33 Things People Did Until They Learned It Was Gross

Life is crazy. One day you’re minding your own business plucking your eyebrows on the bus, and the next, you’re not doing that because someone tells you it’s “gross” and that we “live in a society.” 

Yeah dude, that is gross, and we do live in a society — you can’t just leave errant hairs on public transportation and act like it’s normal. You also shouldn’t spit on your hands to lubricate them when they’re dry. There’s literally a cream for that. What are you even doing? 

Redditors have admitted to the nasty little habits they once had but abandoned when somebody yucked their yum, and if you’re such a big tater fan that you eat them raw, please stop doing that. You’re gonna get botulism
