Gross habits

66Mustang

I was wondering if just for fun anyone cared to share disgusting things that either they do or know someone who does

I have a family member, now left home, who used to do something really gross. If anyone knows how footballers/athletes sometimes blow their nose without a tissue, by putting a finger over one nostril then breathing out really hard to force the contents of the other nostril onto the ground...my relative used to do that when having a shower, but for some reason the ejected contents of his nose didn't go down to the ground and into the plughole, it landed on the glass shower screen. Not many things make me retch but going into the shower and seeing a dried-on bogey made me feel sick and I'd refuse to use the bathroom

Can anyone beat that?????

I agree @66Mustang Gross  I have a relative that eats with their mouth open it really turns my stomach.

I'm not going to mention me or any family members, but one of the things I find most disgusting probably is people not washing their hands after using the bathroom.

I actually see it less now since Covid, but when it happens it just makes my skin crawl.

I used to REALLY hate that and it is one of the reasons my OCD affected me so much (and still does a bit)!!!!!

I once realised it doesn't really make a difference with how "clean" a person looks either, the smartest people can be the dirtiest

I remember going to a low-end supermarket in a rough town and noticing everyone wash their hands, then a bit later when I was at the airport I saw a lot of quite well-dressed people not washing their hands but even using the sink to mess with their hair (with their dirty hands)!!!!

Oh yeah, "looking dirty" is much different to actually being unclean. We discovered a long time ago that you can't see bacteria and germs!
