Gross things that people do in public

    Ok, we've all seen nose picking, emergency crotch adjustments, underwear relocation etc, but I came across a new one today.

    Was in Eddie Rockets, and this lady was eating her chips. Instead of pouring some ketchup onto her plate, she was dipping it into the top of the bottle!

    Maybe she's really thrify, and didn't want to "waste" whatever was poured out onto the plate, but she was even double dipping (dipping, biting chip in half, and dipping again).

    Not exactly stomach wretching, but gross enough. Anyone else come across this eccentricity?

    Theres nothing wrong with this. Thats why it's an emergency!

    Ones genitals gets tangled, and one must readjust them.

    And there's nothing wrong with underwear relocation either! Boxers twisting every which way makes me want to burn things. I find a secluded place/toilet to do it though.
    Except for one time in New York, just got off the subway and was on the platform. The train took off, and the platform was empty save for the opposite side. So I stealthily stepped behind a pillar to hide me from the opposite sides' view and began the relocation. Half way through, another train arrives. EVERYONE on the train saw. I'm sure that brightened their day. That or the figured there was just one more perv in their city.

    Men who walk around or stand at bus stops, etc, with their hand down the front of their trousers - not a quick adjustment, I can understand the necessity behind that - just grabbing a handful in full view of the rest of the world .:eek:

    You're in the pub and are unfortunate enough to be sitting facing the gents and then to make matters worse, every second "gent" that emerges is doing up his fly right in you line of vision.

    Please lads, do it in the gents... and wash your bloody hands while you're at it!

    Or when the button on the front of your boxers opens and you dangle slightly.

    Awkward isn't the word for it.

    People who go to the W/C and don't wash their hands after, then dip their hands into the popcorn basket that we share at a bar/pub. Yuk!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭gucci

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes


    Spitting. Was a the bus stop this morning and one guy was constantly doing it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,346 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    What is it with all those little knackers and walking around with their hands down the fronts of their tracksuit bottoms ??? I've seen guys in their late teens doing this :eek:

    Is it some sort of fashion statement that I missed out on ?

    Men who put their finger over one nostril and force snot out of the other one. Disgusting.

    Was getting off the bus in college about 2 years ago and saw one guy do it but there was a bit of a breeze and the fool managed to get it all over himself.

    What a lovely image:D

    I think one of the most disgusting things is seeing people hurling litter out of car windows. For fecks sake, put it on the floor til you get to a bin instead of just flinging it out on the street.

    Personally id prefer to wash my hands in the sink but if the bogs your thing then OK.
    I cant stand it when people cough up phlem.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,587 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Spitting, it's disgusting, especially the ones who clear their throats and make it a big phlegmy one. Also the washing hands things. Especially when they walk out the toilet door just before you and you have to use the same handle their filthy hands have been on. I don't want my own willy germs on my hands hence the washing so someone else's is a milion times worse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,323 ✭✭✭gucci


    yeah and minging birds, i hate when sickos do those in public, when ur trying to enjoy a drink on a saturday nite or wait for a taxi and some sicko is playin tonsil hockey with jabba the hutt

    those inconsiderate bastards

    similar to the old smoking layout before the ban, maybe they should designate a large "non-fat" area in clubs


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,956 ✭✭✭layke


    On a night out many a time I have witnessed some one puke all over a bank machine much to the disgust of everyone else.

    But i'll have to agree with Peachy, snot rockets are just wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 25,006 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Fat chicks in belly tops *shudder*

    when you have to spit, you have to spit. unless he spits on you then its different.

    last time i had a chesty cough i had to spit every 5-10 minutes. what else can i do, swallow? that would cause me to puke all over the place, which is far worse.

    Farting.....how can people find it disgusting, like your **** doesnt stink. not farting can lead to serious stomach pains and tbh id rather not be in pain. sorry if i offend your delicate senses.

    Burping same.

    How do you 'need to spit'? I've never spat in my life. If I have a chesty cough, I cough, covering my mouth with my hand, then I wash my hands.
