How Gross Are You?

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!

...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.

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.

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

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.
