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

My toilet brush is disinfected every couple of days...always has been. No dramas here

Can I ask why??

In agreement about how to clean up skid marks straight away.

But I do have a loo brush - for cleaning the loo when I'm cleaning the bathroom. Granted, I'm sure you could swab it for feacal germs, but it's not used to actually clean away visible poo!

How do you clean your loo?

Also with a toilet brush but I keep it with the cleaning stuff under the sink and there's no holder!

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten my own bogeys, but I don’t find the concept that disgusting. I don’t see it as manifestly different to swallowing your own saliva, nibbling the skin on your lips, or sucking a bleeding finger after you’ve cut it. It’s just mucous your own nose has produced, dried by the air you inhale all day long.

Yes I do most of that, don't have a dog, but cats occassionally eat leftovers from our plates, they sleep on our beds, and we use the same cutlery for their food - I do have a separate washing up sponge for their bowls....but I do use a washing up bowl....
We dry the cats with our towels if they've been out in the rain too! 😄
I don't put any of that in the same category as spittting/gobbing or sneezing without covering your mouth or nose!

I wouldn’t say 66 is elderly it’s the generation above you that I have generally seen as prolific tissue carriers! It’s obviously not all older people either but I’ve not seen younger people doing this at all 🤷‍♀️

Don’t be ridiculous, a loo brush are you crazy?😜

Chefs on TV tasting something and then putting the same spoon back in to the pan.

What's wrong with the cardboard inner of a loo roll, or a bit of dental floss, or an empty toothpaste tube, or an empty shampoo bottle, or brace elastics....?

The whole concept of dog-ownership is disgusting, but from a hygiene perspective, it's vile.
They poo, and then their anus is on your floors, sofas, bedding. The eat poo, they eat vomit, they sniff other dogs' asses, then their face is all in your stuff. Rank.

I feel the same about cats, but they aren't as filthy as dogs.

Where do you suggest people leave their phones? On the washbasins perhaps? Then they leave the toilet and strangely, their phone is missing.

Just cos it's gone in the bathroom bin doesn't mean it won't get recycled.

I collect all the small room bins weekly and sort them out into recycling etc.

I'm assuming they mean at home!

Kissing dogs and cats. Dogs eat faeces, sniff other dogs bums, eat any old stuff they see, cats clean their bums and genitalia with their tongues, eat vermin, then along comes soppy person giving the animal a kiss!

Interesting, I can't imagine not using one regularly. We had a holiday let that didn't have a draining rack or mat and no washing up bowl. So inefficient as a process. There was a dishwasher but not enough spare crockery to make use of it on days we ate out.

The number of women on here who see nothing wrong with keeping money in their bra 🤢

Having worked in a shop for a few years my advice is don’t ever buy food that’s been left uncovered. I’ve witnessed people squeezing bread with their bare hands, kids handling jellies and putting back into the pick and mix, people eating salads directly from salad bars using the big spoons. I never buy uncovered things for this reason

I’ve heard people having conversations in the loo cubicles at work while relieving themselves

I’d rather not but they are communal toilets

But surely no-one takes their phone in the toilet at home? I mean, it would never even occur to me.

🤣🤣🤣EDIT: it list the quote it was attached to! The one re putting other oroll ppl es genitals in your mouth!

Bringing dogs into eating places

I no longer have periods, but when I did there was no way I was trekking out to the bin everytime I changed a tampon or a pad. Absolutely nothing unhygienic about having a lined bathroom bin that's regularly emptied.

Honestly, I’m a right slattern by MN standards, but money really is dirty. Probably the dirtiest thing you’ll touch today. Young and with a fabulous immune system? Likely no problem whatsoever! Dealing with the elderly and vulnerable? I’m washing my hands frequently after handling, and it’s going no where near my mouth!

That's the least of your worries with shopping trollies 🤣🤣🤣.

foxes, rats, birds, various other wildlife depending on where they're stored at night. Not to mention if in some areas human using them for toilets/skeepibf/stir in their bank Shite.
