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 use my cloth multiple times but I do leave it in soak in bleach each night.

JC, Thankfully I've been spared this one 🤢...
Err, all of the above (except doggies on the bed), but men spitting on the street is just vile!

I honestly couldn't live my life thinking like this. I bet its so tiring!

It gets wet. I dont like a wet tea towel hanging about.

It isn’t tiring but it is extremely stressful when so many people seem to have zero concern for the impact that their hygiene habits have on other people around them

But if you hang up the tea towel it dries!

I honestly never knew about the toilet lid down when flushing thing till on here about 2 weeks ago

So firstly I'm clearly a dirty bastard by some people's standards.

Secondly, I'd put money on the fact that the extremely obsessive sanitary police have generally more sickly and less robust offspring because they have been given no chance to build up any natural immunity to any germs

Finally, for the people clutching their pearls about 'filthy animals' in beds, on furniture, breathing the same air and just actually having the audacity to exist etc, you do realise that humans are animals, right?

Not sure if it has been mentioned but number 1 is wiping your bottom after doing a number 2 with just tissue.

Incase you ask what the alternative is. Washing your bottom!! Washing your bottom is the alternative!! Literally most other cultures do this!!!
You wouldn't just have poo on any other part of your body and wipe with tissue, you would wash it, why is the bottom any exception?!?
Phew, been meaning to get that off my chest for a while....

Not rtft but the first thing that springs to my mind is go swimming. I can't wear goggles because seeing all the fluff and debris on the bottom literally makes me gag. Praise the lord for chlorine!

As in hundreds, literally hundreds over the course of a day sharing that pool water..... wet bogies, smeg, pubes ugh

I used to go to school with a girl, who when it was her birthday we used to go to her house for a party and after singing happy birthday, all her family started grabbing handfuls of cake and feeding each other. Even at my young age of like 6/7 I was repulsed by this and never ate the slice of cake I was sent home with in my party bag. I get that it was probably a cultural thing, but no thanks.

No I mean specifically using a washing up bowl to wash up. All the plates etc are scrubbed together in the soapy water that increasingly becomes filthy with all the food remnants then taken out to drain without being rinsed in fresh water, at least that's how I've seen it be done. Makes no sense.

I’ve heard of that. Which culture / nationality?

I agree. I just wish our toilets were set up for this.

I'm looking after a friend's whippet at the moment. She's the most delightful bedmate, doesn't snore, doesn't smell, doesn't steal the covers and doesn't fidget.

I hang it up. It dries. I change it every other day. It’s only dried water!

I think they were Hindu from memory

When I had dogs, I always regarded the plate-licking as a pre-wash cycle before the plates went in the dishwasher.

They're amazingly efficient at getting plates clean, and I reckon the dishwasher water is hot enough to kill almost any germs.

Am I the only person who doesn't wash their arse every time they have a poo?

The British are reviled in some other countries (which I choose not to name) for not rinsing their plates etc once they've been washed. All you have to do is rinse them under the tap. Not hard. Who wants soapy food? My mum was fastidious about the order in which things were washed up: cutlery, cups and saucers, side plates, desert plates, dinner plates, serving dishes, saucepans, roasting tins. Many years after her insisting on this and supervising me, I can't bring myself to do it any other way.

Em no. I never have. Goodness knows how you'd do it in a public toilet.

Never rinsed dishes after they're washed - just dry them.

Biting/chewing on pens then leaving them for others to use……..eugh!!!

Don’t know how often the floors are cleaned properly.

The flights such as EasyJet have a 50 min turnaround before the return flight goes.

Personally I find buffet food at big impersonal hotels a bit rank - I’ve seen people pick stuff up with hands and then just put it back -dip fingers into stuff to taste it first, cough all over it, sweat dripping onto stuff - hence why I rarely eat in big hotels where it’s not individual orders - I even sometimes go out for breakfast when it’s included if it feels like a giant messy free for all .
