Disgusting Habits

Share your shameful personal habits, so I can feel less like a complete scummer.

I don't always shower daily. I sometimes miss a day if I'm not going out.
I sometimes re-use socks from my bedroom floor that don't smell, when in a rush.
I have a ball of blutack stuck on the bottom of my monitor, which I play with like a stress ball when on the computer. It was white about a month ago... now it's dark grey and sticky and little bits come off on my hands when I play with it.
I roll cigarettes and joints on my keyboard, putting the Rizla at the top between the number row and F-keys. When I'm out, I turn the keyboard upside down and bang it, then smoke whatever falls out.

Please tell me something that will gross me out less than reading the above and thinking, "god, you're disgusting."

Still missing you and wishing you would come on MSN even after this shocking display of reckless abandon.

That's nowhere near scabby enough. You don't belong here.

Of course, it'd be a different story if you swished your hands around in animal excrement first.

I neglect to shower for several days, so as to make any woman I come across want to avoid me.

I was talking to you! And to me, yes, yes it does.

I'm guilty of all the habits listed. Must be the pot. Although, I did stop smoking pot ages ago, the mentality never quite shifted back to 'normality'.

Guilty of both of those.

Also, I have a hideous habit of chewing plectrums, regardless of whose they are/where I found them.

My bedroom floor is interesting. A mixture of nearly-empty bottles, dirty clothes and books has replaced the conventional "carpet" look.

Germs are good for the immune system, AND the soul. People who are obsessed with hygiene are unnatural and have no genetic memory of killing an animal and eating it, RIGHT OFF THE FUCKING GROUND.

Not that I particularly care about germs, but, our immune systems have evolved significantly since then. I wonder if we are as adept at fighting off disease as we were before. (Either)

Life expectancy in the ages gone by was much lower than it is today. (Or)

Still, hygiene isn't on the list of priorities for me. Unless, it starts to bother someone else.

I like to chew on plectrums too. Sometimes, I pick them right off the floor, play for a bit, and stick it in my mouth whilst I roll a cigarette or retune/detune my guitars.

Guilty of the socks and not showering... But back in my school's finals days where i had to study 16 hours without taking a break, the not showering thing went for -lets say- more than several days =$
I still skip showering from time to time...

When i was a kid i used to bite my toe nails... They tasted funny...

Whenever i see a black cockroach, i stop to play with it, pet it and all
Can you call that disgusting?

I once left a sandwich in my school bag, it stayed there for two weeks, my books started stinking and when i got the sandwich out it didn't look like a sandwich... But that's not a habit... That's more of a scary stage of laziness

I eat off of plates I've just rinsed under the hot tap, and never wash my hands before cooking. I've slept in my own vomit more than once. Oh, and I also skip showers - but in my experience that's pretty normal. Anyway, my pheremones are like a magnet.

I am not a hygiene freak! *stamps foot* I'm sure I can think of something better...
Oh! I haven't changed my toothbrush in around a year and sometimes I'll go a week or two using the same bra, by just spraying it down with body spray. Haha!

I've been known to wear the same pants for up to seven days, provided that I haven't spilled anything on them, sometimes I take a few days to clean dishes, and like most people I occasional skip showering in the morning, especially if I have to get up earlier than usual.

Showering every day is a waste of water. I do it purely as a habit from living in a tropical country most of my life, and because in winter it's nice and warm...

I re-wear socks if I have to, and clothes. I wash my bras about once a month or less (don't like to fuck up their shape so I only hand wash them, and hand washing requires effort). They never smell though, somehow my tits just don't sweat.

I'll also eat food that's had animals going after it. Only pets, like if my cats decide to have a lick of my icecream. If they can sleep on my head drooling over my face I think I can handle a few molecules of their saliva in my food.

Hey on average cats and dogs both have cleaner mouths than people (though not if your dog has access to cow pastures and/or roadkill), I think it has something to do with naturally occurring bacteria, so eating something that you cat has licked really isn't any worst than sharing with a friend

I work out before heading in to work, and don't care to shower. They deserve me.

My room is a disaster area. There is half a cup of coffee sitting next to my couch that has copious amounts of mold growing in it. There are half-eaten bags of food everywhere, probably also moldy. The room is starting to smell like rotten food. I love it.

Also, sometimes I pick my nose. And I don't shower as much as the average person. And I don't cut my toenails very often. I eat food off the ground. One time I found more than half a cigarette sitting on the ground, not crushed and still smoking. I smoked it.

I wear my socks often for a week or more, most have holes in the toes and I seldom cut my toenails.
