Perspectives and preferences vary widely among individuals. What some people consider gross, others may find perfectly acceptable.
A user asked the forum, “What’s something everyone finds normal but you find it to be gross?”. Let’s look at the top responses.
WEARING BIG ENGAGEMENT RINGS
“Wearing those big 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 are now spreading to my patients. Just take it all off and leave them at home!”
HOLDING DOG POOP IN HANDS
“On colder days when my dad walks the dog, he’ll sometimes hold the dog poop bag in his hands to warm his hands.”
NOT WASHING THE DISHES PROPERLY
“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.”
CHEWING SOUND
“The sound of people chewing.”
MONETIZING KIDS ON YOUTUBE
“People monetizing their kids on YouTube.”
SPITTING
“Spitting. I literally almost throw up when I see someone doing it.”
LICKING FINGERS TO TURN A PAGE
“Licking their fingers to turn a page. Turn my stomach!”
NOT WASHING HANDS
“Not washing hands before a meal. You have been in filth, and you are going to touch your food with those hands? Yuk.”
UNEQUAL PAY
“Employers paying new hires more than tenured employees. Having drastically different pay rates for people with similar credentials doing the same job.”
WEARING SNEAKERS WITHOUT SOCKS
“Wearing sneakers without socks. Ugh! The sweat stinks.”
KIDS AND FOOD
“Kids with food on their faces. Then, making it worse, snot in front of you.”
OFFICE COFFEE MACHINES
“The office coffee machine. In many places, there was vermin evidence that offices are not for food prep.”
EXPECTING OLDER KIDS TO WATCH YOUNGER SIBLINGS
“Expecting their older kids to care for the younger siblings without consideration of the older kids’ desires and wants.”
NAIL BITINGS
“Biting your nails as an adult, I get that it can be self-soothing behavior, but it still grosses me out.
I was in a meeting yesterday, in person, with 75 people. The lady next to me was playing with her nose and biting her nails non-stop, and I was repulsed.”
