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

dayo, Thursday, 13 January 2011 05:29 (thirteen years ago) link

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

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

strawberry shartcake (San Te), Thursday, 13 January 2011 05:40 (thirteen years ago) link

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

dayo, Thursday, 13 January 2011 05:45 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

strawberry shartcake (San Te), Thursday, 13 January 2011 06:07 (thirteen years ago) link

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

ciderpress, Thursday, 13 January 2011 06:12 (thirteen years ago) link

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

tbf explicitly gay albums aren't quite as cultural (the table is the table), Thursday, 13 January 2011 06:21 (thirteen years ago) link

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

strawberry shartcake (San Te), Thursday, 13 January 2011 06:35 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

a can, a mla, a nmutua ― (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 13 January 2011 07:53 (thirteen years ago) link

Yeah, that's gross.

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

Dr. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 13 January 2011 08:10 (thirteen years ago) link

hairy pits rule on all humans.

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

emil.y, Thursday, 13 January 2011 09:35 (thirteen years ago) link

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

Stargazey Pi (Trayce), Thursday, 13 January 2011 10:35 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

strawberry shartcake (San Te), Thursday, 13 January 2011 13:18 (thirteen years ago) link

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

strawberry shartcake (San Te), Thursday, 13 January 2011 13:19 (thirteen years ago) link

like Nell Carter being teabagged by Sherman Hemsley

strawberry shartcake (San Te), Thursday, 13 January 2011 13:19 (thirteen years ago) link

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 : /

kkvgz, Thursday, 13 January 2011 14:02 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

Moonlight Graham (chrisv2010), Thursday, 13 January 2011 14:47 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

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

― 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.

sarahel, Friday, 14 January 2011 00:07 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

Dr. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 14 January 2011 00:29 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Friday, 14 January 2011 02:12 (thirteen years ago) link

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.
