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...

    I just joined and am trying to see how things work here, but I pity you. I would tell him nicely. Not that he would stop, but I would still tell him and also tell him that the kids are picking up his disgusting habits and making it their own! eww!

    All men scratch. "Captain Morgan"? That's hilarious. I don't think many men pose and dig for ball gold. But other than that, picking your nose and not washing your hands isn't hygenic. Of course I don't. But, on a sidenote, my junk is probably cleaner than my hands. After all, all day I touch things with my hands, while I don't use that part of me in the grocery store.

    So... was he doing these things before y'all said "I do"? If so, well perhaps love is blind!

    A few years ago, I was riding in a pick-up with a friend of mine. We were stopped at a stop light and my friend poked me and said look at that. He motioned to the small car next to it with some lady driving - she had her hand down her blouse, inside her bra, scratching one of her boobs. When she saw us looking she motioned for us to put our window down, and she did the same. She said "what's the matter, don't your balls ever itch?" My friend and I just looked at each other as she drove away. She was absolutely correct.

    personally, i just think men are genectially defective. they have no idea how unhygenic they look or how stupid and gross they look. also most men look slimmmmy. like have they had a bath or shower in the last month?? even if they have teeth missing they think they're god's gife. hahahaha. when are the women they're with going to realize they are just stupid, dirty, slimy, uneducated, motherFu....s that will never change. (but they think they can get the beautiful, clean, proud, discrimating woman. men are so stupid that they will never realize it's a two way street. if she is looking for someone who takes care of himself, she assumes he is too. moral of story....clean up u guys, u look creepy

    My husband has similar gross habits. The one that really grosses me out is after he coughs up some mucus or blows his nose he will say "oh, look at that" and then try to show me. Me -- I say, "Get that away from me, that's gross!!!
