I heard a story of a girl who picked up a bra from her dirty laundry pile and wore it. Her roommate seeing this was so disgusted that she proceeded to tell everyone she knew about it who then further broadcast the story and so on.
I have a friend who takes a bath only every other day and really doesn't give a damn about the whole lot of flak she gets about it.
Now a lot of people get completely put off by these little 'dirty' habits, but if you think about it, is it really such a big deal? I'm sure every single one of us does something or the other, that would disgust other people. We're just conscious about it and keep it well-hidden. But those that air it out, coz they don't really think its something that matters - they practically get the death sentence!
The other day I saw someone dig their nose. Out in public. I was so embarrassed for them! I remarked about it to my friend "ew I just saw her dig her nose, right out here in public! ew ew ew!", to which my friend just looked at me and said "yea so? I do it too.." At the time I mentally gagged but when I had the time to think about it, it doesn't seem so bad. I don't want people touching me with booger-y hands of course, but am I really gonna know about it? People come down with colds every other week around me. I don't stay away from them. Is this really so different?
So what if she wore a dirty bra? It's not like you're going to come in contact with it. Even if you do, go take a bath.. or don't. Everybody skips a bath once in a while. So what if its more often?
Big deal.
If we ostracised people for doing things that disgusted us, we'd lead a lonely, lonely life.
I'll take my disgusting friends any day.. :)
