He scratches his balls everytime he makes a phone call and when he's done he sniffs his fingers.

but I love him.

Seashell71 · 24/05/2008 16:52

Ok, here goes... an ex used to put a hand down his pants before breaking wind, followed by having a good sniff at the hand afterwards. He thought I didn't notice that.. needless to say I left him.. but the gross memory still haunts me sometimes... yuk!!!

My Dh scratches, he scratches and digs at his private area and if its after a hard day at work the smell is not pleasent!! We call it scratch and sniff!! Oh and if thats not making you vomit then the fact that i have caught him snffing his fingers after a good scratch will probably do it!

((just realised i porbably shouldnt have typed this BUT i defy anyone to have a worse habit than that!)

bonkerz · 24/05/2008 16:54

agh NBG you beat me too it!

Dh normally points out that its complicated down there too!!

Nbg · 24/05/2008 16:54

We should start a club bonkerz.

bonkerz · 24/05/2008 16:58

I could seriously NEVER be with anyone so gross... [puke]

bonkerz · 24/05/2008 17:31

he is gross and TBh im finding him unbearable today!

SheWillBeLoved · 24/05/2008 17:34

He forces farts out for the fun of it, so hard that he's had to quickly run to the toilet a few times

Makes me sick - he eats the same as me and mine sure don't smell like that!

ThingOne · 24/05/2008 17:35

snoring. loudly.

chocolatespiders · 24/05/2008 17:35

quite liking this thread and for once i am actually quite pleased to be single

TheMoistWorldOfSeptimusQuench · 24/05/2008 17:48

So many

Blow his nose into his hand. Then puts the results into his pockets

Cleans his teeth about once every other day.

Yet he is also OCD and has some really bizarre hygiene rituals and standards

TheMoistWorldOfSeptimusQuench · 24/05/2008 17:49

SWBL - my ex used to do that. Ruined a couple of pairs of white grundies [boak emoticon]

I have exchanged one scuzzbag for another...

Seashell71 · 24/05/2008 17:49

My dh sometimes pokes in his nose with a thumb and then sticks the thumb in his mouht for a second making a sucking noise. I'm going off snogging him because of this

WinkyWinkola · 24/05/2008 19:03

Incessant farting. It's foul.

Sniffing really hard and swallowing.

It's quite hard to get beyond that and find him attractive sometimes. It's only these two habits that really really put me off him.

hls · 24/05/2008 22:08

nose picking and rolling it up and dropping it on the floor-and thinking I can't see him doing it.

jenwa · 24/05/2008 22:24

TheMoistWorldOfSeptimusQuench - that made me heave, blowing nose in hand, thats sooooo gross!!!!!!!

my DH picks his nose and when he is driving wipes it on his sock and thinks I dont notice. If I watch him picking her keepis it in his fingers rolling it as he is driving and when he thinks I am not looking slides his hand down to his sock!!!!! He always picks his nose and more when he is driving!

FAWKEOFF · 25/05/2008 00:53

dp spits on the floor!!!!! effing disgusting and he slurps everything it is soooo annoying....he sticks things up his nose to make himself sneeze...he blows spit bubbles...he picks his nose and puts it in his mouth then spits it out

micci25 · 25/05/2008 00:55

constant finger up his nose regardless of wether anyone is watching or not!! even dd2 who is only 11 months has clocked onto this nd is often seen with her finger up hers too !!!

My ex-h used to go to the gym and instead of a shower afterwards, used to wipe the sweat off with a towel, and then use the same towel again the next day aswell.
He used to pick his nose and flick it across the room.
