PECULIAR HYGIENE HABITS

(May, 2023) AskReddit posed the question, “What is the peculiar hygiene habit that you’ve developed?” Some of the answers:
– “When I shower I slowly rotate in a circle like some type of vertical rotisserie chicken.”
– “Squeegee myself with my hands in the shower to get most of the water off before I towel dry.”
– “I like to shower in complete darkness. Turn off the lights, block the bottom of the bathroom door with a towel, and just have a nice, long, hot shower. It’s incredibly relaxing, almost like a little nap with how warm it is and all the darkness.”
– “I cut my toenails only on the same day I’m vacuuming. The vacuum always gets them all.”
– “Am I the only one that trims their nails outside?”
– “Brushing my teeth in the shower.”
– “I have to put on eucalyptus lotion and body mist before I go to bed or I can’t sleep.”
– “I have a 30 min bedtime dental hygiene ritual. Take fiber supplement. Rinse. Floss thoroughly. Rinse. Brush teeth with electric toothbrush. Rinse. Water flosser. Rinse. Swish with fancy anti-acid fluoride mouthwash. Done. This came about as a result of years of bad oral hygiene which led to about $15k in dental work. I decided Never Again. Not so much as a cavity since, nor any further degrading of teeth.”
– “A girl I know would put a Q-Tip in her mouth and get it wet before putting it in her ear. I never asked why, I just left.”
– “After I break eggs, I always wash my hands with soap immediately afterwards. I don’t wanna catch salmonella.”
* Well, now I need a shower.
* The weird part? Six of these are the same person.
* At least these people are erring on the side of being clean. What you don’t want to hear is “I only wash myself on February 29 Leap Days.”
* What’s amazing is, you can see probably 60 percent of these behaviors on a public bus.
* PHONE TOPIC: Do you, or someone you know, have a weird hygiene habit? (WARNING: These can get gross real quick. Screen those calls!)
