People HIDE certain habits, often relating to their bodies, because they think it’s something they SHOULDN’T be doing. But if we are all secretly doing them, should they still be hidden?
People online are listing “disgusting habits” that they secretly think are actually 100% normal. And many of them probably feel relatable.
The most common responses include: Picking your nose or blowing snot into a sink, cleaning earwax with your fingers, peeing in the shower, and biting your fingernails.
But there are some less obvious answers too. Here are the highlights:
1. Smelling your armpits to see if you stink.
2. Licking your wrist and then smelling it to see if your breath stinks.
3. The “sniff test” on clothes. Picking a shirt up off “the chair,” smelling the armpits, and deciding it is clean enough for one more day.
4. Smelling your own farts.
5. Picking your scabs. Or popping your zits.
6. Wiping a runny nose on your clothing, like your socks, when you don’t have access to a tissue. Or sneezing inside of the collar of the shirt. (This seems less gross than sneezing into your hands, no? Unless it’s a LOT of goo.)
7. Smelling your boob sweat. Or the guy version, which is lower down.
8. Not showering every day. Specifically: On days that you’re working.
9. Eating over the sink, like a raccoon, when you don’t want to wash a plate.
10. The “five-second rule.”
11. Picking something in your teeth, then eating it again.
12. Licking chip dust off your fingers.
13. Licking the ice cream lid.
14. Someone said, “I blow my nose into my dirty laundry, t-shirts not underwear, and have never once bought a box of Kleenex.” (???)
15. “Thinking sexy thoughts about random attractive strangers.” (???)
