35 Disturbing Things People Were Actually Doing Before Learning How Bad They Were

Sitting down when I went to the loo was a revelation to me. As a man I used to stand up and the mess would get me into so much trouble. Now I sit down and have stopped pooping on the bathroom floor!

Why are little boys not taught to sit down to pee? Is it cultural or is there some physiological reason? It's a real question, I'm not trying to be despective. I've asked before, but the answer was always "men don't sit down to pee".

As someone who has been called a "republican" on here many times (I am not). I can confirm. Just sit down at home. You're not getting it all in there bro.

FFS....here's the deal. When you flush the toilet, and it's full of human waste, it causes microscopic water particles to spray into the air, and get all over everything! That's why toilets have lids, they're supposed to be closed BEFORE YOU FLUSH. Even when they're closed, that little gap between the edge of the bowl and the bottom of the seat, and the top of the seat and bottom of the lid, still allow some nastiness to escape, but it greatly limits the area of exposure (and lessens the amount of fecal matter that ends up on your toothbrush) That's the issue "gentlemen" and it's one that many women are responsible for perpetuating.

I think there's a big difference between peeing in a toilet while standing up, and peeing in a urinal while standing up too.

There are two types of people in this world, people who pick their nose and liars.

No probs when you do that privately.

I think everyone does this to some extent.

People who say they never pick their nose are lying.

What would even be better is if you also washed your hands beforehand. That way you do not introduce who know WHAT nasty a*s bugs into your nose. Otherwise- pick away!

What's funny is, we might think this is gross, but we all eat insects in some form constantly. The red dye in some food coloring is made from bugs. If you pick a berry and eat it without washing it, you've most likely ate a few.

what the actual fvck

🤢🤢🤮

Hahaha - Nowhere near as nutty and crunch and delicious - this is GOLD!

That is absolutely trifling

This always astounds me because why did people think the lid on the toilet was there in the first place

the fact that the whole world isn't dying from disease after flushing shows it is perfectly fine to flush without closing the lid.

I remember going on a break away with my sister, and I called to her from somewhere in the house asking what she was doing (as in, where are you, come on we need to go) and she replied that she is on the toilet (doing a poo) and I ran to down the hall shouting "nooo my toothbrush is in there!!!" It was just on the counter, all open and exposed. Eew.😕

I read if you don't close the lid you'll breath in whatever the last 15 people had who used the toilet. At home I don't care but any public toilet I get freaked out when it has no lid.

Keeping the lid closed takes care of the seat up/seat down conflict between the genders. I started putting the lid down after seeing a Mythbusters episode. I also moved the bath towel storage out of range of the throne because guests.

I wish I could say this is limited to men. People think I'm being "extra" when I use paper towels to grab bathroom door handles after I've washed my hands, but I once saw a lady walk out of the stall, spend a few minutes fluffing her hair, and then walk out without a whisper of hand washing. Blech.

I've watched women walk out of public restrooms without washing their hands... I think it's just people in general want to get sick. I never trust anything other people touch for this reason

I wash my hands whenever there's a tad of a sound reason. Can't stand people using any kind of toilet, urinal, whatever - wash your damned hands! Don't touch communal stuff unless you did. You're gross otherwise.

When I was a little boy, my daddy taught me how to pee without pissing on my hands. 😉

You're hand are probably so dirty from everything you've touched, it would be better to wash your hands before you touch your much cleaner pee pee.

A bidet is the answer.

I personally wipe left to right
