Gross Things All Men Secretly Do

1. The quicker the wee, the better the bubbles...

Image source Daily StarMales have so many more bad habits than the female sex, not to mention strange ones.  Why is it that they like to direct the flow, when visiting the little boys' room?  They seem to take pride in filling the whole toilet bowl with froth from their urine.  Apparently, the quicker the wee is released, the better the bubbles..

2. Turning them inside out is the same as washing them, right?

Image source Women's HealthWomen are so organised compared to men.  When it comes to laundry, they pop almost everything they have worn that day in the basket and will have made a mental note of when the bedding was last changed and when it's due to be freshened up again.  Not men.  They will turn their pants inside out to get an extra day out of them and as far as the bedding is concerned, unless the pillow cases stand up on their own, there's no point in wasting water and electricity.

3. The sink is fair game!

Image source PinterestStill on the toilet theme (because that's the main thing you would associate with men and gross behaviour), they are a law to themselves when desperate to relieve themselves.  Any respectable person would use the bathroom but, no, not men who want the easy option.  If there is a kitchen sink available and it's not filled with dishes (please, no) then they don't see anything wrong in peeing in there and running the tap for 2 seconds to make the sink hygienic again.

4. Have a sit down...

Image source PinterestWhen a man can't be bothered to stand up to pass water (how can that be possible) he will take the lazy option and sit down on the toilet.  Because the male anatomy isn't formed to do this easily when seated, drips of his pee are left on the seat.  Typical male behaviour means he won't wipe them up afterwards.

5. A Close Shave

Image source GofatherhoodCleanliness is next to godliness unless you are a man.  In their opinion, the saying should be changed to 'stop nagging or else'.  When they are having a shave in the sink the residue of their stubble is left to decorate the basin.  How difficult is it to clean up afterwards?  Obviously - very difficult!

6. Nasal Hygiene

Image source FreepikIf you need to blow your nose you reach for a tissue or a piece of toilet paper, right.  This statement is alien to a man who will wait until he's taking his fortnightly shower, release the contents from his nostrils on to his hand and rinse off  the snot (apologies) so it goes down the plug hole.

7. Examining The Evidence

Image source Daily MailAnother revolting habit that is less than gentlemanly is when they pick their nose and examine it closely.  That's not the worst of it.  There's a good chance they will flick it and it will land on the carpet or, if it's Friday 13th, it will land inside one of your fluffy slippers.

8. Mop Or Sock?

Image source Freerange StockIf your man is having a night in on his own while you escape his bad habits for a catch up with your friends. you'll probably leave him some dinner to heat up when he can find the time to eat it during his 4 hours of video gaming.  If he drops a bit of his meal from his fork on to the floor, he doesn't want to waste precious time clearing up so he will likely clean the area with his sock and put his trainer or slider back on afterwards.

9. Toothpaste On The Enamel

Image source PinterestThere is nothing as annoying as when your male partner brushes his teeth (at least he's done that) and a bit of toothpaste drips on to the side of the enamel sink.  It wouldn't cross his mind to clean it off which takes seconds.  He will leave it until it will eventually harden and look totally gross.

10. Possible Food Poisoning

Image source Dreamstime.comWhen you are both enjoying a Saturday night Chinese takeaway, you may well have over ordered with 4 main courses, rice, noodles, spring rolls, spare ribs etc.  If you want to eat the leftovers the next day, you'll stick them in the fridge, covered over and head off to bed.  A man will leave everything exactly as it is, wake up on Sunday afternoon and finally get round to devouring the food, even though the sun has been on it for hours, it feels warm and might taste a bit 'iffy'.

11. Farting

Image source Punch NewspapersPassing wind (it sound's less gross) is a hobby for most men.  They don't care who hears the noise and are even proud to admit the silent but deadly unbearable odour was from them.  They also do a disgusting thing if they are sat down by moving their posteriors off the chair when they fart and then sit back down again.

12. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Image source BusterWhen women wash or comb their hair, any loose stragglers are instantly placed in the bin.  If they shave their legs in the shower, every trace of hair is rinsed off and the plug hole cleaned.........so why the heck can't men do the same?  They shed chest hair, pubic hair, general body hair and hair hair!  Is it a manly thing to leave it where it has landed?  It is nearly always down to the female to de-hair everywhere.

13. Slight Adjustment

Image source Best LifeMen are always adjusting their 'package' and they do it in public as if it's the most natural thing in the world.  When they're walking down the street, they will have a little shake to release it and when they are wearing tight jeans they will physically touch it through their boxers to re-arrange it.

14. Eating On The Job

Image source ShutterstockThis is totally gross but you have to accept it goes on all the time.  If a man is eating his McDonald's double cheese burger and he's bursting for a wee, he will visit the gents and with one hand unzip his jeans and hold his burger bun with the other hand.  After relieving himself, he'll shake off with the one hand, the burger still dry and intact in the other - ugh!

15. Public Exposure

Image source Men's HealthAs much as I don't want to, I think the issue of a man needing to release a sperm filled bodily fluid from his genitalia, will have to be addressed and then we can get it out of the way with.  Especially if he's unaccompanied (!!), he will wipe it on the nearest suitable thing and if there isn't anything around, he might use a tea towel or a sock.  There. I've said it now!

16. Face Facts

Image source FreepikBefore a date or a night out with his mates, a guy will become all metrosexual.  The face pack will be applied, he'll moisturise and maybe even apply a little fake tan.  However, on a day to day routine he probably won't even splash his face with water in the morning.  The most he will manage is to wipe the 'sleepies' from his eyes (hopefully).

17. Neglect Their Feet

Image source Live ScienceWomen's feet are usually soft, with manicured and painted toe nails.  Men, on the other hand, are from another planet when it comes to their 'plates of meat'.  The worst thing they do, when the toe nails are so long they are curling over, is to cut them in the living room and let the nails fly across the carpet.  They don't even think of picking the bits up. Men also have a habit of asking their partners to smell their feet to see if they are unpleasantly odorous.

18. Cyber Stalking

Image source PinterestMen, in general, don't like women to think they are over-interested in them so rather than phoning their love interest, a man will look online and check their Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts etc. to see what they are up to.  They will also try and catch out the person if they have inside knowledge!  How childish but that's men for you.

19. Raining Beard Dandruff

Image source Dollar Shave ClubThere's nothing worse than a man whose dandruff has settled on his shoulders.  Actually, there is something that's even more repulsive, beard dandruff.  Watching a man scratch his bushy beard and seeing the white flakes cascade on to his lap is not a sight that should be experienced if at all possible.  He then stares at the flakes before brushing them off on to the floor.

20.  Peeing In A Bottle

Image source LatestlyHere's another disgusting one to prove that men are grosser than gross.  When they aren't interested in getting their 10,000 steps in, they don't see the point in going to the bathroom when there is an empty litre sized bottle of pop on the bedroom side table that can do the job just as well.

21. Wiping Snot On Their Sleeve

Image source RedditThis falls under the same category as ‘it's going to be washed anyway.’ There are tissues for a reason and one of the major ones is wiping away any bodily waste.  The male sex think nothing of wiping a runny nose or something more crusty on their sleeve as if it was the norm.

22. Marking The Territory

Image source Myloview.comOn the gross scale, this is right off it.  Men have not heard of toilet brushes and if they have, they don't think it's their job to pick one up.  So when they have been using the facilities for more than a pee, why do they ignore the marks left around the inside of the bowl after it's been flushed. It's honestly disgusting.

23. Enjoying The Stink

Image source Men's HealthUnlike women, most men actually enjoy foul smells especially the ones that emanate from their own bodies.  Take for example a man and a woman both getting back from the gym after a sweaty workout.  The female will get straight in the shower whereas the fella will be happy to sit in his body odour, eat his dinner and then wonder whether he should get a bath or use a wet wipe for under his arms.

24. What A Pair

Image source The MirrorThis one isn't repulsive so much as weird.  Guys that have just come out of the shower like to stand naked in front of a full length mirror and move about so their man bits swing about.  It's not a vanity issue but more about checking everything is in good working order!

25. Dropping Underwear

Image source PinterestIt is more than common for males to leave dirty towels, clothes and worse of all, underwear on the floor for their partner to pick up.  They wouldn't even make an attempt to hide any soiled undies, the ones they've worn 3 days running.  Why do women put up with that - they should get danger money!

26. Cupping

Image source LADbibleAs soon as that polite boy has turned into a man he is sure to develop the habit of cupping his nuts at every given opportunity.  It's not a sexual thing, more of a comfort for the overgrown kid.  He will do it automatically when he's watching telly or waiting for his microwave meal to ping.

27.  A Hair Raising Story

Image source PinterestOne of the unanswered questions about human beings needs an answer.  No, it's not 'why do men answer too honestly when you ask 'does my bum look big in this!'  What we need to find out is why men insist on picking hairs out of their chest, grey ones, long ones and/or curly ones.  They tend to do this when they're watching telly or speaking to a mate on the phone.

28. Morning Breath

Image source Men's HealthMen think it's acceptable to snog their partner in the morning and yes it is but not before they've brushed their teeth and swigged the mouthwash.  It's not on their agenda because they don't care.  They think if you love them, you won't be bothered!  They are so wrong.

29. Pinocchio

Image source LooperMany fellas should change their name by deed poll to 'Pinocchio'.  If they are asked to clean the flat/house on their day off, when their partner is working, they will make no attempt to do it, even though the majority of mess is from them.  Mid-afternoon, they will call their mum to come round, laden with polish and a duster but take the credit without an ounce of guilt.

30. Tread Carefully

 Men are constantly told to take their muddy trainers off before they walk through the house but need reminding all the time.  When they are on their own, they will purposely wear them indoors and even wear them in the bedroom.  The bits of dirt and debris that is left on the carpet is just left there.  In conclusion, men have filthy habits and don't want to change - but we still love them!

31. Peeing in the Shower

Image Source / www.self.comMen find it considerably easier than women to pee anywhere they choose, and the shower is probably the number one choice. It's efficient and easy when you're already in there, and most men would admit they've peed in the shower at least once.

32. Cutting Fingernails And Then Leaving The Bits Around

image Source / Dollar Shave ClubI mean, I suppose we should be grateful they actually make the effort to cut their nails. But like most men, it's always the effort to do something without the proper cleaning up afterwards - and the same applies to discarded fingernails left on the floor. And in the bath. Or on the sofa.

33. Turning Dirty Underwear Inside Out

Image Source / TwitterGrabbing that pair of dirty boxers from the floor, giving them a good ol' sniff and then turning them inside out to get another day's wear out of them. Saves doing the laundry - or, at least, that would be the case if they actually did the laundry. Ever.

34. Already Unpacking Before They’ve Even Reached The Urinal

Image Source / VoxThey push open the main door to the public toilet and before they're even across the room they're already unzipped and pulling it out in extremely early prep for their quick pee. Maybe other men in there don't even mind if they all do it.

35. Using Deodorant As A Substitute For A Shower

Image Source / T3Deodorant is a great option for a quick freshen up, there's no doubt about that. But when you're solely relying on a heavy amount of deodorant to help you stay clean instead of actually taking a good wash, it's not gonna work - and it's a bit gross.

36. Scratching Their Balls

Image Source / HuffpostThere's nothing wrong with scratching if you have an itch, but it's more about when and where you choose to do it. Sticking your hands down your pants and having a good scratch whilst out a restaurant, on the bus, even just watching TV... you get the idea.

37. Unsticking Their Parts On A Really Hot Day

Image Source / London Borough of Richmond upon ThamesThis one can't really be helped. When it comes to sweat and chafing, down there is one of the worst places to get sticky, especially for a guy. But the act of rummaging around, extending the legs and shimmying in the seat all to unstick their private parts... it's pretty obvious what they're doing.

38. Never Lifting The Toilet Seat

Image Source / Wikimedia CommonsIt's the age old saga from the beginning of time. Some men even say well why doesn't the woman put the toilet seat up for us instead of leaving it done? But it's more about the grossness of having pee everywhere on the seat when women have to sit on it, it's not about the position.

39. Picking Out Toilet Paper From Their Butt

Image Source / The GuardianEspecially if men have more hair down there, taking a good wipe might get all what you need it to, but you might still have the flecks of toilet paper wedged deep in there. And when you find out you do, you might feel the need to pick it all out.

40. One Hand In Their Underwear When Watching TV

Image Source / BroBibleIt might be comfortable, it might be a habit thing - they may not even realise they're doing it. But wedging a hand right down in their underwear and just leaving it there while they remain focused on the latest Netflix binge?

41. Wearing The Same Pair Of Jeans Forever

Image Source / The New York TimesYou sort of get a free pass with jeans because it's true they don't need washing all the time, and over-washing can actually risk fading or shrinking them. But staying in that one pair of jeans all the time when guys where them absolutely everywhere and never take them off... that's just a breeding ground for germs.

42. Not Shaking When They’ve Finished Peeing

Image Source / Encyclopedia BritannicaIt's good to give one final shake after peeing to get those last drops away because guys can't thoroughly wipe after like women can, but some guys choose not to do that and just shove everything back in the underwear where those last drops, of course, leak out.

43. Way Too Much Hair Gel

Image Source / AskMenWhen is hair gel too much? When it looks like a slimy, greasy mess - and also potentially rock solid depending on the kind of gel used. It's not the best look to see hair slicked back to that extreme, and especially if you want someone to run their hands through it and meet a brick wall.

44. Unwanted Nude Pics

Image Source / RadiopaediaAll guys take numerous nude pics, whether just for their own entertainment, to check what's going on down there or - in most case scenarios - to send to people who definitely don't want them and definitely didn't ask for them, thanks.

45. Catcalling

Image Source / Wanted in RomeThe mysteries of catcalling continue when women would seriously love to know why guys think that catcalling would ever be something sexy, attractive or wanted by any woman, ever. It's gross. It's grosser than gross. And the worst are those who do it and then hide.

46. Exposing Their Underwear

Image Source / QuoraBelts exist for a reason, and nobody wants to see jeans or pants fallen halfway down your legs to expose your underwear - even if it's the cleanest, shiniest pair of boxers known to man, and some guys might not even know that their underwear is showing.

47. Being A Manly-Man

Image Source / TwitterGuys might spend hours in private convincing themselves why it's awesome to be the manliest man, what they can do to look and sound like the manliest man and pretty much how to spread all that toxic masculinity that all the girls love.

48. The Bow-Legged Strut

Image Source / Men's JournalIt's always a bit gross to look like you're constipated when you're walking - and maybe you are whilst still trying to perfect that 'my muscles are too big for me to walk properly' kind of peacocking - but a lot of men seem to think it's more attractive than gross. Go figure.

49. Drinking Or Eating On The Toilet

Image Source / iStockIt's technically a seat, but that doesn't mean it's a dining chair. Some guys on a Reddit thread admitted they enjoy their morning coffee whilst emptying their bowels because, you know... it's a great use of time and why not?

50. Brushing Teeth While On The Toilet

Image Source / CNNAgain, it could be considered a time saver, just like how some people brush their teeth whilst in the shower. If guys know they're going to be sat on the bowl for a long time, why not make use of that time and brush you're teeth while you're there? Because there's nothing like starting the day with a gross morning routine.

51. They discuss their bowel movements in detail

Image source RedditSurely there are some things we can actually keep to ourselves and not describe to other people...in minute detail? Why do guys think we want to know everything, and we mean everything about their bowel movements. We certainly do not. Sharing isn't always caring...

52. Knowingly peeing everywhere and leaving it for someone else to clean up

Image source RedditLook it can't be that hard to just aim for the bowl right? So either you're not paying attention or you're moving around whilst taking a pee. But, when you see it splash all over the place at least have the decency to mop it up so that someone else doesn't have to do it.

53. Re-wearing the same outfit with stains on

Image source DailyMailThere's something about washing machines which guys seem to have a problem with. Maybe it's the carrying to clothes to to the machine or pressing the start button...or hanging it up to dry when it's done? Anyway, they seem to prefer to just re-wear things even with stains on.

54. They leave NOTHING to the imagination

Image source RedditYou know...there's definitely something to be said for keeping certain things private and keeping the spark alive. But, when it comes to guys they seem to have a nothing is off limits policy where they will either tell you or show you everything - even their earwax.

55. They do purposefully loud burps

Image source YouTubeIs this some kind of weird macho thing where guys actually think burping extra loud will impress us? How can they get is so wrong. There's NOTHING impressive about a burp. After the age of 5 it's not funny either. And the louder it is the more gross it is.

56. Scratching their ass

Image source RedditScratching your ass is for a private place. Not in public. Come on. Guys seem to think that they are somehow immune from social etiquette at times and if they have an itch no matter where it is they will simply scratch away like this guy right here...

57. They don't wash their hands

Image source RedditFirst off they're mysteriously quick in the bathroom so you already know they'll be a puddle of pee waiting for you when you next go in. And then, their hands aren't damp at all. Of course, he didn't bother washing them! It's really not that hard to be hygienic.

58. Leaving the door open whilst taking a dump

Image source RedditDoors are there for a reason. And whether you're with friends or your with your girlfriend it's always better to close the bathroom door before you do your number twos. For one, there's the sound element....then there's the smell. Guys just don't seem to mind.

59. Sniffing the armpits of their T-shirts to see if they can re-wear them

Image source RedditRe-wearing clothes is a good thing, it's better for the environment if we all re-wear and don't wash everything after every single use. But there is a line. And if you have to sniff the armpit of your clothes to see if it's time for a wash then it's safe to say it's probably time for a wash;

60. Smelling their own farts

Image source YouTubeIs there really any need to smell your own farts? I mean okay, we've all done it (admit it) - out of curiosity or just to be a little bit gross. But guys seem to love to do this every single fart. Especially when they are under the duvet. They must be very easily amused.

61. Telling their friends to smell them

Image source FacebookOne thing is smelling your own farts, but another thing is inflicting it upon your friends. And, even worse is announcing it like you've just done something really cool and then asking all of your friends to smell it. 'Wow, that was really amazing well done'.

62. Leaving skid marks in the toilet

Image source RedditWhat's more off putting than going to the toilet and finding someone else's marks all over the toilet. Ever heard of a toilet brush? Or toilet cleaner? It's not hard and it prevents someone else from having to look at it and from having to clean up your mess.

63. Leaving their underwear around with marks in them...

Image source RedditGuys love a floordrobe. They get undressed, they fling their clothes on the floor or the chair nearest to the in a big heap. And even if it's thing that nobody else wants to see like their dirty underwear they still keep it strewn on the floor for someone else to find.

64. Aiming their pee at something gross on a public toilet to remove it

Image source RedditNow this is really gross. Guys when they go into a public toilet like to aim their wee at the dirty marks on the inside of the toilet to watch it wash away and impress themselves with their fantastic jet-stream aim. They may not admit it - but they all love to do it.

65. Picking their nose

Image source RedditPicking your nose just really isn't acceptable unless you are a toddler and you know no better. Otherwise, it's one of those habits that just shouldn't be done, especialynin public. If you want to pick your nose in private where nobody can witness it then go ahead, it's still gross but at least we'll never know.

66. And WIPING it on their clothes

Image source RedditThen there's the step further which is even worse. When a guy picks their nose and then WIPES it on their clothes. This is just plain unacceptable and gross. They then end up with a snot trail on their clothes. How about you just use a tissue in future?

67. Sticking earbuds in their ears and leaving them around

Image source healthinfoThere's nothing wrong with wanting clean ears. But, then guys go and contradict themselves by then leaving the dirty ear buds lying around for other people to find them. Nobody else wants to find your old earwax hanging around, thank you!

68. Washing their sheets basically never

Image source RedditGuys just do not seem to be good at this. Sheet cleaning day can be annoying because putting on the new sheets is a bit of a wrestle, putting down one edge whilst the other one pings up. But it does have to be done. It's not hygienec to lie day after day in your old sweat.

69. Wearing the same gym clothes over and over

Image source RedditGym clothes are usually the thing that need washing most often (apart from underwear of course) because we sweat profusely when we wear them. But guys don't seem to care about this and they'll wear gym clothes until you can smell them up to five meters away.

70. Asking people to pop their spots

Image source RedditUnless you're one of those people who loves watching people pop spots (you know who you are), then you'll probably find spot popping pretty gross. Wy do guys need someone else to pop theirs? Surely the act of squeezing somebody else's is repulsive?

71. Never cleaning their fingernails

Image source RedditClipping, trimming and cleaning fingernails is a very important thing. When you see someone with dirty fingernails you automatically assume that their standards of personal hygiene is a bit off... But, this is often an area which guys tend to neglect.

72. Sniffing their arm pits to see if they have to shower

Image source RedditInstead of sniffing your armpits to see if you stink enough to actually get in the shower and wash....just take a shower! If you are seeing whether you can last another day without washing yourself then it's probably just time to take the plunge and scrub yourself clean.

73. Not showering when they have no big plans

Image source BlogspotGuys seem to be motivated by big plans. In fact, it seems to be the only think that motivated them to actually wash or do a grooming routine and wear fresh clothes. So if they have no big plans you'd probably be right to assume they'll be a little bit gross.

74. Picking things out of their teeth and eating it

Image source MirrorSaving a little snack in your teeth? A little bit of spinach or a bit of beef? Please don't. If you find something in your teeth and decide to pull it out and eat it again then this is completely gross. Instead just take a toothbrush and remove it this way instead.

75. Eating in bed and getting crumbs and stains everywhere - and then sleeping in it

Image source RedditEating in your bed can sometimes be very tempting and i'm sure we've all done it. Especially afte r a night out. But then we either take care not to spill or we change our sheets the next day. Guys, well they just sleep in a pile of crumbs and with barbeque sauce stains underneath them.

76. Licking the plate after a meal and considering it washed

Image source RedditWe've all licked the plate before, when it's too delicious not to get every last thing off your pate. But guys do this quite regularly. And more than this, they actually view it as a washing up technique. If you can't see the dirt then it's not there kind of mentality.

77. Not washing their face in the morning so the drool has formed a powdery texture at their mouth

Image source RedditEveryone dribbles or drools in their sleep sometimes. But when we do it we immediately wash our face in the morning. Some guys are really gross and leave it there so that the powdery texture remains, or they just brush it off with the back of their hand and consider it done.

78. Sneezing with NO attempt to cover it

Image source RedditSneezing is perfectly natural and can't be helped. And it's not always a good idea to hold in a sneeze for fear of rupturing something so we get it that they have to be let out sometimes. That's not to say you should not cover it though. Grab a tissue and catch it rather than spraying everybody in the vicinity.

79. Using one towel....for everything

Image source HygienetipsGuys see a towel and assume it's there to clean absolutely anything. From their freshly washed body to the food spillage on the floor to cleaning the dishes. They'll use one towel for everything. And usually it's convenience. They just grab whatever is closest and use it.

80. And never changing it

Image source RedditThis would be okay if they washed it after each time. But no, they'll never wash it if they are a particularly gross guy. Or, if they're in secret and think nobody knows that they've been using the same towel for weeks cleaning up absolutely everything.
