Stuff you think must happen to other people - but can't risk asking?

Anyone else have stuff happen to you that must happen to others.

But you can't really ask because what if they say "NO! How weird!" And then you can never talk to that person again. Wink

So I'm bringing it to the anonymity of Mumsnet.

I'd love to hear other peoples. And will start off.

  • whenever I wash my hair in the shower (I have long hair) loose hairs wash down my back and end up in my bum crack. End of my shower I have to check there's no hair left.

I can't be alone in this grossness! (Or can I)

@misisam Yesss this is called shooty bum pain haha

Ileflottante · 03/02/2021 18:50

@sqirrelfriends

Does anyone else get an achey shooting pain their legs when they're scared, or scared for someone else? I get it a lot when I get scared of heights or watching DS trying to hurtle himself off things.

I've never met another person who has it, I must be weird. Grin

Do you get it when you see people fall, like on You’ve Been Framed?

I get it too. Apparently it’s ‘hyper empathy’.

KisstheTeapot14 · 03/02/2021 18:51

Yes to tonsil stones. I'd forgotten about those!

Yes to discharge bleaches knickers @whitershadeofpale

sqirrelfriends · 03/02/2021 18:53

@Ileflottante yes! Exactly like that. And also those crazy YouTube videos of people casually jumping about on tall buildings. 😱

It's good to have a name for it, I'm off to google!

@Luckyelephant1

When I have a wee I touch (the lightest possible) the small of my back above my bum crack- - it's starts the wee off, and sometimes help get the last bit out. I've done it since a small child

Omg yes! Genuinely thought I was a weirdo for this. It really helps though especially as I'm prone to UTIs and it helps me fully empty my bladder.

Yes to hair in bum crack... And I have a flat arse as well!

My period farts and poos are vile but satisfying... And yes I also get the fanny ache it's like my vag is trying to turn itself inside out.

Anyone ever fart (a loud gassy one) and feel like it's come out of their vagina as well? It seems to happen when I'm wearing tight trousers so maybe the fart redirects itself 🤷‍♀️

Oh another one... I can only have an intense clit orgasm if my legs are straight and really tensed. If my legs are bent it's piddly or nonexistent. Please say this is a thing....

Tense legs to orgasm - yes. Apparently it's due to muscles putting pressure on the non-visible bits of the clitoris. I get better orgasms sitting up than lying down for this reason. (I am so glad I name changed for this thread).
B33Fr33 · 03/02/2021 18:59

When I pluck my eyebrows I sneeze, If I stretch my toes mid orgasm it lasts twice as long BUT sometimes if I stretch my toes I get cramp in my calf Confused

FluffyBlankie · 03/02/2021 19:05

Compelled to post, really thought I was super weird so it’s validating that others experience the same things.

Yes to pierced ear hole chud, javelin arse, arse crack hair and period shits.

Re feeling in tummy seeing something nasty - I also get this when on a deadline and needing to concentrate, my lower tummy starts really tingling to the point I have to move around to make it go away.

Right eyebrow gets scaly skin, can literally peel large sections. Each eyebrow grows one weird super thick hair. Have to pluck otherwise it gets sore. Past few years chin hair shocking and chin/jaw spots that are pretty much mini baby bels which on occasion get stuck and turn into a nasty spots. Yes to random super long white hair on right cheek in line with bottom of nose. Yes to more hairy bosoms (nearly 50 now)

No to poops in labour, had good clear out beforehand but when breastfeeding the let down caused a mini orgasm!

Day dreaming - either historic occurrences or new ones that sometimes come true. Been known to think of a plane crash and the next day one will be in the news.

Still get odd c section scar itching 17 years later. Buzzing sensation on the skull, like a small electric needle has gone in. I find those a little scary.

And to a PP who mentioned Dr Pimple Popper, literally waste so much time watching spot videos Shock

Cindy974 · 03/02/2021 19:10

Sometimes when I fart the bubbles ripple through my vagina lips and I sometimes have to change position to pop the bubble

AccidentallyRunToWindsor · 03/02/2021 19:13

Yes the the fart rippling through the fandango lips.

Does anyone else get pins and needles in one half of the bum/fanny region? If I sit on the edge of the bath (usually to let the hair removing cream do it's thing on the Tash) when I stand up I have pins and needles. It's not altogether unpleasant

The falling one is a specifically it’s a subset of hyper empathy relating to pain, called (funnily enough) pain empathy Smile

My legs get agonising spasms when I see people fall and especially when they land on their necks. 😭

ChampagneCommunist · 03/02/2021 19:14

@mamaatthegym Me too! Nervous diarrhoea!

Thighdentitycrisis · 03/02/2021 19:16

I had a farmyard labour

I’d been anemic and on iron tablets which make you constipated, until I needed to make way for the baby

Midwives asked me how long it had been ...
“hmmm several days” was my reply
They told me to get on my knees and push and they caught it, remarking it was certainly more than a few days worth!

NoddyMcPintsAlot · 03/02/2021 19:21

On the bum crack hair, only happened me once. Found this really long hair and as I pulled it out it went right up inside my bum, it was like cheese wire and sqeaked as I pulled it out. It gave me a paper cut. I didn’t know WTF was going on. Never happened again.

Flibbitygibbit · 03/02/2021 19:21

I shower every single day, with soap and face wash. I wash behind my ears every single day. Every single day behind my ears stinks 😱😱😱

Londonisburningg · 03/02/2021 19:22

Anyone get farts somehow trapped between your vulva?? It’s like a bubble, then you do a wiggle and it releases

Or when you eat bread a bit too quickly and get this weird sensation in your throat/chest??

Also the satisfaction of looking at a tissue after blowing your nose and seeing all the gunk has come out/the colour of it??

No? Just me?😳😂

LongDistanceClaret · 03/02/2021 19:28

Does anyone find they have a better singing voice when they have their period?

RapunzelHadExtensions · 03/02/2021 19:29

@Londonisburningg not just you, I get this too. Like as PP's have said like you need to pop the bubble Blush

Does anyone have a whole spray of spit fly out when they yawn?? Sometimes I'll be reading and if I yawn I spray the page with spit!!!

Confusedandshaken · 03/02/2021 19:29

@NanuNanuM

Sometimes I remember an event from the past and I physically inhale with the shame of it. Nothing bad, just mortifying things where I was a knob. They bring me physical pain.

I do this!!! And sometimes I talk out loud as if it distracts the thoughts

Oh yes. Quite random memories out of the blue just make me visibly wince and groan out loud. I have been such an arse so many times!

Yes to the orgasm. And if I relax and retense after the orgasm has passed I can reactivate the orgasm. I can do that 2 or 3 times. It's only really useful when I'm masturbating though.
Angliski · 03/02/2021 19:35

@Catra I get the fuzzy neck feeling. It’s like bubbles ina. Coke bottle fizzing from near shoulders all way up to head. I fractured my neck once and that was the first time I felt it.

Yes to belly button phobia. I was cured of it by a shaman! And now I can touch it without being grossed lit. It used to get infected and leaky because I didn’t want to clean it.

I didn’t poo during birth but dh did have a sieve poised and ready!

I get the same chin hair over and over again. I shout ‘neglect, neglect’ at my husband as it is his job to patrol my chin. I am convinced there is a bobbin in there that just periodically unravels.

HungryHippo20 · 03/02/2021 19:35

@Dallerup

I have EXACTLY this problem. Beware though, I now have a pilonidal cyst and I'm convinced it's because of the hair wash hair
Was just going to add the same comment I had this issue with pilonidal cyst years ago from a hair in my bum crack!!!! Nightmare 3 months of a packed wound......couldn't sit down! Have since had a few other cysts, damn those hairs!
BaggoMcoys · 03/02/2021 19:37

Yes to a lot of these. Weirdly I have always enjoyed the feeling of pulling a long hair out of my bum crack Blush

I also enjoy popping a really satisfying spot - I never get good ones like this anymore. I still get spots, but not ones that feel good to squeeze. And that feeling when something is really stubbornly stuck between my teeth - the feeling I enjoy is when I remove it with a toothpick or something. It is like I've achieved something and I immediately wish I had more bits of food stuck between my teeth, just so I can enjoy the feeling of getting them out. I think that might be weird of me.

Some poos feel really satisfying to me as well. I should have name changed for this.

This never happened to me before I had dd, but since I had her whenever I get out of the bath, a load of water falls out of my vagina soon after. I thought I might be pissing myself at first. I don't understand why it happens now, according to my ex when we were still a couple, everything down their felt the same to him, I'm not really... Loose. So I can't understand this water thing.

I remember the first occasion that I had javelin arse. I was right outside my secondary school when it struck. I think I was about 15 years old. I didn't know what it was but it was immensely painful. It happened two or three times on that occasion, then went away. Since then I've had it on and off and assume it's connected to my period.

Msgiggles30 · 03/02/2021 19:41

Yes to practically all this 😂. Lots of bum talk so ile go for it... does anyone ever get a red bum crack?Blush at the top lol

Marmighty · 03/02/2021 19:42

Orgasm while breast feeding. Only in the early days though. Generally I find it difficult to orgasm at all.

Bopahula · 03/02/2021 19:45

Cobra spit or gleeking as it's called, I can do on command. My 7 year old DD is amazed by this. (Gleeking is apparently awesome and rare to do according to any number of YouTube vids).

I think I did it by accident as a teen and then spent forever trying to do it. I now can, whenever DD demands a demo.
