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!

Or don't tell me, he was reusing the same condom over and over - being a poor student

Mine is very loud in the loo. He can be heard farting through three solid oak doors. I'm actually amazed he hasn't sandblasted the shine off the china bowl yet.

But, no, he did not collect condoms, just content - thought I'd better clarify.

OP, I had not thought of this for YEARS, I mean 20+ years. I will personally hold you responsible for any bad dreams I may have tonight.

Off to give darling innocent DSs their dinner, making sure they wash their hands first

JustKeepSwimming · 26/01/2009 18:17

Mfor3 - that is just truly disgusting.
And how? i mean, did he tip it out into the jar while soon to be ex lover was lying there?
oh i can't think about this, gross!

loobeylou · 26/01/2009 18:17

as i thought, he only had 1 condom and was reusing it

luckychelle · 26/01/2009 18:18

My Dad used to clean underneath his toenails with the clasp of his watch and eat it.

'Toe Jam' he called it.

shudder

loobeylou · 26/01/2009 18:18

one more thing...how big was the jar? do you think it is full yet?

FattipuffsandThinnifers · 26/01/2009 18:22

God I wish I hadn't opened this thread... [retch emoticon]

Mummyfor3 · 26/01/2009 18:23

Lalalalal, I have finger is ears, no longer listening, really MUST feed children!

BCNS · 26/01/2009 18:35

not half as bad as motherflippings.. or infact the condom jar.. but ex used to cut his toenails with a penknife and the skin around his toes and eat it..

Picante · 26/01/2009 18:37

I'm afraid we have a role reversal in my house. I'm the one with the bad habits and poor hygiene. DH spends hours in the bathroom and is a clean freak. I won't tell you what I do...

Subbacultcha · 26/01/2009 18:38

I once didnt nag XP to have a shower, he went for about 6 weeks before taking himself, and even then i had to nag him.
I think he must have had rabies.
Needless to say he didnt get his leg over in that time.

SoMuchToBits · 26/01/2009 18:40

My exh dried his hands on the bedspread when he didn't have a towel to hand, but I see that is not paticularly revolting by some people's standards!

JodieO · 26/01/2009 18:40

I'm trying hard not to gag reading some of these, shudder.

newlysinglemummy · 26/01/2009 18:41

motherflippin - yuk about the eating * thing, how do you know this? as you said he did the deed himself? I think I would of ran out of the house naked if someone did that lol....

I suppose exp blowing his nose in the sink and bath do not compare...

newlysinglemummy · 26/01/2009 18:42

scubba - that is nasty, how could anyone not shower for that long??????? yuk

Subbacultcha · 26/01/2009 19:05

Oh, his hair was disgusting, and he would always want cuddles and stick his hair in my face, it was vile, he would have gone longer if i hadnt have nagged him, i hated it and so did he, if he had just had a fecking regular shower then it would have saved loads of arguements

her also used to just sneeze into the air without covering and also when nagged on that he then started to sneeze into the t-shirt he was wearing. it was horrible, you would see the spray pattern, yuk yuk yuk!

Dh bites off his fingernails, and picks his tonails, then leaves the 'clippings' in neat little piles on the arm of the sofa, or on the computer table. Ewww.

He does something else gross too but I'm not telling that one.
