Secret (or not-so-secret) Gross (not-so-gross) Habits You May or May Not Have (Page 2)

I have this pair of mini needle nose pliers that work awesome. I can grab a ridiculous amount of hair in one shot. Hurts like hell but I can clear my nose in three or four pulls. I used to keep them in my car and pluck while on long drives as something to do. Then one time I didn't realize I had grabbed a whole bunch of facial hair as well (winter is beard season). I almost drove off the road when I made that pull. Gave my self a bloody bald spot in my mustache as well.

- I drink from the OJ carton and put it back in the fridge. I don't get why my wife get's upset, I'm the only one who drinks OJ, why waste a glass?

- I have no time limit on food hitting the ground. It's all about where it lands.

I'm all for building up the immune system by taking in some germs...but dude...you complain about being sick recently.  Yeah...maybe you're immune system isn't bullet proof.

Bah.

Most colds and such come in through the eyes and nose. Eating weird things either gets you or it doesn't.  Food poisoning doesn't last for weeks!

Nom nom nom.

 

I did work with a woman that would go and microwave her popcorn, eat the popcorn, and than unfold the microwave popcorn bag and than lick the butter and salt on the bag in front of everyone as if we weren't there.

This made me spit out my coffee...

there are so many reasons i love bt and this thread is one of them.

nearly every day or at least every week there's a real howler and i've still got tears running down my face from this one.

it takes a lot to come up with something i haven't heard of, and ear wax and pets ... BWAH HA HA HA HA ...

You have pets, you should try it. It gives me goose bumps cause she breathes in my ear and it tickles.
Is it gross that I don't wipe off the ear buds after she licks them?

I did actually clean out the fridge last night. Go me!

well ... do you put the buds back in your ear after she licks them?

probably fine, esp kitty cats have real good enzymes in their saliva, like a cleaning agent, bonus

Completely agree with and do this too!
 

When I was a kid, I used to pick my nose and eat my boogers (up until Jr. High).  Serious.  Gross? Yes.

Colitis gets you over the fear of public toilets in a hurry...

i'll take your word for that!

How do you do triathlons? HIM at that? I can't even get through T2 of a sprint unless I've hit the porta's at least 1-2 times before the race.

- I sniff my kids' breath when I think they might be sick or getting sick.
- I look at my snot in the tissue to see color/etc. I have had sinus polyps, so my ENT asks for this info. BTW, triathlon training has drastically improved this situation.

i make sure that i have eaten decently the night before......
ive stood in the lines of the porto's before races and heard the carnage happening in those things, and i want no part of walking into someone elses "fallout".  if i feel like i may have to go deuce, i just glance at the porto jon and im instantly constipated.

definitely a nose-picker.
i look at the snot after i blow it into a kleenex.  
i often snot-rocket outside in public just because there's no tissue around - like walking in the parking lot to Target or something.
definitely a 5-to-10 second rule kind of girl.  


i have a picking-at-my-face habit, too.  zits, an errant hair, dry skin -- i get up close to a mirror: inspect, pick, pop.  it's relaxing.     

I like popping other people's zits even better.

Honey...I love you...but I think we're pretty even on that one.  We have contests on farting and belching usually if followed closely...the louder the better!  I think we're tied...he usually wins farting, I usually win belching.  ::pat self on back::

I DEFINITELY look at my snot...that's gross?!?!?  I also look at my poop....

I like popping zits too...mine, others....it doesn't matter.

I like to smell my bodily odors...itch butt, can't help it...gotta smell it.  Has anyone ever smelled their belly button gunk?? WOW! It's disgusting!!

TMI - TMI - TMI!!!

I can't help it. This kind of stuff makes me love you even more

Funny, no, I'm a pretty disgusting person but (so far) I've never sniffed anything but my ear wax. I have not, however, fed it to my pets (yet).

However, I will thoroughly sniff any part of other people's bodies, although maybe not their bodily exudates. (and of course, this depends on the person)

I wipe my amply-flowing snot onto my sleeve or glove during winter workouts and dog walks.

I pick my nose.  In private, of course.

Over the past month, when it's been cold and I haven't had to teach, I have found the daily shower to be somewhat optional.  Hair-washing is even less necessary.  (Alas, back to the classroom Monday!)

I don't even count peeing in the shower as gross anymore.  It's just the right thing to do.

I was going to put down something about body hair removal but then i realized this is a triathlon forum and thats not weird here at all... so all I am left with is nose hair pulling out, hates nose hair.

Nose picking
Shower peeing
Milk-carton drinking (only chocolate tho)
Not-necessarily-daily-showering (if I don't workout, I don't shower, usually... fortunately I work out almost every day)
Kleenex-peeking
TP peeking (gotta make sure I got it all!)
Toenail-picking/ripping - gotta be careful with that one.

And I'm sure there are others...

I bite/pick at my nails and cuticles and pick at my split ends.

All this and I pick zits.  I mean if you had a mound of puss anywhere else on your body anybody would tell you to drain it but for some reason if it's on your face it's a big no-no.
One time at a Clinique counter I told the gal I needed something for my black heads, she said, those are not black heads they are big pores.  I said No, they are blackheads.  She asked how I knew and I said 'when you squeeze them stuff comes out'  I thought she was going to pass out.

I have 3 placentas burried in my backyard, not really a habit but some would consider it gross and it is kind of secret in that we don't have signs or tell everyone.  LOL
