Manky rancid grubby feckless squalid pig man picked his EARS with my kirby grips and I know this because I just had one in my MOUTH while I was pinning my hair up before my bath.

Insert dry heaving noises of your choice.

Of all his revolting guttersnipe habits, this is the one that's going to cost him his life.

Great thread title though. Hats off to you for that one

AnyFucker · 21/04/2009 19:04

the dirrrty bastard

Meglet · 21/04/2009 19:05

Yuck .

Auntylulu · 21/04/2009 19:05

oh god, i am so sorry, but i have sprayed my keyboard with coffee reading your thread title

suggest you strain his next bowl of soup through your underwear

shinyshoes · 21/04/2009 19:06

I do revolting stuff like this

snigger · 21/04/2009 19:11

The memory of that taste, and the sudden realisation, is never going to leave me.

We do have cotton buds, why does he insist on soiling my hair accessories?

My underwear is meadow-fresh, Aunty Lulu, where's the penance in that

But there's nothing like a kirby grip for getting wax out, is there?

FigmentOfYourImagination · 21/04/2009 19:15

when I was a spotty teen I used to get blackheads in my ears . My Mum used to love digging them out with the curly bit of a kirby grip.

Thankfully we have both moved on since those days

YanknCock · 21/04/2009 19:30

DH does this, the dirty fucker. It's one of the few things that I still screech at him over.

nickytwotimes · 21/04/2009 19:31

OOh, I do that too.
TO be fair though, I use my own kirby grips as dh doesn't tend to use them, what with being a baldy.

nickytwotimes · 21/04/2009 19:32

And my Dad did it.

He had his own special kirby that was kept in a wee dish by his armchair.

I remember finding it after his death and being simultaneously revolted, sad and amused.

geordieminx · 21/04/2009 19:35

I remember once seeing the man formly known as my father scratting around in his ears with a car key, inspecting the bounty and then wiping it on his jeans.... Boak

I'm so pleased I havent seen him in 10 years, my world is faaaaaaaaar nicer place

DuffyFluckling · 21/04/2009 19:46

Another thing that is good for earwax is the lid of a bic. The pointy bit.

YanknCock · 21/04/2009 19:58

Gah, DH does the car key thing too! Honestly, the man will stick anything in his ears. He's got some issue with wax buildup and his ears itch inside, so he's forever looking for scratching implements.

YanknCock · 21/04/2009 19:59

And the pen caps. Are you all picturing my house covered in ear wax?

Cadmum · 21/04/2009 20:10

I had to google kirby grips (because I am Canadian and sometimes we use American lingo...)

I was surprised to find this image with the following suggestion: www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?p=6302510

Maybe your DH is onto something?

(GRIMMMMMMM! is what I am actually thinking. I am sorry that you are married to a manky rancid grubby feckless squalid pig man who would pick his EARS with your kirby grips) Change the locks?

snigger · 21/04/2009 20:12

YanknCock relaxing at her gaff

See, I can laugh about it.

snigger · 21/04/2009 20:15

Cadmum, I am ... at a loss.

And a little disturbed.

And changing the locks.

I am not canadian and I had to google kirby grips too. I thought Kirby was near scarborough. Initially thought perhaps a kirby grip was something you use to hold hold hot kendal mint cake (geography is shit therefore had to look up where scarborough is and Kendal.) Hot minty cakey ear wax image came to mind. And now I'm missing eastenders

YanknCock · 21/04/2009 20:18

@snigger

Cadmum, truly scary. It's a warning to all women to hide their kirby grips!

picmaestress · 21/04/2009 20:52

I think I'm going to be sick. God, just for once, I'm really glad I'm single.

I love the fact that this thread is under "Relationships"

Tn0g · 24/04/2009 16:58

That's awful, but not as awful as me catching my dh scrubbing at the loo seat with MY toothbrush.

sweetcat · 24/04/2009 17:16

Jeez, that's disgusting.

DD asked for my tweezers the other day and when I asked why (she's 9) she said Daddy lets me clean my toenails with them.

I was speechless, which doesn't happen often. Went straight to the chemists for new ones I can tell you!
