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

Sorry if it's already been covered but can someone explain to me like I'm 5 what the issue is with being barefoot on a plane? My feet only ever touch the floor, the insides of my socks, or the insides of my shoes (if I'm going rogue and no socks). I don't think I ever even touch my feet unless to wash them? I don't get it 🙈🤣

Never do this. Have not got any nasty illnesses.

People swallow snot without even realising, it gets pushed down to the the back of your nasal passage and down into your throat (which is why your throat feels blocked up when you've got a cold.)

Picking spots and eating the puss. Yes i have seen someone do this.

Don’t work with chn . I get to watch at least 5 chn among 30 picking their noses, inspecting the contents and then eating it every hour of my day.

I’ll bite. I have a meno runny nose. I use - shock, horror - a cloth hanky. Never killed myself nor anyone else yet. What’s the problem with a tissue/hanky used more than once and up a sleeve? If only women’s clothes had sensible pockets I’d use those more.
Mumsnet is bonkers sometimes. No wonder there’s more incidence of allergies in kids these days - poor little mites are bleached into oblivion.

My XH used to blow on every mouthful of food before he ate it. If it's too hot just wait for it to cool down a bit.

D'Annunzio managed it, apparently.

The day I left him my ex husband had a can pyramid next to his bed, and a floordrobe so high off the floor that the dog thought it was the bed and went to sleep on it.

I would point out I’d been in the spare room for 6 months so had not contributed 😂

I use hand sanitiser as seen people from certain cultures spit and mums letting their toddler DS to wee in the basins.

Sorry, what???

People who use hand sanitiser instead of soap and water in public bathrooms. Hand sanitiser is not effective against norovirus which is likely to be picked up in public bathrooms. Soap is needed to breakdown the virus shell.
The worst thing though is spitting in public.

Laying on their bed with outdoor shoes on. I've seen this done so many times in films and TV programmes.

Keep dogs as pets

Coming in from shopping and putting the shopping bags on the kitchen worktop, thereby transferring the germs from pavements/public transport/shops to the place where food is prepared.

Men who have a wank in their car while driving.

The teenage boys and men who I see far too often who constantly have one or both hands down their trousers touching their bits and pieces. I think it’s totally vile and inappropriate. 3 of them stood at the bus stop like it the other day and got on the bus and removed their hands from their pants to hold the hand rails with their sweaty penis and ball hands 🤮🤮🤮

Re using tea towels and kitchen cloths. Yuk. One use only here.

One wipe and in the wash? How awful for the environment and you very possible have some kind of disorder.

Where has that laughing reaction emoji gone!! 😆

Loo brushes. Disgusting.

I’ve been using bamboo hankies - much better than tissues and they wash well.

Are you like that with bath towels as well

I believe we have a water shortage in the UK

On the thread showing old clips of a young Mary Berry and Judith Chalmers giving advice on cooking etc. I couldn't believe my eyes when Mary kept coughing and politely covering her mouth with her hand THEN handling food. It was hilarious but very unhygienic of course. It wouldn't be allowed on screen now.

High-end European hotels with quality buffet dining - and (my own observations) a good 25% of Brits will eat food as they walk around the servery, licking each of their fingers individually, then touching the same serving spoons that the rest of us have to use. (Even after all our Covid “training”).

The same Brits in European spas and saunas - not washing or showering, not respecting the hygiene rules nor the facilities - sadly.

Don't they scratch your nostrils? 🫤
