A lot of people kiss their pets or non-human animals in general. I find that very weird. I understand that it is a sign of affection but it seems so off. One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this. Also it seems to be on a level of intimacy to me that I find weird sharing with a pet. Not necessarily romantically or sexually (that would be even more weird and wrong and probably illegal). But it is still "more". I am not sure whether I can really explain why exactly I find that weird.

Anyway, what is something that is weird to you but not to most other people?

not washing their hands after using the bathroom..

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 days ago

I'm in a building with multiple offices for multiple companies and one of them has a massage place.

Each floor has one set of shared bathrooms for men and women

The masseuse guy goes to the bathroom and I've noticed him there multiple times taking a dump, then walking out without washing his hands

And he then massages people all over...

I apply the George Carlin process to hand washing. After all when in public I know where my dick has been but that janky faucet and restroom door knob has been touched by every wet handed dipshit who put their hands through the germ infested air dryer in the place.

This is something I especially notice at airports. Depending on which state I'm in the ratio of men washing their hands changes drastically

Well, come on. What states are grosser than others?

Or people who flush with the toilet lid open. Gross
