Over the course of thousands of years, our hygiene habits have improved to suppress outbreaks of diseases and protect our health. However, a handful of them somehow survived and have become quite the norm, despite being pretty gross

The more pessimistic side of this..."you're poor now, but your reward waits in heaven," messaging allowed religion to keep people mired in poverty and economic status quo for thousands of years. I don't care about how hard it is for a rich man to get into a fictional paradise in death, I care about taxing the s**t out of them in life.

My wife and I travel through the local rich neighborhoods and play the game of guessing what evil stuff they have done to afford their mansions.

The redditor who started this thread was inspired to spark this discussion online when their partner noticed something gross they did by accident.

"I sneezed and wiped some snot on my sleeve, my wife found it disgusting and I thought it was normal," they share.

Fortunately, the Reddit user tells us that this was the only instance that their habits were found to be gross by others.

When it comes to their own tolerance for gross things, they say that not much phases them. "I’m pretty hard to gross out."

    Exploitation, that's what it is. The kid should be able to say no when they are old enough instead of being stuck having a camera shoved in their face and having their most embarrassing moments filmed and viewed on the internet . Can a kid report it to CPS that they are being forced against their will to do this? Just asking

    The reason there are old laws on the books making public spitting illegal is that it’s a bodily fluid, and therefore can carry disease. That’s something we should all be paying attention to now, especially after COVID.

    No one is safe from other people’s questionable habits, especially not in the office. Online printing company Instantprint surveyed 1,000 UK employees to uncover the hidden truth about coworkers grossest habits.

    It was found that more than 5% of Brits admitted to cleaning their computers or work areas yearly or never at all. Meanwhile, 1 in 10 employees never wash their mug, water bottle, or glassware when enjoying a beverage of their choice. Either they have an office cleaner who does it for them, or they feel content being surrounded by some serious crumbs, dust, stains, and bacteria.

    Hand sanitizer is only supposed to be used on physically clean hands. It kills germs, it doesn't wash actual dirt off your hands. If you have physical dirt (and you know *what* kind of dirt it is after using the toilet!)on your hands, the only thing that rubbing hand sanitizer on your hands will do, is spread the dirt evenly all over your hands. If you have sensitive skin then use a moisturiser after washing.

    I used to work with someone who washed her hands *before* (but not after) using the facilities, as they "felt gross" from working at her desk. Another did the "get the fingertips wet and then immediately dry them off" method after urinating, because "they don't really get dirty" from just wiping after peeing. As if there isn't bacteria/fecal material on the handle of the toilet, the back of the door, etc etc

I'm glad this job was a place I wore gloves and sanitized often (as well as actually freaking washed my hands!!!) I just felt it was worth mentioning.

    The clinical diagnosis for not being able to tolerate chewing sounds is called misophonia; it's a condition where specific sounds, like chewing, can trigger strong negative emotional reactions like anger, annoyance, or anxiety in an individual, often causing them to feel overwhelmed or distressed by the sound.

I realized I got in the habit because my previous coworker ate with her mouth open in the most disgusting, sloppy, noisy way possible.. even talking with a mouthful of food. If I didn't move far away as I could (without leaving the classroom) I could not eat as it was so unappetizing... 🤢

    Only 16% of respondents revealed that they wash their hands regularly at the office, and a whopping 19% confessed to rinsing them solely after using the bathroom. It’s worth being cautious about who you shake hands with!

    When it comes to other gross workplace habits, almost a quarter admitted to taking off their shoes at work. And over 30% of Brits confessed to eating something from the back of the fridge that was way past its use-by date.

They will feel betrayed, used and disrespected (because they are). And they'll leave. Good luck with training new people for highly skilled positions.

    In the government office I worked for, we were losing employees in the mid-salary range of a particular classification because positions in other departments were paying better. We begged HR to raise salaries for all of these folks to help retention. HR made us go through a lengthy job study but only ended up raising the starting salary and the top salary. Nothing for the people in the mid-range. Retention went down the tubes when employees that had worked there for 5+ years found out they were making just pennies more than new hires.

    If you are unable to pay your senior employees the same, or more than, the going market rate for a new employee, then you do not have a very good business plan. Your profit is coming at the expense of the people who make your business possible.

    "Unkept" is actually a legitimate, real word. It means pretty much the same as "unkempt", except "unkempt" is generally used to refer to a person or a person's appearance specifically. "Unkept" can be used for everything, from a lawn ("His lawn had an unkept appearance") to a cat ("Preacher needed to be brushed as his black-and-white fur was very unkept") to concepts ("It was an unkept promise") to, in this case, beards.

You have an index finger, You take that single grain of glorious white rice and begin to rub it between your thumb and index finger. Not too hard, you need to work it just right. Just slowly rub in there. Check it, oh, every thirty seconds or so. You should get a nice orb of that rice, which has now turned a nice shade of gray.

    30 People Share Disgusting Things People Don’t Realize Are Very Gross Maybe not “normal” but I am repulsed by the smell created by clothing not properly drying. The smell is on clothing that sat in the washer machine too long. Or dish towels and bathroom towels that dried without being spread out.

    I smell it on people from down the isle in stores. And don’t get me started on drying my hands in someone’s bathroom and finding out the smell is lingering on my hands now.

    Mildew! I hate that smell too. It sometimes feels almost impossible to get rid of it from clothing. I've accidentally forgotten a load of laundry in the washer overnight before, and ugh, you've got to re-wash it, generally with some white vinegar, and even then you might not get all the mildew-smell out.

    If you have access to tea tree oil it really helps. We had a long rainy period so my clothes weren't drying properly, I'd have to re-wash to get the mildew out and adding a splash of tea tree to the white vinegar makes a huge difference.

    I generally can't use a lot of dish rags since they stink! People don't rinse them properly and then they don't wring them out and let them dry properly. Not to ment they are often used too long to begin with. They should be switched out and washed often.

    After the recent pandemic, we should be more mindful of this. It’s the reason those old laws against spitting in public were created. Spit is a bodily fluid, and can carry and spread disease when people are exposed to it—-and they don’t have to touch it to be exposed. Back in the day the concern was for the spread of tuberculosis. Now it could be anything, like a new strain of COVID. A lot of old laws aren’t really to be laughed at. The people who created them often had a very good reason, usually a threat to public health, to enact them.

    I use one of those net-ball-scrubby things (I think they're made of nylon?) and I literally wash it after I finish washing the dishes with it XD It gets a regular soak in vinegar as well, and I switch to a new one every other week. I cannot STAND when I look at a scrubby or a sponge and SEE bits of food stuck to it. I use a regular scrubbing-side dish sponge for washing my pets' dishes and bowls, but that bad boy ALSO gets washed and rinsed after use, and I microwave it to sanitize it every day. And I replace it every other week. I can handle a lot of gross things (I have four pets, and they produce a variety of bodily substances from every orifice) but food residue on sponges/dish-cleaning tools just squicks me out. I'm with OP on this one.

    1 year ago (edited) Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Gloves? Just to handle a dog poop bag? The whole point of poop-bags is that you turn the bag inside-out on your hand and use it to pick up the poop, then turn the bag right-side out with your other hand (poop neatly contained inside) and tie it up and toss it. Putting on a pair of gloves every single time one of my dogs poops would mean I would go through several pairs of gloves in a day. XD Seems wasteful. I wash my hands after I pick up the poop, of course, even though (theoretically) it never comes into contact with my hands directly. EDIT: I'm an idiot. I live in SoCal where it's never really "cold", so I forgot that mittens/wooly gloves exist. >_< I apologize! I'm leaving my original comment up so people can see what an idiot I am XD We don't have seasons here in SoCal, sooo I kind of... forgot that other places get actual snow and stuff and people would need gloves to keep their hands warm XD

    I don't see the problem. The poop is in a sealed bag. There was never direct contact; assuming everyone knows to put the bag over their hand, pick it up, and turn the bag inside out. Tie. No contact. ...By this logic, anyone who handles specimen cups are overexposing themselves to the biological matter in the cup; if its properly contained, they're not handling the specimen, theyre handling its container. Same for a poo bag. Its gross at face value, but not actually in practice. ...until the bag breaks. Then yeah, gross. 🤢

    You wash dishes in hot water to sanitize, along with soap to degrease, as long as you THOROUGHLY wash them, that is. You rinse them in cold water specifically to get the soap completely off. If you're washing a lot of them and the water becomes dirty, you simply empty, rinse, refill the basin, and start over with fresh hot water for the rest of the dishes! Can you tell I lived in a lot of apartments that didn’t have dishwashers when I was single? My biggest pet peeve is when I have just filled the basin up with clean hot water and soap, and the first thing my husband puts in it is the damned greasy frying pan he just cooked something in. I love the fact that he cooks, but I was the one who had to teach him how to properly hand wash dishes when we got married (he was just dipping and swishing them in the water and putting them in the drying rack without rinsing them. Ugh), including that you wash your more delicate stuff, like glasses, first, then your dishes, then your godawful plots and pans—-unless you run a new basin of water for the. This is apparently the lesson he always forgets. TBH, we just need to buy a dishwasher. Of course then, he won’t rinse the dishes enough before loading it, so….

    In Europa we have separate toilets sometimes with their little lavabo for hand washing and extra bathrooms with big lavabo, bath, and shower. To have wc next to your bath or lavabo is unhygienic.,

    Sometimes, you have to get rid of something. But, you can spit, act about it, and generally make it seen, heard, known. Or, you can look for a drain in the ground, and silently have yourself relieved of some ... whatever you coughed up. But, ... you can do that without anybody noticing, and that often, it isn't anyway.

    I've had cats, usually three or more at any one time, for over forty years, and never allowed any of them onto kitchen work-surfaces. Shout and clap every single time they try it is all it's ever needed. Yes, they do sometime still get up if they think you;re not looking, and I'm sure when we're not home, so some hygiene measures are still needed, like yeah, I always use a clean chopping board and never the surface itself, except when baking and then make sure it's properly clean and sanitised first.

Just have to squirt them a few times, then all I have to do is pick up the water bottle and they turn around. After a bit of that stage, they stop trying.

    I hated that, too. Since 1st grade, I tried to evade being called to write on the blackboard. Or having to clean that mess. Always was disgusting, it smells hideous, and the stickiness of your hands afterwards is especially discomfortening. Not that it would be hard to take off, but none of our classrooms had soap, and on the bathroom wall, there were those soap grinders that gave you little shreds of an equally disgusting soap. We even ... we ridded our entire school of them, hoping for a replacement that was somewhat different, only to find out our school had been given a huge stock of these when the city started introducing other variants in public schools - "Somebody has to use up those grinders and grindsoap, let's give it all to one school and be done with!", somebody seems to have said, done, and likely, not even regretted.

    It's called preparation for adulthood. Life is filled with $hit you don't want to do, and people you don't want to be around. Your job as a parent is raise functional adults, capable of understanding and accepting responsibility. Not because they want to, but because it's required to be able to survive on their own. If that doesn't happen, you get adults who post video's on tiktok crying about not getting a job because they asked their potential employer what allowances would be made for their "time blindness"

    ha ha no. Preparation for adulthood? Not all of us WANT children or will have children. So why are we "preparing for adulthood" by caring for children that aren't ours? And I hate to be the one to inform you that babysitting your 7-year-old younger sibling when you're 12 won't teach you jack SHÍT about being a "functional adult" or "understanding and accepting responsibility". As an aside, caring for younger siblings is NOT an older sibling's "responsibility" - so why are they expected to "accept responsibility"? I'd also love for you to somehow prove that taking care of one's younger siblings in lieu of the parents doing it leads to the older siblings learning to "survive on their own" - how does TAKING CARE OF OTHER CHILDREN teach a child to "survive ON THEIR OWN"? (As an aside, I am the younger child of my parents. I was not forced to care for younger siblings, since none existed. And yet I am a functional adult! Wow! How did THAT happen?)

    https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/aem.00044-18 Just one study (there have been several) showing that there is all kinds of bacteria INSIDE the dryers, and the dryers then blow those bacteria right onto your hands when you use the dryers. And because you've just washed your hands, you think that they're clean - so you wouldn't think twice about rubbing your eyes or touching food or scratching your face/nose if it itched. Then those bacteria travel right into whatever part of your body you just touched. And because your hands are wet when you start using the dryer, the bacteria "stick" to the wet skin. This article is easier to read than the study: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-bacterial-horror-of-the-hot-air-hand-dryer-2018051113823

    I always preferred these, still do, nothing to touch, gets them properly dry. Yes, I've seen arguments about spreading bacteria, but really, if you've washed your hands properly what is there to spread?

    You wash your hands and then the dryer blows bacteria onto your nice clean skin. The bacteria isn’t coming from you, it’s coming from the dryer. Especially bad with the style of dryer where you put your hands in a top opening; as your hands drip, some water collects in the hand dryer, attracting dust & giving good (ie damp) growing conditions for mold and mildew spores.

    Unless someone is licking it, does it matter? I mean, yes, wipe out of curtesy, but the bacteria on one person's clothes going on someone else's clothes (or even their skin) doesn't really matter? They're going to shower and wash their clothes anyway.

In the last few years, on my local news, I've seen it twice where people have had parts of their bodies amputated because of people letting their dogs lick them. One guy had his nose amputated.

    At the time of Covid, when in the summer you could be a little freer from the restrictions on the terrace of the bar, a woman came there with her sweet little dog. Four other women cuddled with the dog one after the other, and lots of kisses were exchanged with the dog on the mouth. The feelings of disgust and horror from this memory still haven't faded. What a parade of bacteria.

    Diarrhea is a body function too. So is mucus. Are you grossed out by mucus or diarrhea? "It's a body function" doesn't preclude someone getting grossed out by it. Some people are grossed out by sweat, which is also a normal body function. It's okay to be grossed out by what you're grossed out by.

    I really liked being pregnant with two of my three kids. It was so nice to feel the baby in the belly and to talk to it and feel it move as if it was responding. Also, the reason my last pregnancy was awful was the hormones. I ate ALL the time and gained a lot of weight and I was so tired and in pain all the time. I am happy to not be able to have more children by now. My body just cannot carry more mini-humans. But in general I really liked being pregnant. Sure, many things about it is gross, but I didn't really think about that. I just liked to bond with the baby and was excited to meet each kid.

    It seems to be a generational thing, a lot of the time. My father lives with me, and constantly complains about how dirty the floors are. The thing is he's the only one who wears shoes in the house. He puts them on when he wakes up, and doesn't take them off until he goes to bed. He even puts them back on to go to the bathroom, at night. We have an ongoing argument. He says he has to wear shoes, because the floors are dirty. I say they are dirty, because we live in a place that's usually rainy or snowy, and he's tracking in the mud. I do clean them every other day, while he's at dialysis, and I bought him slippers. The problem is he'll wear those inside and outside, too.

But....carpeting is disgusting no matter what, which is why i loathe it. We never wear shoes inside, but my wife can't stand to walk on cold floors in the winter.....so we have throw rugs down....every 3 or 4 weeks they get washed in the bathtub, and each and every time that water ends up looking like mud. Just imagine what the carpet pad under the wall to wall stuff looks like.

Everytime i see anyone with those several inch long fake nails, they're some sort of unidentiful crud on the underside. Is it food? Careless in the bathroom? A combination of both?!

    Sanitizing doesn't remove urine, dirt, grease, microbes, etc; and there are some viruses with outer membranes that aren't penetrated by alcohol, so it's usually best to wash your hands properly (soap & running water, lave for at least 20 seconds before rinsing, and continue to lave while rinsing) rather than just using sanitizer.
