This is about the disgusting habits of my husband...or do the majority of men do this?

First gross habit: He picks his nose, pulls out a winner, rolls it up and flicks it onto the floor, sometimes it lands on the couch...gross.
Why not just get up and get a Kleenex???

Second gross habit: When he cooks (for the entire family) he likes to taste test...sounds okay, right? Well, it's not okay when he sticks the spoon down his throat like children do when they are licking cake batter from a spoon. Then he doesn't wash it off, he sticks the spoon right back into the food that we're all supposed to eat...gross.
Can't he at least rinse the spoon off?

Third and most annoying habit: I call this one the Captain Morgan Scratch. Whenever we are about to go to bed, he takes off his pants/shorts. He likes to sleep in his boxers...fine, I don't care. But every night without failure he props one leg up on the bed (the Captain Morgan stand), sticks his hand down his boxers and scratches like he has crabs. Most of the time he does this while I'm sitting on the bed, and it's right in my face. It's not just a little light scratch, he digs in. Sometimes I can't help but to laugh because I think most men would cringe if they saw him. And yep, you guessed it...he doesn't even wash his hands.
Sometimes he's on the couch with his hand down his boxers, and he's playing with it...I think, beats me...just take your hand out of your boxers.
The really gross part about his bad habit is when we had our first born. He used to scratch and then make her a bottle, without washing his hands!! I use to make up excuses so I wouldn't hurt his feelings, while not giving her the bottle. "Oh, look...I think I see something floating in her milk...I'll make her a new one!" To me it is the same as making a bottle with his butt cheeks. Finally one day I lied after getting back from the doctors office with our baby. I told him that the doctor said that it looked like she was getting an infection on the far back of her tongue...so we should be certain to wash our hands everytime we make a bottle.
Now what would happen if women did the Captain Morgan Scratch...disgusting, right? So to all the men out there who are guilty...STOP. Your woman doesn't like it, but she may be too nice to say that it's just gross.
My daughter begin to pick up this habit of sitting on the couch with her hand down her pants...I stopped that quick!!! I hope my son will never be the type to stick his hands down his boxers and do whatever it is men do.
At least take it to the bathroom!

My husband has gross habits...

Thanks for letting me vent...

    All really gross. I don't even know why we bother. I was recently talking to a man, and I soon found out that he loves to talk and walk around with a bluetooth in his ear. Well, he told me he was going to a public restroom so I asked him to call me back. He said no, and asked why and I told him it was gross, that I didn't want to hear him peeing....etc. Needless to say, my request went deaf ears and he pee'd anyway. Also, needless to say, I don't talk to him anymore. He was controlling and manipulative and that was just one example of him keeping me on the phone when I didn't want to be on it.

    Wow, ...what a waste...There is no way I could endure this lack of disrespect. No only for me, but for my children. Wow, when will he get it!?... When you stop excusing his nasty ways. Hmmm...? His example to your kids...how do you want to explain him!?

    I am sorry but I very nearly puked! If I had I would not have done it in front of you! I am sorry you are for now doomed to a man of lower breeding.

    Glad you got the chance to vent .

    What a horrible husband he is!!!

    Can I just check, does he beat you? Does he denigrate you? Is he horrible to you? Your family? Your child?

    Triviality at its nadir.

    My husband used to do the nose picking - one time I found buggers in the bed - it was truly revolting - my shocked disgust stopped that but the beard trimmings all of the sink and the urine drips on the toilet rim never end no matter how much i point out how fowl he is.. anyway this made me laugh thanks for sharing

    Youre not alone. My husband does all that and more. Sitting on the sofa bare arsed is one of my pet hates as well as sitting there with his hands down his pants and then picking up our kids or even stroking their hair. Yuck! The very worse though as he is a smoker is hocking up phlem. He does this mainly in the bathroom but I find it stuck to the side of the sink and the tiles around the shower. When he has a cold it can be anywhere as he does this and coughs without his hand over his mouth. Phlem is the worse and just makes me gag.

    I always though it was gross too... until I noticed that I was doing it myself. This is a subconcious thing guys are doing, like when dogs scratch their head!

    This is seriously the funniest thing I have read in a while... I just sat in my office laughing my *** off. Thanks... Oh and you have my sympathy, I realize I definitely have gross habits that must also annoy my significant others, I'll be sure to be more conscious of those...;)

    I feel your pain. Mine picks his nose like that, but he at least throws it/places it in the garbage. He doesn't do the Captain Morgan scratch, but he does have his hands down his pants (scratching/playing/whatever it is he does) while he is in front of the t.v. or his computer (sometimes he even does it in his sleep and since his hands are inside his shorts they stay there even after he is done doing whatever) and not wash his hands... sometimes he will do it right before he attempts to get my attention for sex. He also NEVER excuses himself after farting, even if it is bad enough to make himself gag from the smell.
