ok girls time to spill, whats the most revolting bad habit the man/son/male in your life does, lets be honest ? dh farts a lot, but worse than that if he drops a chocolate biscuiteon the floor he'll pick it up, blow on it as if that decontaminates it from bacteria and eats it. yuck! hve accidentally broken some crockery chucking it at him when ive caught him doing this!

Leaves his used undies in a trail all over the place (bedroom floor, bathroom floor...who knows where they'll turn up next?)

Bites the skin on his thumb STOP IT!

bites his nails
leaves laundry on the floor
doesn't 'clean' his toothbrush so it gets all manky
leaves used hankies around the place
...

DP cleans under his nails with the kitchen knives. Filthy creature. Use a cocktail stick you oaf! Or better yet WASH YOUR FECKIN' HANDS PROPERLY! Its called a NAIL brush for reasons which obviuosly escape him!

VinegarTits · 26/01/2009 17:35

Does he pick up food off your diry floors, or off the pavement outside?

I will eat food that i have dropped inside my house (my floors are spotless) i just say 'god bless my food' and blow on it

VinegarTits · 26/01/2009 17:37

Motherflippin, what did your ex do? he didnt wipe his knob on the curtain after sex did he?

SobranieCocktail · 26/01/2009 17:38

God I eat food that's fallen on the floor all the time.

But then my floors are quite clean

(whispers) blows his nose then inspects contents of hanky , & never ever ever cleans the toilet pan when he has made a mess of it

(but I still love him heaps, after all no one's perfect)

wabbit · 26/01/2009 17:41

I do 'magic blow' to get germs off ds's food that's dropped onto the floor... the three second rule applies in this house

DP has NO revolting habits it's me who has to curb mine (I fart and pick at my toenails incessantly )

loobeylou · 26/01/2009 17:41

LOL VT !!
(loobey eyes her curtains from the charity shop very suspiciously.....just what WAS that odd little stain?)

VinegarTits · 26/01/2009 17:42

My ex used to pick his nose and eat it

wabbit · 26/01/2009 17:42

lol @ VT!

Mummyfor3 · 26/01/2009 17:44

Eating biscuits off floors, inside or out, is disgusting? Really? Oh dear...

DS2 eats his brother's bogies, no really, almost made me heave when I witnessed it, but then I passed out laughing . DH will collect belly button fluff and roll it between thumb and index finger whilst watching telly.
Dirty undies/laundry etc, pah! Yes, Motherflippin, what did he do? Begging you, please beat the above.

JustKeepSwimming · 26/01/2009 17:44

Eating food from the floor no problem here

Cleaning the toilet, argh, had to have words the other day when i had friends coming round and he'd left it in a gross state.

farting lots obv!

waiting for MotherFlippin to come clean!

MissusLindt · 26/01/2009 17:45

LOL VT

DH bites the skin on his thumbs too.

We have the 3 second rule too when a biscuit is dropped on the floor. Will watch my head for flying crockery when Dsrplus8 in nearby.

Mummyfor3 · 26/01/2009 17:47

Oh, yes, hankies, yunk!! The sooner they are made illegal the better.

Or how about DS1 eating (dried) cat poo in the garden when he was about 1? Did not do him any harm, BTW, but would not encourage it

MrsTittleMouse · 26/01/2009 17:48

Very interested to see what motherflippin will come up with. DH bites his nails - his toenails.

Picks nose.

Farts excessively

Seems to somehow miss the bowl and "deposit" on the rim of the toilet seat. WTF? How does that happen?

lindenlass · 26/01/2009 17:53

What on earth is wrong in eating food if it's been dropped on the floor? What a disgusting waste if you throw away everything that falls on the floor.

My DH is so non-disgusting, it's unreal Wish i could think of something to put in the thread!
