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

[IMissFrance]

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.

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)

@Bubbles1st yes. 44 and still sleep with childhood dog toy

[quote TaraR2020]@kirktonhouse how do you find water underground? [/quote]
With two lengths of L shaped wire hold the short bits loosely with the long bits pointing forward horizontal to the ground. They cross when you're over water.

You have to be careful to wash the hair out. I know someone who had the hair mat up and form a cyst in her bum crack which had to operated and packed. Apparently its common in people with long hair.

I knew there was a very good reason why I never wash my (long) hair in the shower. Always have washed it over the bath with a shower attachment.

I have read this entire thread and enjoyed it a lot - I feel a lot better about my oddnesses!
I will add:
Anyone get a stretchy/fizzy feeling in their bladder/vag region when they're changing a duvet? I assume it's a nerve thing as I stretch my arms out to shake the cover down the quilt.
Anyone get little filaments growing out of their face that look like glass? They're not sebaceous fils/blackheads. I think they're hairs, but weird.

Does anyone else feel a bit faint and dizzy before a bowel movement? Sometimes it's so bad I feel unsteady walking to the loo!

@MagicSummer I think that's a blood flow rush. I get it now and then.

That you love your partner very much and enjoy a decent sex life but cannot sleep in the same bed/room as them. DH sleeps downstairs and has done for about 3 years now. He snores and fidgets. I am a very light sleeper for whom disturbed sleep leads to depression. He also has to get up an hour before I do which invariably wakes me if we are in the same room. Strangely, we manage to share for a few days if staying away.

@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.

@sqirrelfriends this happens to me.

I can no longer watch You've Been Framed. Things I used to find hilarious are now painful.

Yes to bath water fanny thing
Yes to jabby bum pain
Yes to long hair in bum crack
Yes to sleep orgasms 😳

Yes to so many of these!
Yep Javelin arse
Yep to kaleidoscope orgasms
Yes to best orgasms with a full bladder
Yes to sleep orgasms
Yes to electric shock feels in my extremities (although I am epileptic so thought it was to do with that?)
Yes to doom nipples
YES YES YES to potato back! I am so so glad someone mentioned that! If I eat potato too quickly I get this really intense pain the middle of my back at the top. It only goes away with long slow breathes and sips of water!
Yes to worrying I’m a psychopath feeling “turned on” by horrible things even when I KNOW I feel the absolute opposite but feel it in my bits.
Yes to period poo/farts. I am lethal when I’m on, I remember doing one in Tesco and it was so vile a little girl started shrieking she could smell dog poo! I always get diarreah when I’m on not constipated.

Does anyone else do this thing where they sort of dare themselves to think about something really horrible? I tend to do it when dtd with dh and am about to climax I sort of think god wouldn’t it be awful if my mum suddenly popped into my head and then of course it happens and I lose my orgasm! It’s so bloody weird!

I didn’t poo in any of my 4 labours but fuck me I pissed like a racehorse in the last 3! I remember standing up with hands on the bed, a mat under my feet, swaying through horrific back to back contractions with piss coming out of me like yellow cable and moaning/shouting that I felt and smelt like cattle

I also get goosebumps when I’m too hot!

Sweaty vag chair marks - if it’s a warm day and I sit on a plastic chair, when I stand up there can be a triangular evaporation mark right under where my vag was. Try to cover it with a handbag or something..

Known on MN as minge mist

I don't think anyone's mentioned Exploding Head Syndrome. I've experienced it a few times - just as you're falling asleep it's as though a loud explosion happens inside your head.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_head_syndrome

@TheLuckiest

Also, does anyone just close up post-orgasm? I usually go for a wee or occasionally a poo and have to give it a few minutes as everything has just clenched shut & have to wait for it to relax again...

Yep!

Yes to so many of these. Haven't RTFT yet so not sure if mentioned but what about:
When you're stood up/walking and you sneeze and your legs buckle.
When you're eating strong cheese and one side of your jaw feels like it pulls a muscle.

This one is the bane of my life: if I have 'too much' foreplay and get too aroused then the small of my back starts to hurt, also my upper legs, so much so that I rarely ever get to finish, and then I can't get to sleep for a couple of hours either because my legs keep building up pain til I move them and it resets and starts again, usually around every 30-60 seconds 😩

I've just had a shower and checked and no hair in arse crack.

However I have just realised that I am lying back on the bed legs totally akimbo letting my bits air dry after an initial dry with a towel and when air dried will carry on and dress as normal but always a good 5 minutes just letting it all hang out

Yes. DH and I have a fantastic marriage and sex life but sleep in separate beds. Same with some of my friends, and my parents.

Yes to javelin arse. Yes to pooing in childbirth. Yes to fanny fear. I feel like I'm going to be sick a lot before I sneeze. Also, if I'm concentrating on something I can get really aroused for no reason and often have to get up and move about- like a rush of energy. Often feel like I've just orgasmed after having a big pooh.. and my 3rd birth was pretty orgasmic

Oh, and since I can remember, when I'm falling asleep, I am putting pressure on my bag with my hand. I've tried not to do it and it seems to happen unconsciously

Vag not bag!

@Bobbitybobbins yeah I sniff my underwear quite often. Almost instinctively.

And my own armpits (although that's more that I'm checking I don't smell bad)

Neither thing do I find gross to myself. But it's shameful to admit.

Yet here I am watching one dog with his nose so far up the other ones arse that I can barely see its face. We're all animals after all.

Sometimes when I grab the duvet to pull it up I accidentally grab a nipple too. It hurts

Does the sandman exist in English folklore? I have only ever heard him mentioned in a Metallica song.

Yes, but I believe it was a German import.

It's from E.T.A. Hoffman's short story 'The Sandman' - interestingly enough the same story Freud adopted for his 1919 essay 'The Uncanny'. Freud being Freud, he immediately equated fear of the loss of eyes with the castration complex.

The Hoffman piece was another one of those Gothic stories capable of supernatural or psychological explanation.

Big fan of the black album here!

The underarms of my woolly jumpers collect hair... I lift up my arms and pull out big tangled hairballs. I have long hair but have never met anyone who seems to have this problem...

This happens to me too! I have to check my woolly jumpers and de hair them.

@shesasquirter. I have yet to meet anyone who admits it !! Only started 2 years ago . I felt an odd feeling and dh kept telling me to relax And out it flew. Actually thought I had pissed myself🤣 Have no control so can’t do it on command .

@Picklesbaby
I'll never admit it in real life! My husband sees it as a direct indicator of how good he is in bed It annoys me because I always wonder if I've peed myself and it gets everywhere.

YY to so many of these! Vibrating eyelids, hair in my butt crack, stabby arse, those long black hairs that sprout overnight on my neck, farts that get "stuck", hair balls underneath my armpits on woolly jumpers/coats...!

I have to pee before I go to sleep. Like it has to be the very last thing I do. If I get into bed and am interrupted before I go to sleep (like if I get a text or DP asks about something), I have to go pee again before I sleep. I've never been sure if it's truly psychological or not.

I also get extreme restless legs, like bugs crawling underneath my skin. It's at it's worst on aeroplanes. I am so jealous of people who can sleep on flights - I spend the whole time trying not to pull my legs off.

My nose also makes a weird popping noise before I go to sleep. It has nothing to do with how I'm breathing - it happens at any time on the inhale/exhale, but it's like every 4-5 seconds and it's loud enough for DP to hear.

I also get the stabby arse pains in my armpit!
