Grossest thing you personally know of.

I’ve just remembered a gross thing from my childhood ( am making date scones this does make sense) and was wondering if anyone can beat this ( although the dead mouse in my ugg boot comes close).

My parents used to own a delicatessen and they got dates imported from Iran ( or was it Iraq, anyway irrelevant). They came in a big box, and needed to be put into small plastic bags for sale. One day , my Dad was doing that and pulled out some false teeth. Like a whole row. I can’t ever eat dates again unless I cook them, then I figure any false teeth germs have been killed. Anyone got anything grosser? ( ed by me words)

There were possum guts at the park this week. Nothing left except for the digestive system and a bit of a fur. Kids i was with were fascinated! So I spent a bit of time trying to figure out what the bits were 🤣

Deli case full of rotten chicken pieces (drums, wings, breasts, etc.) from when the fridges had died overnight is the worst I can think of.

The smell was diabolical and it happened more than once. It’s nearly been decades but it lingers in my memory.

Might have just been topped by the hot chocolate that we just found 2 weeks later in my kids room 😅. That’s a bad smell!

I have gross things on the brain today. I’m on to naming the fish gross things now. 😆

Heyho2

I’ve got a photo of the possum guts if you want to see something gross?

NightHawk

Heyho2 I’ll show you mine if you show me yours (if I still have it)

Marmalade

Heyho2 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Heyho2

NightHawk

Heyho2 Same as you, but I have to find it in my camera roll. Could take a while.

Heyho2

When my two dogs were younger and sleeping in the laundry one winter’s night. I had already got up to let them out a couple of times as they were complaining. I was in the toilet around 4am and I was in the toilet which is right next to the laundry. I could smell terrible dog farts from in there but was too tired to investigate.

6am when DD went to let them out she came and told me she’d stepped in some dog poo. I was soooo tired. I walked in - one of the poor things must’ve had explosive diarrhoea and had sprayed liquid poo up the walls, all over the cupboards, washing machine let alone the floor. Some bits were thick, some were thin - the smell was putrid and overwhelming.

I had to clean it up. Luckily DH had a respirator mask which I put on as I think I honestly couldn’t have done it without it - that and a hose and gloves. God it was gross.

Another one - not quite as gross - when my sister and I were travelling around Oz many years ago and went on a bushwalk, came across a beautiful little river and sister decided to jump in - had no bathers so she went in her birthday suit. Jumped out screeching. There were leaches all over her - I helped her pick them all off, including the one nestled in the folds of her labia! We were both screaming.

Heyho2

CassandraNORI worst nightmare! I completely over reacted to a tick in my knee once. Completely freaked out. Leeches freak.me out too.

NightHawk

Heyho2 i think it’s on my old phone 😢

I had two photos because the next day it had moved and the tail was gone.

PuddingPlease

@CassandraNORI Oh that leeches story is horrifying, your poor sister, I don’t think I’d ever take my clothes off again.

Heyho2

This was literally just the digestive tract and fur… nothing else. No bones… nothing! Feel bad posting the photo in case anyone is squirmish. Learnt about possum digestion though. They have a fermentation chamber…

On the other hand, it couldn’t be scarier than the picture of George Christensen in the singlet with the stock whip. That whole thread needs a trigger warning.

Okay I’m sorry but I’m going to tell it. Don’t read this if you don’t want to feel mega sick.

A woman at work told me the most horrible story. She was visiting her sick father. He had lung cancer, and he had a lot of trouble with flem and lung gunk, so he had a cup by his bed into which he spat all the stuff from his lungs. She was in there with her 4 year old daughter and she was not paying attention and at one point, her daughter was licking her lips and the cup was empty. Cold flem. Cup of cold flem. ( I know that’s not how you spell it but the correct spelling makes me feel as sick as this story does. )

Wait, hang on! Is this personally only? In that case, one of the kids kept a spit collection. Yes, a bottle full of different spits. *heave*

Morrigan

OMG You win.

catbus

Morrigan nooooooooooo omg, that is THE WORST story I’ve ever read!!! Ergh, I hate phlegm, and mouths. I can deal with all other bodily fluids, but not phlegm!!

My grossest thing that comes to mind is DD self-extracting her tonsil stones, with her fingers or whatever pointy implement she could find. Then she’d come and show me them, up close in my face, knowing how much I hate anything mouth related. And the stench of them…. 🤮

Morrigan I am gagging at the thought. Really.

Gross thing of the day for me today was cleaning out my cottage fridge as poor step MIL slipped and fell last week resulting in a broken shoulder. She had food in the fridge which was WELL BEYOND it’s prime. Think science experiments. I gagged so hard. Poor step MIL is still in hosptial. I went to see her this afternoon and she mentioned the fridge. And apologised a thousand times when I told her what I found. At least we could laugh about it.

Heyho2

Marmalade tell me I win the next MMMMM show down or.the photo gets posted 😈🤣
