30 People Share Disgusting Things People Don’t Realize Are Very Gross

The whole thing about 'rich men' and the 'eye of a needle'? Spot on..

Should be illegal.

The "hawking' thing, actually drawing snot down into your mouth, always makes me feel nauseous. Use a farking handkerchief, for dog's sake.

For those who need to hear this, rinsing your fingers quickly doesn't count.

1 of the most annoying sounds in this world

Also the drooling

Food not so bad, it happens to the best of us but snot bubbles or hard snots 🤢

ANYONE with food on their face.

For child, I can forgive. Grown ups with food and suff on face-no!

I call them little drunk people.

*GAG*

Food-face can be briefly cute--like when a toddler smushes birthday cake all over their face.

This is happening to me all the time. I am senior who is paid less then juniors because I have been longest in the company. Get that logic!

Not gross. But super-long nails on the other hand... How do you even keep them clean?

Smelly especially if they smoke

I wish I could up vote this a million times. The longer I live the more I realize how gross and stupid a vast portion of the population really is

Half my customers smell like mildew.

Pet peeve. If you keep long nails please scrub underneath. They are bacteria beds.

They make a woman look like a suckerfish.

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.

And i am done.

God, I hate that sound. When I am in the bus and someone is puckering the damn gum, I just want to yell them to stop! I have misophonia so I can't stand that sound.

Wash before eating, wash before cooking, wash during cooking if you've handled raw meat (especially pork or poultry) with your bare hands.

Especially when you live alone...

We wash with washing up liquid in the UK and leave to dry in a dish rack. Can't say I've ever tasted soap.

Gotta hate the public toilets with no lids, just the seat.

Or chewing with an open mouth.

Same with people that chew (tobacco) when they spit it in a cup.

The Saw movies look like a kids film compaired to childbirth

Or when counting paper money. Or when trying to open a plastic grocery bag...

Some TV chefs that are always so keen to get their hands in, like when dressing a salad or just mixing stuff, rather than just using a spoon like a normal person, but then leave all their jewellery on, make me cringe every time.

How do you propose I STOP my cats from getting onto the countertops? XD I gave up on that decades - and three cats - ago (and I tried EVERY method.) Now I just, you know, WIPE OFF THE COUNTERTOPS before I cook/prep. And it's not like I'm putting food directly ON the countertop itself anyway.

Never thought about this one before, was just at aunts birthday last week and she took her teeth out to blow properly 🤢

Makes me queasy too.

And the smell when they're fixing a cavity 🤢🤢

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"

I hate those, and the sound is too loud!

I knew a guy doing a study of germs found on gym equipment. The seats of stationary bikes were the worst.

People letting their dogs lick their faces or sometimes even inside their mouths. YUCCCKKK

I don't chew my nails, but I do pick at my lips, which I understand is gross, but when I get anxious, I have to find something to do with my hands, and if i'm not wearing a necklace or bracelets to play with, that's unfortunately my go-to. I try not to do it in public though, because I know how gross it is. and harmful to my lips, which are already often chapped.

A lot of us aren't ;) And that's why I have two dogs and two cats instead.

Mommy and daddy are a specific and very odd thing, but 'baby' has long been a normal affectionate term between couples, as evident in popular music for at least the last seventy years or so.

People do that?! 🤢

Not everybody has sweaty stinky feet, you know.

Who wears their shoes indoors, ESPECIALLY on carpeting?!

Fastest way to get a man out from the toilet is to turn off the WiFi. 😂

Poopy kisses! My favorite!!! 💩 🥰

Real or fake, they all have the same nasty stuff under them.

Could someone in this community please explain why restrooms don't have sanitizer AND soap in mens public baths? If I use the urinal, I would prefer sanitizing over washing. I mean, I KNOW where my junk has been.

Vaping in general.

This is one I disagree with. We'd all be healthier and less likely to literally die of embarrassment from bowel cancer if we just talked about a totally normal thing.

It might be legal but it sure is creepy..

Ugh. Or worse, on.a.BED. :shudder:

I think it's disgusting when I get food floaties in the dish water. I just can't until I find it and throw it out.
