Uggh. I just went to get a coffee. There was a young woman in line ahead of me. Well dressed, very normal looking. She started digging around in her ear with her little finger. I thought she was just scratching it but she appeared to remove a little wax. She looked at it. Then she smelled her finger! Then she licked it!! I could only squirm and grimace behind her in silence.
Have you seen strangers do gross things like this out in public?
she didn’t lick it. you’re obviously making this up.
one characteristic of (most) guys is that, when in bed and farting, we have to give it a smell. i assume it’s to sample the wares and to say “yeah, that’s bad. i’m cool for making THAT smell”. and of course, our own booty burps smell kinda pleasant, but we can turn green and throw pointy metal objects at anyone that dare invade out nose with their pungent aroma.
…not that i do anything like that…looks around nervously, picking his nose
…she LICKED it? awww…that’s bad. smelling it would be bad enough…i can’t even imagine what it’d taste like. (underline “imagine” about 4 times, please)

I thought I was gonna die!

I wish I was! She tried to do it kinda discreetly, like a tiny lick very quickly. I don’t want to imagine what it tasted like. Or smelled like. Thank you. My coffee craving wasn’t as strong after that. With cream in it, it’s close to the colour of earwax, ya know? (why don’t we have a barfing smiley yet, for Og’s sake?)
be a pioneer, miss floozy. take one for the team!
…you know where i’m going with this…
dig out an ear goblin and touch it to the tip of your tongue…
don’t be greedy…think about US. what about OUR needs…OUR wants…
we must know whether or not this is a bad thing or not and you are just the woman to do it.
we have faith in you and god dammit, we like you…and we wouldn’t wish anything BAD on someone we didn’t like…would we?
It’d probably be somewhere between a candle and a surfboard.
I used to work at a cosmetics counter, and we always had QTips on the counter for makeup application. You wouldn’t believe how many people would grab a couple and casually clean their ears while they talked to us. And then they invariably would try to hand the nasty used QTips to us, and ask us to throw them out. Um, no.
Although that’s still not as bad as the woman who stood there and *picked her nose * with the QTips.
It seems like every day on the subway I see people cleaning their ears, or picking their noses, or cutting their nails, or shaking out their dandruff, or picking at their skin and throwing it on the floor. Didn’t personal hygiene used to be, ya know, personal? Also, while I’m here, when did spitting become socially acceptable? Did I miss a memo?
It’s going to take a lot to top my neighbor masturbating his dog.
Hmph. I’ve done this…ear goblins taste kind of tangy like lemon meringue, in the same way that boogers taste hearty like beef stroganof.
You’re all with me on this right? Right?
Oh yeah, I saw a guy walk out of a 7-11, sit on the curb, open up a packet of raw bacon and eat it strip by strip. The cold bacon fat was soon visible in his beard from my vantage across the street.
That is gross. Everyone knows that you’re not supposed to smell or lick ear wax. You’re supposed to roll it into a little ball with your thumb and forefinger and then flick it. 
Yes, tasting one’s earwax is nasty (better than someone else’s, though), but I too would like to mention spitting (or “hocking a loogy”). What is the reason for this? It’s totally disgusting to be walking behind someone and then to hear and see them expectorate in public. I mostly see men do this, but women may do it too. It grosses me out immensely.
Y’all ain’t seen gross until you’ve worked at a bank. Every day we’d issue a new passbook for Mr. R, and every day he’d bring in the previous day’s passbook soaked with urine.
This one day? A customer gave a teller lunch. Used lunch. All over the teller’s window. When the manager tried to clean it up, she knocked a pen-on-a-chain off the counter, which swung around and flicked a little chunk of used lunch right into her mouth.
No, I’ll tell you what color ear wax is. It’s the exact color of the acorn squash I had at dinner last night.
:-D=@ I barf smiling.
It’s easier to post a link than to retype the whole thing, but in essence, I watched a guy secure and eat boogers in public.
Lunch time!
She only tasted it? My great aunt in law used to use earwax as lip balm. Try that on for size.
Some minds are used to unravel the mysteries of the atom or develop complex philosophies and theorums, while others work best as Tupperware.
I was trying to come up with the appropriate words to respond to this. But the truth is there are none. So I think this picture says it all. (not me in the pic)
I’d only do it for money. Lots and lots of money.
In the name of science, I conducted an experiment.
It’s extremely bitter.
