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

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 had a schoolfriend who had a separate toilet and bathroom and in the toilet (with no basin) was a towel hanging on a hook. I used to feel sick thinking what was on it 🤢

If I take off black cotton knickers at the end of the day - I fold them up and wipe over my bedroom tops ...

Sometimes I dust the bedside table, bathroom shelves etc with clothes im about to put in the wash. Socks, leggings etc

When I had just given birth I caught my DH drying off the bathroom that he had cleaned (special event as I’d just given birth) with my DS dirty babygro. Basis - about to go in the wash. Aside from cleaning the bathroom with a dirty babygro I’d washed everything etc to avoid all scaremongering chemicals and he’s whipping the babygro round in bleach 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh no that's a step too far!

Bite my nails. Including toenails.

You must be incredibly flexible. I must admit, I’m slightly jealous. 😂

I always wonder if men who don’t wash their hands after holding their chap realise the men they are also shaking hands with might not of washed theirs….

Its the secret handshake, kinda like being in the freemasons

Why though? God this thread makes me feel sick.

Oh I think it’s relatively tame so far, I was hoping for some proper depravity to be declared 😂.

I love the idea of blowing ones nose on washing before it goes in. I need to time it right as I only ever have a runny nose when there's no tissue within a three mile radius. For some awful reason!

The thing I do is bite and chew and pick my lip and inside my mouth. It's so gross and means I'm obviously never able to have lip fillers.
I like to pull the skin off and like to taste the blood.
Gross I know. I think others do it but I don't know anyone who admits to it. It's like biting nails.
I think I have ADHD so that might be partly why?

Oh, I’ve done that. Hasn’t everyone!?

No, I wouldn't dare in case of leaks but mine were always quite heavy. I would have liked to be able to!

Jejjjg · 25/03/2025 18:26

I cup my hands and fart into it and smell it

Wouldn’t count on it for any length of time but when caught short it does the job!

It cracked me up no end as they have a very looks down their nose at everyone family member will tut at a spec of dust and to know he had been using her towels like that for probably months without anyone knowing made my heart happy 🤣🤣

Not disgusting but weird

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

Me too. And go down on my bum 😁

I take it you only used that bathroom once. How gross 🤢

Grumblegrub · 25/03/2025 18:31

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.

DH is that you?? 😤
some cheeky fucker uses my body towel (as opposed to my hair towel) every damn day to wipe toothpaste off their chops 🤬

But think about all the body parts you’re drying with your body towel…I think he might be getting the worst deal! Even if it is his own fault. 🤮😂

You should get one of those German toilets installed, with the shit inspection shelf.

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 sort of understand this. You get up in the morning, have a shower, all clean, pop the old chap in your y-fronts, nothing bad can get in there with it. And urine isn't all that germ-laden anyway. (But don't kid yourself: There is a cloud of very fine droplets all around the stream. Plus the accumulated post-pee drips. 😱)

But "you touched your willy" is not the only reason why you should wash you hands after having a pee. You should wash your hands because washing your hands regularly is a good thing to do, because everywhere else is filthy.

Without getting too obsessive about it, remind yourself, every surface I touch is covered with germs and crud, and that's now all over my hands. In fact there's a case to be made for washing your hands before you use them to pop the old chap out of your y-fronts.

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

So if you knew another fella had just been for a piss and didn’t wash his hands, would you happily shake his hand? Eat something he passed to you?
