Billionaires. You don’t get that much money without seriously ruining some lives.
“I sneezed and wiped some snot on my sleeve, my wife found it disgusting and I thought it was normal,” they share.
When it comes to their own tolerance for gross things, they say that not much phases them. “I’m pretty hard to gross out.”

People monetizing their kids on YouTube.
Spitting. I feel physically ill when I witness someone hawking and spitting in public or see spit sitting on the pavement.
No one is safe from other people’squestionable habits, especially not in the office. Online printing company Instantprintsurveyed1,000 UK employees to uncover the hidden truth about coworkers grossest habits.
Not washing your hands after going to the bathroom. Nasty.
The sound of people chewing.
Children with food on their face. And snot.
Only 16% of respondents revealed that theywash their handsregularly at the office, and a whopping 19% confessed to rinsing them solely after using the bathroom. It’s worth being cautious about who you shake hands with!
Employers paying new hires more than tenured employees. Having drastically different pay rates for people with similar credentials doing the same job.
5 foot long eyelashes.
Unkept beards.
It seems that not everyone learned the pandemic lesson, as 39% of employees said that they would still come to work if they had a cold. However, it’s not all that bad, with almost 60% of respondents having tissues on hand, 41% always having sanitizer, and 30% bringing deodorant or perfume to work.
People. Seriously, we are gross.
Long nails.
Lip fillers.
Spitting, coughing without covering mouth. I have multiple sclerosis. Get sick really easy.
When someone else ‘washes’ my dishes for me and I drink from a ‘clean’ glass and it smells of rotting food and I look at my sponge and it’s covered in food because someone thought that smearing food around my dishes with a sponge somehow made them clean you’re all fired I never want to see you again.
On colder days when my dad walks the dog he’ll sometimes hold the dog poop bag in his hands to warm his hands.
Smacking gum. I hate it. And loud chewing/swallowing noises.
Not washing hands before a meal. You have been in filth and you are going to touch your food with those hands? Yuk.
Sitting on a warm toilet seat.
Washing dishes in a tub of soapy water and not rinsing off the soap suds. Or not scrubbing the outsides of pots and pans as well. Makes me want to vomit. I’d rather not taste stale soap and bacteria in my cup of tea or food thanks. I can always tell as well.Holy s**t thanks for the 1000 upvotes. I’ve never had a post get this many upvotes.
Leaving the toilet seat up when flushing.
Talking while eating. You get to see the inside of their mouth, and its disgustingJust eat and swallow the food and then talk 🙄.
Spitting, especially loogies. I literally almost throw up when I see someone doing it.
Licking their fingers to turn a page. Turns my stomach!
Wearing those big a*s engagement rings and never properly cleaning them. Especially in a hospital, nobody should be wearing anything below the elbow for good hand hygiene. I can’t imagine how many germs live between all those diamonds that now are spreading to my patients. Just take it all off, leave them at home!
I see so many videos of people letting their cats walk all over their kitchen counters and I want to vomit. Do these people think their cats are washing their paws and butts after they use the litter box?
Blowing out birthday cake candles. Here let me blow my spit all over this cake, then cut it up and expect everyone to eat it.Instead we should do a sheet cake for all and a cupcake with candle for the blower.

Expecting their older kids care for the younger siblings without consideration of the older kids desires and wants.
Heat/fan hand dryers in public bathrooms. Yuck.
When people don’t wear underwear under their gym clothes. I don’t care who you are, you better be wiping the seats of the equipment off because you know you got your liquids on it.
Kissing pets in their mouth.
Posting uncensored pictures,videos or text messages of other people online to make fun of them.
Biting your nails as an adult, I get that it can be self-soothing behavior, but it still grosses me out. Was in a meeting yesterday, in person, 75 people. The lady next to me was playing with her nose and biting her nails non-stop and I was repulsed.
PregnancyLike how can women be OK with this?I just don’t understand.
Going to the toilet in front of your partner. What the hell is up with that? So gross.
Wearing sneakers without socks. Ugh! The sweat, stink.
Kids with food on their faces. Then making it worse, snot in front of you.
Shoes inside UK houses with carpetAt least on hardwood you can mop???
Using your phone in the bathroom seems very common and I don’t get it at all. I have never once felt the need to use my phone there, and it never even comes into a bathroom with me (unless I use a public washroom and have my purse, but then the phone stays in my purse).
Dog licks.
Long nails. Acrylic nails are fine imo but naturally long nails that are yellow, crusty and not filed are not okay.
Touching the toilet seat to bring it up or down. I need to wash my hands immediately or I convulse in disgust lol.
Passing your vape to anyone and everyone who asks.
Family/friends talking about their poop. When they poop, or that they can’t poop, or their stomach aches and they need to poop. I don’t want to know about it.
People older than like 25 dating an 18/19 year old.
Shoes in house. Like wtf??
Washing other peoples dishes. No idea why but I hate touching them.
