Everyone should know basic hygiene. Wash your hands after using the bathroom, before eating or preparing food, after touching animals, and after returning home from somewhere else. Shower every day, brush your teeth twice a day, and change your sheets and towels at least once a week. You might slack off every now and then and forget to replace the sponge in your kitchen for a few weeks, but for the most part, keeping clean isn’t too difficult.
Well, for most people it isn't. Apparently, some adults have yet to figure it out... TikTok users have been recalling the most vile and unhygienic things they’ve ever seen someone else do, so we’ve gathered their worst stories below. We’ll warn you right now, pandas, that you do not want to read this article while eating lunch. Good luck making your way through these stomach-churning tales, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you want to take a shower immediately!

He’d been using the same towel, unwashed, for TWO YEARS. He said it was clean because he only used it to get out of the shower. It literally had mold on it.

He put on deodorant every 72 hours because the stick said good for up to 72 hours… I mean purposely not washing under his arms in the shower because he didn’t want the deodorant to wash away.

Went to his house for the first time and while we were cuddling, I notice he had a booger wall. Right by our heads and the pillows, he would wipe his boogers on the wall and leave them there to crust.

He spit snot into a water bottle that he kept behind his bed instead of getting up and using a tissue. You guys the water bottle was halfway full and BROWN. He used it in front of me like it was no big deal and then just put it back behind his bed.

He didn’t wear deodorant when we met but started after I convinced him. We shared the same deodorant and one day he told me that when his underwear were getting gross he would put the deodorant directly on them to get another wear.

My parents when cooking meat will put the now cooked meat back onto the original packaging before plating it, I now know why I never felt good growing up. They still do that and I refuse to eat at their house ever.
