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!

Just had to re-read all this today to make sure it was still here. Am weeping at work now!

vezzie · 27/01/2009 11:32

These are so amazingly brilliant. I am reading them now because it is neither breakfast nor lunchtime and they really don't go with food!

Here are mine. I had an ex who:

would wipe his smokers oyster-phlegm-filled nose on my back in bed.

would wipe wee off his willy onto the towels on towel rails in the bathroom and leave them there.

would pee in the bath even if I was in it too.

would cum on anything in other people's houses and wipe it everywhere - sofas, cushions etc.

had tea towels you could smell yards away (even over the constantly overflowing with poo cat litter tray).

Used not to flush the loo. Once I came back from 2 weeks' holiday and he had left my flat just after me 2 weeks ago: the whole flat stank of what he had left in the bog.

His mouth smelt necrotic. He snored through it, always open.

He used to run big hot baths, get in them, not wash, and get out again. He always smelt bad and his hands were visibly grey with dirt and somehow - weird I have never known this of anyone else - they smelt really strongly too.

He ate crap constantly and burped loudly, stinkily and longsufferingly, expecting sympathy for his indigestion, which was solely the result of eating cakes and burgers without pausing.

the day after I had accepted his marriage proposal (WHAT? and cried all night - what was my subconscious trying to tell me?) we went out for coffee and he was stuffing his face with some pastry or other on the way to the coffee place that was 5 minutes down the road (obviously couldn't wait). He turned to say something to me and inhaled a crumb or something and spat a mouthful of chewed food all over my face. All over. I was facially pebble-dashed with crap out of his stinky necrotic mouth. He was offended that I didn't like it.

We did not get married.

themoon66 · 27/01/2009 11:42

Vessie... what on earth made the word 'yes' come out of your mouth when he asked you to marry him???

vezzie · 27/01/2009 11:55

themoon66 - he was very kind and funny and loyal and was always telling me I was brilliant and he loved me. The ex before that was always telling me I was rubbish, and it seemed when I met this lovely warm chap that I was onto a good thing. I thought it was shallow to mind about the smells!

He is still lovely and married to someone else and I honestly hope they are very happy. I don't envy her tho!

Dropdeadfred · 27/01/2009 11:59

did he knowingly wipe his nose on you?

what the hell did you say????

higgle · 27/01/2009 12:04

Lets his electric toothbrush build up large deposits of grey stuff on the hand basin, and then when he uses it doesn't close his mough and leaves tiles and mirror splattered with toothpaste and saliva. Never ever washes towels or bed linen, this is supposedly my job. Wears some clothes until they are very smelly indeed because only I understand handwashing / washing machine delicates cycle (he says)

Katiekitty · 27/01/2009 12:17

I had an ex boyfriend, who got through just six pairs of pants in nine months before he washed them.

I know this because things between us had broken down so badly that we lived in separate rooms and I did my own washing. I began to notice that he never ever did any washing, at all, and then I found out he kept his filthy trollies under his bed and just recycled them without a tour of the washing machine being involved.

It was a happy day when I eventually moved out...

gingersarah · 27/01/2009 12:30

dropdeadfred - I did object but I had no credibility because I also objected to things like... well the jizz on the sofa, etc. So clearly I was just a big fuss pot who had no sense of Real Values.

I am still confused about this. The reactions on this thread make me think it is ok to be grossed out. But at the time it seemed that he had had several serious loving relationships and had never grossed anyone out before. Were they just being very quiet?

vezzie · 27/01/2009 12:34

higgle - when this ex had a room in a nice house, his kind friendly landlady confided in me that she had started sneaking into his room to take the sheets off and wash them and put them back as she had noticed he never ever washed any sheets. (this made me feel guilty.) (I did not tell her that she should have all the upholstery and carpets steam cleaned before using the room for anything else after he left. Or share his bathroom secrets with her.)

IamLeticiaDean · 27/01/2009 12:41

Oh god bellawella has just reminded me...My ex never used to wipe his bum properly and his anal beard was peppered with clinkers. I tackled him about it but he got all defensive as though it wasn't his fault, but surely even if you had the world's hairiest bum hole you'd find a way of getting it clean??????

ermintrude13 · 27/01/2009 12:46

'his anal beard was peppered with clinkers'

My DH LOVES toilet wipes. He showers, changes pants and deodorises daily, and always smells nice. No jizz on soft furnishings, no bogies on headboards, no poo stains on bedsheets.

I'm a bit worried he might actually be a GIRL

Or do you think that the fact we're mostly talking about exes is significant???

BurningBright · 27/01/2009 13:47

My grandfather (God rest his soul) was lovely, but...

...he once coughed his false teeth out while on a fishing trip. They landed in cow shit. He rinsed them off. In the river. And then put them back in.

Mummyfor3 · 27/01/2009 13:57

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe this thread is still going!! Endless material, obviously!

dsrplus8 · 27/01/2009 14:01

this just gets wierder and wierder, ! lol

Mummyfor3 · 27/01/2009 14:11

I am just back from work where I could not figure out how to tell anybody about this thread without looking like a real weirdo!! Some things are NOT for sharing with people who actually know you... DH was getting worried about me last night when I started having breathing difficulties.
All the veg stories, OMG! I once witnessed a carrot having to be removed from some person's backside: apparently he had been peeling carrots when he slipped and fell on to it . What will stay with me forever (inspite of bucket of bleach) is that when the broken off half had been removed, it became apparent that he had inserted it leafy end first, IYKWIM! Surely if one were to use a carrot to this end, there is a very obvious "this side up" shape to it???

DaphneMoon · 27/01/2009 14:33

These are so funny. I think my DP must be quite clean reading these. He farts constantly and I mean constantly, but they only smell bad occasionally. The funny thing is if I fart he calls me all the names under the sun! Apart from that he is rather clean. I am still laughing at the clingers on anal beard though - classic.

lou33 · 27/01/2009 15:50

anal beard and clinkers made me snort!

themoon66 · 27/01/2009 17:28

I'm catching up with this thread quick before DH gets home. I want to be able to laugh VERY loudly, so that I don't actually wee myself

Clinker man asked me to rim him once. It was at the end of relationship and I think he was trying to test my love. I refused.

lou33 · 27/01/2009 18:15

he probably just wanted a clean bum for once

Dropdeadfred · 27/01/2009 18:18

how could you stay with him once you had witnessed the clinkers? euuugh

IamLeticiaDean · 27/01/2009 18:19

I know, I would have been doing him a favour!
