We often do things in our everyday lives that are normal but kind of weird and maybe a little gross if you really think about it. If you’re confused about what I’m referring to, there is an entire Reddit thread filled with these “normal gross things.” Here is what some people shared:
1.
“Licking their fingers to grab something they hand over to you, like money or their ID (I work in retail).”
2.
“People who talk and are unaware of a little spit collecting at the corners of the mouth. Yuck. I cannot!”
3.
“Having to breathe the air that is hot from too many people being in a space. It is the worst.”
4.
“The dried milk that forms a crust of horror in and around the cap of the milk jug.”
5.
“This only mildly grosses me out because body functions have to happen, and I just find a way to deal with it — sitting on a toilet seat right after someone has just used the same toilet seat, and it’s still warm. I saw a meme once that said, ‘What it feels like to sit on the toilet right after someone else,’ and the picture was of a naked butt sitting down on top of another naked butt. That’s all I think about now when I sit on a warm toilet seat.”
8.
“The feeling of wooden popsicle sticks on my tongue. Ice cream on a cone? Fine. But those wooden sticks? I’d rather go without dessert than deal with that sensation.”
9.
“Sneezing or coughing directly into the air with no attempt to cover their mouth or nose.”
11.
“This is so dumb, but sopping wet hair on dry skin or dry hair on wet skin. It makes me gag.”
12.
“The weird bits in meat. If I chew something that doesn’t feel right, it’s ruined. I can’t eat anymore after that.”
13.
“Spitting on the ground. Or even worse, clearing their nose by blowing snot out of one nostril. I blame soccer players.”
14.
“Outside clothes on my bed.”
15.
Lastly, “The feeling of pantyhose/tights. It makes my skin crawl! It’s similar to microfiber cloths. Also, washing the dishes in the sink and touching a wet piece of food!”
