Do you eat them Hifi?

Desiderata · 28/01/2009 16:28

I eat my bogies

And I only shaved my legs twice last year: once for a holiday, and once for a wedding.

BitOfFun · 28/01/2009 16:29

Oh gosh, I do that too- again, it hadn't occurred to me it was yucky...and the hair as floss when desperate: that's just resourceful, surely?

BitOfFun · 28/01/2009 16:30

The picking your head, I'm talking about.

Marthasmama · 28/01/2009 16:34

I'm starting to feel all clean and Audrey Hepburn-like!

VinegarTits · 28/01/2009 16:34

Oh god these are getting worse

I used my vibrator, wipe it on the duvet and stick it back in the draw

exclaimer: i dont stick it inside, just hold it against my clitoria

Dropdeadfred · 28/01/2009 16:35

can anyone explain why you would eat what caome sout of your nose???

differentID · 28/01/2009 16:37

OK, as this has got going I will also admit to being a spot squeezer,
I hate washing my hair, because it's past my waist, very thick and wavy and takes 24 hours to be fully dry, so it gets done once a week.
I sometimes use the pin on my name badge to pick my teeth/ clean under my nails(when I let them grow enough)
Chew my nails
Chew pencils and pen lids, used to eat paper and grass as a child. Occasionally indulge even now.
Pick off scabs and eat them
Sometimes wear socks for 2 days in a row
Don't always remember to brush my teeth in the evening.

Plenty more will be remebered I'm sure.

Desiderata · 28/01/2009 16:37

I used to do that, Vinegar.

When I was in my late teens, I moved back into the family home for a few months when my dad was in the process of selling it.

When I finally left, he did the quick once over, and found three vibrators I'd somehow overlooked.

He arranged them in a little circle on the bedroom floor for me to find

I sometimes use the lid bit of my Mitchums deoderant ...

Marthasmama · 28/01/2009 16:38

My DH explained that it saves having to flick it and risk it ending up somewhere you don't want it to be. It's a convenient way of disposing of them. But, ugh, the thought, especially the half gooey half crusty ones. My tummy's gone all squirty.....

Marthasmama · 28/01/2009 16:39

SOrry, that was in answer to why eat bogies.

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 16:40

PMSL Desi.

mollyroger · 28/01/2009 16:40

well, if I am honest, I've only been caught at it once...

I am a proper slattern on sevrral counts....

VinegarTits · 28/01/2009 16:41

Eugggh eating scabs that is just gross, mind you i have been know to squeeze a spot, wipe it on my jumper, then carry on eating a bag of crisps

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 16:42

Desi does your mum know let's hope she isn't a sniffer! I have used the rounded end of some cordless hair curlers

Dropdeadfred · 28/01/2009 16:43

daphne were your curling your pubes at the time?

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 16:43

Thank fuck this is anonymous!!!!!!........

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 16:44

Well that might have been a good idea as it would have saved trimming them!

Marthasmama · 28/01/2009 16:44

I once burnt my lady parts straightening my pubes with a curling iron. I claimed that I had been curling my hair just after the bath and dropped them. You are the only ones who know I was in fact, taming my pubes.......

HecateQueenOfGhosts · 28/01/2009 16:45

I fart and blame the kids

VinegarTits · 28/01/2009 16:45

PMSL at straightening your pubes

TheInvisibleManDidIt · 28/01/2009 16:48

Really intrigued as to why you would want to straighten your pubes!

DaphneMoon · 28/01/2009 16:49

Why did you want to straighten them, I thought the whole reason they are curly is so that they don't hang down!

Desiderata · 28/01/2009 16:51

Once you get past forty, your pubes get straighter anyway. I cannot think of a rational evolutionary reason for this.
