Strange habits • Page 5

@AelNire Do they say that because it pushes stuff deeper into your ear canal or because you could put the q-tip in too far? If it's the latter, that's super easy to avoid. I can't argue with the first part, though.

 

It pushes it deeper. WARNING: GROSS I have had SEVERAL patients like this and it's mainly because of Q-tips. The video won't link without showing the gross thumbnail so youtube ear wax irrigation disgusting.

 

I'll pass on that video lol. I'm sure I need that done, though.

Where's the puke emoji?

 

I know right. The 1st one I ever did I thought I was going to pass out. My sister has this problem just in general and when she gets really bad earaches she has to have a wash done.

 

Ugh.
I heard CVS does those cleanings. I'll drive to another state to do it so I can ensure I'll never see the doctor in passing again.


Back on habits, I've been trying to stop using Chapstick and it's brutal. A day goes by without it and my lips feel like reptilian scales.

 

I've heard you're not supposed to use q tips but no one has ever told me what to do instead

 

Yeah, I'm not buying that stupid ear vacuum from the infomercials either.

 

Own one, doesn't work worth shit.

 

Hydrogen peroxide is what I've been told to use. Good for swimmers ear, too.

 

dang and your face doesn't break out? Jealous! I wash mine twice a day obsessively. Once in a while I'll fall asleep without washing it first and I feel so gross when I wake up. I wear layers of makeup tho lol and if I don't wash my face twice a day I feel like the makeup is just chilling in my pores all day


Since this is becoming like the official shower/hygiene thread, I've heard a lot of debates on showering in the morning vs. night. Both have valid points imo but I have to shower at night cause I hate mornings and don't wake up early enough, plus I just love the feeling of being clean in my pjs and getting into clean sheets at night. Also I grew up in a house with 1 bathroom so I just started showering at night cause 5 people trying to shower and get ready in the morning was ridic

 

I shower in the evening during winter, otherwise my beard freezes, and I shower in the morning during the summer because I think it combats the smells that arise from the body due to heat.

 

@Kiana I shower at night so I can let my hair air dry.

@Dominick That's pretty funny about your beard freezing lol

 

It never occurred to me that beards freeze

 

I never shower at night, I'm always too busy watching Netflix or whatever until bedtime. I'm always running late for work though, so maybe I should

 

My beard retains moisture no matter how much I dry myself, so end up I getring beard-sicles when it is like twenty degrees and lower. It's just uncomfortable I guess. Glad I could educate you folks on the plight of freezing beards. Ha.

 

It should never be that cold. Ha.

 

@Kiana I get pimples every now and then but no full blown break outs. I rinse my face a couple times when I shower, but I cut back big time on the soap. No makeup, though, so that's gotta make a huge difference.

@Colby Searcy The part in the commercial where the dude's like, "I'm a doctor, and you shouldn't use a q-tip," makes me laugh every time. It's painfully obvious that someone who isn't a doctor wrote that line haha.

 

We have lowered the standard on strange.

 

yah my beard freezes but if i don't shower in the morning i feel gross, and i don't like going to bed with a wet head of hair so in the morning it is

 

My bed hair looks like

 

So like Wolverine?

 

Equinsu ocha.

 

oooh I forgot about the hair reason. That's another good one. It'd take me waaay too long to blow dry my hair every morning, and I try not to use heat on it much anyway.

 

-I get angry when mustard, pickles, or chopped onions are on my food.
-When I smoke the tree, I have to listen to 311 or Rob Zombie. Not sure why but it's what I've done ever since I started smoking it.
-I can't stand the word fresh. It literally makes my skin crawl when I hear people use it in a sentence.

 

That last post reminded me of Pivot's questionnaire from Inside The Actor's Studio. It doesn't necessarily fit 100% with the thread, but this seemed like the most appropriate place and works with some of the questions. So for those that want to do it:

1) What is your favourite word?
2) What is your least favourite word?
3) What is your favourite sound or noise?
4) What is your least favourite sound or noise?
5) What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
6) What profession would you never like to do?
7) What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
8) What turns you off?
9) What is your favourite curse word?
10) If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
