a few years back, I was at a former co-workers house as I was dropping off a few novels he was kind enough to let me borrow..

as I had walked a fair distance to arrive at his home, I asked if I could use his Bathroom... he tells me its at the end of the hall so I went to use it..
First thing I noticed was Directly across from the Toilet he had a TV, which was Connected to an old PS2..

after i drained the main vein I asked "whats with the TV in the bathroom?"
he replied "ohh, sometimes in the morning I have a hard time taking #$%@, So i just sit there and play that Gundam SEED game I ordered from Japan.. Oh yeah, didn't you want to borrow it?"
I was shocked, literally shocked so I replied "ahh, Naah.. I'm going through another game atm.. thanks though, I'll keep it in mind for when im done.."

needless to say, I never borrowed that game and instead ordered a copy myself...


still to this day, I found that to be just disgusting.. probably one of the most disgusting things I have seen at another persons home...



What are some disgusting things you have seen while at another persons house?

Having a game in his bathroom is his own business. Lending you a flagged game is just wrong.

I find that less disgusting and more weird. Who takes so long to do their business on the toilet that they have time to play a PS2 game?

How is that disgusting? Would reading a paper on the loo be disgusting?

I've been to people's houses where they hadn't EVER vacuumed or mopped the floors and they were caked in grime, burn marks on the walls etc., that sort of thing is disgusting. Also, my dad's aunt, who's kids had abandoned her (but kept saying they were taking care of her). The house was ramshackle, the fridge was full of rotten food, the toilet wasn't flushing. It was awful.

I can't even imagine doing anything else in the bathroom besides actually using the bathroom and get it over with. Guess that's just me though.

While the thought of a gaming console in the bathroom isn't disgusting to me because yeh, there is the rare occasion where I'm there for a while, but lending anything to anybody that normally resides in there is a no-no.

Its like a mag or a paper, it's flagged. Though unlike a mag or paper, you can at least use a sanitizer on the game.

Well you sure have a unique interpretation of 'disgusting' I think thats quite fine lol. I rarely go to others' houses, so there's not much. I did see this random house where they kept tortoises. The water was just filthy though, all brownish. Not sure if thats normal or good for the tortoise, but anyway i suppose they don't mind

sounds like they weren't properly cleaning the tank

I had a friend who kept a litter box in his bedroom. He had a male cat that wasnt fixed so the smell was strong. I had to fix his entertainment set up one summer when it was scorching hot and to make it worse his room was on the 3rd floor. I took an hour of punishment while his cat of course dropped a duece shortly after I arrived.

The odor was beyond strong. I never asked him why he kept the box in his room.

Odd, I've lived with cats (lots of them) my whole life, and I couldn't stand a litterbox in my bedroom. Nostrils of Steel.

My mother-in-law is a legit hoarder. Her house is gawd-awful

I can only think of two examples of truly disgusting things for other peoples living habits.

1. When I was about 13 years old I was over at my Uncle and Aunts house. Down below them was this considerably older house that my cousin and her husband lived in with their 3 kids. I went down to visit them(this was back when I was still on speaking terms with the majority of my family), and when I walked in, there was dog [censored] ALL OVER THE PLACE. I don't mean just a few piles here and there in one section of the house, I'm talking about piles of dog-[censored] every other step. They had 5-6 big dogs(like...german shepherds? Or something along those lines), and they just let them [censored] anywhere they wanted. They didn't even seem to notice that there was [censored] all over the place, they just stepped over/around the piles and went about their business. It stunk so horribly it wasn't even funny. Needless to say, I stayed all of 2 minutes before I hightailed it out of there.

2. My best friends cousins. They live so badly, that it doesn't matter where they live, they end up with massive roach problems. They don't do dishes but once every 2 or 3 weeks, they'll leave bowls/plates of food all over the place, just letting it get rotten. I visited them regularly(despite the roach issue, they were nice people and I had a lot in common with them outside of the dirtiness), and I always had to be constantly aware of the roaches so they wouldn't crawl on me, and even then I always shook my clothes out after I left and before I got in my car, because often I'd miss a few that got in the folds of my clothes. To illustrate how bad the roach problem was, I once borrowed a couple of video games from them. When I brought them home and opened one of them up, a hoard of roaches fell out of the case, which prompted me and my wife to start screaming and stomping on them as fast as we could to prevent them from getting away. I then took the other 2 cases outside and opened them up over a box, and the same thing happened. I then doused said box in bug spray to kill all of them.

Thankfully, me and my wife(my wife more then me, she's rather obsessive with it) are extremely clean people. Vacuum every day, do dishes every day, keep everything wiped down, bathroom gets fully cleaned at least once a week. No major infestation really has any sort of chance of happening inside our house, with the exception of stink-bugs, since those bastards can find ANY single crack and exploit it to get inside ><

Picking their nose and then eating it...not saying names...

I did that until the end of 5th grade. Looking back, I really wonder what the hell was wrong with me, I can't even fathom doing that now, lol

I'd like to think no one is disgusting enough to actually do something like that, but unfortunately, I'd be wrong.

Day ruined.

Just wait till you get older, then you'll look back on that comment.

Worst ive seen, other than public housing, was one of the women at work who refused to use the toilet because the men used it, even though the toilet was always kept clean, so she had to go to the top of the building to use one of the abandoned toilets, one day i went up stairs and the whole floor stunk, i tracked the smell to the toilet, she used the toilet and never flushed it, it was stacked to the top, it couldnt even be flushed, i put the top down, closed the door sealed it off, put screws in the door so it couldnt be opened and left it, there was one other toilet left in the building and i made sure she couldnt access it and forced her to use the main toilet. When the building got renovated when we moved out it would have be a nice present for the workmen.

I doubt I'll be getting that much older.

Agreed. I'm 32, and I play(or have played) a DS, a PSP, a Vita, all while on the toilet. I also regularly read on the toilet as well. That's all rather commonplace to be honest.
