Name something unhygienic/disgusting but people do it

[stoow]

I start off:
. Holding money their mouths. It’s mainly an elderly person thing. Friends working in retail see this often. Even in mask wearing days, customers lowered masks to do this, yet denied it.
. Going to the toilet and not flushing
. Washing chicken out. People don’t realise that this can spray bacteria around. Cooking it properly will kill bacteria.
. Coughing without covering mouth. Even with Covid, people are still doing this.
. Not washing hands after using loo. In public toilets, I use hand sanitiser as seen people from certain cultures spit and mums letting their toddler DS to wee in the basins.
. On planes, people walking barefooted especially in toilets. With the quick turnaround of planes, the staff can’t clean everywhere

I guess it depends on the style of food you eat - we eat a lot of food where you would use your hands in some way. E.g. we might have mezze where you would pick up and tear pitta bread

I have a pretty big sized washing machine. They go in with the sheets or towels. I dont wash up that often btw, I have a dishwasher. I'm not doing a load of clothes on its own.

The treasure that is Pam Ayres has a wonderful poem about visiting the plane toilet shoeless and finding herself paddling in wee.

I take my shoes off to fly long haul, never think anything of it; my feet are clean and my socks freshly laundered. I suspect many people have had the misfortune not to sit next to me, but next to Hippy Joe, who has just spent a month hiking in the Himalayas with only one pair of socks and the odd wet wipe wash.

Fucking hell, that was a volta.

I go to the gym to swim most days and I shower there and they give me a towel each visit. Same for my husband and daughter. So we dont use lots of towels tbf.

Also, I should add, I have 2 large breed, very hairy dogs, so I don't think I have a disorder. I just dont agree with the idea of keeping a germ laden cloth around to reuse.

@RhaenysRocks 😂

I once worked in a supermarket and it was a sweltering day and this sweaty huge breasted lady proceeded to search for her money in her bra. She was most offended at the horror on my face as she tried to pass me the soggy (pre polymer) note. I still shudder at the mammary, I mean memory 😂

Modern-day equivalent of reading on the loo. One type of multi-tasking that males have never found difficult... 🤢

Had a conversation with my SiL about flannels. She doesn't ever wash hers because it gets washed everyday in the shower. Errr nope.
Customers dogs being fussed in cafes by members of staff. Then they go back to making sandwiches, picking up plates etc with their dog shit - bacteria covered hands because it never occurs to them to wash them.
People carrying small dogs with the dogs backside resting on their arm That shirt/ jumper sleeve is covered in dog shit particles from your dog's anus. Revolting.

Pants for pets please.

Or at least butthole tassels

Picking their feet or toenails

They quite often have tassells of shit there. Klingons I believe they're called.

There's an idea.

Placing your handbag/briefcase/rucksack on kitchen counter or dining table. Filthy from train floors, offices etc.

Walking into a hotel room and throwing your luggage onto the bed. Straight from the plane, airport floor etc.

Handbag on floor of public toilet.

Shoes on the bed.

Light switches, remote controls and headboards in hotel rooms.

If this makes me weird then so be it.

I don't get the para/sentence that begins 'light switches'? Maybe you are thinking people touch them, but how can the light or tv work without them. Re headboard, I don't think I especially use one as I never read/sit up in bed but hotels/anywhere without them look wrong/cheap/missing something

😂😂😂

Every men under 50 I’ve known has done it, it’s like they’re worried it’s fallen off and constantly need to check.

We always called them clinkers or my dad would call them dingleberries.

But a teatowel just dries clean dishes/cutlery that have literally just been washed! How is it germy?

Using sanitiser instead of washing is gross. Most of them don’t kill Norovirus and that’s the main reason to wash your hands after the toilet.

Why?

Radio active poo?

My mother always used a washing up bowl or basin as we call it. I don't.
I don't get the hatred for using one or just using the sink 🤔
