I've just found this little corner of disgusting heaven and it reminded me of this...
About ten years ago my mum was itching her lower stomach and asked if I would have a look to see if there were any spots/rashes. I had a look and there was a black dot that looked just like a blackhead so I started squeezing it for her as she couldn't see it herself. It wasn't coming out so I was fiddling about and it came out a bit, it looked odd so I pulled it. It kept coming and coming and coming... it was a long black thread Confused She looked shocked and said "My last operation there was 20 years ago" ShockShe'd always had a bit of soreness there but didn't think much of it.. It looked as good as new when I pulled it out Grin
It was a very sporny moment. Has anyone else pulled anything unexpected out of anywhere?

I can't even tell you how jealous of you all I am Envy

I'm a proper sporner but a total lurker but this thread made me want to delurk to share.
Years ago husband was complaining of a sore big toe and when I looked at the underneath of it, it was a mass of green pus. He's a wimp so wouldn't let me touch it at first so I persuaded him to soak it to soften the skin and the I squeezed and a load of pus came out followed by a thin piece of metal. It was amazing! And I still remember it fondly☺

A few months ago I was lying on the bed itching my c section scar when I felt a little lump in it so I gave it a good squeeze and lumps of hard white stuff came out it. I managed to get some more out of it a week later too so there is hope that it'll refill again one day!

Upyourdaisy · 16/03/2017 12:05

user1471443504 holes that refill and give up the goods at least once a month are the best kind of holes! 😂

I was hit by a car over 10 years ago and was in a bit of a state.

Every so often I will develop a sore lump, last one on my elbow, and when prodded a shard of glass comes out. Makes me feel queasy but happy Smile.

throughgrittedteeth · 27/03/2017 13:53

Rabid that's beautiful. Envy I don't want to be hot by a car but these things never happen to me.
I don't know about the rest of you but spots etc never last long on me so don't have the time to build into something much more beautiful...

magicstar1 · 27/03/2017 14:02

I had a spot on my shin once which I picked at...I noticed a tiny hair so got the tweezers out, and pulled out a hair about 3 inches long. I still remember the feeling of it being pulled deep within my leg Grin
My best one was feeling a lump under my skin on my inside upper arm..bigger than a pea. I was worried for a bit, but one day on holiday I squeezed it and a sold round lump of gunk just popped right out! It was amazing, and I'm still sorry I didn't film it lol.

Watto1 · 27/03/2017 14:10

I had a pain in the ball of my foot. I had a good look (I was more flexible back then!) and saw what looked like an eyelash. I grabbed my tweezers and pulled. Out came a tiny feather! It must have come from one of my cushions.

olderthanyouthink · 27/03/2017 15:24

Those of you that have DPs that let you dig at them are so lucky! I hope my future DP will let me.

My ex bf asked me to help him with the ingrown hairs in his beard and being the lovely person I am very happily obliged. Love a good pick.

CMOTDibbler · 27/03/2017 15:34

DH slid down a hill, face first, off his bike aged 13. Completely smashed his nose, and 30 years on he still occasionally will get a pain in his nose, then eventually a head will come up and a small bit of bone is ejected

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 27/03/2017 17:26

user made me remember:

My DSis once had a painful swelling under her toe, but it looked only slightly red. Our DM made her bathe her foot in hot soapy water and then she had a look and a slight squeeze:
A piece of plastic about 1 cm x 1,5 cm like the corner of a box for a deck of cards came out of her toe together with something liquid and green
Can't remember the smell, though.

madmoon · 27/03/2017 17:29

I once had a lump on my boob which was red and hot , I squeezed it and it kept leaking nothing much else but just seemed to grow , went drs and it turned out it was a feather embedded ( they think from my bedding)

NoParticularPattern · 28/03/2017 20:36

I found one of those giant blackheads on DH last week. He'd just come downstairs to get me to check if he'd missed any whilst shaving and I spotted it. God I wish I'd filmed it- it was so wonderful and hard what came out of it. Properly made my day/week/year. In the same day I also said he had a spot on his cheek- was a huge long cheek hair that had grown the wrong way! Made me want to marry him and have his babies all over again haha!

Frouby · 28/03/2017 20:45

A pony stood on my toe years ago. My big toe. Nail went black and I kept picking at it. Eventually got to the nail bed and it was a bit ouchy. Carried on picking and eventually popped the nail and a fuckton of green pus game out. And kept coming.

I occasionally have a pick around my c section scar. Had staples 12 years ago with dd and a couple went a bit iffy. Was worth the pain for the gunk that comes out of the holes.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 28/03/2017 20:51

Probably should name change for this nut here goes. Years ago I have a massive spot/boil on my back that left a hole. The hole fills up every so often. Every so often DH will ask if I want my back checking. It makes me so happy Grin

I've got a funny cyst too behind my ear. I found out about it when I gave birth for the first time and it really swelled up. Now it's good for a squeeze about every month. Wish it was more often.

ArriettyClock1 · 28/03/2017 20:56

I am so envious!

When we were young travellers on our gap yah, dh had about 50 massive verrucas on one foot. I used to cut them out with his Swiss Army Knife.

It didn't get rid of them, but it was immensely satisfying.

They all disappeared of their own volition about 6 months later.

Sallyswot1 · 28/03/2017 21:04

There are some great zit squeezing videos on YouTube!!

Lozza92 · 28/03/2017 21:30

New to this topic, but I'm so glad I found it I get so satisfied by a good pick/pop, sorry if it's been mentioned before but Dr pimple popper on you tube is very satisfying

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 28/03/2017 21:47

There are some great zit squeezing videos on YouTube!! you don't say Sally! Wink
Not very sporny, but my niece, like many young girls had quite furry arms-all blond fluff. But I noticed a thicker dark hair, so I gave it a tug and it kept coming. Really black, thick, straight and about 3inches long. Fuck knows where it was hiding in her little stick arm.

DanDanDanDanDan · 02/04/2017 22:28

I was struggling with a dodgy toe like posters above and my dad basically held me down and squeezed it.... a needle popped out!

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 02/04/2017 22:57

I had a really sore eye once, went from fine to red and swollen in about an hour. Had a look in the mirror and kept pulling at the eyelid to see if I had anything in there, felt a bit of a bump and pushed it up and an enormous hard white lump popped out. No idea what it was.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 03/04/2017 22:36

God, save me sporners! I'm on a residential trip and our driver has got clusters of pores of wiener all over his face. I'm sitting on my hands.

mineofuselessinformation · 03/04/2017 22:49

In the spirit of this thread, or not, quite depending how you look at it:-
I had an operation for a deviated septum many years ago. I was given no aftercare instructions (in fact I ended back up in hospital on a drip due to an infection), but anyhoo...

Some time after the operation, I noticed a 'thread' hanging in one of my nostrils. I decided to have a pull at it. It kept going, but having committed, I kept going too, stupidly thinking it must come to an end soon... How wrong was I.
When I got to the end, it was at least eight inches long! I think it explains why the operation wasn't a total success. Blush

sweetkitty · 03/04/2017 22:52

DH has a lovely blackhead on his nose right now, it stares at me.

He won't let me squeeze it, should I LTB?

throughgrittedteeth · 03/04/2017 22:58

Yes sweet. What a selfish man you have married.
Get it when he's asleep

TheHiphopopotamus · 03/04/2017 23:04

A dog bit me once and my wrist around the bite swelled up and went a bit numb.

DH had a look at it after a few days and said that's not right, gave it a squeeze and a huge perfectly formed, solid ball of pus popped out along with a couple of smaller ones. Bunged some antiseptic cream in the gaping wound and (luckily) it just healed up.

We still talk about it 15 years later. I wish it had been in the days of camera phones.
