People dipping their dirty greasy fingers in a glass of water at a restaurant instead of getting up and going to wash them properly!

Gross
 

Stinky people gross me out. I was just in the grocery store and next to me was a family that stank (B.O.) so bad that I started gagging right there.

:bolt:

Hey not everybody can smell fresh as a daisy bud..LOL

True but that was super bad.

For real? Where are you eating? That's so not okay.

Nice places honest.......but perhaps it's something the 'older' generation does?

Not in my parts. But around her they do tuck hankies up their shirt sleeves and use them and tuck them back in.

Catholics Nuns were famous for tucking hankies up their sleeves but I'm pretty sure it was for blowing their noses!

Yes, that was the type of "use them" I was referring to. Nuns or not.

Total Gross-Out in the Library
 

I had an assignment due tonight, so I went to the library after class. It was very busy, but I found one spot left near the back in between two guys. I named the young man sitting to my left "Indigestion" and we'll just call the gentleman on my right "Heavy Breather." The reasons for the nicknames will become clear in a moment.

When I logged on to the terminal, I was surprised to see that apparently a woman had left in quite a hurry. She was clearly gone (I asked to be sure), but she was still logged in and there were documents still open the desktop. According to her login, her name was Rebecca.

It didn't take long to figure out why young Rebecca fled so quickly.

Indigestion started repeatedly honking his nose instead of blowing it. And it was loud. And oh, the belching! He belched and honked a symphony of not-so-sweet nothings right into my ear. I could practically taste his dinner. It was unbelievably loud and it was positively the most revolting thing I have ever been subjected to in public. Oh, the acoustics!

Not to be outdone, Heavy Breather was apparently very excited by all of this. Indigestion just kept chomping on chips. This was not ordinary belching; when you are belching like this, it's time to stop eating for a little bit.

Now, I know when I write I often use hyperbole to underscore my point (and to entertain), but this time I have understated the events that took place in that library this evening. The entire facility was abuzz about it. I still cannot quite accept that it wasn't one of those secret practical joke shows, lol.

My stomach is literally still turning just recalling it. (w)

People using their plate after a meal as an ashtray...

People still do that? Super gross.

SO true.................:giggle:

I too cannot stand stinky people. I run into a few in my line of work, and of course, out and about in my personal day. I have a quick gag reflex so I have to watch myself when I pick up the scent!

Some foods gross me out. I dont understand the affection for okra...or tapioca pudding. Both feel gross in my mouth and I will anything to avoid them!

People who leave dirty diapers in public places. I found one in a shopping cart once...grrrrrrr

Public restrooms..........

Getting a glass at a restaurant with a faint imprint of lipstick that the dishwasher failed to clean well enough:|

Finding sweat stains on a workout equipment

So very many things that it is hard for me to read this thread!

As my friends say to me:

"And you are an RN?"

Yep. I had a lot of faking it to do in nursing school (meaning I had to do the work but choke the nausea down sometimes).

Those tall people came in handy for standing behind during the surgical rotation!
