idontcareboutthestateofmyhair · 31/03/2025 01:21

I love picking my nose but I'm quite hygienic when I do it. Usually get myself a wipe and a hankie and go to town! When I was a kid, not so hygienic.. I used to stick my bogies behind my headboard at night and to stop my mum finding them I'd wait until they were dry then flick them at my sister across the bedroom lol...apart from that I was a very clean child

When no one is around, I fart to my heart's content.

My mum used to boil underwear ( knickers etc ) on the stove @cassie2and2

just wondering now if she used that pot to cook the food in too. Highly unlikely at the same time though 🤣

Mollysocks · 02/04/2025 13:32

I sniff my dog’s paw pads, it’s a weird popcorn smell but I find it comforting.

scalt · 02/04/2025 21:06

I use my face to stroke my cat. I love the smell of his fur.

cassie2and2 · 03/04/2025 11:18

Perhaps they wore them more than one day then😬 must admit to always setting w. machine to prewash for D H underpants😂

RareTraybake · 05/04/2025 18:13
