How Gross Are You?

So come on then, how gross are you? Are there things you do that you know for certain other people would be really grossed out by? Tell us about them here.

I will go first as these are all things I've admitted on ILX before.

- I pee in the shower.
- I sit on public toilet seats because squatting is what messes them up in the first place and you can't catch anything from a toilet seat anyway.
- Sometimes I like things that smell kind of gross like belly buttons for instance. Sometimes they get sorta stinky but I kinda like that.

I pee in my shower beers.

OK not really.

-i kind of enjoy the smell of my armpits?

I pick my nose. Not in public or anything but in the privacy of my own home sometimes you just gotta have a good pick. Anyone who says they never do this is LYING.

-i have been known to shed body hair

I don't know if that's really gross. I mean, I'm sure that to some extent most people do.

-i will try to be grosser

hahahaha

I don't know if this is gross or not but I'm sure that some ppl would think so. I'm not at all freaked out by body fluids. In fact, I'm sorta fascinated by them.

btw - As a general rule I do not pee in other ppls showers so please don't worry if I ever wind up staying at any of your houses.

bodily fluids are not gross at all. I don't think peeing in the shower is either but I'm sure some ppl would disagree.

xpost lol

I am dirt under the fingernails level super gross and yknow what, fuck it. I give -1 fuck.

my fingernails are always really dirty :(

-yeah i think peeing in the shower is totally acceptable and people who think its weird are horrible human beings

Oh i love popping zits. It's one of my greatest joys in life.

also if you really want you can pee directly into the drain

what about a bunch of popped zits clustered together

See when it comes to hygiene stuff I'm pretty fastidious. Like, I feel gross if I don't shower every day and my nails are usually manicured (short nails not gross long fake ones or anything). I even keep up with the leg shaving in winter most of the time. I did grow out my pit hair one winter just to see what it was like but then shaved it when spring came.

x-post if they were clustered together then it might freak me out

It's bad though. I was sitting behind some guy with a huge fucking whitehead on the back of his neck and it took so much willpower to stop myself from just reaching over and popping the shit out of that thing.

OK wait - this one is pretty bad. I used to bite my toenails but then I started getting pedicures and don't do this anymore. See, I told you I'm gross.

i just coughed and before i could cover my mouth a lougie landed on my hand

true story

Did you examine it? That's what I would have done.

Sometimes Benson's face smells because of all the folds and stuff. I clean it everyday but he gets into a lot of trouble so it's hard to keep up with. I don't mind though. I kind of like it because it smells like him.

I have a writer's callus on my right middle finger, and every once in a while I'll clip away at it with a pair of nail clippers, greatly reducing its size and leaving the skin all red and raw (but not (usually) bloody). it always grows back.

teach me how to lougie

gross, dude

I take a shower approx every 4th or 5th day -- more often if I need to go out and face the public, but that's not common.

I swallow a bunch of burps & wait for them to resurface as one giant fart.

this is a good thread

I've eaten in the bath and then put the dishes in it to wash them off.

Yeah, being unemployed for quite a time has upset my showering schedule so much that sometimes I realize it's been a full week since my last one. I have to wash my hair more often than that, though, because I've got a naturally dry scalp.

Speaking of my dry scalp, it's particularly satisfying when I can pick a really sizeable fleck of dead skin off and have it remain intact long enough to look at it closely.

Oh, I just remembered something...several years ago, I had a bump on my jawline that just wouldn't go away. I had it for a long time. One night I was lucky enough to finally pop it and there was a whisker/hair in there that, stretched out, was probably about six inches long. And the smell was t o x i c.

HOw in the shit do you bite your toenails? I dont think I could manage to get my foot anywhere near my mouth o_0

Really!

Oh i love popping zits. It's one of my greatest joys in life.

I am pretty much ENBB, minus toenail chewing, with fewer showers.

¯\(°_o)/¯

I'm double jointed and have long legs?

I'd just like to reiterate that I don't do the toenail thing anymore.

im generally pretty clean w one conspicuous exception: i eat my own snot, like launch the globs and strands onto my fingers and lick em clean. I relish it. Ive always done this. I realize it's pretty gross but i get zit-popping satisfaction out of doing it so ive given up trying to quit.

THIS THREAD DELIVERS

thread got gross

xp lol

Really!

― kate78

...hey, was I just zinged? :|

no zing, the "really!" was about biting the mechanics of toenail biting.

I like popping my own zits but I think it's gross to pop other people's zits

I have keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and I like to pick off the skin cap over hair follicles when I'm bored

Hahah I thought it was some "o rly" comment re foot-in-mouth syndrome lol ;)

I am truly disgusting in every way.

i wash myself with the same towel over and over for like 1-2 months before I launder it

I do that with my bed sheets :( No wonder I never get any dates.

haha wasn't there a towel washing thread?

I haven't washed my sheets since I started using them back in september. otoh I wash my towel every week.

― I Lost A COGHdrop in His Pato (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, January 12, 2011 11:27 AM (8 hours ago)

Whiney do you smoke cigarettes? It was only after smoking for a year that I learned this skill.

BTW nothing made me feel more disgusting and trashy than when I smoked! Not that I am knocking on the cigarette fans of ILX. Most young ppl I see smoking do not disgust me. (Most old ppl I see smoking so, though, bcz they are usually doing something like putting their fake teeth on a concrete bench while rolling a smoke from a big tub of Top tobacco.)

But man, when I smoked, I just felt like an ashy stinky mucousy asshole basically 100% of the time. Esp. if I ever had to hock a loogie while walking around town. So embarrassing to me. Also I couldn't smell (not from smoking, but born that way, you all know that) – so I just imagined the worst as far as how I smelled to people. OTOH, it gave me something to project all my self-loathing onto: "man, I am such a fucking revolting and graceless woman...thanks to this cigarette!" When I quit, I basically just kind of had to absorb those feelings...no more scapegoat for me. Also you can't blame cigarettes for a queefing problem.

Yeah the one thing I feel disgusting abt with smoking is when I become very aware that I stink. Mainly when I'm somewhere - like my parents place - where no one smokes ever. Suddenly every bit of my clothing, my bags, everything reeks faintly of smoke. Ugh!

i got onto washing my towels weekly only three or four years ago. sheets are still on for way longer than they should be

Oh I cant go without washing my towels too long now - they just start to smell horrible!

i also sleep on a mattress that usually has no sheets on it and also has various degrees of trash, fast food bags, cds, dvds, and clothes

today in the bathroom at work I cleared my throat and a tonsilith came out and landed in the urinal -_-

when i was a freshman in college i didn't sweep or vacuum the whole year. And I had cheap blue towels that shed fuzz, so I had these little dusty towel fuzz clouds congregating in any corner of the room.

hey can you guess how many ppl came to visit?

-i kind of enjoy the smell of my armpits?

ps...this, with certainty

how many times do you use yr bath towel before you wash it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQxjg5uyaww

i wear the same socks over and over

I rotate between two pairs — once they start to get stinky I wash them in the sink.

i go commando at least 3 times a week

I usually only bring 2-3 pairs of socks on vacation

have found that reducing sock wearing as much as possible is the key to relatively non-stinky feet.

I haven't cleaned my flat in over 3 months. I broke down last week and got a toilet scrubber and bleach though, to clean the plaquey orange stuff that has been growing in the hole for the past month.

That bath towel thread gives me the horrors imaging some americans running loads of washing and drying every single day. I shudder at the waste of energy.

I knew a guy in high school who would wash pants after a single wearing

I'll wash tops after one wear, but I seem to get stinky easily, esp in the current horrid humidity.

Jeans can wait, tho.

PS I pick my nose.

work pants are washed weekly, but yeah jeans can go for a month or more

apparently i'm not that gross, thanks everybody

I farted at least 12 times in the war room at work today

I will wash (or wear washed) clothes if I even remotely think I might pick up.

... this does not happen much ;_;

This is not to imply i mostly wear stinky gross clothes btw

in giving in to the raw denim trend, I have worn the jeans I'm wearing now for the last 3 months without washing them

I put them outside to air out though

god you people have nothing.

- i leave wine bottles by my bed before i go to sleep and pee in them so i don't have to climb down my loft in the early morning, only empty/throw them out once a week.
- i've been wearing the same undershirt and t-shirt for three days straight. this is a regular occurrence.
- haven't washed these jeans in a while, but hey, i'm working construction tomorrow, who cares
- i can put out cigarettes on my tongue
- there are cigarette butts, receipts, and clothes all over the floor of my room

i dunno, i'm pretty gross. that said, i make sure i look good/feel good all times, so that's what matters. i also do wear deodorant and brush/floss/mouthwash 2-3 times a day.

I am currently sleeping under a doona whose cover my cat has puked on thrice this week. I just wiped it off with a paper towel. CBF washing the damn thing again I only washed it a week or 2 back.

re: popping zits

Not even 1/10th as satisfying as squeezing out a blackhead that was much deeper and more gnarly than you ever expected, and then seeing the open hole on your face where it had been lodged for ages.

i haven't trimmed my pubes in months. starting to curl.

sometimes i absent-mindedly pick/tear the ends of my fingernails off if theyre getting long and i'm not paying attention to what my hands are doing enough to go get the nail clippers

wait san te, you trim? are you male or female bodied? just curious. cuz i find trimming fine on dudes, shaved is gross..shaved on girls is like, "ugh". know so many sex worker ladies who do it for their jobs but it just looks disgusting, imo

i's a dude, I trim but have never been 'hair free' in that area. mostly cuz I'm afraid of nicking my bag

Not yet up to adding grossness to this thread but just had to comment on Erica's female hairy armpit thing. I don't understand the problem so many guys have with women who have hairy armpits and I never will. There is literally nothing gross about hairy armpits on women.

'er indoors does not I repeat not have hairy armpits btw.

Dunno if this counts but before our wedding I had some work done on my nasal cavity. For almost a year after the operation, at least twice a day, I was coughing up hard chunks of snot the size of AA batteries.

Yeah, that's gross.

co-sign on hairy pits (or legs or pubes) on women, tho. not gross at all.

hairy pits rule on all humans.

i salute our new leader Harry Pits

I came on here to assert that I am grosser than all of you, but... thanks for making me feel vaguely normal, guys.

Yeah, I mean I'm guilty of many of the things on here, but right now I feel in need of a power shower.

takin my hat off to ENBB here

Yr not washing it though, right?

there's been like a trapped fart in me since like 6 a.m., I need to release it but it's hiding deep inside my body. gonna go smoke it out in the shower

You can get ringworm from musty old towrls

In Idaho I would sometimes just not shave my body hair at all, but the weather was a lot less sweat-inducing there. One time me and a friend were swimming at a public pool and these two little boys (9-10 years old maybe) were like making each other giggle and blush. One of them said, "He likes you...he likes your type...he likes hairy girls..." I went home and shaved.

i have the worst gag reflex in the world. any time I do a strep test where they want to swab my throat or stick that stick in my mouth, I come close to puking. almost threw up on the doctor last time but swallowed it instead.

i also often think of vile, grotesque wtf images. i have no control over it, they just appear in my subconscious

like Nell Carter being teabagged by Sherman Hemsley

I have a hair-trigger gag reflex too, and I had to have a tooth out last year. Even the dentist was taken aback by my frequent gagging. Nightmare.

I have keratosis pilaris on my upper arms and I like to pick off the skin cap over hair follicles when I'm bored

Me too! However, having read the rest of this thread, I'm not sure if it qualifies as gross anymore : /

i bite my nails, sometimes until they bleed. My cuticles are made up of scar tissue...and like ENBB i always have to smell my belly button...its smells like an aged cheese. Thats about as gross as i get.

my gag reflex is so nuts that I throw up brushing my teeth sometimes and have to start all over again.

All of these will prepare your bodies for fighting the bird flu.

Seriously. I never get sick with colds/flu, ever.

That sounds like you're daring the universe, now.

― peacocks, Wednesday, January 12, 2011 2:03 PM (Yesterday)

Why do people do this? Eat in the bathtub? I don't think it's "disgusting savage" level, it's just weird.

I guess it depends on if you're taking a bath to get clean or taking a bath to relax. If I was having a relaxing bath (which I probably haven't bothered doing in 15 years or more), I'd eat something indulgent and probably have some champagne too.

I shower about once a week. Think I'm over the week mark just now. Probably for the best, I've no idea when I last washed the one towel I'm currently using. Of its many stains one I recognise is a significant quantity of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food.

pick my nose, squeeze zits, bite my nails to the quick, am not akin to skipping a day or two from showering. that's the extent of it.

Merydeux do you have like thigh rashes and stuff?

i wipe hard in the mothafuckin taint

wait i did cum into a curtain once in a tight spot, looking back

I have a book called Doctor Who and the Taint.

calibrated spooge, nice

Not to overlook your curtain spunk story but y'know xp

"craziest places you've masturbated" thread spinoff thread in 3....2....

any portiere in a storm

i would maybe post to that thread. maybe.

I feel like we already have that thread?

I can't be bothered to search for it tho

might do it when i have two hands free again

Merydeux do you have like thigh rashes and stuff?

nah my skin is pretty good, somehow. it feels like cheating as far as grossness bragging points go (and i obv break those out a lot), since for the most part it seems more theoretically gross than actually.

xpost for the record I wouldn't post in that thread. I want to preserve the illusion that you all are more vile than me

xp sorry to steer the thread off of the direction it was headed, but my masturbatory practices have been entirely dull.

i have yet to masturbate at work

Okay because if I don't wash for 36 hours my arse chafes something furious xxxp

there's def a historical thread for handjobbing on the job

i have a veritable chia pet in my ass

i'm always afraid there's a hidden camera at work set up just to catch people jerking

Does anyone masturbate at work?

I pick my nose, I fart unabashedly in front of ppl I feel very comfortable around (to the point where sometimes I'll do it in mid-conversation without realizing), II haven't used shampoo since Oct 09, I shower maybe 4x a week, and I find hairy asses incredibly sexy.

Also lol seriously are sitting on toilet seats and occasionally peeing in the shower and liking the smell of body odor really all that gross? bcz if so srsly at this point I might be #1 grossest dude on ILX. Also seriously pee really isn't that gross. I mean I wouldn't ENJOY someone peeing on me, but I really wouldn't get that mad about it unless it was going to stain a garment. Spit is much more gross than pee IMO; also vomit.

eh, pee doesn't bother me that much

clear or light yellow pee is not that gross. it's the dark yellow/brown & other colored pee that's gross.

also asparagus pee. and diabetic pee.

or doodoo pee

i can't fathom how people cannot shower everyday. I dont feel right if i dont, sometimes i shower twice a day. But i have OCD...so you know.

Well I am a very hairless and unsmelly dude, for the most part, and I am p skinny and don't really sweat that much. The only time it's grossed me out is when I sort of had nowhere to live for two months and could only shower maybe once or twice a week; that felt yucky.

i saw the username and expeted a really filthy post there.

but your balls and taint need to be clean. if your shitting every day you should be washing your ass on a regular basis.

or at the very least wiping afterward

i use a neti pot daily, this morning a giant glob of yellow mucus came out of my sinuses....giddy up.

I hate washing my hands.

I wash my hands all the time because I smoke, but sometimes I'll just go do it even if I haven't had a cigarette in a while. They never feel clean enough. (Yet I'll go a week without showering, as mentioned above.)

I don't hork lougies much anymore, but lately have developed these solidified plugs of snot in my upper sinuses that I have to suction down into my throat using possibly yogic breathing techniques. It can take me an hour to expel one of these bastards. They are gelatinous and thick like rubber and bloody.

xp like everything about it — wet hands, stupid perfumey soap, wasting an entire paper towel just to dry my hands. fuck washing a hand imo

Will you post a pic?

i have gross belly button lint

I like em cute, round tits and fat asses
Educated, so I can bust off on they glasses

oops wrong thread lol

I can't believe dayo hates diabetic ruines!/

and that last word, was supposed to be: usrin

oh fuyck I mean urine
I forswear typing

There have been several threads about masturbating at work iirc and I do because I was the only girl who admitted to doing so.

It was a one time deal tho not a habitual thing.

i did in school once when I was 15...i blame being a scorpio

few times in school
maybe three times at work? most recent was this summer u_u

I blame not getting any.

Oh I was gettin' some at the time. Was just bored.

At 15 my mind was a cacophony of smut

braggin mmxi

xp

this thread needs to be a poll in a month or so

Matt P will win for eating his snot.

yeah that's pretty rough but for some reason the toenail biting really bothers me.

I was a p wacky kid at age 16 and my even wackier friend and I decided I should try to get fired from my very first job, at Taco Bell. I did not make an earnest effort of not working so much as trying to do outrageous things. One day I stood in front of the security camera, that I knew the boss could see from his office, with my hand down the front of my pleated polyester uniform pants. "Hello I am 'masturbating' at work!" (I hadn't even figured out how to actually do it – I'd never yet had an orgasm at this point...) So, I doubt he ever saw it, as he never said anything. Or maybe he did see it and chose to say nothing. It wasn't like a really erotic display. I feel fucked up abt it in retrospect.

Just imagining this b&w security camera footage of a 16-year-old in a bean-covered androgynous uniform & baseball cap, short bleached hair, hand down her pants, prolly looking sad...fucked up.

Speaking of snot I once had an ongoing nasty sinus infection/issue that never seemed to clear up. At one point, with a sore and stuffy face, had to fly so I took a sudafed to alleviate airplane pressure (does a number on your ears and face if you have sinus probs).

At the airport, I felt like my snot was loosening up from the sudafed so I blew my nose. I felt something big loosen up, so I blew real hard, and felt something shoot out from wayyyy up in the top of my sinus cavity.

It was a hard, white mass about the size of a large chickpea. I have no idea what it was. Maybe I sneezed my brain out.

oh my

I do quite enjoy picking a booger that has a long slimey tail you weren't expecting and, in turn, feels like you just opened up your whole head to more incoming/outgoing air.

Also Abb yr story made me giggle. And think of this:

Matt P will win for eating his snot.

yeah, it's weird, i'm happy to engage with my snot in all sorts of ways, but eating is many levels beyond.

Farting,
nose picking
scalp scratching
omg Dayo I have that skin condition too, I never knew it had a name, hooray always thought I just had permanent goosebumps...sleep on the same sheets for longer than I should...
Actually I scratch my head way more than I should, get weird ingrown hair bumps around the nape of my neck that I pick at
I have a ganglia on my neck, have had it since I was a kid. I squeezed it too hard last year and omg this gross smelly cheese stuff burst out of it...apparently it's like built up keratin from the skin or something but it was gross..though secretly kind of cool from a bizarre excretion standpoint
I have lots of earwax bc of small ear canals, have to get my ears syringed once or twice a year bc they're not self cleaning like they should be. hard for me to q-tip without going deaf from wax buildup so spend a lot of time wondering if people can see. I clean the outsides but, like I never let boys stick tongues in my ears bc I was scared I'd gross them out lol
I have the smelliest feet in the universe, come from a stinky feet family, all I can do is keep em clean, the rest is outta my control, sorry

Sorry, tl;dr...I was scared I'd outgross everyone but yay, gross is kinda normal!

I still have a little scar bump on the backside of my left earlobe from when I pierced my ear by myself in high school. It no longer produces goo when I press on it, but it used to.

I have lots of earwax bc of small ear canals

Maybe that's my problem. I dig em out once a day, and it's almost always a bountiful load.

Mythbusters made an earwax candle on one of their movie myth episodes. Out of actual earwax collected from the crew. Maybe the grossest thing I've ever seen.

Eh, earwax isn't that gross. And it's certainly not the grossest thing to ever happen on Mythbusters.

Nah, that was the worst for me. Other peoples earwax, plus Grant gagging all the way through...that was critical mass for me. Worse than anything they've done IMO

The human replicas made from pig flesh/meat gross me out far worse.

Huh. .see they don't bother me. I am a disgusting savage tho

It's just a thing, I guess.

Oh, I just remembered...I had ingrown toenails on both my big toes when I was in high school. Before I got them fixed, they used to ooze the most unfathomably smelly puss/blood combo after a long day with shoes and socks on. When it came time to take my socks off, I'd have to gingerly remove the fabric from the toenail areas on both toes because it would be stuck with this crusty bond. And then I would smell them. :D

Mum had her ingrown toenail removed and she had to air it out to heal...looked like a weird alien. She worked it though, would just take her socks off to clear the room so she could watch her favorite tv show or get some peace and quiet lol

have a ganglia on my neck, have had it since I was a kid. I squeezed it too hard last year and omg this gross smelly cheese stuff burst out of it...apparently it's like built up keratin from the skin or something but it was gross..though secretly kind of cool from a bizarre excretion standpoint

I have this too! I can actually remember a time when I didn't have it. I thought it was just my body's way of producing pheromones

Why do I bookmark this thread?

still waiting for the A+++ post that brings this thread to a grinding halt, the hallmark of nasty. who has it in em?

i unfortunately never shit my pants so I can't play that angle

aw hell i've done that. In the middle of a roomful of nuns, no less.

my heels tend to accrue this sorta multilayered husk of dead skin, which I unconsciously scrape & pick at, so that said areas of my feet look like some sort of jagged rock formation.

aw hell i've done that. In the middle of a roomful of nuns, no less.

STORY TIME

actually not really. I mean I did it as a kid, but not since I was ilke 7 altho had several photo finishes

no big story, i was about 6, our school was convent-run, i probably had an upset stomach or w/e and i had been refused permission to go do it elsewhere iirc.

refused permission? good lord, glad I avoided nun schools

lol yeah they were p much bad people

i mean on occasion they pulled that shit in my schools too but it's like what are you trying to accomplish? kids learning how to back up their gastrointestinal systems?

my bro told me once that his 7th grade teacher was being an asshole about letting him use the bathroom, and after being refused twice, he walked up to the front to ask a third time. He started to say "I REALLY need to use the ba--" and before he could finish, he ripped a gigantic fart...and the teacher finally gave him the bathroom pass.

i started reading this thread while eating and-- um, that was not a good idea.

E, It is good that someone else used to bite their toenails! I stopped not because pedicures but because declining flexibility. :/ (Not super gross or w/e but I don't really know how to cut my fingernails - i know the theory but the action is awkward - and therefore have always bitten them down instead.)

This thread is making me feel like some kind of prissy cleanazoid, which i rly appreciate! About the grossest thing going on w/ me is that having had some kind of sinusitis for like a year I have become an expert cataloguer of the vagaries of my own snot and have got p blase about accidentally sneezing on self/reusing tissues/having a face devoted entirely to the production of mucus.

i usually pee a few times in my toilet before flushing, but i guess i must have waited a couple days or so once last week... when i got home from work i could smell it before i even opened the door to apartment :\

ahh hell naw, I won't even do that...lol

also: why not eat boogers? salty treat imo

xpost nothing was worse than the time where my roommate's father apparently shit in my toilet while I was gone, and had trouble flushing it, so he left it there, and I walk into the house to smell an overwhelming aroma of shit.

read my latest entry on the disgusting savage thread tbh

I don't get peeing in the shower because the toilet is right fucking next to it.

if you aim really well, the pee just goes right down the drain! You conserve water from the flush.

I mean it's for if you are already in the shower and UH OH u gotta pee.
I mean, if you are deliberately skipping the toilet to pee in the shower, that's a bit odd

It's not odd - it's multitasking!

If I'm already in the shower and I need to pee, I can just step out of it and OMIGOD THIS IS CRAZY WHO WAS THE GENIUS WHO THOUGHT OF THIS there is a toilet right fucking there just waiting for me to empty my bladder.

yeah

tho tbrr i dont know htf the urge to pee can come that strongly w/out fair warning that you can't

i) go beforehand
ii) wait til after

also too busy wanking fwiw

I hate getting out of the shower once I'm in

yeah but how long do yis shower for that waiting is that much of a deal?

salty treat

i've masturbated in the shower, but never peed in it. that shit's for savages imo. Rev OTM.

you're doing it wrong - masturbate, then flush out the pipes again

pee in the shower, don't waste water with another flush, chill princess it's ok u r doing mother nature a solid, wash yo ass

Usually, being hit by shower water makes me have to pee.

what if you have to go both ways, do you do both in the shower?

depends on the plughole diameter/bristol scale ratio

man that seems like a lot of thinking and calculating in a time of need

ime it's worth taking the time.

I mean is there a laminated cheat sheet or something we can put in the shower to refer to

you'll learn nothing that way son

do nature a solid by dropping a solid in the shower

the toilet thus becomes an ancient relic

the shower thus becomes a shitpool

"honey for the life of me i can't figure out why i smell worse and worse every time i shower"

M*** R****y
just had a wee in the shower :))

this isn't really that gross, just bizarre: I have noticed that sometimes IMMEDIATELY after I smoke weed, a long, fully-grown white hair that wasn't there before ends up protruding from this particular spot on my right cheek. wtf does this mean/how the fuck does this happen

uh

you are growing a smoke persian rug

you are transforming into Liu Kang

my bacne is bleeding

When I had bacne, I had to throw out a few t-shirts for that very reason.

Bite toenails: Check
Bite cuticles and chew up the skin (although don't swallow it): Check
Express blackheads/whiteheads/acne: Have we even MET?
Pick nose: Check, for when you really can't get the stuff in the back
Hork sinus congestion out mouth and sort of swish it around to sense the texture before spitting: Check! (Soooo satisfying.)
Bacne blood/scratches: Check, because my stupid skin is SO SENSITIVE to every goddamn thing.
Pee in shower: Oh please, this is not even gross.

Have peed in a pint glass from the kitchen sink when boyfriend's roommate simply would NOT get out of the shower. Poured down sink drain, washed glass afterward.

i was up at 3am last night watching botfly extraction videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkiZkmmHRnU

Oh yeah, I've seen that one.

I sometimes watch the zit squeezing ones on youtube. I often have to do so through my hands for the really gross ones (there is some unbelievable) stuff out there but I love it.

Oh wait that's a compilation - I hadn't seen it. THE ONE IN THE EYEBALL. Oh. My. God.

Also, now that I'm thinking about gross things involving peeing, have wiped self with all manner of things in club/bar bathrooms/while in altered states (or not wiped at all), including own underwear or tights (remove first, ball up and stuff in purse for laundry, or possibly throw out), the cardboard roll that has no more toilet paper on it (remove from spindle first and throw out after), own hand (wash after). Pretty much I figure guys don't have to wipe anything, so I don't mind being cavalier about it, either.

Yeah I have done all three of those. The cardboard tube one works pretty well but is sort of uncomfortable.

hahaha the one where the botfly juice gets on the camera lens

I've learned more on ILX than I've ever learned in school.

is it wrong that now I kind of want to get infected by a botfly larvae just so I can pull one out

yes

I sometimes watch the zit squeezing ones on youtube.

these are always so unsatisfying tho

botfly vidz are p w/e this is the shit to fuck with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cutaneous_conditions

You do not want to be in a room with me within 12 hours of my having eaten any kind of cheese.

is it wrong that now I kind of want to get infected by a botfly larvae just so I can pull one out

I had this same thought! Like it has to feel so satisfying when that thing pops out!

I've been kind of bummed I haven't gotten a big zit in like 10 years, I miss poppin em.

I'm not gonna read that lamp because I feel like I could catch one of those just by reading about it

Oh, shut up WGW you poor unblemished man.

I've been kind of bummed I haven't gotten a big zit in like 10 years, I miss poppin em.

srsly!! there is little on earth my satisfying!!

slow down there, gollum

lol

http://www.aafp.org/afp/2000/1015/afp20001015p1823-f1.gif

also how excellent are diagrams like these?? they abstract the grossness in a perfect way imo

slow down there, gollum

pinch the pimples like nipples to get the pus amirite??

I've popped zits in the past that erupted on the scale of Krakatoa.

I've gotten a few tiny zits lately and it felt unsatisfying to pop them

I think I may be a premature popper

fuck, pretty sure ENBB and I are soul sisters. I do all these things, including preteen toenail biting past (got called out on it by an Aunt, said I ripped the nail off.. stopped after that), even once masturbated at previous job!

Sometimes floss out teeth in a pinch with strands of hair - don't know if that's gross really but can't think of much else that's left! I used to be a bathtub smoker when I lived at my Dad's house (he smoked everywhere, why shouldn't I? Used to grab a book, ashtray, cigs and a Portishead CD and soak until the water got cold, refilling once or twice..)

I've never heard of the hair floss before, but yeah...makes sense.

lol Lex, <3

I have terribly spaced teeth so I get a lot of things stuck in, and have some obsessive issues about things stuck in teeth - so yeah, since I don't carry toothpicks.. pluck a hair!

Also an occasional hair grows out of my chin and I LOVE plucking that fucker but I know I've discussed that before. So fun.

<3!

agreed that the botfly removal looks so satisfying. well, not the eye ones.

following on from laurel's honking of sinus congestion, at the moment i'm coughing up all kindsa gross shit, and kind of enjoying the feel of it in my mouth.

hey yall, still a booger eater :/

-I only wash my jean once every few months, raw denim thing.
-I had a boil last year that grew to the size of an acorn. I cut it open myself and lord...... it was the grosses sight and smell ever. but it was so satisfying
-I like my girl's underarm's smell

http://mthruf.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/job-fails-damn-what-have-i-been-missing-out-on.png

Boils. I got one about ten years ago. Summer of '02 when I was working at a Hollywood Video. I didn't know what one was. I just knew I had this sore lump on the back of my neck and so I rubbed at it absentmindedly to give myself relief.

One day, I was rubbing on it up at the cash register in a slow period in between customers when it burst in between my fingers. I looked at my hand and saw the ribbon of white fluid and smelled the overpowering cheesy smell. I ran to the bathroom and tried to wash it up the best I could, but it kept oozing the rest of the day.

I tried squeezing the rest out at home, but even after I had squeezed everything out, I still had this great big lump. I carried that lump with me for 9 years.

Flash forward to December 2011. ILX is in the sandbox. I'm back in the office after being laid low for a couple of days by a brutal virus. I'm rubbing the back of my neck.

At some point, I'm resting my chin in my hand, staring at something on the computer, when I smell it. That fucking smell! And I look at my hand but there's no cheesy white stuff, but I have my suspicions about where that smell could have come from. So I rub the back of my neck some more. My hand smells like, 10 times as bad.

And so I rub and rub and rub and rub and keep getting the smelly hand and eventually, a small amount of flaky white paste.

I think that I was essentially expelling the stuff through my skin. The boil never came to a head or anything. But I worked on it some more and now the lump is gone and the skin on the back of my neck no longer smelly. I'm hoping it's gone for good, but I fear that some of it may still remain beneath the surface.

What the fuck, people. What the fuck.

I don't take a shower every day. That's all I got at the moment.

My sister told me an awful story about how my mom requested assistance in lacerating an armpit boil with one of the lancets my diabetic brother uses to check his blood glucose. Somehow that's like a perfect synecdoche for my family.

lacerating probs the wrong word; point is she wanted to make it explode

those lancets are pretty sharp!

yeah holy fuck, that can't be anything but an awful story

lol beachville I could pretty much tell the same story

Man, I am jealous of these boils.

#thingyoudon'thearveryoften

Aerosol, did you have yours for years like that?

Hey beachville, T. thinks you had a sebaceous cyst. Boils don't usually stay for that long. Mine turned a purplish hue before I lanced it. Mine lasted for almost 2 months and was embarrassing because my arm looks like it had a large tumor on it. I finally had to wear long sleeves shirts.

Beachville, what you got there is called a secbaceous cyst. That's what the cheesy stinky goo is - its the oils yr skin produces to keep it soft, but... too much? Infected? Anyway I have the exact same thing between my shoulder blades. Was gonna have it surgically removed but the it spontaneously drained one day and ever since its been a small lump, like some dormant volcano.

Woah xpost lol

i had one for 20-odd years but mine got well stinky at the start of last year so i had it surgically removed.

twenty!

Ive still got mine and its been about 7 or 8 years, but the only active period was when it first showed up in 2004 or thereabouts - I went through a horrible phase of getting caught out with it leaking/bursting and soaking my shirt with bloodied, smelly pus in inconvenient situations like on a train. I ended up having to wear these big surgical pads like some kind of back-nappy :(

I got my mum to help drain it once (between my fscking shoulder blades - the one spot on the body a person cant reach!) and she said "there is literally enough liquid pouring out of you here to fill up a jug, this is horrible".

omg

It was the WORST! :( And oh my god the smell.

I was scanning and for a minute I thought I read that someone upthread shits in their toenails. You filthy monkey.

Trayce's back-nappy story reminded me of this. About 12 years ago I developed axillary hyperhidrosis, which basically means the sweat glands in your armpits malfunction and you LITERALLY DRIP SWEAT, even on cold days. It got so bad that I took to ramming wads of tissues etc. up my armpits and sort of waddling around the office like a penguin. I thought I was getting away with it but one day someone asked me why toilet paper kept falling out of my shirt.

Yeah I have a little one on my neck but I think mine is a ganglia? it fills with stinky cheese, I squeeze it out, it goes away & comes back a few months later. No blood, no pus or liquid, just the smelly keratin stuff. Fun to squeeze! The smell, ugh.

http://clatl.com/binary/652c/1311716546-sometimes-they-come-back-movie-poster.jpg

?!

MWHAHAAHAHAH

In ~2006 I got a boil right above my right hip. It was extremely painful and my belt and waistband irritated it constantly. I was uninsured, so I did some Googling and learned that I had to lance it and take tetracycline antibiotics.

The lancing was NBD - I used a blade fro a disposable razor that I took apart and lanced it and SPEWED noxious smelling puss and almost-black blood onto the wall and the toilet. I didn't feel a thing but I still screamed through clenched teeth.

A week went by and it was clear that the abscess wouldn't heal, but I couldn't afford a doctor, so I found an online pharmacy based in New Zealand where I got a 90 day supply of tetracycline for $70.

What remains is prominent 1" scar.

Thank god for shady Kiwi pharmacies!

i picked bacne last night until it bled through the back of my shirt, then proceeded to pick at it all afternoon

I chew the shit out of my lips. All the time. Even when I'm trying not to, and even when have really good, healing lipcare stick that doesn't dry my lips out or create the stupid chapstick dependency...god the amount of lip skin I have absentmindedly ingested :(

Je55e, I don't know specifically about tetracycline, but in my experience antibiotics are pretty cheap, even without insurance. I was in a hurry to buy some antibiotics for my daughter last year and went to a pharmacy that wasn't covered by my insurance. They only charged me $16.

Also, in Duff McKagan's autobiography, he talks about getting fish antibiotics from the pet store to treat the clap in his early GnR days.

I kept thinking about all these exploding boils when I was trying to sleep last night. blech

Tetracyclines are probably ultra-cheap b/c they're old fashioned, I think. I guess the issue would have been the doc visit? IDK. I spent many years figuring that health care was not something I could have. TBF to 2006-Je55e, I couldn't have gotten an office visit + meds for $70.

Oh god the one time I visited the free clinic was beyond appalling. I went in for persistent chest and back pains and left b/c I felt like a drain on the wholly inadequate, terrifying, chaotic system.

I went to the ER instead and was diagnosed with pleurisy which sounds about as real as "imbalance of the humours" IMO.

Aside, this book to thread (it's quite interesting)

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51MyFZgStYL._SS500_.jpg

VG I chew on my lips too! If I get bits of flaky hangnail-esque skin that wont come off, I worry at it with my teeth til it does. Sometimes I get carried away and end up with a bleeding lip for some time ow.

Wonder twins...ACTIVATE :)

Can I be a triplet in the trinity of lip chewing?

welcome!

I chew my cats' lips.

I chew my kantlips.

(backs away)

Limber!

daaaaammm tha boogah ws goood

<3

omg ew you did not just

I forswear reading this thread

topper to end all toppers: my roommate apparently has the dude she's banging deposit used condoms in a plastic bag in her room; I know for a fact that she hasn't put anything in our trash cans for at least two weeks.

so there's a bag of used condoms hanging from the drawer of her bedside table

That's fucking rank. Is this the crazy one? She's hoarding semen now? I think it's time to find a new roommate.

she thinks she's being nice, because she doesn't want me to happen upon a jimmy hat in the bathroom trashcan or something - she's just such a slob that taking out her bag o' condoms doesn't occur to her

Is that bad? I've def thrown them in my normal garbage and then not emptied it for...a while. I mean my bedroom garbage is almost exclusively tissues and little bits of paper and cigarette and gum packaging, it's not like it's going to rot overnight.

Well I'm assuming she's going through a lot and that there's at least 28 in some bag and that's sort of not too far from cigar box territory.

what does she do with used tampons?

Twenty-eight? Did I miss an actual number being used somewhere?

It's not cigar box anything, condoms are their own air-tight plastic bags, once they're wadded up and folded over a couple of times. I don't have a problem with this, per se, I guess.

and if they're in a larger plastic bag, i dunno -- it doesn't seem _that_ gross

Idk he said two weeks and I assumed she was doing a lot of screwing. Oh wait that's 2x a day. NM - it's probably not that many. I guess it just seemed weird that she had bag specifically for used condoms. Maybe it's not so bad.

Haha yeah, that would be kind of a lot! If she had a day job or anything else to do, I guess, although maybe she doesn't. I can't imagine having the time.

gtfo of course that is gross

x-post - LOL, no and definitely not keeping up at that pace everyday for two weeks. I do think it's still at least somewhat icky.

the only potentially gross thing i see about it, and it's more weird than gross, is the idea that it makes it transparent to the dude that she's getting with a bunch of dudes and not just him.

only one dude, probably not that many condoms

Maybe it would seem less gross if she wasn't such a slob about leaving food out and stuff. It's just the combo of ranch dressing and cheese laying out for days at a time along with the bag of curdled semen that icks me the fuck out. And our trash runs twice a week, it's literally one minute of time to take the bag and put it in the kitchen trash can and tie that bag up and put it outside.

also that she told me she has a condom depository in her room, cuz I don't need to know that shit

The food and oversharing problems are way grosser to me. Way.

don't have a problem with the oversharing, the ranch dressing otoh = gross

designated used condom bag hanging from desk drawer: YES THAT IS GROSS.

imo

I have left condoms in a hotel room drawer overnight (staying in a hotel suite w/ lots of people, no trash can in room, didn't want to put on clothes to leave the room). But as soon as there was a chance, they went in the trash can and had stuff put on top of them. Don't think it's that difficult tbh.

What kind of fleabag hotel doesn't have trashcans in the room?

I vote, Yes, it IS *that gross*.

that's sort of not too far from cigar box territory.

lolol

actually no, i meant: lol/sob

I remember once finding a condom in my room (used) that had somehow not gotten disposed of properly like a month prior. had to wait for hazmat suit to arrive from eBay but finally disposed of it

5 minutes ago

Haha yeah, that (2x/day) would be kind of a lot! If she had a day job or anything else to do, I guess, although maybe she doesn't. I can't imagine having the time.

I can't imagine having the stamina....

twice a day is easy at the start, but definitely gets more difficult after a few months..

I had one ex who liked to go 4-5 times a day. felt like boot camp. and yes Lee and electricsound otm.

I wish life was always a first date. I've had a few 24 hour periods where we've rolled around 12+ times*...once with a friend who was just too large to be comfortable but when the opportunity presents itself..

*who knows about the finishing, I count by the starts..

I don't like sex enough to do it 4-5 times in a day frequently. like once in a blue moon, but good lord it starts to feel like work after a while

Well, yeah. I'm married now so all wild nights are distant memories. Ahhh, my loose woman days...good days.

I could easily do 3 or 4 times in a night but it would be RIP Mr Veg, lol

might not be the only thing that ripped

facepalm

ouchie

sex injuries are the worst

plus it's not like your partner is gonna let you go on the disabled list

Last long-term relationship, we kept up a steady 3-or-more daily, but we were both broke (no money to do anything, so it was lay on the couch, start getting handsy, have sex, go back to the couch, repeat until bed time) and it seems didn't particularly like each other.

I will be heartbroken when 3/day is no longer doable for me physically, tbh.

When you say "long-term" what exactly do you mean because while 3x a day may be great at first it def isn't sustainable in the long run i don't care how into each other and/or sex you are.

for real

seriously 3 times a day would have me constantly sore

Two years, roughly - first year was a weird friends-with-benefits situation (neither of us was sexing anyone else), last year we were actually dating.

Yeah jesus I dont think ive kept that up even in the first throes :/

to clarify, not every night - that last year, we were probably together 3-4 nights on an average week, it wasn't a live-together situation

Oh ok thats diff.

seriously 3 times a day would have me constantly sore

RIP jim

i am old

I wish life was always a first date. I've had a few 24 hour periods where we've rolled around 12+ times*... ......

*who knows about the finishing, I count by the starts..

I should start counting that way! (the older i get, the wider the start/finish ratio becomes...)

I like pizza. I really like pizza.

But i don't like pizza 3x/day....

I am hovering around the edges of this thread, trying to decide whether discretion is the better part, etc. Probably I should just go to bed, but thanks everyone for yr entertaining and ultimately reassuring grosseties.

Do it, do it!

ok, gross post coming up, don't look if you don't want to see it

i mean it's not that bad

but it's my chin with stitches sans band-aid

here's the deal

(all of this is providing a buffer zone so people won't have to see the somewhat gross (but not really that bad imo) picture unless they don't want to

want to, i mean.

here's the deal, i have a okcupid date thing tonight (not the girl i'm completely stoked on but someone else fyi tmi) and i've been told that i should just ditch the giant band-aid because it's more distracting than anything and ends up drawing more attention than it would if i'd just go without the band-aid. so i took it off. there was a big bloody scab so i peeled away the dry gooey blood. the problem is that one, the remaining part is still kinda bloody and gross, and two , i had to shave because i looked really shabby in all the wrong ways, but i couldn't shave on the stitched up part so there's a tiny little grove of hair there, just to draw even more attention to it.

so here are two pictures, the normal shot of what it looks like to be sitting somewhat close to me, and the close-up gore cam:

http://i39.tinypic.com/u4w3m.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/25fnd4l.jpg

I am trying to be grossed out but all I can do is admire your neck.

and now with band-aid:
http://i42.tinypic.com/207rpmt.jpg

i should just wear the band-aid, right?

dammit abbbbbottttt, this is serious business

the bandage looks p silly, like a teenager trying to hide a zit
the other looks like your every day bike scrape

that's what the barista told me yesterday.

If you'll worry less about grossing someone out with the band-aid, wear the band-aid imo. Goal: worry about as few things as possible

I mean you wear the band-aid, "hi i'm z s, soz about the band-aid, this is how I did it..."

a. instant sympathy
b. awesome ice-breaker

sans bandaid works for me, but I am not grossed out

cute as a banged-up bug either way <3

i'm so conflicted!

jeez thanks, btw

:( sorry xp

wear the bandaid

i can relate as i split my chin in the london underground 4 yrs ago and also had to have 3 stitches

You could wear it, but you could also not wear it, TAUTOLogy help

i was really hoping for some consensus. argh. fwiw, i warned the person earlier today that i may be gross and she replied "no worries, i doubt it will gross me out"

i warned the person earlier today that i may be gross

"How not do it", by Z S, 7th ed.

yeah it doesnt look that bad at all! I was expecting goo and blood. But then again I was a bit distracted by Z cuteness too, sry.

look, AA is right. Whatever option worries you least. You are more than yr chin!

oh, either way i'm not going to worry once it get going. i enter a bizarre land of confidence when i'm in high pressure situations, wish i could be that way all the time but it only pops up when i really need it, i guess. but no, the goal is just not to look gross, or to look less gross

your chin is magnificent
do not wear the bandaid

I'd bandage it, but I'm easily grossed out. And always feel like other people are going to be grossed out by my cuts/etc..

I mean you wear the band-aid, "hi i'm z s, soz about the band-aid, this is how I did it..."

a. instant sympathy
b. awesome ice-breaker

I vote this

well, there's also the matter of my gross left hand, but i feel selfish even bringing it up

except that "how i did it" is less "i protected a little old lady from a surprise attack by a bunch of teenage rough housers and took a blow to the chin from a crowbar that was cowardly thrown by the gangs leader" and more "i was drunk and fell on my face"

think i'm gonna go without, and carry a spare bandaid in my pocket. in the event of a severe gross out (doubt it'll happen) i can always be like "the bandaid fell off on the bike ride over)

nothing like completely overthinking everything!

Wear an unfurled turtleneck.

time to bust out the space helmet

Z S if you want, I'll show up and pretend to almost slip on a banana peel but at the last second you dive and fling the banana peel away

hahahahaha

or just poll her at the restaurant: "with the bandaid" (holds up bandaid to chin) or "without"? and she will say "I don't care kiss me you fool" etc. I REST MY CASE.

^that's actually a good idea

anyway you're nowhere near as gross as me: I had to buy ringworm cream AND athlete's foot cream. For myself. You sir, are dating. Which puts you firmly in the W column :)

go with a spongebob squarepants band-aid. then go to the bathroom 20 minutes into the date and switch it for a hello kitty bandaid. refuse to acknowledge the switch.

ooh that's good.

Put a fake scab on the other side, then 1/2 hr in just rip off the fake one without any warning

Tell her you think she should kiss it better!

...ew wait no maybe not.

eww

I mean ZS is cuet but that's just a bridge too far

1st pic: your hairline is so awesome I didn't even notice your chin

2nd pic: I'd probably wear the bandage but it's not seriously gross or anything as it is. Key thing is that it's temporary; if your date is freaked out about it band-aid on or off, red flag. If not, good portent.

3rd pic: that's how i look after most of my dates......

well, it didn't go well at all, but nothing to do with the grossness!

:(

eh, it's ok, the girl i'm REALLY excited about is tomorrow afternoon! i feel like such a jerk doing the multiple dates in a week thing but it's online dating and almost everyone seems to have severe problems when you meet them in person, so it seems good to have a backup plan

iirc it's why you jump with 2 parachutes

you have nothing to worry about
think about whether or not you like them

for real

oh, i'm not worrying at all. i'm not excited at all about either of the people i saw this week, although they were both nice enough. i have high hopes for tomorrow, but if that doesn't work, whatever. i never ever want to settle

I'm not too gross, I only pick my own nose.

i feel like such a jerk doing the multiple dates in a week thing

I have this issue with a guy Ive met on okc who I really like (and he see,s to like me) but hes all "oh I already had a succesful date w/someone else this week I feel like a heel so I cant say this'd be a date" which is soooo frustrating cos I like him a lot, but this is more for the okc thread anyway carry on chaps

I had to buy ... athlete's foot cream

the other week I diagnosed myself w/athlete's foot so I bought the cream and used it for a week and it made no real difference, so then I had to wonder "ok, did I misdiagnose myself or do I actually have the worst athlete's foot in the history of feet and should go to the doctor", but I decided to assume the former since that didn't involve doing anything

(foot is mostly fine now without me doing anything)

but I am p. gross in general and also my washbag is a graveyard for half-used tubes of cream of varying ages against various embarrassing conditions so I hope nobody ever looks in it

PS good luck w/today's date Z S

tell her we said hi

yeah good luck Z S!!

B-)

Too late, but it'd be a shame to waste an opinion: Band aid is a good look except that the middle padding part stands out. For aesthetics and healing, may I recommend a hydrocolloid bandage - no contrasting pad, heals much more quickly and with less scarring, and available at your local chain drug store.

I had a bump on my back that I squeezed and this stuff with the consistency of soft cheese came out. I'm guessing it was a blackhead, so gross.

was the cheese white, or yellow? smelly or not smelly?

gross is all in the details, milo :)

Possibly a sebaceous cyst! Those are exciting.

otm

Mine hasn't come back yet. So stoked about life.

dealing with gross toe fungus!

yaaaaaaay!

I have a spot on my back that has a recurring ingrown hair -- I scratched at it for so many years that there's a bit of scar tissue back there, and that one hair and surrounding dead skin accumulate as a hard mass. About once a year that grain of rice is ready to harvest and I get my wife to dig it out with a penknife or tweezers. It feels great when she catches hold of it and pulls it out.

I usually use a sharp pin sterilized with rubbing alcohol rather than a penknife to work the ingrown hair free - I find it's less obtrusive to surrounding skin than a knife - before using tweezers to pull the hair out. I sometimes need to keep an alcohol pad handy to wipe the skin if it bleeds, but nonetheless, having a painful ingrown hair pulled out is one of life's unsung small pleasures....

yep, just looked up sebaceous cyst - definitely what it was
cottage cheese + funky odor

There is a thread for this: Cysts

sentences that single-handedly demonstrate the all encompassing monster that ILX has become.

I have what I guess is a sebaceous cyst on my neck, mentioned itt way upthread. Though my doc called it a ganglia. It gets full of stinky cheese once or twice a year, not v big, squeeze it out and it goes back to normal. It doesn't hurt or bleed or anything.
the cheese is gross. but secretly I think it's kind of fascinating in a grody kind of way.

I kind of dig getting rice grains stuck in my sinuses, it feels good to snort them out and eat them

sometimes I get these little... growths? I don't know how to describe them, except that I can scratch at them, and they'll come out, and leave a little 'socket' behind. sometimes I get a nice big one and it leaves a little hole behind that's big enough to be dark (i.e. light can't get in). feels good

I love rubbing neck acne

I just looked at a carton of whole milk and though "buttwhole milk" that's how gross I am.
