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

Not disgusting but weird

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

I do this at least once a day.

I wear trainers without socks, which is a disgusting sin according to mumsnet.

How unlike the homelife of our own dear Queen.

(I can’t @ you all but I want to!)

BunnyOnTheOnion · 25/03/2025 18:39

(Discretely) wee outdoors if I'm caught short. Sometimes I just suddenly have to go... I'm often with walkers / cyclists / runners etc who accept a nature wee is part of life if you're out and about for hours... but I know MN thinks this is horrific!!

Brilliant!

I used to do this when I was little, we had 3 flights of stairs and I’d race to the top doing it😂
Might start doing it again!

Sometimes I don’t shower for like 5 days. Quite often in fact.

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

Only if they're black?

Well, I suppose it indicates having some semblance of decorum, at least. 👍

Kaybee50 · 25/03/2025 18:46

Mine are wee related!

I wee in the shower (and clean it properly afterwards)

when I was at uni in halls, rather then go to the loo at the far end of the corridor in the night, I used to squat over the sink my bedroom (using a chair!) The sink was only used my me and only for a wee!!!

Just talking to a friend... she brushes her teeth in the shower. Not disgusting but weird rinsing with warm shower water no?

I do this everyday. You shouldn’t rinse anyway, just spit, you need a light coating of toothpaste on your teeth so the fluoride works.

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.

This is why the taps and soap dispenser at work (and in a lot of public toilets) are motion activated. Nothing to touch except the door handle on the way out. Which should be clean, but it's not because some people don't wash their hands, or just use water and no soap.

It's one thing touching a tap at home that only has my family's germs on it, but I don't want to be sharing gems with the general public.

If I'm using a public toilet with a traditional tap I give the tap handles a wash with the soap while I'm washing my hands!

Tipofthecattoes · 25/03/2025 18:47

Wipe my nose on clothes, duvets etc

don't brush my teeth at night (no fillings)

wear pants for more than one day if I can’t be bothered to change them.

scratch my bum with duvet if I’m naked in bed.

I’m a very well put together professional person and no-one would ever know.

I do this too, can’t think that there’s anything wrong with it? I do it in part so I can floss in the shower, which I don’t like doing over a sink.

We're covered in willy cells! 😭
